Magic Tricks

Mark Calabrese provided an eclectic mix of workable stand-up and close-up magic. The great thing about many of the items he teaches is that the principles that are explained can be applied to more than the effects that are taught. There was cell phone based mentalism (Cyrano & Potato) for those that want to take advantage of 21st century techniques for appearing to read minds. By the way… I saw Mark use these techniques at a local charity event that I attended and they got great audience reaction. The No Dice effect will tip a method that again can be applied to other dice based effects. Blow provided a cool take on animating a card. The NLL already has me thinking of alternate ways to use that technique since angles often hamper my ability to use a traditional lapping approach. I had bought his DVS DVD & ’special something’ several years ago and he shared some new approaches using it as well as how to obtain some ‘special something’ at a local Walmart or Walgreen’s in a pinch. If you are looking for an interesting mix of magical thinking, then this might be the download for you!
