Some hot news fresh off of the press at Bob Kohler Magic.
Two things...
First, we're in the final stages of releasing one of the best routines I've ever seen, Scott Alexander's "The Blades".
I'll be posting more information over the next few weeks as this product is released. I can guarantee that
as usual we're on the cutting edge (pun intended).
Second, you can find out more about "The Blades" and the latest at Bob Kohler Magic on our new Blog.
Here's the link: https://bobkohlermagic.wordpress.com/
The Blog also contains an RSS Feed if you'd like to get the news instantly.

The hype begins again!
Bob, any chance of a straight description of the effect in the meantime?

Has this objection been overcome with "The Blades" ?

Andi and Dave:
The routine hasn't bee released yet. You've surely got itchy trigger fingers to be taking pot shots at this early date!
;-)
Maybe you could give things a chance to unfold a little more?

I think if someone went to a website, read their blog and then posted here that they haven't given enough details, that would be jumping the gun.
But when a dealer comes to the Café to beat the drums about their upcoming product, then it's fair game to talk about it/make requests/cheer about it/criticize it, etc.

If Scott Alexander created this, it's probably a great piece of magic! It seems everything Scott touches turns to gold....or in this case, is it rusty razor blades?

Let me be the first to say that this is priced too low. I would actually prefer that this item be priced higher to keep it out of the mere curious and keep it to myself.

Scott Alexander is in fact Scott Grocki's stage name.
Sorry, I still have to hold back on releasing the details about "The Blades". The good news however is
once this clears legal I can reveal what's coming. Timeline: about one week.

45 second reset. I LOVE Steve Spill's needle routine, but for the ability to reset in 45 seconds, I may have to use the razorblades. I've always felt like the needles made more sense with the thread, but wow..45 second reset sounds GREAT to me.

When The Blades is released you'll discover that it's very different from Steve Spill's phenomenal routine "Confessions Of A Needle Swallower". Both are comedy presentations but they are quite different in style and presentation.
The Blades has been a major part of Scott Alexander's act for 15 years. He closes many shows with the routine, in fact it was his closer for a couple of years when he worked at Caesar's Magical Empire in the Pagoda Room. Seven shows per night with not much time to reset for the next group. The virtually instant reset made it possible.
He still uses it all of the time on both his cruise ship performances and corporate shows. It's really funny but at the same time dramatic.
More later...

Dude, that doesn't look anything like Scott Alexander. Scott is younger, marginally better looking, and much, much easier to understand.
ps: We're waiting, Bob. I'm really looking forward to this one.

I'm a little confused, though - is Otto Wessley's routine the very same as Scott Alexander's "The Blades"?
No doubt, in Otto's routine, there are more blades than I've ever seen before.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing Potty. Is this routine the same as Otto's?

I can assure you that Scott Alexander's "The Blades' is totally different than Otto's. I've known Otto for decades. His routine is fantastic. Scott's is totally different in every way, he went down a different path.
"The Blades" hopefully will be up on my web site by Monday...

Thanks Bob, and while we have you here, are you ever going to release your rising card effect?

Good question about the Rising Cards. Still one of my favorite routines.
The answer is I licensed it to Steve Cohen two years ago to perform in his show "Chamber Magic" in NY. For now it's only being done by Steve and me.
I currently have no plans to expand the license.
