Hi all,
I'd like to share this with you all. Its a new packet trick marketed by Alakazam magic by Wayne Dobson called Spectrum. I hope you like it, Simon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbv537r0fF8&feature=g-all-c |

I do like it, Simon! The spectators were not the best, though. "Oh...OK." And a wan smile. That's why I don't do much card magic. I need much more intensity. Swear words. Astonishment. Emotion.
After the HOURS of practicing, and getting a routime right, to get, "Oh...OK." is an insult! As I stated before, my magic is changing. I don't want "puzzles to solve". I want MAGIC! I never claim what I do is real, but...it is nice when they THINK that! I see where this Spectrum effect could fit into a larger routine, involving the spectator and a tale or two... Doug |

I agree! Darwin says in Strong Magic never to dislike an audiences reaction, but to learn from it. But I must say this was a minor P**s take! So I'm glad you agree. Every other time I've performed it its been great. Ill Just pretend they were to *astonished* to react, to satsify myself ;-)
I think this is also the perfect effect to reinforce what you said of performing MAGIC , without having to claim its real. It is indeed a fantastic effect. I have toyed with creating a story around it aswell, wont be changing from my patter just yet though! Simon |

It is really not an energetic presentation on that clip, unfortunately it looked like he walked up to the first two girls he saw and just went through the motions. My theory on magic is - Anybody can do magic but not everybody can perform magic.

I know what you mean, unfortunately these were two people with whom I had previosuly arranged to do the tricks for. I have a minimalist performing style, normally do this effect for larger crowds, and they werent the most responsive. I do know what you mean though, believe me I tried it the way your saying. didn't work for me unfortunately, I drew my style more from Blaine and Dynamo, and mainly perform mentalism. Works for me thus far.
