Mike Gallo is a good friend of mine, but please don't let that tarnish this review. I was so
impressed after viewing, that I just had to jot down my thoughts. Mike Gallo has developed a
reputation as a top coin guy, showcased on the famous New York Coin Magic Seminar DVDs. But Mike is
an expert with all genres of close-up, and showcases some of his favorite routines on this Penguin
download.
There is plenty of magic in this 3.5 hour download, hosted by Eric Tait, and
taught in detail with multiple camera angles. For the coin guys, you will find a cool coins across,
a couple of Okito box routines, and Gallo's take on the Ramsay Coins and Cylinder. But the best
trick for me is his startling Ungimmicked Copper Silver Brass. Top notch magic, none with knuckle
busting moves.
But Gallo teaches so much more! His three ball routine is a classic easy to
carry miracle. He performs and teaches his famous ball and vase routine, a routine with a small cup
and three balls, and a wonderful cups and balls.
But that's not all! There are two
unpublished card routines from his father Lou Gallo, that are sure to go into your repertoire!
This is without a doubt one of the best downloads that Penguin has produced. Worker material
for all close up workers. I can not recommend this highly enough. Thanks Mike for giving out all of
this great material!
