Totally Whacked by Steve Mayhew and The Magic Bakery - DVD

\n

Steve Mayhew ist ein lustiger, listiger Koalabär mit ernsthaften Kartenfertigkeiten und verrückten Komikfähigkeiten. Er ist Erdnase mit einem Pfeil durch den Kopf, aber viel lieber und weniger fiktiv. Er wird eine Dame aus ihrem letzten zwanzig Dollar überreden, sie in die Menge werfen und sie lachen und ihn umarmen lassen. Er wird jemandes Geld stehlen und das Publikum jubeln, während er versucht, den armen Mann zu trösten. Das ist nur ein Teil des Programms, das hier aufgegeben wird, inklusive einer neuen Methode zur „zufälligen“ Verschwindung eines Zuschauerin's Geldes, was die bekannten Methoden dafür auf etwa drei erhöht.

\n
• Sie werden Steves gesamtes Show auf diesem Disc sehen, mit echten Lachen und echtem Staunen von echtem Publikum. Es gibt keine reaktionen von Loud & Loopy, (wie auf anderen Discs) und keine Pausen für Erklärungen, damit Ihre Freunde das Programm vom Anfang bis zum Ende genießen können.
\n
• Eine Weile später können Sie die Erklärungen auswählen und lernen, wie ein Meister Magie mit Mayhem mischt und trotzdem immer noch den Mädchen am Ende das Herz gewinnt.
\n
• Aber es ist nicht nur Lachen. Freiheit, a.k.a. der Mayhew Poker Deal, ist die ultimative Demonstration von Falschdealen, bei der Sie nicht nur aus dem Mittel, sondern auch aus zufälligen Positionen im Deck dealen; 3., 6., 35., 49. oder was auch immer, wenn Sie tatsächlich nur einen zweiten Dealen können.
\n
• Und für die arbeitenden Profis ist Full Frontal Conus dabei, bei dem Steve sagt, er wird die Asse unter der Zuschauerin's Hand stehlen, es dann tun und sie warnen, dass er das noch einmal tun wird. Er quält sie gnadenlos, indem er das Deck scheinbar verschiebt oder von unten dealt, aber jedes Mal, wenn sie nachschauen, finden sie die Asse auf dem Tisch, wo sie sein sollten. Schließlich gibt Steve den Karten der Zuschauerin und sie selbst verteilt die Asse und bedeckt sie mit ihrer Hand. Es könnte nicht gerechter sein, und dann stiehlt Steve die Asse erneut.
\n
• Dies ist Conus Aces, ein Routine, die von Generationen von Performern verehrt oder sogar gefürchtet wird. Während die meisten erfahrene Magier die Bewegungen meistern können, wissen nur wenige Elite, wie man das Publikum durch Serien von Sucker Tricks manipuliert und schließlich einen Händen-rüber-Mirakel erreicht. Steve bewältigt dies mit Spaß und Charme und lehrt die kritischen Punkte, die das Publikum dazu bringen, Ihnen zu vertrauen, selbst nachdem sie Sie mehrmals übertölpelt haben.
\n
• Und wenn das nicht reicht, gibt es vier weitere kommerzielle Routines aus Steves Arbeitsrepertoire: Three by Three (auch bekannt als Balloon, Cartwheel und Pony Ride); The James Brown Aces, Delores in the Meadow und The Sanborn Switch. Okay, vielleicht nicht so sehr mit dem letzten, daher haben wir auch ein Bonus-Interview mit Steve, Outtakes und, wir sind ziemlich sicher, den ersten Einsatz des Wortes „crunk“ auf einer Magievideo.

Originale englische Beschreibung

Steve Mayhew is a funny, sneaky koala-bear of a guy with serious card chops and mad comedy skills. He's Erdnase with an arrow-through-the-head, but a lot more loveable, and less fictitious. He'll talk a lady out of her last twenty bucks, toss it into the crowd, and she'll just laugh and hug him. He'll swipe someone else's money and people cheer as he tries to make the poor guy feel better. That's just part of the routine he gives up here, along with a brand new way to "accidentally" vanish a volunteer's money, bringing the total known ways to do that to about three.

You'll see Steve's whole show on this disc, with real laughs and real astonishment from a real audience. No Loud & Loopy reactions, (like on other discs) and no breaks for explanations, so your friends can enjoy the show from beginning to end. Later, you can select the explanations and learn how a master mixes magic with mayhem, and still manages to get the girl in the end.

But it's not just laughs. Freedom, a.k.a. the Mayhew Poker Deal, is the ultimate demonstration of false dealing, in which you appear to deal not just from the middle, but from random positions throughout the deck; 3rd, 6th, 35th, 49th or whatever, when all you can really deal is a second. Best of all, its so clear and simple that audiences with no knowledge of cards instantly understand what's going on.

And for the working pros there's Full Frontal Conus, in which Steve says he'll steal the aces out from under the spectator's hand, then does it. He warns the audience that he's going to do it again. He then teases them mercilessly, by apparently shifting the deck, or dealing off the bottom, but every time they check, they find the aces on the table, right where they should be. Finally, while everyone is burning the cards, Steve gives them to the spectator. She deals the aces herself, and immediately covers them with her hand. Nothing could be fairer, and then Steve steals the aces again.

This is the Conus Aces, a routine revered, even feared, by generations of performers. While most accomplished magicians can handle the moves, only an elite few know how to manipulate the audience through serial sucker tricks, culminating in a hands-off miracle. Steve handles this with fun and charm, and teaches the critical points that get the audience to trust you even after they've been repeatedly punk'd and pwn'd.

And if that's not enough, Steve tips four more commercial routines from his working repertoire that are as unique and fun to do as their names suggest: Three by Three (aka a Balloon, a Cartwheel, and a Pony Ride); The James Brown Aces, Delores in the Meadow, and The Sanborn Switch. Okay, maybe not so much with that last one, so we've also included a bonus interview with Steve, outtakes, and, we're pretty sure, the first use of the word "crunk" on a magic video.

Running Time Approximately: 1 Hr 21 mins.
