Hello,
This is what you get. Egg magic. Of course.
In comparison to his other work, you get
way less content.(still over an hour.) Mostly talking about these long hard and expensive to make
gimmicks.
DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR TYROS
I personally will probably never use this stuff. That
is not to say that the stuff is not good. It is extremely well taught and great quality video. He
teaches only two effects and various methods for both of them.
Requires heavy gimmicktry and
not so easy stuff to get.This is the worst Lesson I have gotten so far.
A fellow Penguin.
"...Expensive to make gimmicks..." ? In yer dreams. "...not so easy stuff to get..." ? In yer elitist,'TYRO' disdainful nightmares.
Dan Harlan and Penguin Magic are democratising magic, bringing it back to the ordinary everyday folk of community entertainment, that - ironically - Tarbell knew and then ruined by joining those wearing tie and tails during 'Magic's awful era of theatrical commercialisation' - particularly 1950's to 2000, and attendant racism, sexism and David Copperfield greed, selfishness and insolence.
Making magic is what Harlan does - like Hoodini and his crew of mechanics/scientists. Harlan and Penguin magic are training future magicians from the bottom up, from where it all started: from the physical sciences + imagination + story-telling (misdirection, fibbing, lying and smiling).
Harlan and Penguin Magic link with nearly all areas of school and higher education, including the arts and crafts and theatre...because the Tarbel Lessons require the manipulation of everyday materials and processes.
Viva the democratisation of magic and the Agents of everyday playfulness with ordinary objects and taken-for-granted processes of science + imagination.
These eggs didn't make me crack a smile.
