Whether or not you ever do any of these tricks, it's worth having just for the performance and
explanations. Curtis is always creative and has put together a great act. Listening to him talk
about structure and performance situations and such was super helpful too.
I love his Okito Box
routine. It's certainly not a beginner routine, but doesn't seem like it would be difficult
technically. It's a lengthy routine with many steps and working parts, so it'll certainly take some
work to be able to do this. He tips where he got his Okito Box (I've got the same one and it's
definitely the best) and other props.
Opening coin trick is great - to do it like Kam, you'll
have to put together some things.
Second trick - Puka Stick - again, you'll have to make it,
but it should be pretty easy if you have moderate woodworking skills. This one is easy, and you'll
need to find your own presentation, but great thinking here.
The Tear - a classic with some
interesting handlings.
His final trick, plays big - great adaptation. This is one that I want to
do for sure!
Love how he took a table trick and made it stand up - it'll play anywhere now.
One of the great things about this video is how much bibliography he adds. All along the way, he
gives original sources for everything. The great thing is it fills in a lot of back story. Downside:
my "books/videos to get" has grown significantly after watching this.
Thanks Curtis for
putting out a great video - as I said, just having the performance is worth it. Watching the
explanations, along with hearing Curtis and Dan talking about it was very helpful.
GET.
THIS. VIDEO!
Totally worth it!!
