Review of On The Spot
By David Christopher
The Effect:
On The Spot is a guerilla course in performing impromptu magic. Get ready to experience Greg's on-site, out-of-sight insights for real people, in real life with real off the cuff fun!
Imagine showing up at your next gig with no tricks in your pocket. That's right, no tricks! This video teaches you to entertain professionally with normal everyday objects.
With these simple but stunning routines, you'll be able to turn everyday objects into weapons of deception.
Complete routines strong enough for your next paid performance!
Ticker Taker - A super-simple and perfectly motivated watch steal that doesn't take tons of testosterone to perform. Learn how to repeat steal a spectator's watch up to 4 times in a row.
Quick Silver - A quarter disappears and reappears three times - in your eye socket (like a monocle), on the spectator's shoulder, and finally under their watch. All you need is a quarter.
Sponge Napkins - The impact of a sponge ball routine with ordinary cocktail napkins. Greg's gone beyond the ordinary spongeball moves and has them reappearing in surprising places. Greg also introduces a new concealment that will fool you and your spectators.
Open Palm Coins Across - A clean and slick impromptu Coins Across. All you need are 3 borrowed quarters. Better start doing your Pinky-Pushups for this incredibly fair handling.
Head Trip - A Paper Balls over the Head routine with anything - and everything. Gregory grabs glasses, plates, and saltshakers - anything he can get his mitts on!! This routine alone is a postgraduate course in misdirection.
Glossy Finish - A smear of borrowed lipstick penetrates a spectator's tightly clenched fist. This is perhaps the most motivated and natural routine in the series! Even if you're familiar with the method, you'll still be fooled watching the performance!
Toll Free - A Close-up miser's dream that ends with a jumbo production! Multiple methods ensure that spectators never see the same move twice.
99 Cent Trick - Multiple coin vanishes topped off with a dizzying transposition. That's all I'm telling you.
Florida Keys - Ordinary keys and their key ring become a mini Linking Ring routine.
Ring Fright - You toss a borrowed wedding band into the air and then stab it with your finger!
Trick Question, Questionable Trick - A very convincing copper/silver transposition with the spare change in your pocket - a penny and a dime. Now you can perform Scotch and Soda anywhere, at any time.
Playful Pickpocketing - Rob your spectators blind - they'll love your for it. Greg demonstrates how Close-up Pickpocketing can transform the audience's definition of you as an entertainer and erase the lines between performer and audience.
ReCap Revisited - Gregory's classic, as you've never seen it. Greg's added new subtleties, moves and brilliant new ending where the pen is pulled from the pen cap!
I'm new to magic, can I do it?
Some of these effects are really gonna take some practice. If you have a general knowledge of street magic/ close-up magic, you know most of the principles. You'll be just fine. The great thing is, you have props everywhere you go! Using napkins, pens, coins, and other everyday items!
Will I use it?
YES. The stuff included in this DVD, and there's a LOT on this DVD, is very commercial. Gregory takes the principles of magic we already know and applies them to items you'll fiind everywhere you go. Forget sponge balls, do sponge napkins! Easy to intermediate coin work! The best pen magic we've ever seen! Can't say enough about the material covered on this DVD!
Is it repeatable?
There's a saying,"Once is entertainment, twice is education." Of course you can repeat it. Repeating the effect for the same audience right after you perform it: not suggested (though you could probably get away with it). There's so much on this DVD, you won't need to repeat anything! Everything is completely impromptu. The material is presented as routines and they're stuctured to give you excellent audience reactions!
Worth the price?
Absolutely. This DVD will save you from carrying a gig bag! Anytime someone asks for a trick, you can grab whatevers around! You'll become a Magic McGuyver!
