Great For BeginnersReviewed by J. Cherry, 2006-12-02
I did alot of magic when I was a kid and as a grew older I sort of fell out of the magic game. When I finally got the magic bug again I found this DVD. It's packed full of mostly everything you need to get started in magic. The teaching by Brad is very in depth and informative that with just a little practice you will be performing these amazing effects in no time at all!
A Beginners Review of "How To Do Street Magic"Reviewed by Jeremy Ellsworth, 2006-11-28
I would like to start this review by saying that I am a 28 year old
male who has never done any sort of magic in my life. So I am a
true beginner in every sense of the term. I stumbled across "How To
Do Street Magic" one day after watching a David Blaine special on
television. I was searching the internet for an item or items that
would teach me how to do anything remotely close to what David
Blaine does. Let me tell you, with this video, I found EXACTLY what
I was looking for!!!
I ordered the video and within 3 days it was waiting for me in my
mailbox. I was so excited to start learning the secrets of magic
and I assumed that it may take me months to actually perform any of
the effects on the DVD. I WAS WRONG! Brad Christian phenomenally
executes the teaching of each and every aspect of each and every
effect. You can tell he wants to make sure that when you perform
any of these illusions you are going to nail it. His teaching makes
the learning process so much easier and I was able to perform
several of the effects the next day!!! With this being said, I want
to remind you that I had never performed magic before I purchased
this video. It really is that amazing!!!
To further solidify the fact that you should buy this DVD let me
tell you about some of the reactions I have received when
performing some of these wonderful effects.
- "Burned" This is the first effect taught on the DVD and it blows
people away!!! I work in a bank and one night after we closed I
performed this for the ladies that I work with. The reactions I got
were priceless! There were four of them and all of them were in
awe. One of the ladies literally said, "Let me out of here! This
isn't right. This is just not right at all!" Another one said, "Are
you the devil?" There were screams and laughter. It was
perfect!!!
This is only a tiny, tiny portion of what is taught on this
masterpiece. This DVD is jam-packed with twenty-two effects and
flourishes that will have you performing magic within hours of
watching the video. "How To Do Street Magic" is the perfect way to
start your experience in magic. It will get your feet wet and teach
you things that will AMAZE!!!
Do yourself a favor and purchase this DVD today. You will not be
disappointed at all.
A first hand experience with How To Do Street Magic.Reviewed by Anonymous, 2006-11-01
I busted open the packaging, and shoved it into the DVD Player. To
be honest, I was skeptical at first because I didn't know what to
expect. But after watching the first trick, I knew I was into
something good... very good. And it only got better.
Then, I had to find my "dummy." Someone that was willing to sit
through attempt after attempt, until I was ready for the "real
world". I know that I won't ever forget when the glass on the
dinner table disappeared. My dad's eyes were almost as big as the
half dollar that was in my pocket, ready to be used for my next
move. I soon found out that this look was common.
Anyone who purchases the video should be prepared for heads
slamming on tables, and the funniest response I've had so far,
seeing peoples back as they RUN AWAY! I couldn't believe it.
If only they knew how easy it was to do with a little
practice...
Then I rose off the ground, about 3 inches. I stumbled, almost
falling over. "It took all the energy out of me" I replied. They
watched, amazed, and the teacher (an educated man of PHYSICS),
stumbled just as I did. "I think I may have broken some of Newton's
laws," I said softly. The teacher looked at me with eyes like those
of my father's.
Throughout that day, I performed several tricks I had learned and
received similar looks. Those huge, bugged-eyed looks are scary at
first, but take my word, you get used to them.
The one thing I can't forget to mention is the green, and I'm not
talking about the dollar I made float in thin air.
People still offer me cash in exchange for the secrets. It is SO
VERY HARD to say no! But that is what makes it fun. Knowing that I
know something that others are so crazy about gives you a rush, and
once you start, you will not be able to stop. And what is most
amazing is that you can do it anytime, with any cards, or any
coin.
Imagine what it can do for you, just as I did. I promise you that
it will fulfill those hopes, and then some. Listen to them talk, as
your name is tossed around with respect. They love you, and you in
turn love this video. I know I do, and am so grateful I bought it.
It has changed me, and will change you too!

NOT STREET MAGICReviewed by D. Reichelt, 2006-04-28
If you're looking for a DVD on how to do David Blaine type street magic, you are looking at the wrong DVD. Though Brad does a very good job at teaching, the material taught is basic sleight of hand used at the card table. Though it can be used on the street as well, the tricks taught using the sleight of hand are mostly tricks that would mostly work for children. Brad sells a series of his own produced magic DVDs at ellusionist.com; Those entilted Ninja 1, Ninja 2, and Crash Course in Street Magic 2 actually have a fair amount of street magic in them but one has to wonder why he repeats material taught in earlier DVDs such as How to Do Street Magic in those. He always repeats material instead of having a DVD full of new material and a lot of the time the good material is sprinkled within all of the mediocre material on a lot of his DVDs. Ellusionist does have a good site though some things are priced a little higher than at other magic sites. I would recommend buying The Royal Road to Card Magic as it teaches you very basic sleight of hand in its 5 dvd set to pretty advanced sleight of hand and all for around [...] bucks instead of buying the ellusionist set for around [...] total; that set repeats material and has a lot of mediocre magic when you think of what you're paying for. One also has to wonder why they have strictly glowing reviews on their website for EVERYTHING; there is always someone who will not like your product no matter what. If you are looking for magic material, I would also try penguinmagic.com; they have a very good selection and the reviews for their products actually have good and bad reviews which to me gives a bit of legitimacy and gives you and idea of what you would possibly be buying. Bottom line, the dvd here is way over priced for what it teaches; I mean this material if very old and can be learned from cheap books by Scarne, or Jean Hugard. My advice would be to buy an actual progressively harder dvd set like the one mentioned above which has been excellent so far, then go buy some books by the above mentioned authors who have tricks like the pass, the ambitious card and other "street magic" and teach yourself. By the time you go through a dvd set learning a vast amount of sleights and tricks, it should be a breeze to learn from a book. There are a lot of quality magic dvds out there at ellusionist and penguinmagic as well as other sites, but you will be paying a bundle compared to what you would pay for a book; so be careful when buying dvds and do your research because there is a lot of overpriced, overhyped [...] out there like this particular dvd which isn't even good street magic.
