I just enjoy a lighthearted show about our craft from time to time. It's refreshing and isn't targeted at riling everyone up This review show may not be for everyone but it is for some. Luckily there are different options out for everyone in different mediums such as Genii Magazine or other review shows. I watch as many of these reviews as I can to get different perspectives. That is another cool thing about having multiple review shows.

Hey Jim,
I agree with you that putting out a magic trick isn't necessarily a benevolent act. It's a capitalist one. No arguments there. But also keep in mind this show is, openly, sponsored by a magic shop that sells the tricks we're reviewing. So I hope you won't be too upset that we're not focusing on the tricks taking your money (cause I know those definitely ARE out there). On the plus side, we aren't going to be plugging any tricks we don't truly like (which would be the worst/most dishonest) thing we could do, so hopefully, yeah, you can at least be cool with that. And as far as the really bad tricks go...don't we do a pretty good job of tearing them apart here on the Café?

A review show does not have to review bad products to be fair. As long as the reviews they actually do are helpful and honest.
The show is perfectly up front that they are sponsored by a magic shop. Certainly a review show would help with sales and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing stopping any one from putting together their own review show and reviewing whatever they want. |

Maybe they shouldn't call it a review show... How about the "Penguin Cool Tricks Show". I love the format and see nothing wrong with only touting items that you like.

The gold of this show is the showcasing AND performing of the tricks. I already got a great idea for using Platt's Sugar Rush.

This is a great start! As a complete beginner, I would love to see more details into the skill level required to perform any of those tricks. Obviously, without having too much revealed -- but at least a difficulty estimate on an arbitrary scale would be fantastic.

Here is the second show. It's good...but...
I think the show should have more confidence in the hosts. Drop the gimmicky editing and the music and trust that the hosts can keep the viewers attention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOkNH8gtXeM |

I like the two guys sitting around talking about magic feel.
The music doesn't bother me, not sure why it's a hang up for some people. ~Steve |

I'm not one to bicker (usually), but the music is a bit too loud and its very busy music...Its not like its background ambiance, this is fast music, guitar soloing - jamming music that is attention getting. I found myself listening to it instead of listening to the show. No live demos this time either - I would of loved to see how they did with Vortex with spectators, oh well

I think the show could use a different title. "The Tricks We Dig Show" or "The Nothing But Awesome Show". Otherwise, I love it.

Oh yes! I am only a few minutes in episode #1, and I am a fan already! Sweet intro, choice music is clean and crisp. Great energy, proper edits. Gives the show a nice 'not afraid to point out the bloopers' feel. At the same time providing quick info fillers on each effect. I wouldn't sweat anything too early on guys, like a few others have stated, the show will find its creative flow, and voice. Like learning and practicing a new effect! I totally remember watching the WPR guys, before Blammo...and now they have a solid chemistry with each other and guest hosts. I come from a media background, so I quickly pick up on the talent that is just sprouting like a new leaf...even if others don't see it. This is gonna be a special homegrown show. Good luck guys! Laugh and have FUN! Weee!

These things naturally evolve. Look back to the first episode of another very popular review show and you will see something unrecognizable.
I love Penguin  They're a passionate group.
I think this show will do very well |

When is the next episode? It's fun to watch. I think that was their intention from the start. To be fun and entertaining and have a good time talking about magic. I'm looking forward to more.

The music is REALLY annoying, making it almost unwatchable. Other than that it's well done and Penguin is a really good company. If you want to keep the energy up and keep things moving, then do that with your hosting and demo skills, which you are doing. Craig and Daves show is very fun to watch and they use no music in the background.
