KOZAK!
I know this isn't a product, but I wanted to write a review for his show anyway, and I thought this was a good place to put it.
Where? Atlantic City: Tropicana Hotel & Casino
Before Kozak took the stage, a video played of other magicians(one was Mac King) and comedians talking about him for an introduction. The video was pretty funny and gave an understanding on what kind of guy you'd expect him to be.
He then comes out and begins with his manipulation act, with scarfs, candles, balls(teehee), fire, cigarettes, pipes, etc. It was fast paced with loud music, which worked very well because it flowed nicely and it got the audience pumped up.
He flashed a few times, but nothing too bad.
What was great about his show was that he had effects for Everybody.
Children, teens, and adults.
He made jokes that went over the kids heads and hit the adults hard.
He didn't have to tell us that he's been working at the Tropicana for over 5 years for me to know that he has a lot of experience under his belt. You could tell he knows what he's doing.
After that, the show picked up a lot. A prediction trick that was just crazy. He gave an envelope to a girl and had called on different people in the audience to name single digits. He had someone write them down and the total added up to a 5 digit predicted number that was inside the envelope. That was my favorite effect. Well, that and the needle swallowing of course.
Honestly, I knew how to do a lot of the stuff he performed, but I still enjoyed the show on how he made each effect fit in his show to work for him.
At the end, he said to come back because no 2 of his shows were the same. I'm not sure how true that is, but I'll definitely go back to see him perform next time I'm in AC. He was selling his DVD for half the price you would buy it for at a store.
One last thing he said was to shake his hand before you left and don't pretend you don't know him. I thought that was funny and a good idea as well. That should help keep people coming back to see him perform. Unfortunately the people I was with kinda rushed out of there and I didn't get a chance to personally meet him.
I missed my chance, but what can you do.
His show was about an hour and 30 minutes long. So many tricks, that I won't name every one he did. You'll just have to go and see for yourselves.
Anyway, I suggest anyone heading down to AC to catch his show. He performs 7 days a week, so NO EXCUSES!
You won't regret it.
