Hey world, hows it going? Magizzy here with a new vid, well its old but I haven't posted it on my blog or on the magic forums. It's another coin vanish (Don't worry I'll stop with these vanishes soon enough), and its called Revolution. This effect was created by Kevin Parker who did a fantastic job with it by the way. Since teaming up with Ellusionist, Parkers effect has really been one of the most wanted coin vanishes to date. Here's a clip of me performing this effect, Hope you guys and enjoy it and expect a review on this in a few days. Thanks for stopping by, Take Care. Peace. - Magizzy
Just filling you guys in on the updates going on in the site, and if you have any suggestions and would like to share em let just leave a comment. I'm trying to get music on here, and I'm not sure if I'll put like a automatic background song or a music player in which you can choose what to play. Either way its giving me a chance to review some html that I have forgotten from way back when! I think I might have to change the view of the site completely as in put different sections for different stuff. Lots of learning ahead, everyday new stuff! Stay tuned peeps!! Take Care. Peace. - Magizzy
Hey guys hows it going? I just found some funny articles online and thought I'd share em with you. Wow...what your going to read won't shock you but will make you question the kind of brains that exist in this world. Lets start with the story about two men who stole a secret formula. Not from KFC but from actually baby formula. You read that correctly, BABY FORMULA. These intelligent gentlemen planned on selling this formula and using the cash to buy good ole drugs, wait there not prescription drugs. Seriously, people have stooped so low as to sell things associated with life, love and happiness such as baby items? Now the next time you baby formula for your kid, ask yourself where the money is going to...These two smarties ended up getting a $500+ fine. Speaking of smarties, you know the candy smarties? Its like little cylindrical packet of about 10 "pill" sized sweet candies. Guess what? A Middle School in Colorado is full of little buggers who instead of snorting this stuff in, blow it out of their noses. The point of this is to basically either compare it to other drugs, freak out your elders, or you're just stupid. The article goes on to say that this doesn't seem to be harmful but could cause maggots to form in the nostril or lung area. This school has had previous reports of this stuff with mentos and other shit. Clearly the education system in Colorado is suffering...Hope you enjoyed these stories, I'm gonna get me some smarties now...Take Care. Peace. -Magizzy Secret Formula Smarties Attack
Finally the long overdue review for the effect Gone created by Ryan Lowe. Overall I think this effect is strong considering it is a vanish, and with proper practice can look like real witchcraft! With some thought, I realized that this effect is practical because you can borrow a coin from the spectators. If you haven't seen the video of me doing the effect its HERE, and for those too lazy to click I embedded the actual DVD trailer :
On to the review:
Gone by Ryan Lowe
Effect: Obtain a coin, from your own collection or from a spectators and proceed to vanish it with a simple wave of the hand. This effect has been taught in detail by creator Ryan Lowe, with tips as well as other handling options.
First Thoughts: Before buying this effect, I was thinking of really elaborate methods to vanish the coin. I thought this was too good to be true, and completely dumbfounded when both sides of the hand were shown in the trailer. How could something just vanish into the air with a simple wave of the hand, and then you clearly show both sides of your hand with all fingers extended? Awesomeness.
DVD and Teaching: I thought the DVD quality was great and on par with those of Ellusionist, well not that on par but close. I thought Lowe explained the information well and taught clearly enough for me to understand. The DVD seemed short for me, as I wish he would have gotten more in detail but with the information provided you won't be clueless at all. You are also taught several variations of the trick with the same core principles as you move along. Being able to vanish from the side, the front, with hands far apart as you do a semi dance move like in the trailer.
Method: The method to this effect is absolutely gutsy in my opinion and that's what me me love it. For me at least, this method was a little out of the box because I never thought I could used certain tools in this manner. The gimmick, which you have to make yourself, will last you anywhere from 30-40 performances if handled with care or even longer. I won't go into detail about how easy the gimmicks are to find or all that extra bullshit, that people use to find out how the effect is done.
Final Thoughts: This effect is one that you can use as an opener and is definitely a nice way to get spectators "hooked." I learned from the method and teaching that you need to rethink how everything works. Meaning that whatever you accomplish with a certain object can be used to accomplish something different. I have looked through many things at home and tried to find different uses for them, and I have found two or three things that I think will help me create new effects. I hope you guys found this review helpful and thanks for stopping by. Take Care. Peace. - Magizzy
