A request:
Could you possibly put all of the different Dream effects (Key in bottle, card in bottle, etc. etc.) in Bold or Italic font so that they're easier to find?
But think about it, if you use a Quarter they audience will know that you didn't just somehow get it through the neck since the quarter is larger. It also adds to the effect that the bottle is sealed and full of liquid.
To me the label being on or off doesn't make a difference, but I don't care for the bottom-of-bottle penetration. I think you could do it through the side, but most of the demo clip was a bottom penetration, and for me that just isn't as visual.
Has anyone heard anything about this CIB? It sounds very good, and is only $12.71 USD on Penguin, and I've been thinking about ordering it, but I haven't heard any reviews yet.
There have been 4 major points in my life that got me into magic:
1. A beginners magic kit when I was 5 or so.
2. The Masked Magician specials on FOX.
3. David Blaine's street specials.
4. Being bored in Florida on summer vacation, and having nothing better to do.
I heard that she Shadow Masters are just a hoax, so that could put a kink in your plans.
But I would go with:
2nd Edition Gaurdians
Black Tigers
and some Vipers.
I agree with Shane, the force was the thing that needed the most improvement, along with the enthusiasm factor.
But I like that trick, it could be marketable with some perfection and all the necesary work that would go into marketing an effect.
One of my favorite spectators is the pastor of the church where my dad works. Everytime I get a new trick, I show it to him, and the stuff just blows his mind, he loves it.
That didn't really have anything to do with the topic, but seemed to fit.
