I felt it needed to be added to give you an idea of just what you are getting here. Take a look at all the tricks and moves you are taught. This is staggering on a single download. If, like me, you are quarantined, this would be a great buy for you. Tom goes over each and every move and sleight perfectly. Two things you will want to learn right away are Flip Hallema's Flip Stick (already considered a standard move and deceptive as all get out) and the Pen Spin. The Spin is not mentioned in the list of items but it is something you will want to take the time to learn. You have probably seen drummers with bands do this move with their drumsticks. If you don't do it, here is a hint. Practice over a bed or you will be chasing your Sharpie around the room. After playing with it a while, you just might want to throttle Tom as he makes it look so easy. I think this is his favorite thing to do just sitting around. At the end of the video, he has a discussion with Marvelous Matthew Wright and spends the whole talking time spinning his pen. Matthew then teaches his Sharpie up the Nose. What makes this different from the version you probably have been doing for years is that he shows the pen halfway up the nose before the vanish. It does require a gimmick but you are taught how to make it. I am sure you were not aware of just how versatile a move Flip Stick is. Tom uses it not only for vanishes but also switches for other objects such as a different colored Sharpie or a coin. He uses it in a Spellbound coin routine. This stuff looks like true magic in his hands and, although he looks very young, you can tell that he has spent a lot of time not only learning the moves but creating tricks and routines to be done with them. Now if you are as bored staying home as I am (and everyone else), you could not go wrong with this download. The tricks and moves are taught with subtitles instead of talking which comes in handy if you wish to stop and take a look at something. You will not have to search for the sound bite you need. Tom is an excellent performer and you will want to spent a few hours with this. Plus, as a download, you can have it now! Highly recommended. This is a nice piece of work. |
