If you are into comedy magic and you don't already know who Scott Alexander is, you are missing out!
I am a big fan of Scott's work and I have seen all of his penguin live lectures. Brilliant
stuff. Some of the things he teaches in this live act can also be found in his lectures but still
this live act is worth the money and the time.
The teaching of the tricks is great and Dan helps
a lot with his remarks and questions.
Scott begins with a full routine with a bill
switch, a chop cup and a SIGNED bill in fruit!!
He then goes into a fantastic invisible
deck presentation with an invisible watch becoming visible in the process. An excellent magicians
fooler.
After that, he shows his presentation on standing-up ring flight and shares a few
jokes and gags.
But he doesn't stop there. He shows a comedy mentalism trick full of
laughs. (Witch is my favorite of all the act, by the way. Solid comedy gold)
Next on the
list is his unique handling of color monte, along with a terrific poem to go along with the
presentation.
Finally he wraps everything up with his card in beer bottle trick, witch is
the most skill demanding of the act, but still easy to do. This is the closer and I think it is the
perfect way to end an act like this.
The act is about 35 minutes long and all the props can
fit in a shoe box. Also there are no product "plugs" in the act.
I Have read a lot of
reviews about Scott's live lectures saying that there are too many jokes and songs and not enough
matterial. Well boys and girls this one is a lacture full of tricks and ideas, so you have no
excuse.
I am sure that you will enjoy it and that there will be something for everybody.
My only compain is I wish there were some songs in this one too!!!
