Title: Intact by Jesse Feinberg
Medium: Card Trick Arena: close up Available: Any shop, distributed by Murphys Magic Supplies The basic routine is as follows. A card is selected by a spectator and said card vanishes. You pull out a box of Tic Tacs and show it to be empty. A magical movement and in the box is a card which is pulled out and it is the missing card. Card to impossible location is a popular theme and is done with small boxes, plant roots, shoes, you name it. A Tic Tac box is cool because it is an item likely to be carried by someone. I mean think about it, how often do you carry a small wooden box with you? This is an interesting idea but to be honest with you I think we again have an example of a routine being created for the sake of marketing rather than a routine that is used by a magician that is marketed. It isn’t a new idea, the card to Tic Tac box that is, the masking is pretty cool though. This may interest, again, the hallway hit men and street commandos but the more experienced magician likely will not really be interested. I’ve nothing against people going out to make money and I admire Jesse for his ability to put together a nice package and his instructions and photos are good. The problem is for a lot of magicians once they see this they might think twice before going for another product, which may be great, put out by Jesse. This item would, in my opinion, have been better as one of those downloads that people buy on line. Sure there are some out there who will think this is way cool and would rather buy than make their own but I think those will be the minority. Jesse is creative and does understand magic and likely has grandiose dreams about selling magic but you have to give the people their monies worth. Even in the world of magic where people will spend a lot for what others might think is not worth much (you are paying for method or secret in those cases) I think some of Jesse’ material is pushing it. I really don’t think Jesse is trying to pull a fast one he is just marketing the wrong way, again my opinion. But if this sounds like something you would like to do, make a card appear in a tic tac box I say go for it. |
