maverick was just asking a question, I thought everyone was trying to help one another! I second it maverick, I would love to see Kenner on tape. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, if someone wants to share then great, if not that's fine too!

Last I heard, neither Chris Kenner nor Homer Liwag have put their work onto video for sale/distribution.
Such video as exists is treated like the Kaps footage and not openly discussed often. Perhaps, like Fred Kaps, these guys may one day wish to make some nice films to record the performances and leave a record of their work. Jonathan

Chris Kenner was video taped at a convention in the 80's, along with others and the video was given to the attendees. However, like Jonathan stated getting someone to part with it will be tough.

So your "point" is that you have it and aren't willing to share? If so, why rub it in? Or were you attempting some other cryptic statement?

I don't know if there are any clips of Chris Kenner doing magic, but I know there are clips of his magic. Vinny Marini (vinsmagic here on the Café) has a great video of "Missing Link" on the magic video depot. Here is a link.

I think what doug meant was, it just wouldn't be right to share these clips, just like it wouldn't be right to share magic videos? I have a video with some footage of Kenner, but I'm not sure if it is him or not, since I never really knew what he looks like, I did get it from a credible source.

My point was that I have it, but am not willing to part with it. These are videos that have only been seen by very few people, and people like Kenner don't neccesarily want all their ideas floating around. If he did, he would market a video himself and capitalize on the situation. Hope this answers any concerns, and I apologize for being so vague and cryptic before.

Then Doug, stating that you have such videos is just showing off.
If you are looking for Chris Kenner material you have: The right stuff (1985) - lecture notes (1986) - The Magic Man examiner (4 issues) - WorldTour lecture notes (1991) - Out of control (1992). |

Hi,
I don't think that Doug McKenzie stating that he has footage of Kenner in no way is showing off. Yes, there is footage of Kenner floating around here and there, but thankfully, the few who have it keep it to themselves. The thing is, when too many people see too much of one thing, they start to capitalize over it or change their entire style to match that of someone elses or completely sell the idea out. Chris Kenners fingers are not all that different (Except for the way he handles coins, WOW!!!) It's his mind that works different. I have only met him once, and we did talk for a few hours, and all I can say about that was WOW! His entire outlook on magic in general is just unbelievable. He is very gifted, the way his mind works is what impresses me most about him, he is just so creative, and a great guy in general, he is nice and funy. The reason he first got that job with Copperfield is because of his creativity, look at him now, he is Copperfields manager! That is quite an accomplishment. Chris is a very cool guy. While I wish people would follow his example of his generosity (he is a really kind and generous man, always giving and never really asking for much in return) however I don't think your seeing footage of him would make you a better magician. He is himself, if you are yourself and use your own creativity then what is the reason for wanting to see him? He has a book out, if you read that it basically sums up his style for the type of close up magic he does (although it doesn't really discuss too much of his parlor effects.) He has so much new stuff out he could write 5 huge books and they would all have amazing magic in it, but think about it for a second, there is a reason he has not written 5 other books, and there is a reason the few who have footage of him are keeping it to themselves. I agree, magic should be a giving community, but we all need a few little secrets here and there, it keeps lots of the excitement going. Although if you ever get a chance to see Chris, do sneak a peak at what he is doing, it will fool you badly! He is "DA MAN" Sincerely, Doug. |

Thanks ...
One little thing... he is actually the executive produce of the show... not his manager. Doug |

What I was saying is that even if you have footage of him you don't have to say it. That is normal if you want to keep them for you, but then keep them completely.
Doug I don't understand why you are saying: "if you are yourself and use your own creativity then what is the reason for wanting to see him?" I mean, the reason is quite obvious. You just have to read the rest of your post saying that Kenner is one of a kind I think that we won't have the chance to see new books, he is a busy guy. Working for DC is a FULL time job... |

Hey guys,
one little thing. Although Chris Kenner is working full time for Copperfield, he would still have enough time to write a book. Currently he is making a DVD of Dan and Dave Buck. He is doing all the editing himself, and he has been progressing very quickly. Also, if I am not mistaken, I believe Chris wrote 'Out of Control' when he was working full time for Copperfield, and he told me it only took him a month to write... He is obviously extremely busy working for DC, however, he still does find time for other really important stuff...like practicing! Like I said before, he is DA MAN! Doug. |

I'd like to see some video of Kenner too, but I guess we're all out of luck.
