I commend Dan for his knowledge tutorials on the Tarbell line I own several and they are always
entertaining, with a well of knowledge the things Dan brings to these effects are well worth the
money.
As in most of these old Tarbell routines there’s a lot more DIY than this generation is
used to. I learn so much from these videos from the names of hardware store items, fabric store
items, dollar store items, If you have half the mind of Dan you are insanely magical. He constructs
so much there from adaptations of old hat effects to stage and blocking to the actual feeling
invoked by certain gestures or prop choices.
I agree that some of these routines are a bit
complicated as Dan points out himself but some of the props he drops for builds should be put out by
p3 maybe that’d help get that book out? Dans given the magic community and young dreamers so much to
think about. Penguin should produce some of these ideas he’s had and cut him another check.
If
you can sell THE EYE for 45$ (which I’m pretty happy with all n all) this spinal cord routine could
easily sell for $100 with a nice bit of kit whether it’s rubber or plastic.
Some have pointed
out it’s a bit flashy, but the more magic I’ve seen in real life the more I understand it’s not
video perfect every time the stage is not a sans mind video. The idea is to entertain and as much
co tent as is in Tarbells I dare any of you to get one routine perfect and film it. Not to mention
get all the rights and contracts ans all that businesses in order as well and show me a flawless
performance. Still laughing and bringing joy Dan is a Legend
Let’s get Dan some credit he
deserves! This generation needs guys like Dan!
