Hey everyone i just recently got The Session 2007 here is the description
Quote
On the January 20th, 2007, serious sleight-of-hand artists from around the world gathered at "The Session." This DVD provides a grab bag of routines, sleights and moves from various magicians who attended the event. As you would expect, the material is mostly about the moves and there’s a strong tendency towards playing cards with lots of sandwich and transposition effects.
Sessioning
Some of the many contributors who provide and explain routines include: Allan Ackermann, Jon Armstrong, Jamie Badman, James Brown, Luke Dancy, Mike Davis, Dynamo, Andi Gladwin, Rob James, Oli Mealing, Robert Moreland and Tyler Wilson. There
are also excerpts of an interview with Wayne Houchin, the inventor of “Signed Quarter into the Soda Can,” where he discusses creativity, working with Criss Angel, developing effects and more.
The format is mostly here’s a trick or move and how to do it. Because there’s no question and answer format with a second magician, the explanations tend to be brief. However, anyone who is familiar with basic and advanced sleight of hand can follow along and learn some great material Quote
Wayne Does an interview whichis set between clips in the dvd he talks about
Being With Criss
Sinful
Performance Or Creating
Creating
Magic And The Internet
Wanye talks about all these its pretty interesting
Like he talks about the internet and youtube and people not doing a good performance so people think they know the trick but they dont so they might go out on the street and perform it wrong
There are many great performances and they teach you some of the things there are alot of usefull moves and techniques
i personally like
The Inverted Elevator it looks great when performed well
The Routines
Dynamo - The Rubbish Trick ( i didnt really like this trick after i saw it i figured it out easy )
Luke Dancy - Fire Writer ( This alot like daniel madisons i think its blaze effect in two but its a pretty good effect )
Wanye Houchins Interview ( These are all very interesting so these are cool )
Mike Davis - Triple Sandwich ( This is a really amazing 3 stage sandwich routine one of my favourites in the dvd )
Ollie Mealing - The Mealingerang ( This is bassically a boomerang flourish around the back prety cool though )
Myles Nakouzi - Queens Variation ( This is a very cool trick instead of one at a time the first two go at once oh its to long to explain but it is really good )
Wayne Interview
Ollie Meaking - The Switch Trick ( This is an easy simple effect to achive but its a very cool one. )
Mark Oberon - Some Numer Trick ( This Trick isnt taught on the dvd but its a verry good mentalism effect)
John Armstrong - Versatile Sandwich Move ( Well As the title says its not a trick its a move for sandwich effect transpo its a very good move and can be used for a lot of diferent handlings)
Wayne Interview
Rob James - Moving Pip ( When i saw this is was like what!! what happend there then bassicaly what it looks like is a seven of hearts and you move the middle pip with one shake then you rup your hand and it moves back it looks really good when peformed well)
Robert Moreland - The Inverted Elevator ( This is bassically my favourite trick on the dvd its the bassic elevator routine jazzed up with a really good change at the end it looks crazy)
Interview With The Makers of The Session ( This interview is pretty funny they get handed a deck of cards and asked to do some things)
Jon Kerry - Slo- Mo Collectors ( This a really good collector trick one easy favourite to perform)
James Brown - ( bassicaly this is a 5 minute section of him pickpoketing this guy he is very good at it and the guy at the end doesnt know what hit him)
Wayne Interview
Andi Gladwin - Roadtrip ( this is and easy ace production it looks ok and easy to achieve)
Ollie Mealing - The Mealing Pealing ( Basscially o really easy but cool method of bringing a card to the top)
Jamie Badman - The Flexible Shift ( this is a really good shift can be used on almost any occasion really well done)
Noel Quatler - C & R I Pod Cable ( This is a really good cut and restored that Noel Performs on Ollie i Think ollir Sh** himself there for a second)
Wayne Interview
Rob James - 6am Production ( another aces production but a pretty good one)
Wayne Interview
Allan Ackerman - Twisting Maxi Twist ( This based on the old twist efect one at a time a card turns down but he places a jack down on the table then he does the twist a one ace is left 3 jack are in this hand and the selected card is on the table)
Wayne Interview
Rob James - Sub Trunk Cards ( this is a cool sandwich effect where the selected cardsis traped between two red aces.)
