Just watched the show. Great as usual! Although, I wouldn't quiet agree with Riser. I just started performing it this week. I changed the plot a little bit, and found the way to make a setup much more reliable, and it really works for me so far. Reactions are good. The only thing is, as you say - it's not perfect for table-hopping etc., as you can't repeat it immidiaty. But if you're going to do it only once, I think it's really worth considering.

I love the wizard prduct review and this one was just as good as all the other ones. They are always really funny. Although those who say that David Penn talks over Craig Petty are right.

I was wondering if you could review The Ultimate Chair Test Routine by Luca Volpe and Titanas?

I think I prefer when Craig reviews a bad product compared to a good one!
My quick opinions: -Rizer looks GREAT. But for practicality purposes, I'd much rather use a piece of paper that can be given away as a souvenir at the end. I think it's equally as powerful. -The Plot Twists is a fantastic book!! As is The Plot Thickens! -Jeff |

From what I understand, "The Corner" is a section of the site (http://www.smproductionz.com/dl/the_corner/)
"The Corner is a virtual casual place where established names from the East share their creative minds and discuss the logic, reasons, and how they approach an effect along with a random demonstration. For the first time, this is a place where THE FOCUS IS NOT ON EFFECTS, RATHER ON THE IDEAS and everything behind the effects hoping to explore on the areas where many performers may have neglected" this DVD is about this section I do not know but I think the credits are to be found in the paid portion of the site (correct me if I'm wrong) I also expected more from "G" But it is interesting for creating effects I am a big fan of his work but I also missed the credits, which has to be on the dvd's I think you got a little heavy giving 0% But I really like the "Wizard products review" keep up with the great work Thankyou for the attention!

If they are in the paid section then that is terrible - I have to pay to see the credits for the DVD. Most of the effects aren't original or that good. They are the sort of things that would make a good contribution to a magic magazine but as a 2 DVD set - forget about it. The 0% was because the crediting is such an issue nobody should buy this set it's not good enough. If however the crediting is not an issue to you then I would rate the actual DVD at 50% - there are many products available that are much better value for money. Craig |

Good show guys. A bit of a dissapointment because you didn't make me want to buy anything but for some reason my wife thinks that's a good thing.
Just a couple of days ago I was gonna ask you to review Rizer so I'm guessing David read my mind. Theres a link somewhere of Eric Ross performing Rizer on Ellen which was pretty cool. So I think you might want to add that you might buy it if your name was David Blaine, Chriss Angel, OR you were going to be performing some magic on a TV show. How about reviewing Metal by Eric Jones? Thanks, Mike |

Most people will perform it a couple of times or not perform it at all. Therefore there are probably better things to spend your money on. I do want to look at Metal, Eric Jones is at Blackpool so perhaps I can get him to show it me live and up close. Craig. |

I bought The Corner de Project direct from SM Productionz on the strength of Imagine. Like you I was disappointed. While I understand your concern at the lack of crediting my biggest problem is that what you get isn't really what is promised. The disks say "A dual disk of amazingly visual and impromptu magic". Few of the items are what I would call impromptu, none of them are routines and all lack the substance to be anything more than something to supplement a proper magic routine. I'm also not convinced that some of these aren't You Tube Magic but then I haven't been inspired enough by any of them to do more than play the disks through once. Whether "only 500 sets worldwide" fulfils the claim of a "limited release" is also doubtful but since my set isn't numbered that too may be a claim which is hard for SM to substantiate. Lesson learned. Next time I'll wait for your product review before ordering. Mike Anyone want to make an offer for a nearly new limited edition DvD set? |
