Par Anthony Owen
DVD en anglais.
Cet anglais génial, à la fois ami, producteur et conseiller
de Derren Brown, a des choses à dire ! Profitez de son savoir grâce
à cette magnifique conférence...
Anthony Owen is well-known as a BAFTA and Rose D'or award winning television
magic producer and executive on over one hundred hours of television magic shows
including Derren Brown, The Real Hustle, Dirty Tricks, Magick,
Monkey Magic, The Quick Trick Show and The Secret World of
Magic. However, his first love is as a creator of original, innovative magic
and mentalism and in this DVD of his acclaimed lecture at the 2007 MacMillan
International Magic Convention he shares some of his favourite material from
his best selling books Some Tricks and Some More Tricks.
Natural Lottery
This gasp getting opener to Anthony’s Monday Night Magic act is ideal for any
stage or platform performance. The magician asks six random audience members
to each select a different number between 1 and 49. Amazingly these numbers
prove to be the same six which are on the printed lottery ticket the magician
bought earlier that day! You might not be able to win the lottery, but you can
influence your audience members to pick the numbers you want them to! No pre
show or limited selections.
Number at Card
A unique solution to a legendary card effect. A deck is handed to a spectator
for safe keeping. A playing card and a number between 1 and 52 are both freely
named (no forces, pre show work or limited selections). The deck is opened and
it is revealed that every card has a different number between 1 and 52 printed
on its back —and incredibly the freely selected card bears the freely selected
number!
Holey Sh*t!
An amazing visual vanish of a selected card created by Anthony in collaboration
with Pete Firman. In Anthony's handling the selection visibly vanishes from
between two examined cards each with a hole in its centre. The card appears
face up in the centre of the deck which the spectator is holding. At the end
all of the cards can be examined. This is ideal for commercial walkaround situations
as no table is required.
Big Survivor
Members of the audience are invited onto the stage to participate in a magical
version of a reality television show. The audience decides who is evicted and
yet the performer reveals that he had correctly predicted the winner - twice.
Entertaining, topical, stage filling mentalism.
Ultimate Oil and Water
A performance only of Anthony's acclaimed SOBW Oil and Water routine in which
the cards separate even when mixed face up!
REVIEW BY JOE M. TURNER FROM GENII MAGAZINE JUNE 2009
Review courtesy of Genii Editor, Richard Kaufman.
"This is a recording from a lecture at the MacMillan
Convention. Well produced, particularly for a live recording rather than a controlled
studio outing. Five routines are peformed and four are taught, but performers
seeking quality mentalism and magic will find this a worthwhile disc.
Natural Lottery' is a take-charge opener in which six audience members' randomly
named numbers are found printed on a lottery ticket in the performer's wallet.
Owen's version of the Berglas [Any Card at Any Number] effect is a fooler perfectly
constructed for presentation to large audiences. And 'Big Survivor' is a customizable
reality show in which you predict the eventual winner selected by the audience.
The other explained trick is 'Holey Sh*t', a visual vanish of a card from between
two examined cards with holes in their centers. It requires some special preparation
and props, but they can be purchased separately (as can the props for the performance-only
'Ultimate Oil and Water').
This is powerful, entertaining and versatile professional material priced too
low. The pros will likely be disappointed that I am praising it so highly rather
than letting it sit quietly out sight, but honesty compels me."
