Rich Marotta Stand-Up Comedy Magic One
I was asked by a café member to do a personal review of this DVD for those thinking about buying it. Let me say Rich is one of the funnest guy in magic anyone from New York will tell you he is a treat to watch perform in any comedy clubs. He is in a lot of ways old-school stand up. The DVD is full of tips and performance suggestions for doing Rich brand of stand-up magic. Without giving too much away, Rich gives you some real world solid advice on when lines fail and having the correct material much needed advice for doing this type of venue. The magic he performers is very organic. Paper bags, Jumbo Cards, Business Cards, Rope, orange everything one would want to pack flat to do Comedy Club Magic with. The show is performed at a comedy club and he even does an encore so you get to see how a master handles a call back. During the video Rich pops up to give you explanations and tell you, what just happened and how he took advantage of it. Personally I like the DVD it gave me some ideas for my own show. The magic effects are easy to do and the way I like to do them. Rich style is telling jokes and then doing magic then telling more jokes. For me his style is more like I saw when I was a kid and dad would take us to see a comedy show. I learned a lot about Rich and his style of effect placement from this DVD. All the effects he does are great but for me it was awesome to see the master do his Mugged routine. I personally have my own version of this that developed with the help of Matt Fore but it was nice to see Rich do his comedy take on Tommy wonderful routine. I have also adopted some of his McCombical prediction routine into my act the little subtly I picked up from his routine helped my own. He does not however explain this effect but if you own it you already know how he does it. If you buy this DVD let me suggest that you watch it a few times, look at how Rich interacts with the audience and how he is so casual in his approach. Don’t let his comedy offend you, keep in mind this is a true performer doing stand up in a comedy club so he know just what to say for the audience he is performing for. I hope this helps those looking at buying this DVD. Just a few of the effects shown on this DVD and the advice is well worth the price. I am very pleased to have this in my DVD library.
