I have purchased Copycat as soon as I've read the information that came thru e-mail. I have never
jumped into an effect before, but there was something in it, besides the fact that it fooled Penn &
Teller, that drew me to the purchase.
The effect couldn't be cleaner, simpler, more
magical and practical.
But what made me write this review is the amazing care that David
Parr has put into the explanation.
He is a down-to-earth, tender, disciplined, respectful
and very well educated magician. And I say this because I have seen magicians every day of my life
for thirty years now, and almost none of them have these desirable characteristics.
I have
purchased hundreds of effects and DVD's and lectures, and I have very seldom seen someone so
pleasant to "be with" during a lesson in magic. He not only says that he has performed the effects
hundreds of times, it shows in his demeanor, and his tremendous care for little details, that I
believe only professional magicians, and amateurs who really put deep thinking into their magic will
appreciate.
The simplest props, the simplest preparation, the immediate reset, the clean
procedure, the hands on for the spectator, the lack of need to talk or explain things, and so on.
Beautiful experience, great effect, many thumbs up for David Parr and Copycat.
Thank you, David, for such a charming offer to the magic fraternity.
