Full disclosure, Will is a good friend and I have seen him destroy laymen and magicians with this
material.
Shock and Aww, Through & Through/Over & Under and Chan to Chanel are phenomenal
routines - they start off incredibly strong, have a series of quick climaxes and end with a killer
finish.
The Sentinel and World’s Toughest Card Trick each contain an incredible surprise
that the audience just doesn’t see coming. Oh yah, and they’re magician foolers.
Will not
only teaches phenomenal material he also explains his thinking behind the routines and this is where
these DVDs shine. The explanations and performance commentaries contain valuable insight regarding
pacing, Will’s performance philosophy, his approach when greeting a new group, how to make a series
of tricks feel like “a show”, the types of tricks that he performs for different audiences, and
strategies that he uses to get them on his side.
I would also highly recommend listening to
the 30 minute interview and reading his 17 page essay.
If you are looking to perform close
up magic for real people, buy these DVDs. Immediately!
