Magic Tricks

Wow. Tom Wright. I'll remember this name. his personality is visible through his act, but every trick is not tailored just for him, which sometimes is the problem with lectures. This one, you can adapt everything to you, it's full of practical magic you will do. And I believe that words gets thrown around too easily. This time they are completely justified. There are not too many tricks, just enough for them to be thoroughly explained, and wow they're good. I will use his name killer routine in my restaurant act from now on.
- bottle production: beautiful and simple as well
- card out of mouth: BEAUTIFUL piece, one of the highlights for me, great reactions, gives logic to an unjustifiable move that now becomes just perfect. I already have an idea for a little twitch that will make this trick part of my close up act.
- bottle through table: the best explanation I've seen, touching every fine point but still concise
- Chop Cup: good, solid routine with a Chop Glass gimmick. The idea he suggests for the ending makes me want to do a chop glass routine too.
- Psychic Touching: his version of PK Touches, to me the "weakest" of the effects here, meaning it's alright, simple as well, and can get good reactions, but I feel it's a bit too short, can present some problems, and if you're interested in PK touches there are other versions you might want to try. Interesting none the less.
- chill: haunted deck in the spectators hands, very good, solid, a method you might want to try if you do HD in your act. It is thought for stand up magic.
- Name Killer: ok. everybody has a go-to card routine, the one you always do when you open with cards, this is nothing groundbreaking, in fact, I do a very similar card routine with the same ending. But the way it is structured is just better. Better than mine at least.
- Oblivion: I don't work with ITR, I tried a very hyped up gimmick, had horrible results, felt ripped off of my money, never tried again. I might have just realised, hearing Tom talk about it, I had the wrong approach. My problems aside, this maybe the easiest handling for floating coin to exist. So easy that I may even try it in the near future.
Interview with Dan: I like Tom's personality, he is very experienced for his fairly young age, he shares some of the worst things that have happened him in gigs, as well as his reasons to prefer stand up magic. Very enjoyable from beginning to end.
