Magic Tricks

This download/DVD is a wonderful example of what penguin LIVE has to offer. Each segment is presented masterfully and creates a fun learning experience.

Skippy by Harry Anderson 4/5
This story of when Harry ate a guinea pig on SNL is a great look at what the interview section of penguin LIVE feels like. It's not a trick but a wonderful story worth the listen.

Pop by Daniel Garcia 4/5

Dan taught a utility move in this card in balloon presentation. The performance alone was so good you simply have to see it for yourself. This move would apply great to an any thought of card in balloon effect.

How To Find Your Other Half by Woody Aragon 4/5

Having seen this effect before I was not completely blown away with the effect. This is a great effect don't get me wrong, but it's no ACAAN, but it is the one of the best effect on this download/DVD.

Carbon Paper by Jay Sankey 3/5

Personally, Sankey's work is a hit or miss with me and this lands more on the miss side. It's a good trick and would be a great thing to do at a bar but it's just not my style, but you may enjoy it.

Incredible Shrinking Rubberband - Dan Harlan 4/5

You think you know this one but Dan takes it to a whole new level. It's the most convincing best-looking version of the effect I have ever seen.

Oil and Water by Eric Ross - 5/5

I'm not a big fan of oil and water but Eric's quick straight forward version of the effect had me entertained and fooled! This can be a worker and is a highlight of the DVD for sure.

Coin in Ballon by Kenton Knepper -4/5

This is great magic and in a way, it feels different than the cell phone in the balloon. Having used this one in performance, it is enjoyable for adults and children alike. Yes, Kenton is not a high energy lecturer but this effect is in my magic vault just in case I need it.

Overall, this Download/DVD is a wonderful look at the Penguin LIVE experience. If you like the demo video you mostly will like this Download/DVD. So check it out, or not, the choice is yours.
