What LIVE DVDs have inspired your acts?

I notice sometimes it's good to watch an act to see how one should flow and how effects should transition. Not everyone can just go and watch a magic show depending on where they live.

Etienne Pradier
David Williamson (live lectures, Magic farm)
Lots of RSVP stuff
Jeff Hobson (kills an audience of 200+ with hopping halves)
Busking DVDs (although I do not like the aggressive style of some)

I would be very clear in saying the acts should not be copied or cloned, but think that great performers with sometimes very different styles can be very educational.

Not strictly a live DVD but the performance sections of Tommy Wonder's L&L DVD set are inspirational. Also Tom Mullica's An Evening at the Tomfoolery is a lesson in how to entertain an audience. I think Doc Eason's L&L DVDs also deserve a mention. Wouldn't argue with the David Williamson recommendation above either. The performance sections on Michael Vincent's DVDs are great too. That's enough for now I think.

Stevens Greater Magic Videos now on dvd have one called "Sensational Magic Acts"..I think that's the title. You want inspiration, watch Jay Marshall or Shimada or Paul Daniels and a few more.

Watch the videos of the Derren Brown stage performances. Invaluable.

I agree with landmark, you can lear a lot fromm watching the Derren Brown DVDs.

Two of my first DVDs were
Born to Perform - Oz Pearlman
Front Row Sankey - Jay Sankey

They both excited me to see real audience/people on the streets and in a restaurant.

I truly enjoy seeing "live" dvds.

Actually, I would love to see a "live" on the streets magician online. As in truly "live" streaming....

Watching the casualness of Richard Osterlind has been a real treat. Other great live performances not mentioned already have been Greg Wilson,(Card Stunts and On the Spot are great), James Brown, Gary Jones, Lee Smith and most of the RSVP talent list.
