Magic Tricks

Simply put this is a classic masterpiece. The thought and detail that Mariano has created / reworked are worthy of 10 stars! The vanishes are a blend of classic and modern (old and new) and are totally awesome. The handling and sequence are brilliant. So why only 4 stars you ask? What would make it better? Like 5 stars better? The performances were for the camera only and not a real live audience complete with real reactions, heckling, and challenges. As Bruce Lee might comically point out - boards do not hit back. A real audience can be difficult to manage ... additionally a room full of magicians are more than kind and extremely passive ... but the camera simply does not care. Finally - A waltz is perhaps a little too stiff and dry for some performance styles. Although lovey, a waltz may not be well suited for everyone's performance environment. I do not find it a good fit for my shows or performance style. To include a more upbeat and modern variation would have been very nice, as such would appeal to a much broader youthful audience. Any extra bucks required to achieve this would have been considered money well spent. This is indeed a classic. A modern classic masterpiece. Well done Mariano ... very well done.
