The Magic of Nefesch Vol. 1

Postby lozey » May 15th, '08, 19:07



From :http://www.titanasmagic.com/THEMAGICOFNEFESCH.html
Price $130 , the set (free shipping!)

Effects:

Hatching: Signed coin to egg.
Glastion: A signed card to borrowed sealed glass bottle.
Coinetration: Signed coin in glass with beverage.
Sweet card: A sweet revelation on a glass.
Ballooned: Cell phone to signed balloon.
CAPture: Ring to baseball cap.
Crispes: Signed coin to chips bag.
Bending coins: 2 variations of Titanas signed bending coins.
NTF: Needle through finger.

My thoughts:

Hatching - I love this effect and the dvd makes the setup seems much simpler as opposed to the previous booklet.
Glastion - This looks really fair! You can use a bottle that doesnt have a central label (ie like budwiser) so it looks really clean. Unfortunatly you need a bottle with a certain type of cap, which isnt that common in Britain. Its worth hunting out suitable bottles though! You also need a cheap item that is usually used in stage magic.
Coinetration - This is one of my favourite effects on the dvd and is almost impromptu. You need a small item that many magicians will have and that can be put in a wallet.

Sweet Card - I really like this. The setup and performance is really easy and costs practically nothing. You can also set up way ahead of time.
Ballooned - This is an amazing effect and is my favourite effect on the dvd. You need to spend a fair bit of money on the setup, but you will never need to replace the items again (unless you break or loose them). You need a bit of cover to do 'the move', but you end with an examinable cell phone sealed inside an examinable balloon. The spectator can actually burst the balloon themselves and take out the phone

CAPture- I like this and would use it as an intro to 'Interlace' by Richard Sanders. It can be done with a coin or ring.
Crispes- A nice penetration that can be done with any bag of crisps or snacks. There are some really nice subtleties that convince
the spectator they feel the coin actually penetrate the bag.

Bending Coins - some very nice ways of bending signed coins. No expensive gimmicks required!
NTF - a very unusual piece! i like the fact that its set to music and doesnt require patter

Overall 9/10 some really unique effects
Difficulty varies depending on effect but id say 2-4

Does seem like an amazing set! Every trick is what you'd expect a magician to dream of! Funding is a solid brick wall between me and it though!

Anyone else got any of these volumes?

The entire set seems to be getting a double thumbs up on other forums.

Nefesch is without doubt one of the most innovative thinkers in Magic.

He has one of those brains that seem to think laterally when it comes to creating new effectives, and he comes at the solution from where you would least expect it.

I have just watched this series of DVDs again, and found that it isn't just the ideas I like, but the imagination behind them.

In fact it just adds fuel to my own creative juices. One day I would love to meet this amazing young performer. Hopefully he WILL come to England - not just for a big convention like Blackpool or SEMC, but to tour all he magic societies.

Nefesch would love to do a UK lecture tour. There arnt any magicians in El Salvador as a rule, so its like being part of one big international family! :D If there is enough interest then we may be able to do this. I'll approach some magic clubs and listen to their feedback
