Magic Tricks

There were two reasons why I bought this video;
They advertised that there were new things here, and
that this material was intended for trade shows.

Well, none of this happened.
When it came to news, there was not a single one. All that happened was that Osterlind talked about the same things and effects that he has done in every single video since Mind Mysteries was launched.

As for what should be trade show material;
I don't know what kind of trade show Osterlind claims he performs for, all I can say is that no company in this country would accept long drawn out, obscure features that keep the audience off the boot for too long.
Exhibitors on trade shows' goal is to get as many people as possible to their boot and talk to them as quickly as possible.
A program like this is definitely not letting that happen.

This video has been called Richard Osterlind's Act
The truth is that it is not an act at all, with a beginning, a middle and an end.
By contrast, a handful of effects are quickly found and completely randomly performed.

The performance was obviously without plan and direction, indistinct, uncertain, and difficult for the audience to follow.
There were times when I wondered about Osterlind at all
knew what he was doing during this performance.
I would think that Osterlind could benefit from studying Ken Weber's and Bob Cassidy's thoughts on performing

As the reader will understand, this video is not recommended and I am considering asking Penguin to refund what I paid.
I have a large number of Penguin's other videos, and overall I'm happy with most of them.
- but not this one, which is by no means worth the money.
