I suspect this post will give Barry rave reviews. His material looks great. Having never seen him or his stuff, only read about him, I am wondering what people suggest trying from his collection. Super Chicken looks great. What about "What a Box" or Magnet Man or anything else????
Thanks, John |

I had the pleasure of seeing him and his amazing mind at last year's KIDabra. His stuff is 1st rate and even though you don't have to use them his storylines are very well thought out for the effect. I use the "Magic Box" a lot and the "Oyster Story" (little girls love it). I am saving up for his "EZ SEW". If your any good with a zombie then his "Talking/Floating" bottle was a Show Stopper! Yeah, you'll probable find a lot of Barry Mitchell Fans here. Great products at decent prices.
Have a Magical Day, Aragorn the Magician PS. I'm trying to get Ken Scott long-term employment in Asia again. If anyone knows of any openings please let me know. We were close once before but the deal fell through. All of us in HotLanta are tired of having to be compared CONstantly to his Awesome Magnificence, Unbelievable Skill and Boyish Charm (have you noticed his resemblance to Dick Clark?) and the way he DOMINATES our market. So if you want to donate to the: Send Ken Scott to Asis Fund (why??, we don't know, just seems like a good thing to do!) Care of: Dick Dastardly & Mugsey
aka: I used to be BOB (It's Cellini's fault)

I use Super Chicken, Mother Of All Diamonds, Super Slueth, Reading Is Magic, Attack Of The Bookworms and many many more. I have yet to but anything from Barry that I don't like....it's all gold.

You can't go wrong with Barry. Whether you're looking for a complete scripted routine start to finish including recorded sound effects or something to blend into your own style and story line, Barry's creativity and quality are right up there with Axtell and Wolf. If you want to jumpstart your own creativity and marketing, you can't do better than his book, DVD and CD series.
I have his Super Chicken, World's Fastest Egg Trick, Inspector Iwannaknow Character Show, Mother of all Diamonds, Udder Table, Footprints, Spell It, Story of Deadeye Duck, Simon Star's Vacation Spot, Reading is Magic, Magnet Man, Magic Mooves Me, 10 Commandments of Selling Your Program, Building a Better Mousetrap, ABCs of Children's Magic and Magic of Creative Thinking. Not a bit of junk or fluff in the lot. Just a hint...next year's Summer Reading library theme is "Get a Clue." Libraries will be looking for detective themed shows. Super Sleuth and Inspector Iwannaknow fits that bill perfectly!! The only negative thing I can say about Barry is that whenever I'm near him I feel deep within as though I'm just not working hard enough at creating new and exciting ideas for my own shows! Er...Did I say negative...? :) Skip

Never criticize someone else until you have walked a mile in their shoes. Then, when you do criticize them, you will be a mile away from them and you will have their shoes.

Geesh, you guys! Thanks alot!! Thanks to this thread I went back to Barry's website and found things I forgot I had been interested in. Another $400.00 out of the ol' budget! I wish the man would go IPO so I could at least get some of my money back in dividends! Man...and I thought Starbucks was expensive!!

All of barry's stuff is great and I use a lot of it in my shows. Super Chicken is hilarious (but I need to shelve it temporarily due to Asian Bird Flu epidemic scare in Hong Kong!). King Midas is a wonderful effect and MOther of all Diamonds is powerful stuff too!
You really need to get his dvd Magic of Creativity to get an idea of his varied range! Lately I've been having great reactions with Boo Cooler (Sponge Ball routine) and CSI Deck (Spectator card location with a topical TV tie-in). Finally, Magnet Man is great - given the revival of super-hero interest with Superman returns! |

I first met Barry Mitchell in Tennessee about 16 years ago.
Come to think of it, that was the last time I met him, too. I have performed his sponge ball effect called "Boo Balls" ever since that time, and it has never failed to get a great reaction from people. It's only too bad that he doesn't produce the props anymore. For that reason I've had to reduce my performances of the piece so I don't use up the dozen or so balls I have remaining. |

Actually he does produce the complete effect- with balls, container box as well as demo dvd. Its called Boo X 2 and available from his website! I bought it there several months ago and I've been doing it ever since! But I didn't know the routine was created so long ago!
