Normally I do coin magic, but I watched the Detach video and it looked fantastic, so I thought I
would expand my repertoire. Watch the video, it's spectacular! Guess what? The video is exactly what
is advertised! You probably could perform this after about a half hour of practice.
However, being normally a coin magician, I know practice makes perfect, so I practiced this effect
for about two weeks off and on. Now I can do the effect in my sleep and do it very smoothly.
I performed it twice now, once in front of friends and again at an Easter party. I was
surprised! I got the same results both times, their jaws just dropped! I knew the effect was good,
but you should have seen their faces, they were totally blown away!! I get very good results with my
coin magic, but none any better than Detach.
When the trick is over they can't believe
the balloon is still in one piece. I also performed the bonus trick at the Easter party, which also
blew their minds. The tricks are easy, but I recommend you practice them for a while, so as to
perform them smoothly including some killer subleties.
The video is very professional and
all you need is the video and a normal balloon. I love Rick lax, he is real cool and explains the
effect brilliantly. When I purchased it I was saying to myself it can't be as good as the video, but
I was wrong, very wrong! What you see is what you get.
I will still be doing my beloved
coin magic, but for some variety I will always be carrying around a balloon or maybe 6 or 7 balloons
to do the bonus trick. Excellent job Rick lax, worth much more than the price, when you see your
audience's jaws drop! Keep up the good work!! I will have to check out your other tricks.....
Just a response to your final comment, Ray. Yes! Do check out Rick's other offerings!
The quality of all of Rick's other magic that I have purchased is top notch. I feel he truly cares about all aspects of his work. I know he is an excellent, excellent teacher - no exaggeration! He's excellent because he clearly explains the steps involved and will offer explanations around WHY certain things are the way they are. Doing so adds depth to your understanding of the effect. Even though you can "rewind" your dvd, Rick does not rush his explanations, nor does he allow his presentations to drag either. Finally, Rick has an A-1 sense of humor!
All in all, it is a delight to watch and listen when learning magic from Rick Lax. Do check out his work.
