Let me start off by saying that for years, I have always closed my shows out with Liquid Metal 1.
People have asked me years later to do "that fork trick again!"
I was very excited when I
found out that Liquid Metal 2 was coming out and then very disappointed after viewing the content.
For starters, why didn't Penguin Magic produce this video? Ellusionist did a very quick and cheap
production of this DVD.
One thing I love about LM1 is that you have a really cool souvenir
to give to the spectator in the end, which they will treasure and keep for along time. In LM2, the
only souvenir they get to keep are some broken pieces of metal.
Another thing I love about
LM1 is that people alway accuse me of "switching out the fork" at some point during the illusion. I
take that as a complement, because they couldn't be further from the truth. In LM2, you have to
stoop to the level that the spectators already assume.
I will continue to perform LM1 in my
shows, but honestly, I can't see incorporating any of the ideas in LM2...
No where near as good as LM1
