21 - MAGIC BY SWEDEN

På denne dobbelt-DVD har Magic Bar i Stockholm dannet rammen om en session, hvor 9 af Sveriges mest aktuelle "trollkarlar" viser og forklaret deres eget originale materiale - og så er danske Joachim Solberg blevet inviteret med i flokken, hvilket jo bestemt ikke gør det mindre interessant!

Her er over to timer med noget for alle (close-up, stand-up, mentalisme, greb og teknikker), og så er det effekter, der i humor og stil, passer til vores Skandinaviske scene. DVD'en er beregnet til det internationale marked og sproget er engelsk. Menuen ser således ud:

AXEL ADLERCREUTZ
-The Self Bending Straw - A drinking straw bends by itself as you hold it lightly.
-Circle Vanish - A very visual coin vanish.
-Two rope & ring moves - Fast, clean and super visual linking and unlinking of a ring and rope.

ERIK NORDVALL
-Memoradix - After three increasingly impossible card locations, the deck ends up in new deck order.
-The Real Green Shuffle - Lennart Green's false riffle shuffle with Erik"s addition.

JOHAN STÅHL
-Sleeveless Sleeving - A pen appears, disappears, appears and transforms, a crash course in sleeving!
-Sleeveless & Purseless - Bonus sleeving.

JONAS LJUNG
-Forced Will - An impromptu prediction of how the spectator will place random objects on the table.

JOACHIM SOLBERG
-JS Card Control, Double Lift and Top Change, adapted into three short and powerful card tricks.

ANDERS MODÉN
-Cherry Blossom - Not suitable at the dinner table. Regurgitation, sort of...
-Suction - Impromptu, designed for dinner seatings.

TIM STAR
-Ace routine - Includes Ace Production, the Turnover Muck Switch, Vanishing Aces, the Breakaway Case.

MICKE ASKERNÄS
-Display Bend - Cheeky and visual spoonbending.
-Askernas Retention Pass - Utility coin vanish.

TOM STONE
-Redneck Remedy - An innovative twist on the multiplying bottles.
-Gap Drive - You will love to practise this magician fooler.
-Clink Catch - An eyecatching stunt. Start with coins, turn them into anything you like.

TOMAS BLOMBERG
-Time After Time - An amazing principle. Three spectators, a shuffled deck and a series of random events leading to three impossible card revelations that will probably even fool the performer.

Wow - ret imponerende indhold - ikke sandt? De første anmeldelser er da også ovenud begejstrede:
