Hey here are Joe and Andi from enjoy magic and welcome to the enjoy magic review!
for todays episode we ordered some pizza!
no but it´s the "Comedy Voodoo" routine from Quique Marduk
don´t try to say the name ;)
Andi tell us about the routine
yes the comedy voodoo routine...
so, we´ve just talked about the story
you ask an elderly couple, because the description says it´s funnier, on the stage
then you tell a story like, imagine your husband wouldn´t come home
it´s friday evening it gets 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm, he doesn´t come home
he comes home at 11 pm  or later
and he comes home like this:
he even gets a party hat on top of his head
and a horn
like "drunk" from a party
what would you do with him?
then you give the woman a plastik toy knife
you give it to her, take out your notepad and make a prediction
you show a little man you drew on it
and you tell that you´re going to make a prediction
and then you tell the woman she can stab her partner anywhere,
it´s a cheap foldable plastic knife, like for children
then she stabs him, for example in his shoulder
and then you can say that you predicted it
that she would stab him exactly in the shoulder
and then he signs it and can give out the paper as a souvenir
well that´s it
nice idea... let´s start with the positive things, nice idea...
but...
why so expensive?
it´s about 85 Euros, you get everything, you´ll have to craft a little bit not too much
but you get the party hat and so on...
but that´s no gimmick, that´s a party hat
the DVD is made quite cheap, you´ll have to be honest
my notebook couldn´t run the DVD, that was the first problem
well, i don´t know, it seems like...
the market is flooded with magic products, i mean we know it, we´re sitting at the review table
like you scrape out some magic stuff, put it in a pizza box and put a price tag on it...
that´s not newly produced
is it available for an eternity or new?
i haven´t seen it before either
the other thing i want to say: i think it´s horrible
i really like a few gags in my show
but in this case you just make him look ridiculous
with the party hat and the horn...
it´s always the same horn, god knows there it has been before :(
and you want to give THAT to your spectator?
or you throw confetti on him, well you can do that at the end of the show, because then nobodys going to come on the stage anymore
if you know it looks like that at the end of the show...
personally i´m not a fan of bringing spectators on stage and humiliating them
so everybody laughs about the poor guy
i don´t like it, and i think it´s not good
and that´s the thing i don´t quite like about the routine
and well, the principle remembers me a lot of "stretching the truth"
or what´s it called? with the card...
cardiographic
it seems like another wrapping, with the prediction effect but the gag is not that good
and you have to be honest, maybe you should say that you don´t have to "kill" him, rather stab him anywhere you want
because if you tell someone "kill him" the first thing most people do, is stab in the heart
well nice prediction...
the prediction is just the spot where the stab goes
so if someone stabs in the chest, it´s pointless if left or right, it´s all the same
i think the effect isn´t strong
like: "oh he stabbed there, okay cool..."
the routine depends on it´s gags and not the effect
the effect is incidental but the gags are more important
but the gags aren´t good because they are at the spectators expense
and the story doesn´t blow off my socks
especially the hat, it just doesn´t make a nice scenery
it just looks ugly...
sorry for the hate, but it just looks like a bad clown show
but it´s really not my style and i don´t like it
the price performance ratio is outrageous
let´s be honest: 80 Euros for only one routine...
what i´m thinking of is "Killer Prediction", a 10/10 product from my side
in this case you get the DVD but have to buy everything extra
why not with this idea? and then it´s getting a lot cheaper
because the things which are included here are easily bought at a toy store
well, there is this one gimmick that you need for doing this but that´s another thing
but that doesn´t justify the price either
then on to the rating
well... uh... hmmm
2 points, that´s it
that´s enough like.... no...
i´d rather ordering pizza ;)
from me there is 1 point, i think the props are too cheap to justify 2 points...
it´s not for beginners, amateurs and i don´t know why a pro would touch this...
and that´s it for "Comedy Voodoo"
and know "to the middle of the review"!
we would like to introduce you the enjoy magic facebook group!
we founded this little facebook group
it´s like a nice little family, i don´t want to talk bad about other groups
i have to praise that, i wrote that in the group, there are really nice discussions
the behavior is very nice
the ideas are always good
that´s what we like, the group is closed but the comments are for public
we also praise the people that comment and like to help and make suggestions
it developed well other the years you could say and it makes more and more fun
for those who like, write us and you get into the group!
and now on to the next product
the next product is "Collard 2" from John Archer
the first Penn & Teller "fooler", but not with this
we don´t know what "Collard 1" is, i haven´t found it
the first version of it, he tells it on the DVD
oooooooh really, well god bless we´re lucky that we are two people here because i´m too dumb :D
oh my god :)
well, it´s the first version of "collard", and the props weren´t as good
what can you do with it?
you´ve got a stuffed animal, he uses a dog
and he wants to solemnly baptise him
and he throws a paperball through the audience and they throw it ahead
and every spectator should say one letter
and he writes it on a birth certificate
in the end he gives the dog to a spectator and let it read her out loud
the name could be anything
and he didn´t know if he could name the dog in the show so he engraved a tag before
so the dog got this collar with the pre-engraved tag on his neck
and on it is the name the audience has freely chosen
yes that´s the effect
it´s a typical funny John Archer story
he´s always lonely on the street so he bought the stuffed toy dog
he also got this gag with a fishbowl in his car
his wife recommends him to take a partner with him, so he says he´s got a girl in mind
but she´s obviously not pleased with that idea
his wife is like: "honey you could put a fishbowl on your dashboard in your car"
and he was like: "if i make a turn the water gets everywhere"
so she was like: "you´re right that´s not one of my best ideas"
and he had not the heart to tell her, that it was indeed one of her best ideas
things like that
it´s defintitely a comedy performance
it´s stand up only
but it has not to be a comedy performance
yes that´s right but it has to be a stand up performance
that´s the dog tag, we can show you that
he especially made it this big because
you could also use it as a room prediction
you put a key on it and the audience guesses the hotel room number right
he also mentions that shortly
you get everything you need except the stuffed animal and the collar
you have to buy a pen but that´s not to drastic
yes and, because we are a german review show
i think we can show it, the birth certificates
in the show he names the toy
here you can see the birth certificates
and it´s just in english and not in german or any other language
you would´ve to print one yourselfe except your performing in english then you´re lucky
but that´s no problem you can print those
we won´t mention how this all works
but that´s what you must use
it looks like a normal clipboard
and it´s high-quality, really nice thing
here it says it´s a five minute stand up routine
but i would do it differently i would´nt let the audience choose the letters seperatly
i don´t know i found that weird...
well, but everybody gets to chose one letter with the paper ball throw
yeah but the first chooses "b" the next "a" then "t" and "e", then you have "bate" that´s no name...
but you can say that it shoul make kind of sense
no i mean that they choose the letters seperatly
okay what´s your suggestion then?
i don´t know, maybe the person who´s helping you with the birth certificate gets to choose a name
but then the audience thinks it´s stooged...
but she gets to choose one complete freely
or you let three people stand up, tell three different names and the person on stage chooses one name
well that´s an option, but the seperate letters aren´t really my thing...
write your idea in the comments :)
and as i said you have to buy a stuffed animal or you use a hotel room key
with the stuffed animal it´s nice because it seems like she had it all the time
it´s a little less expensive, 50 Euros, than the one before and better
that price is okay, the routine is great, the story is great and the props justify it because it´s high quality
even the little bag is high quality
because of that it´s absolutely okay
the good thing is, in the trailer is the complete performance from John Archer
that´s why the trailer is as long or a little bit longer than this review :)
i just see it´s not as long
have a look at it, if you like the story, it´s well made
if you want to predict a name of a stuffed animal or a number you can use this product
the routine doesn´t have to suit you, i have to say
as i said, if you want to predict the name of a stuffed animal or else...
you can´t use a real pet, i think
for those who have pets with them
the rating Andi
well the rating... 6.5 points
okay i thought you would rate it better
really? well the effect doesn´t really blow off my socks
but it´s a comedy performance so...
from me there are 8 points
because i like mental routines, i like funny routines and that ones great
i would change it a little bit
because of the letter like i said
i don´t know if i´m going to perform it
but honestly guys, you´ll just have to bring two pens, the clipboard and a stuffed animal for a five minute show
for a stage performance a great thing
i wouldn´t recommend it to a beginner
Amateur maybe, who´s preparing a bigger show
well amateur and more the advanced...
for amateurs who plan a short show
it´s not too much  it takes five minutes, packs small plays big
and pros too
and that´s it with "Collard 2"
and that´s it with the enjoy magic review for this week, with "Collard 2" not "Collard 1" because that´s the predecessor :)
the other one was "Comedy Voodoo"
buy this if you want something from that :)
thanks to magicshop, the links are down in the description
