Wine and Water is a simple bit of chemistry that is probably better to play around with by
yourself than to include in a magic show.
Cake in Hat has good ideas for various props and
a good way to prepare eggs for a show.
Enchanted Cane has some very nice moves, but it uses
the type of T that doesn't have other letters with it. Also, the way Dan Harlan constructed the
umbrella doesn't work smoothly, and you can see that they cut out a key moment during the
performance. I'd try something more like a Star Wars toy.
Handkerchief and Glass is
old-fashioned in the type of stage magic it is, but there are solid ideas behind it. Dan Harlan adds
good spectator interaction to it.
Topsy-Turvy Word is a neat little trick that's initially
baffling but people can be figure it out if you spend too much time on it.
Mysterious Cross
is super easy to do and it can lead into ash on palm.
The last two tricks are minor
variations on tricks previously covered.

Eight great effects. Mr. Harlan continues to improve on what were still wonderful effects out of
Tarbell. Turn water to different liquids. Cake in hat or why pull a rabbit out of a hat when you
can pull out an umbrella and then have it float and disappear. He also has a silk effect, a great
bar effect that should be able to be done at any normally stocked bar. An any object sponge ball
style short effect. But my favorite was with words printed on cards that I will be using in the
presentation style of "100th Monkey" although the principles are miles apart. Thank you sir for more
great routines.

What a neat assortment of tricks! There's a bit of content in this 3+ hour training for a variety of
magic workers. A very classic children's appearing birthday cake, chemistry based drink color
changes, a levitation with notes on lighting, a mirror magic trick, a vanishing glass, and some bar
magic. If you are in to bar magic then this one will have some content that you'll be able to use.
Overall I liked the teacher's presentation style and cadence. He spent time explaining the details
and why he made some artistic choices. Even the birthday trick, which is so vintage it could be
cringe, he put his best effort in to and gave insider tips on. The notes, where applicable, on
safety with chemicals were a good update to the original text too.
