Daniel Garcia and Penguin Go EXTREME in the Utah Snow!
We've been shooting all week with Danny Garcia in Las Vegas.
We're working on two new DVDs that have the potential to be two of the hottest releases of 2006.
The first is Danny's INCREDIBLY VISUAL "Greed" routine in which a dollar bill visually changes into a five, a ten, a twenty, and finally (with a twist that's vintage Daniel Garcia) a 50!
The second is Danny's "Torn Too" routine. This is the BRILLIANT torn and restored card routine Danny uses when he's doing restaurant work/walk-around/strolling magic. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of card magic I've ever seen, and I can't imagine any magician not ABSOLUTELY LOVING the method. When Morgan saw the explanation he said instantly, "The guy's a genius". We agree. In addition to being an incredible magician (he's a full-time pro), Danny is also a worldclass designer and musician/song writer. He's also one of the nicest guys around. Danny is the real work, and we're proud to carry his products and thrilled to have him on the Penguin team.
We wrapped the shoot on Thursday (after some KILLER footage on the Las Vegas Strip) and headed to Brian Head for a couple days of snowboarding before Danny heads back to Houston.
Noblezada, Acar, and I are here with Danny and his girl. There's an INSANE amount of powder on the mountain.... 12 - 18 inches of FRESH POWDER... and the snow is still blasting us. We had to put chains on the tires just to get to the base of the mountain. It's almost TOO MUCH POWDER, but we're loving it.
We're staying at the Cedar Breaks Lodge which is A GREAT PLACE TO STAY if you're ever planning a ski trip to Brian Head.
If the snow lets up tomorrow we're going to get some footage of Danny and Noblezada going VERTICAL and getting the HUGE AIR off of a couple of six foot launchpads in the snowboard park.
Expect Greed to be on pre order by May 1st and in stock by June 1st. Expect Torn Too a month later.
