I normally do not join the, "The me Too group," but I have had a set of GA cups for awhile and gazzo's tapes and have been working on a new street act for awhile now, so I just ordered Gazzo's books. I will of course post a reveiw as well.

Both the "Gazzo Uncensored" and "Gazzo on the Cups and Balls" are out of production, and will not be re-issued. The School for Scoundrels has no plans to redo them as DVD's or to release them in any form in the future. So if you find a copy left on any of the dealer's shelves, you should grab them.
Gazzo wants to put out his own productions, and we do not want to stand in his way, or to compete with him. We were very proud and happy to have released these two videos, and hope that Gazzo will have great success with whatever products he comes out with in the future. |

Re the C&B however, I was informed by "Elmwoodmagic",: "We have been told that it is currently being re-done for DVD, although we don't have a date for the release yet." Maybe Gazzo himself does plan to release it on DVD, I don't know. IMHO, it's worth to get redone/converted to DVD, both of these videos.

No, the dvd that Gazzo will be releasing in the future is a new production that was shot during his British lecture tour this summer.

I believe I can get 16 more of the Uncensored videos if anyone wants one. That's it. After that, they're gone as per Whit.
Werner, your video will go out Int'l Priority tomorrow morning at the latest. Frank

Awhile back, I ordered Gazzo's books (I have not read his cup and ball book yet). I read the art of krowd keeping. A light read, with good information in it.
So, what do you get? The Art of Krowd keeping is a small pamplet, not really a book, running 31 pages. The topics covered are: Why the street? What is a busker? A place to be bad How do I get started Gazzo's show the circle or the doorway What tricks should I do? Routining How do I pick a spot? When should The curtain rise? Stopping the first five The main show The grand Finale Give your hat lines Common pit falls Brother can you spare a line? E=mc^2 The red beaked sidewalk squabbler Dare to be Bad! Have Fun! Gazzo's performance pointers Tone of voice Eye Contact Stance What are yousmilling about? Get them to like you immediately Picking the right volunteer Educating the crowd When peole leave The zen of the crowd Summping up Postscript Glossary of terms. Anyone who has seen Gazzo on uncensored and Cellini on street performing, will get very little out of this pamphlet. This is not to say, there is no vaule in this pamphlet! After reading it, I watch Gazzo uncensored and had a much better understanding of how Gazzo's performs and gave me much to think about. The pamphlet is an easy read, there is no fluff in it--which I like, but some topics where not fully developed, such as in Brother Can you spare a line, rather then give you a few examples, he uses this to plug his good Read between the lines--but he does point out you why you need a line for everything and this pamphlet is not him selling you his show/lines, so I do not feel cheated, but would have liked to see a few examples. Another example would be the section on routinging, which he devotes (i believe) 19 lines too, I would like to have seen that devolped more completely ie, a good rountine example and a bad rountine example. Each topic is covered and Gazzo's points are made. I think those that buy this will find a good read and some nice pictures of Gazzo's in his younger days. I can recommand this book, but would have perferred Gazzo's book of lines and this one. combined into one book, but that is me. Just one man's thoughts |

Mr. T,
Thanks for your honest feedback. And thanks for listing all the topics covered in the book. That's quite a list. (By the way, the book is actually about 4 or 5 pages longer; we didn't start counting pages till after the foreword and introduction.) May I ask, are you working on the street now or planning to in the future? You mentioned that you're working on a new street act; I didn't know if that meant you were already a street performer or just getting into it. Best regards, Jim

I did not count the forward or the intro, for the same reason, most do not number them, as they add little to the content of a book.
I enjoyed the book and tried to proved an honest review of it. I am sure there are those who may disagree with my thoughts. Yes, I have worked the streets, as a performer, it is how I put myself though school. I have not worked the streets in a few years, as my main stay is PSI home parties. As you noted, I am working on a new street act, as I would like to go out next summer, if I can come up with something workable. |

Forwords are for me often a very important of any book..of course it depends..but one shouldn't skip reading them..

Sometimes a key piece of information is in the foreword of a book. If you have Sheherazade, be sure to read the foreword. Yes, I have Sheherazade and you are correct Bill, "sometimes," but not always. So, to set the record straight: Gazzo's book, " The art of keeping a krowd, runs a little over 31 pages, I stand corrected." However this does not change my feelings on the book and after reading Gazzo book on the cup and ball, I would have passed on the art of keeping a krowd, as the cup and ball has more complete information on busking. A review to follow. |

I enjoyed every single minute of reading *The Art of Krowd Keeping*, as I f.ex. enjoyed the first part (almost half of the book) of Cellinis *The Royal Touch*.. Give me the life story of any well known/experienced magician/performer, let me hear his stories re what happend to him during his lifetime..I read it.. But, that's how different people are... You se, I didn't/don't *need* any of the information from the mentioned Gazzo book, nevertheless I bought it and I enjoyed it tremendously..

I agree with you, but that is not what the art of keep the krowd is billed as. And the cup and ball books, has more of both kinds of background. |
