THE LONG & SHORT OF IT is not a card trick.

THE LONG & SHORT OF IT is not a coin trick.

THE LONG & SHORT OF IT is David Regal's magical explosion of the classic boomerang illusion, a complete performance piece packed with amazement and amusement, suitable for all ages. Laughs and gasps combine as pieces of wood appear to change size in ever more intriguing colorful combinations.

An elegant burgundy sack contains four brightly-painted pieces of custom-crafted wood. The theme of the routine can be tailored to one's audience:

  • A demonstration of audience hypnosis
  • A reenactment of the time you taught kindergartners
  • A look at poor quality control
  • The reason you failed geometry
  • The miracle of "adjustable wood"
  • The power of suggestion
  • What happened when you tried to assemble that thing from IKEA
Or even...
  • The techniques behind Classical Architecture (Regal's routine)
THE LONG & SHORT OF IT adds elements to the classic prop that are doorways to comic opportunity and magical mayhem. It's three minutes of fun, overflowing with moments of astonishment - that's THE LONG & SHORT OF IT.

Great interlude great reactions Report this review

The best magic to me is anything that is fun to perform and also gets great reactions.
This is definitely worth looking into if you agree with that.
Fun, easy, packable, visual, and customizable to fit your needs

Just performed this a dozen times last week end at an out door festival and was so happy with the reactions this got. Several people approached me through out the weekend to say "hello we really enjoyed your show....about those wooden arches... "

Gave me a chance to catch my breath in the middle of my show and truly connect with my audience

A Truly Fun and Portable Effect! Report this review

When I first saw this I thought, "No ones going to fall for this age old optical illusion." I couldn't have been more wrong. David's presentation combined with the very well made props makes this effect strolling gold. I've watched adults scratch their heads trying to figure out how these blocks continually change size! Even kids who are familiar with the optical illusion are laughing and asking "What the..." by the end of the routine. This effect has earned a permanent spot in my strolling and restaurant acts. I'm ordering two more as back-ups!

Like so many others I have bought magic and used it or disposed of it over the years.
That’s part of the fun, gamble intrigue and involvement with the art, trade, investment and joy of magic.
The very fact that David Regal is able to take a concept from one million BC and make me feel like I just discovered Chocolate Ice Cream should be enough of a review. But.
Here’s the thing -is it a trick? A story? An interactive mind exercise?
A mystery? A joke ?
Who Cares- it’s a magic moment and that’s a Big Deal.
Oh-it is a spectacular moment to view from a spectator point of view, but the the biggest thrill is from my perspective.
The slide of the wood- the click and sound of the pieces, the feel of the shuffle with the wood, the visual tap dance with the wood and the fun story of your own imagination.
Yep . Magic.
This the first Magic I’ve used in many years that’s magic for ME!!!I

This is just plain fun! Report this review

Is this a magic trick? Most would say probably not, but it sure does look magical! You get just what you see, the bag and the 4 arches, plus a link to the tutorial. It is something you can learn to do immediately, with very little practice.

It amazes both adults and children, so it plays to any audience. Another winner by Mr. Regal!
