REVIEW BY NING of THE LITTLE MAGIC SHOP

Laser Anywhere DVD Vol 1

Adrian Man is a young up and coming magician skilled in this area of manipulation and has really worked out the various card manipulation-style palms to CDs. Many moves are inspired by standard and advance playing card manipulation moves, jumbo card moves, billiard ball acquitments as well as Gary Kurtz's Flurious moves (side-note: you MUST check out his DVD if you're into cards and coins!!!).

Man goes through the basic palms, vanishes and productions with clarity so understanding the moves come easy to you (yes, even if you're a total beginner). DVD 1 contains 4 complete CD manipulation routines, even including a jumbo CD routine. So yup, once again, the teaching is very clear and the techniques are well within the reach of anyone willing in to put in the time and effort ;)

You probably could use regular CDs but Man's special manipulation CDs are also available for sale which would work so much better. Also, you will have to buy specially made CDs available from the manufacture if you want to perform some of the more varied effects like the colour changing CDs, jumbo or mini CD manipulations.

The DVD has English dubbed audio but if you understand Cantonese, you can choose that audio version and hear Man teach and present in his native language ^_^ I guess the only small issue I had is the way the DVD flows. There is a voice-over title sequence before each section and each DVD has over 20 sections so this is repeated over 20 times, making it a tad repetitious. Still, it does kind of help drill the moves into your head :P

All in all, this DVD comes highly recommended if you are thinking of adding some solid CD manipulation to your stage act!

Cheers,
Ning ^_^

I just got this from Ning Jie and i would say its great. This is the first time i'm seeing CD manipulations and i would say that the teachings are really clear. I like the instant practise part which makes it so much easier when you want to see how its done again without hearing the whole explanation over again.

Hearing the disc in cantonese is so so much better than the dubbed version. The english version is clear its just that I for one, cannot stand it when the person seems to be talking but there's no voice and vice versa. :P

I haven't start using the manipulation disc i got - couldn't bear to, yet. So i've been using those plastic protective disc that you get when you buy the writable discs. The hole is really too small, but it can be modified. (Hint: Good relationship with your Design and Tech teacher may just help in solving the problem) The thickness is not really a problem when its just for practise i guess. :)

Thanks for the review Ade ^_^ I'm glad you find the DVD extremely useful. You should try out the specially made manipulation discs soon... besides looking cool cos of the color, I think it'd be so much easier for you to pick up the skill when you have the proper tools :) Anyways, the set you have is the Deluxe one and there'splenty of discs inside so I'm sure you can spare a few to work with first. Just work with them on a carpet so they don't get scratched on tiles if you drop them ;)

Have fun Ade... look forward to see your manipulation act soon! *grin*
