Magic Tricks

An excellent presentation of seance material to add to any parlor, stage or bizarre act. This is fun to watch and gives plenty of practical information.
This DVD is for the magician who is interested in PERFORMANCE, style, communication and appealing to the emotions and feelings of their audience. It is not for the magician who focuses on extreme, "in your face" sleight of hand tricks to amaze people with their fast skills. There is little application for the street magician (although with a little imagination you could adapt some of the material).

As for originality of content, it exists in the presentation rather than the technical information - as it is intended to be. Seance magic is a very old form of magic and the techniques presented here are a study in the old techniques.

Overall, this is an excellent addition to the library of the magician interested in the deeper art of magic and performance. It lost one star with me simply because I would like to have seen a bit more done with Houdini's spirit table, and perhaps a bit more in-depth history.

I admit, I hesitated a few weeks on this purchase because of the few bad reviews - after seeing this for myself, I recommend it highly - add to cart and broaden your mind.
