First the downside - little that there is...This was shot at Christmas time, which is fine, but some
of the nonsense wears a bit thin after awhile especially after Christmas.
Secondly, it took
awhile to get to the actual magic while Dan and Scott had fun. SOOOO...don't stream this, download
it. You can get to the parts you want to see to review techniques, etc. and skip the silliness as
you see fit.
Some (righteous) "holding back" occurs on effects that are marketed
separately and pricey to boot. However, those are truly professional items and should not be fully
explained -It was great just to see them.
The upside - really great magic and
entertainment bits throughout from folks who clearly know and love their jobs. Laughed out loud
more than once and appreciated the simplicity and subtlety of the effects and great Scott's great
thinking.
He tips enough of several effects that you can construct your own. I happened to
buy the effect, "Slashed," and now I can see him perform it - it doesn't come with a video.
This is NOT in-your-face "street" magic, it is performance magic from an experienced and
creative pro, and well worth studying and reviewing. Watch, take notes and learn.
Entertaining and Informative
