Hi Guys,

Just a heads up about something I am very exited about.

I have been filming a new project with Russ Stevens of RSVP magic and Gary Jones.

The project is called the Unknown and will be material form the clever mind of Mark Bendell. Marks unknown to most (hence the title) but is one of the most creative minds in magic. He has been writing material for magicians for years and much of what material myself and Gary use in a professional sets are his ideas.

His routines are very simple and yet very powerful. They also will appeal to all skill levels.

He is not a performer himself and we was honored when he decided to put some of his favourite creations from the last 15 years out the the public and wanted me and Gary to do the DVD for him.

Some of the routines we had not even seen until to the day before the filming, but they are so practical we was able to use them and get great reactions from the very first performance.

I really believe this could be the best project I have done to date.

I will put up a trailer as soon as it is done.

Thank you.

Lee.

Pencil my name in for a copy please Lee when it's available.

Lee showed me one of the routines using a couple of coins after the HCMS lecture last week. It was amazing, looks impossible and is very easy to do. He was kind enough to share the method with me and I've been performing it since then to great reactions. The DVD will be worth it for this one alone!

Now i feel sad that i cannot perform 'normal' magic anymore. Lee's stuff is great.

Thanks for your support on the other projects. I think there will be something for everyone on here. I have changed a couple of my effects that I have been diong years to fit around Marks material that is how good his ideas are.

I will still purchase it in case my left arm feels strong enough to do some regular magic again

the coin item is lovely. This will be well worth getting.

Thanks guys,

I really think this will be great for Mark. He is such a clever guy.

Since seeing the rest of the material I will be making space in my repertoire for some of these effects.

I am sure many others will do the same.

Hello Lee,

Could I ask when the release date is likely to be for this dvd.

Hi,

We are hoping for a Blackpool release. Trailer should be up soon.

I thought I would post this.

Russ Stevens of RSVP magic has just put this around elsewhere -



Hi Guys,

I thought I'd put up some more detailed information as the producer of this project.

Filming ended yesterday and I have to say that some of this material is the finest that I've ever been involved with as a producer. One routine in particular, "Bag for Life", is a knockout and I predict that every worker will carry this in their number 1 set-list almost immediately. IMHO it's a stunning effect that's both visual and instant. Best of all it's easy to do and is another fantastic effect from the creative mind of Mark Bendell. Lee Smith's routine drew gasps at every group and he's now made it a big feature in all of his paid gigs. Gary Jones performs some superb material, that once again is relatively easy to do, but gets superb reactions. I honestly think this may be one of the best DVDs that we at rsvp have produced to date, as it features so many commercial routines that everyone will use.

We've also invested heavily in some new cameras and equipment, so I think customers will love the 'new look' that they bring to this project.

Please check back on this thread in a few days for exclusive links and trailers to this wonderful new project. 2012 looks like being an exciting year!

Best,
Russ

I have just seen a clip of this as its being edited and I cant even begin to tell you how good the quality is with the new equipment Russ is using.

We are all in for a treat with this and future RSVP products.

Ooooh can we get a description of bag for life Lee!?

Some things are best seen to believed. Its a great trick... trust me. You will love it. and use it!

This sounds like an nice little project.

Lee, your name is synonymous with quality these days so I'll probably end up reaching for my wallet on this.
