Magic Tricks

I use two types of blindfolds in some of my routines. Unfortunately, while they get a brief mention in this lecture, there is little in the way of expanding on my current use of them. It was interesting to know how Osterlind's blindfold works. It is by far the most spectator proof on the market and there are some useful tips here but these take up very little of the lecture. Instead you get a lot about how he came up with the concept and design for his blindfold. I wasn't particularly interested in this and it gave the lecture a feel that it was an advert for the gimmick rather than a lecture on techniques and routines. Osterlind does disclose a method for an impromptu blindfold that can be used without buying anything which I may use if the occasion permits. I will also utilise the pointing finger part of his routine and possibly find some plasters to put over my eyes as well. Overall, I was hoping for more ideas to add to my routine.
