I don't know how practical it would be but there are a few ideas I can think of for some of them...
hes a very famous magician but most of his tricks are gimmicked but he present them in a very good way .
Why would you NOT use stooges when you have the oppurtunity AND it would enhance the effect? Only magicians have any idea that stooges are in play, and if in your dogmatic attempt to avoid stooging, you performed a weaker effect than you could have for television, then I say shame on you.
It's the effect that matters in the end, and remember- TV magicians perform for the Viewing Audience, not for the studio audience- it's what WE as the viewers experience that's important. As long as the stooging and use of camera cuts is subtle, the laypeople at home will experience a stronger effect and congratulations to the magician.
If stooging is the only way you feel enhances an effect on or off television than maybe your performance skills aren't up to par. I feel stooging and camera tricks don't do anything for magic but water it down. To enhance an effect we have great performance and ability to draw our spectators in to the magic that we are doing so we don't leave them just watching something we can do. Magic is for entertainment and wonder and when you water it down for show it loses its impact.
He did use the camera to clean up his Snap Change. ...I think.There's no camera tricks at all. I know exactly how he's doing it, and he flashed the vanishing envelope. However I also know what I'm looking for too so I may be at an advantage.
I'm not going to expose his method, that would be wrong. But I will say there's a reason for why he's wearing that jacket, and it's not for style.
Watch it again.
This guy is VERY good. I'll give him props on skill. This is a very nice street routine.
