The main feature of this download is the boomerang band, which Magic Man explains in the context of
a short routine. However, he also explains a second routine which is really, really good. His
touches on the penetrating bands/crazy man's handcuffs make his version the most convincing I have
ever seen. There is also a great 'moment' when a knot moves along the rubber band. The routine flows
smoothly (each step is 'well-motivated'), and it ends with the production of a coin. Magic Man says
that he uses these short routines to attract a crowd before segueing into his coin magic.
You can tell he has done these routines hundreds or even thousands of times. These routines are
perfect for a walk-around or street performer, or even just for an amateur in a casual setting.
Packs small, plays big and resets.
The video is shot really well, and you get both
real-world and in-studio performances. The explanations are shot in-studio and are clear and
detailed. The whole download is about an hour, and is amazing value.
Finally, a personal
anecdote: I actually once saw Magic Man perform the boomerang band live on stage in the 90s. It
played huge, and the crowd loved it - in fact it is the only thing I remember from that show, almost
20 years later (and there were several other performers). He can do it under fire in front of
hundreds of people.
It says volume 1 - I can't wait to see more of his magic!
Two great routines by a real-world magician
