DVD en anglais.
DVD présentant des effets de "magie de coktails" (debout, sans table), par
deux brillants magiciens anglais.
Almost 90 minutes long this DVD is now available in Region 0 format, suitable
for playing on DVD players, PCs and Macs worldwide.
Back in the last century, before he quit performing to become the UK's leading
television magic producer and consultant, Anthony Owen was a professional close-up
magician. On this DVD (first released on video in 1998) you'll get to spy on
Anthony Owen and his colleague Paul Andrews as they perform walkaround ('street
magic' style) close-up magic at a cocktail party in a hotel in London's west-end.
And after the party you get to listen in on their revealing chat over coffee
as they share the real secrets of the business of performing walkaround ('street
magic' style) close-up magic at receptions, cocktail parties, corporate launches
and events. You'll get to learn the pitfalls, the advantages, the disadvantages
and the tips to master this profitable market.
Plus you'll learn the secrets of a bunch of unique original material developed
by Anthony and Paul for their professional performance repertoire.

SOBW:
Anthony's acclaimed Oil and Water routine in which red and black cards are
repeatedly mixed and magically separate. Finally the magic happens even with
the cards face-up! This routine was the basis of the sequence performed by Alistair
Cook (Monkey Boy) on Monkey Magic series one and published in Anthony's book
Some Tricks. It was one of the hits of Anthony's acclaimed lecture at
the International Magic convention in November 2007.
- Derren
Brown said : "Anthony's Oil and Water is the cleanest you'll
ever see."
- Aldo
Colombini said : "I love Oil and Water routines. Anthony
showed his routine to me and I can honestly say that it is direct to the point,
magical and entertaining. Few Oil and Water routines can live on that!"
- Daryl
said : "Looks terrific - like real magic!"
- David
Berglas said : "The best Oil and Water routine I've ever
seen."
- Marc
De Souza said : "One of the cleanest, most magical looking handlings
for the classic effect I've seen. An entertaining presentation, with an instant
reset and no difficult sleights."
- Nicholas Einhorn - who performed it in his routine at The Magic Circle
Centenary Close-up Show - said : "Anthony's oil and water routine is one
of the fairest looking, most baffling versions I have ever seen or used. It
consistantly fools and enthralls all who see it whilst building theatrically
at every phase. The final revelation is so amazing people go WILD. Frankly
I'd prefer it if Anthony kept this one quiet!"
Brainwash:
A version of the classic Dai Vernon Brainwave Deck effect which can be performed
with a borrowed regular deck. A spectator freely names any card they wish and
you reveal that you knew in advance which card they would name and – as additional
evidence you even have a duplicate of the freely named card in the zippered
compartment of a wallet which an audience member was holding onto before the
card was even named! No restricted choice – no stooges - they can name any card
- and absolutely no palming or sleights.
Pencil through
Coin: A pencil is penetrated through a borrowed initialed coin. Anthony's
great handling enables the spectator to actually remove their marked coin from
the pencil themselves! Malcolm Yaffe wrote in Abracadabra magazine, The
World's Only Magical weekly: "The best handling for the Pencil through Coin
I've come across."
Birthday
Deck: A pack of cards with dates and months on the faces with
which you can predict any one of the 365 days of the year - it could be a spectator's
birthday, anniversary or anything - and then cause all the other cards in the
pack to turn completely blank! Nick Menday wrote in Abracadabra magazine
that this routine was: "a stunning effect...simple, direct and easy to perform".
Plus: Life
is Sweet - an instantly reset routine in which you take your audience
back in time just by using items which can be found in any restaurant or party
setting. Palmprint - you prove that the future really is in a spectator's
palm with this simple strong routine. Coin Across Body - a vanished coin
magically appears in a spectator's hand - twice! Match of the Day - a
lit match vanishes from your hand and appears in a spectator's tightly closed
fist.
Leading corporate magician, David
Hawkins, wrote: "Overall, a fantastic video and the first to address
this type of performing. In terms of production values sound and vision are
first class. I can sum up in two words - BUY IT!"
Running Time : approximately 1h25.
