Publishing new talent is usually a crapshoot. Big Blind Media has found a winner with Alan Rorrison. Here are the details:
Deep Impression
Card Through Arm, ala the old Knife Through Arm. It's totally weird, but looks good and isn't hard to perform. As much as I normally hate this kind of meaningless bizarre stuff, I could almost see myself doing it as an unexpected gag.
Relentless
Cell phone camera magic is a hot topic these days. This is an easy-to-understand concept and pretty clever. You start by taking a photo of someone's palm. Borrow a coin and have it marked. Place the marked coin on the picture of your helper's hand and the coin penetrates into the photo, and then back out again.
3 Shot Slammer
Coin through shotglass times three. Unfortunately I didn't find much here that hasn't already been done before. There's really no kicker or anything to recommend it above other methods previously published.
Evolution
By far my favorite routine on the DVD and one that I'll be working on in the coming weeks. You offer to draw a portrait of someone in your audience. You draw a stick figure on one of your business cards. OK, it's not that funny, but just wait... The back of the card is signed (no switches or funny moves... it's all very clean). Now you heat up the card with a lighter and then move the stick figure's head from the body to a corner of the card. Of course, they get to keep the card.
Hells Bend
A very clean bent coin routine using a move from a routine that many of you might already know. Alan is a clever little monkey. This would be a great one for impromptu work. Be aware that it does employ a “bet” with the audience. If that's not your sort of thing, you'll have to find a new frame for the routine.
Lightless Lights
If you think D'Lite has been overworked but still want to do a light production, this might be a good alternative. It's only for close-up and requires that you pick up a readily-available and cheap device.
Broken Home
Borrow someone's keys and visibly break and restore one of them. I'm not sure why you'd do this, but if it's your cup o' tea then this is a decent method that doesn't require any expensive props.
