Dan delivers in this modernized lesson! This lesson embodies exactly what I love about the Tarbell
series, Dan brings his new, original, and in some cases unusual presentations to this lesson. This
lesson acts as a great look at how silk and handkerchief magic can be updated and presented to
modern audiences. Dan explores over 15 different effects in this lesson. One of Dan’s opening
effects the Tarbell Hat and Silk Combination is a pleasant opener and would be great for the
magician looking to pack flat and still create entertaining magic. Tarbell's Silks and Aces is given
a facelift as Dan replaces the Silk with sugar and boy is it a sweet trick, as four kings and sugar
perform an astonishing transposition. Additionally, Dan’s pirate take on the Mystic Ribbons and flag
production is great and I can’t wait to see the second part of his presentation in the next lesson.
In my opinion, the best trick in the lesson is, The Perfection Flag Trick. Dan took this impractical
effect, which I thought would be impossible to bring to life, and made it into a well scripted
theatrical flag production which can act as the perfect closing effect for your show.
As
always, Dan is an entertaining and fun teacher and he brings each effect to life in a lesson the
pops off the page. So if you’re looking to add a little verity to your show by adding color,
excitement, flash and spectacle this lesson may be for you.
