I have recently purchased "The Art of Astonishment" series by Paul Harris. He has a creativity about his magic that I truly enjoy, and that strongly reflects my style (or what I want my style of performance to be.) Many of the tricks I enjoy however, aren't those featured by other performers on magic video sites and other broadcasting forums/websites. This is only a concern for me simply because my learning style really requires that visual aspect that I'm not always able to get from reading a routine in print. Some of the tricks I am refering to are those not using cards, such as: Earth Shoes, Apple, light and heavy dime, Lip balm, hot chocolate, and so forth. Can anyone that has performed these and others like these featured in his series let me know some of the reactions they received? Also, the light and heavy dime routine requires a penny expanded shell. Where in the world can I get a penny sized shell? Keep in mind, I'm not refering to an english penny. thanks for your help!

Mac King uses "Earth Shoes" in his show...and I can tell you that, when the rock hits the stage, everyone is floored!! (Excuse the pun). Looy put some thought into this routine and it's a real fooler.

Bill Malone produces a lemon from his shoe in his bill to lemon routine.

You can get a penny shell lots of ways. You can but The Bat. There is this pen out, adn I think it's called the "Electronic Rating Pen", or something. That comes with a shimmed penny shell too.

Look for the classic Dime and Penny trick (Adams magic, I think). It's a small version of the scotch and soda. I'm assuming you need the penny shell to fit over the dime...if you need one to fit over a penny, I can't help you. I'm in the process of ordering the AoA series, so I don't know the effect. Good luck.

I used to do Earth Shoes, except I produced a bottle of beer from my shoe. don't ask--I was young, it was a phase I was going through--anyway, it worked very well and it is super duper easy.

I know a street magician who makes his living performing on the street. He does a rock from shoe and sometimes a other things.
Dime and penney is available at every magic shop. |
