On the Spot with Gregory Wilson

Gregory Wilson is an excellent magician. He might trip over his tongue sometimes, but he does a fantastic job creating magic. This DVD is no exception to how wonderful he is. Not everything on the DVD is going to be used, but the material that you will use is very worth the DVD. If you're looking to learn watch stealing, there is a great routine on this DVD. Personally, I didn't really want to learn this, so I have never used it. Some of the coin magic will take some extra skill and practice. If you're a beginner looking to take the next step and learn some sleight of hand, this is a great video to step you to the next level of experience. The Sponge napkin routine is funny, and helps learn misdirection. Same thing with head trip, which you may have seen on Criss Angel as the napkin routine done with the cops. Definitely fine works of misdirection, but I didn't really use either of them except maybe on kids. There are definitely some great tricks on the video that I have used, including the questionable trick. This effect is like Dime and Penny, but done without any gimmicks. It's a lot of fun to perform. I really enjoy how all the tricks can really be done on the spot, and with borrowed items. Some of the magic requires some extra practice, so if you decide to get the video - don't be intimidated by the sleights of hand you will be learning.
