Once again, Kozmo and his team have put together a great edition of the dvd magazine Reel magic.
This, vol 7, has a remarkably high Englishness about it, as it contains many products, tricks, and interviews with some of Britain’s magic favourites.
Ive got to say that for me the new feature “ Move Monkeys” was just a tiny bit cringeworthy, because it reminds me of those oh so many how’s my pass? Videos we get plagued with on line.
Caught on Tape: Mac King
John Lovick has a hilarious conversation with the king of comedy magic, Mac King
As Always, Mac King gives great value for money, as he talks about his time growing ( or maybe that should be throwing) up with Lance Burton, and his visits to the old tom Mullica show, “Tomfoolery”
Simon Lovell Simon Said It!
Simon gives us a guided tour of the IBM/SAM Dealer room, with unexpected results .
this is great. If you have never seen a big convention, this will show you what they are like. Nice to see Terry Sebroke at the end, propping up the bar.
Garrett Thomas Try This At Home
a thorough explanation of Garrett's pen through coin switch
a really , really nice coin switch, that could be used for so many other things..
Jon Armstrong Small Things, Big Difference
never, ever say "pick a card"
I loved this, Its the best Article so far from Jon.
David Regal Tricks of the Trade
do-it-yourself the Regal way—how to build some gimmicks
Good honest reviews, as always. Some of these items are a total waste of money. And he more or less says so.
Wayne Kawamoto Choice Cuts
Wayne talks with Chris Priest about his latest DVDs
Its great to see Chris Priest waving the flag on this international product, though I didn’t agree with everything he said, but thats natural.
Still some solid info here.
Bonus Tricks:
John Guastaferro "Constellation"

I might go to the trouble of practicing this, its lovely.
Alan Rorrison "Relentless"
from Fingers of Fury, Volume 1, published by Big Blind Media .
Not my kind of thing, but its interesting.
Craig Petty "Empowerment"
from Flipped Out: The Magic of Craig Petty, Volume 1 published by World Magic Shop
Craig, I know your going to read this.. so what can I say? It was great.I knew this was great before seeing it. Darren goes on about it all the time.
Move Monkeys:
Craig Petty "Flipper Muscle Pass"
nice.
Alex Giser "Modified AG Spread Production"
Nah, not my cup of tea. I shouted “Show us a trick “ at the television twice !!
Matt Richmond "Cascade Control".
Sickeningly good. Probably why I hate this section. It makes me feel way to old.
And that’s it. Once again, a great couple of hours spent watching this….. Roll on the next one!!
