Martin Cox - FOUR
As a fan of magic these days you know that there is a new DVD promising the next big thing released just about every other day. So you pick one, hand over your hard earned cash to get something thing that’s far from useable in the real world. But you must believe me when I tell you this one is different. The funny gentle giant of magic that is Martin Cox has put out a DVD which is worth its weight in gold. This is what Michael Close would call a “worker”. This is a real working magician with some great real world routines. It’s easy to see why Martin is in such demand both on the ships and on land. I am almost tempted to say this DVD is rubbish just so I can keep it all to myself. Martin covers effects from his close up, cabaret and family shows, you see all material performed in a lecture style format then explained in detail in what is a well shot and produced production. Martin covers his great Chop cup and watch steal routine with all its well honed patter as well as a stage watch steal routine and some of the freshest family show bits of business I have seen in recent years. Its all topped off with performance tips and advice which can only come from someone who performs in the real world. This has to be a solid buy for any one who is a working practitioner within our wonderful art.
Please don’t buy it, thank you.
