Double Take is one of my favorite effects. (I open with my HaLo Aces and when the gasps die down, and as I'm shuffling the deck, I say, "Oh; I'll be honest with you - anyone can do it!" And into Double Take. A jaw dropper. It's in the Quantum Leaps section of THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, Vol. 3. (Thanks for the plug opportunity!) Best - HL.

Apollo Robbins is fascinating to watch, but has such a smooth, soothing voice that he would be excellent for this.

This thread is about to make me fall asleep!

Only happens to me when I'm up to about midnight, but when I do fall asleep during a video I find I better remember the material I learned in the morning.

OMG I started laughing when I saw this thread because I thought I was the only one that got drowsy when watching a magic DVD. It almost always happens. I have to say that about the only one that didn't put me to sleep was CoinOne & Two by Liwag.

My favorite in lieu of sleeping pills: Al Schneider.

The man's a genius and fantastic magician; with a very soothing voice.

Lennart Green is a close second.

Mr. Lorayne, no offense intended. I'm sure my falling asleep while viewing magic videos has nothing to do with the performer or the content of the DVD, it's just for some strange reason I can barely make it through a whole magic DVD without dowsing off. Personally, I think your videos are very high energy and chocked full of great material!

Ha ha, yes! So many magic videos do this, these by far are the best in place of sleeping pills.

I fell asleep in most magic videos...

I think it is because when I watch them is the time before I sleep that explain why...

Magic, in my humble opinion, should be enjoy and teach in live situation.
Most memorable moment - with Maestro Juan Tamariz & Consuelo Lorgia in FISM Busan 2018.

I fully agree, however real-life logistics don't always lend themselves to that.

Omg, just ran across this thread, and so happy to see this happens to others!
But first I laughed. It's definitely not an issue of content or bad teaching...

That's so funny! I thought I was the only one. I'm on magicians youtube pages or vimeo watching others preform before on my phone before I fall asleep. Smile
