What can I say about John that you don't already know? John is one of the funniest entertainers I have ever seen! His comedy is funny and his magic is strong. What more could you possibly want from a performer?

Excellent purchase and great value for money. Misses one star on account of poor sound mixing during
an interview which incidentally provides some seriously important guidelines regarding the
development of your own stage/performance persona.
Routines here for everybody from the work-hardened professional to the emerging entertainer. Buy a copy you will not regret the investment....alternatively you may regret not taking the advantage presented in this offering. Did this review help you?

Love some of the effects, it was a bonus due to the fact I primarily ordered it for the explanation
for Collard and his presentation. I'd recomend this one for the mentalism effects included in it.

I wasn't too familiar with John Archer before picking up this DVD set so I wasn't sure how this was
going to be. However, this DVD set is awesome! John is an extremely entertaining and hilarious
performer and his material is very strong. I haven't seen too many mentalists pull of comedy very
well, but John is a definite exception to this. Some of my favorite routines on this DVD set
include:
1. Tossed out Deck John's performance of the tossed out deck is excellent. Although I already knew the working of the Tossed out Deck, what I really liked about this routine was that John explains an EXCELLENT way to switch out a deck. This is by far the most devious deck switch I have ever seen. There is no need to go digging into your pockets to switch decks or do anything suspicious. In this switch, you are essentially switching decks right in front of the audience, and they have absolutely NO clue! For me, this was worth the entire price of the DVD. 2. Magic Square John also teaches how to do a magic square. What make's John's routine better than others is because he has designed it so that there are no random large numbers in the square. In many other routines, there are sometimes very large numbers present relative to the other numbers, but John's version completely eliminates this possibility. This is a fantastic set of DVDs. You will not be disappointed if you pick this set up! Did this review help you?

A few years ago I decided to branch out the type of venues I perform at. I was, previously, strictly
close up strolling. I wanted to break into the stand up scene. A friend of mine, Jim Spinnato, said
that although there are a lot of mentalists, there aren't too many comedy mentalists. He suggested I
build a comedy mentalism routine.
He then turned me on to John Archer's DVD as an example of a killer comedy mentalism act. It's true. John Archer is an absolute showman, an incredible entertainer, and extremely funny. His act completely inspired me. In fact his Komedy Killer is now in my stand up act. There is so much to be learned from this two DVD set (performance on one disk, exp on the other). Even if you are a close up magician, there are a couple of great close up effects as well. He has an incredibly funny torn and restored card effect along with a do as I do close up card effect. Both are excellent. His take on the Koran Medallion is brilliant. Many of the effects on here are modifications that fit John's personality. That's one of the big lessons from this set that you can learn. Take an effect and make it your own. Man if John doesn't do that, then nobody does! The guy is clearly a thinker and a definite pro. Seriously, if you are not laughing your butt off while watching this, then you're dead. Secondly, if you don't learn something from this DVD that justifies paying double the retail price, then you watched a different DVD than I did. I've made enough money performing Komedy Killer to pay for a whole year's worth of DVD purchases and then some. There are also some excellent interview pieces and discussions about how he developed some of the routines, how he got gigs, how he evolved as a performer, etc. This DVD is bar far the best DVD of the four being reviewed this month. Total GEM! Did this review help you?

John is A1, I love his style and his performance, my only complaint is the DVD quality. This is not
HD and John ......you need to ditch those 2 fools who interviewed you at the end, this is your show
not theirs
