Dan and Dave versus Jay Sankey
For over a year ago, I was a huge Jay Sankey fan. I collected a large number of his dvds. As soon as the dvd was on the market, i would try my best to get my hands on them. My magic composed purely of his material.Purely...
I discovered that the more I do his material,my friends sooner or later found out how i do it. Its not that I flash, its just that they soon become more attentive to my hand positions,etc. In other words, my magic became really shark-able.
Then just recently, I got my hands on the trilogy. Well, yeah at first i thought its another old school magic material that i can easily shark(like most magic I see in youtube) But then as I watched the performance of the magic,most especially in the tricks and the everything else disc, i was blown away.
New flourishes, sleights and routines.I could not help wonder why jay(being a 40 year experienced magician) couldn't have been introduced to the methods in dan and dave's vids.
Basically, in the videos, I tried to shark the moves and the magic, but boy there were too much that i couldn't even figure out the method not unless i saw the tutorials. Lets face it, the twins are just 12 years in experience but they pushed my expectations to card magic to a whole new level.
On the plus side for Jay,the twins lack the decades of knowledge he had. (obviously)When I perform magic wit DnD Material, I could not help but still incorporate principles by Jay
To sum it up,both groups had helped me in many ways. I know no magic is better,but think about this...Some magic are shark-proof, not only to magicians but most especially to lay people.
Jay had been a great teacher,DnD had provided more than i needed.
To you guys, who do you think is better in term of shark-proffness,and materials in the dvd. I'llbe glad to hear from you all.
NOTE:
SHARKING=figuring out the method of a certain effect by only watching the performance.
CARD SHARK=Sharks specifically expert in card magic sharking.
