3 NEW Loops DVDs are coming out, by the masters themelves, Finn Jon and Yigal Mesika. They're long too--each one is like 60 minutes. MJM Magic and a bunch of other magic shops have them up for pre-sale. Looks like they'll be on Penguin too. I, for one, am really looking forward to this. I use Loops all the time in my performances--Mesika's Floating Ring and Mystery Glasses are astonishment gold. I can't wait to finally learn Mesika's Floating Bill from the ET DVD--the one where the bill is flat and levitates up in the spec's hand then turns over. These should be good--DVDs on Loops from the masters. Check em out:

I just got home and found my DVDs waiting for me in my mailbox. I'm really surprised there isn't a bigger buzz on this. I'm about to sit own and start watching now, but I have a question. The DVD set comes with the InnerCircle card. Apparently this credit card thing is supposed to be used for storing and carrying loops. But honestly I'm a bit confused on how to make use of it. I have an idea but I'm not sure if I'm right. If anyone knows would you mind filling me in? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Exitmat, I was wondering if you could tell me how these compare with the Loop DVDs from Ellusionist. I liked those and was wondering how much new material is really to be learned...moving forks and haunted packs redone? Thanks for your thoughts?

I just got it and veiwed it. Nothing particularly new for old hands at loops. Interesting from an historical perspective. I haven't viewed "Reflections", which they refer to in the dvd as "volume 3". I think that may be where some of the better tips regarding lighting and so forth may be found. All in all, not exactly what I was hoping for. Not bad, though.

The cool thing is that Finn Jon is performing a one man show in Oslo pretty soon... I do really look forward to it. Finn Jon's magic is real magic.

I am hoping this will be sold in the UK soon...
I especially like the idea of the 'credit card thing'.

Inner circle? Do you mean the member card included?
I didn't even know that what it is for? I tried to put the pack into it after read your thread piers, but the pack just doesn't fit. |

I modified the loops card by cutting off about a half an inch from the yellow card and cut new notches in the cut off end. Now it fits handily in the credit card "case" (althogh the loops are little "loose-fitting" on the yellow card itself). I keep it in my wallet. Very cool. Would have been nice if some explanation regarding modifying the card was included in the dvd package. I couldn't find any, but maybe I just missed it. Anyway, not hard to figure out on one's own...

On DVD 2 there is a demo of how to put the card in ... the card. I haven't tried it yet but will be interested to see if it fits first time.
( The DVD comes with the InnerCircle Card, but no actual Loops ) The DVD's are ok. Nice production and interesting interviews. I think once you have seen one effect explained, it is quite easy to come up with your own effects. Perhaps that is the value?! Reflections, the 3rd seperate-to-buy DVD looks more interesting as it talks about light issues and tips, so I beleive... Nice DVD's.

Besides other factors, lighting and background are the two most important factors when playing with EIT & IT. Yigal Mesika & Finn Jon reveals their life time experience in REFLECTIONS. Overall it’s a nice educative DVD. I would say the DVD is a must have for both, the novice as well as the experienced.
