Hi all,
my name is Jasper Blakeley, my username on the Café is Drax, but one of several characters I perform as is 'Kockov'. Just to let you know that I recently filmed my 90 minute one-man 'Kockov' mentalist show for Alakazam, and they're about to release 2 DVDs created from the show. The first one is called 'Plunge Of Death', and features my unique version of a 'dangerous hidden object under cup' routine, that costs about the same as a packet trick to make, but plays big, plays funny and plays safe*. As a bonus feature on this dvd, you also get my own version of 'Live Russian Roulette', which I perform with 4 revolvers, but as I explain on the dvd, can be adapted to play with any danger object. An extra bonus on the DVD is footage of the first half of my show. The second dvd is called 'Dial-abolical', in which an 11 digit number can be predicted from any ungaffed telephone directory you choose, and the performer is blindfolded from the start. As a bonus feature on this dvd you also get a full explanation of my 'Blindfold Book Test', which uses 6 ungaffed books and 6 volunteers. As an extra bonus on the DVD, you get the second half of my show. Peter at Alakazam has not yet put a price on these DVDs, but I believe them to be well priced at under £20.00 each, possibly with a discount for pre-ordering both, but nothing is final. I perform as my Russian-esque alter-ego Kockov, with the explanations done as myself. The DVDs are great quality and have been produce by Russ Stevens at RSVP magic. Word of warning though, Kockov is a very adult performer and performs for adult audiences, the DVDs are an 18 certificate and carry an Explicit Nature warning. Be warned. I am an entertainer who happens to be a magician, and as such I've created these 'low-tech' effects to be instantly adaptable to almost any performance style in almost any environment. These are 'real-world' effects that work for me in my private, public and corporate engagements and I'm now hoping they'll work for others too. The DVDs are due out in the next couple of weeks and were great fun to do. I'm a passionate professional performer, maybe a little too rude for some, but I'm hoping for some great constructive exchange of views once people get to see the material. Enjoy Jasper/Drax/kockov (*very very safe for me, but at the end of the day safe is only as good as the alertness of a performer ! ) |

Thanks Ash,
spoke to Peter over the weekend and he's hoping to send me the DVD cover proofs this week with the intention of running off the first batch next week, so on sale by the end of August? I'll post here as soon as they arrive. Regarding 'I am an entertainer who happens to be a magician' - it's my mantra and one I try and pass on to others. If someone remembers a trick or effect but forgets the name of the performer, how will you get a future booking?, but if they remember your name, remember being entertained and remember laughing, great. The real trick is to get them to laugh a lot, remember your name and remember the effect and remember being amazed - now you're really laughing. Regards Jasper* |

Not long now Ash, and Peter's selling them less than I thought he would ! (sounds like a sales pitch line to me ...look into my eyes....)
Once they do start being delivered I won't be around much on the forums for comments as I've just been invited to perform as part of an illusion show at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas during next month, also hoping to make an appearance along the strip as Kockov for the Nevada audience, don't know what they'll make of him/me. Regards Jasper* |
