This focuses a lot on the trade show business, just like they explain in the promo.
Seth has
some strong card magic and I really enjoy the fast pace which he performs and somehow still doesn't
feel rushed.
There was one thing that Penguin has done a few times now which really annoys
me. In the performance they do one effect and get to the explanation and say that they do not have
the permission to share the effect and give an alternative or leave it out all together (this one
was an alternative). Just use the alternative in the show or leave it out of the show! These shows
are specifically for Penguin, they know explanations are coming up.
But either way, Seth
was great. Signed card to pocket and signed card to box were great. Some slightly difficult palming
which my Trump sized hands will not be able to do, but I quickly found an alternative.
Hi Daniel,\r\n\r\nThanks for your very kind review of my Trade Show Act. \r\n\r\nI understand your frustration with seeing an item in a show and then have it not be explained. It was a creative decision on my part. I had one shot in getting this show right and I wanted to put my best foot forward in my show presentation and do the tricks that I\'ve done literally tens of thousands of times. \r\n\r\nJon Allen\'s Destination Box is something I\'ve done for the past ten years. It is a marketed item that costs around $250.00USD. It is not available to purchase at the moment. Jon was kind enough to allow me to perform this effect as part of my \'Act\' but he asked me not to reveal the workings in full. The substitute I chose to explain with the Altoids tin is an identical effect and almost identical in method and in structure and something that I\'ve used in emergency situations (part of my lost luggage act). 90% of the trick is exactly the same as the Destination Box. It wouldn\'t have been fair to Jon if I explained his trick in full and it wouldn\'t have been fair to the viewers of this \'Act\' to do something that really isn\'t part of my show. I hope this clears things up. Seth
Good strong magic and trade show info
