Yep - I have mentioned the rather large wrist band he is wearing in a previous post. Could be wrong of course - pure speculation on my part. However, he is wearing it in ALL of the demo's shown on the trailer....

That wrist sees a lot of action on a daily basis. I'm guessing it's some sort of orthopaedic support...

Interesting effect. Can probably play well after Dobson's "Knife Trough Coat" routine.

Actually, your mistaken. Knife Through Coat is a Jeff McBride routine.

I wonder if the mods can take a look through this thread and delete any and all references to the Penn/Petty/Dobson/McBride incident.
As far as I recall we're no longer supposed to be posting about it on the Café and these are clearly indirect posts about the matter. I say this as...
1) that's not respecting Steve Brooks' wishes and
2) some people may actually want to discuss this product and review it etc.
By all means people, say you don't want to buy it if it's not for you, that's all part of the discussion, but can we stop with the jibes, like Mr Brooks said this is only going to go away if we stop discussing it (or words to that effect...)

They can do that, of course -- but the problem's been reported and no action's been taken.
It's a shame. It reminds of standing in a junior high-school hallway while an unpopular kid walks past -- some kids have to show how cool they are by making childish remarks and giggling behind their hands.

Okay - I'll quit - but its the nature of the beast I'm afraid. Biggest hoo-hah we've had for ages! Whenever Penn's name crops up - it will undoubtedly stir up some memories!
But you're right! It shouldn't be for here.

For crying out loud, Lighten up.
We don't all have to be serious, sometimes a little levity to a conversation is welcoming and entertaining to read. Were not talking about the actual problem, were making jokes and having fun.
If you don't want to read them, then don't. But don't start complaining just to ruin other people's fun.
On that note...
David likes to take something long and hard and make it bend upwards, with a little bit of wrist action. Inuendo jokes write themselves into the act!

I take it all back. The humor here is mature and sophisticated.

They say the Penn is mighter than the sword.
I think this trick is evidence to that fact, in every sense of the word.

Intrigued by the magic with knives? Well, some of you might be interested in THIS …
The (most) interesting part starts approx at 2:15… Well, the first 2 minutes also give food for thought…
Squeak!

Yes, yes, yes! Wow - now there's an entertaining routine! That just happens to have a bit of a magic trick as a bonus. Awesome. Thanks for posting.

I agree - Magicians are not allowed to have any fun or indulge in any childish humour that lets you escape from the hum-drum of domesicity and evry day life for a split second or two, we can only do that when we are performing for others. OK - lets all be very serious, pompous and boring people.

AND.. the ventriloquism was actually GOOD! Like he had practiced it. Dobson didn't even grab his microphone every time he used the vent voices.
Some people could learn something from that.
Just wonderful.

I totaly agree.
I think that will come very soon.
What you now see is a normal phenomenon.
After such events there seem to be the need for a sort of de-briefing. It has it use in a psychological way.
That's what you see here. Don't force it to go away. It will end in a natural way.

Famine in Africia, children dying
Syria bombing its innocent subjects with people getting killed everyday
Huge world wide ressesion
Poverty
Could go on but this stuff matters...
Want to spend all day on line writing, I have a suggestion( I'm serous) join amnesty international and put your angry energy into writing emails to oppressive governments and help save some lives rather than use all your energy in bashing people on here.
Just a thought

I think you're half right. I think this thread will die out, if it's not deleted outright, thanks to people who would rather make snide remarks about the effect's creator than talk about the effect. But as soon as Penn or Petty releases another effect and it gets a thread here, it's going to start up again. The days of actually being able to discuss an effect by either of these guys are probably over, because some people can't let go.
