I bought this dvd when it first came out and it's been my closer ever since. I've done this on
stage at churches, in living rooms, at birthday parties, and outdoors as well. It gets laughs
throughout the entire routine because each laugh is built right in. The biggest reactions come at
the end when you get out of the chains in front of everyone.
You literally hear the gasps
from the crowd when you shake the first volunteers hand, and then a huge round of applause happens
right after you shake the second volunteers hand, and you end in a perfect applause position. The
entire routine is beautiful from start to finish. The audience knows that you're getting out, but
it's how you're doing it.
The best part is nobody has a clue how you're getting out, even
when you get out in front of everyone at the end. The dvd is fantastic, and the teaching is second
to none. Once you learn the routine, the key after that is speed. You want the curtain to go up
then down for the next reveal in a matter of seconds. That's what adds to the magic, the quicker
you can get to the next phase and show it, the better the trick looks.
Now you do have to
buy the quick release shackles and also have the curtain made up as well, but for the money it costs
to buy this entire routine compared to what this routine will actually do for your act, it's
peanuts. It pays for itself over and over again. I've been using this as my closer for a number of
years now and the reasons are simple:
1. It packs flat.
2. Plays HUGE!
3.
Fills the stage.
4. Gets a lot of laughs.
5. Fools everybody.
6. Plays almost
anywhere (except restaurants)
It's worth every penny (props and dvd combined) that you
spend. Get it NOW, you won't regret it.
