Magic Tricks

What does Kenton Knepper,Richard Ostirland and Doc have in common? They truly love the people in their audiences. They connect with them and the audience is on their side. The material on this Vol. is excellent - but again there are no new methods or new moves - as a matter of fact some of it is very easy technically. But as in all mentalism -it's success depends on the presentational skills of the performer. Take for example "Nightmare Coin" - a very simple coin trick performed to an engrossing story. You can see the audience being drawn into the tail and at the end the shock on their face was amazing. Again more presentational then technical. David Alexander does an excellent job of interviewing Doc and covers all the important handling details and the more important what to do if something goes wrong. Rhineless ESP- is a two person code that is worth the price of the tape. Doc goes into detail of how will use this with Corporate clients and teach the code to say the CEO and make him look like a star. Very powerful and one I am defiantly going to use. 1-In 10 is another great piece and a lesson in how to routine an effect. 40,000 Words - is a simple and great Dictionary Test - using an old principle. Doc has taken the weak points - tweaked them and made a very entertaining worker.

I am not sure why this series has gotten some bad reviews. Maybe as previously stated people were looking for new method. These are workers for real people. But they do require presentational skills. Also you need to know what type of venue you are performing for. Nightmare Coin would not be appropriate for walk around but sitting at a dinner table this could be an unforgettable performance piece long remembered after coins thru table,matrix or other coin tricks. The difference this has an emotional hook and provides meaning.

Recommend starting with Vol.1 then try this one - Highly recommended
