No Props Needed (Body Magic) by James Coats

This is a DVD where you learn a couple of body effects.

The Effect
James goes through a couple of old classics body effects, some unknown to me though. The effects are:
- Pull off your finger and show it in your other hand.
- Magnetize a spectator's fingers so they stick together.
- Switch a spectator's right and left sides.
- Make a bird appear anywhere at anytime.
- Make an angel appear on the shoulder of a spectator.
- Make a spectator's arms go through the floor.
- Perform a 5 person levitation with no gimmicks
and much much more.

Cost
Around $20.

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

1, slightly 2 caus one or two is a bit harder.

Review
When I was watching this I laughed, caus some of the tricks are so fun to do, like arm through floor. But I really like this DVD. Well dont expect like hype-tricks with your body,,, but sure you will have at least fun. And the bird trick, isnt a trick and if you are religious this is NOT recommended to do... especially for people you dont know. This is a neat and fun thing to have. By the way, some tricks will take some time, like 1-2 minutes, so you wanna have something to talk/joke about.

Overall
6/10

Thank you for the review. I love impromptu stuff. I think I figured out the Bird trick from your description. Sounds like my kind of DVD

That sounds cool, but the only link I see has it in £. It looks like it has some really cool effects.

I bought this afew months ago i agree the arm through floor is really fun to perform and a weird sensation when you have it done.

For a site in US$ try http://www.mymagic.com/dvd/dvd-murphys.htm and scroll down a bit.

One of my favourite books is Body Magic by John Fisher. I got it in 1981 for £1.50. It's out of print now, and listed new on Amazon at about £115!!! Again, it's not stuff that makes spectators reevaluate their sense of reality, but it's absolutely fascinating nonetheless.

I've wanted to get John Fisher's Body Magic for a long time. I hope this is just as good.

Can I ask if there are any good Hypnosis and Strength Test on the DVD?

Thanx for the review!
