The video jumps from gritty industrial settings to a gorgeous indoor studio setting - to a Hot University Campus - to rooftops with workmen drilling in the background - to an underground parking garage....wherever Brad can find people who want to see magic. You'll see performances for people of every background and race...watch which tricks and moves REALLY get reactions from people and how Brad builds each move into a masterpiece, extracting the maximum possible mystery from each section of the routine. You see, one of the very fastest ways to learn something is to see it performed by a pro but to not "copy" his style. Instead, you must "absorb" the good things like timing, looseness and raw showmanship and use this to find your own dynamic style. This is the reason we included so many performances, and here is what you should watch for in this video... - How relaxed Brad is with an audience and how he handles people. When Brad is performing for Jackass Korey's wild group of teenagers, watch how one girl grabs Brad's cards in the middle of the performance and how it doesn't phase Brad one bit (In fact, that's when he moves even closer and starts doing everything in slow motion — you could hear a pin drop!) See how he handles the situation when one girl is "sure" she knows how it's done and screams out at the top of her lungs in front of everybody. At that point we slow the video down to frame-by-frame action and Brad gives a detailed voice-over as to what he was thinking at that exact moment — and the instant changes he made to the routine to compensate for this girl. - How Brad creates an *intimate* atmosphere with people he has just walked up to on the street... so that they believe what he is telling them and begin to have fun with the magic rather than try to figure it all out. Nothing will kill your performance faster than some Bozo who is hell bent on trying to figure out how it's done — this will show you how to get past that during a performance and create a different atmosphere...one of mystery and intrigue. - In the performance for Calvin watch how within seconds Brad and this guy are like old army buddies sharing a good story — and Brad uses nothing but magic and a pack of cards to gain that trust with him. - Learn the techniques to disarm spectators right from the beginning of a routine — so that doing complicated magic is ten times easier. - How Brad commands authority when he performs. This is one of the most vital lessons in the video. This factor alone will make your performances effortless when mastered. People don't "mess" with authority, and this is something you must have if you are going to perform for people — especially if you do magic. You can have authority even if you are nervous...it comes from a certain attitude that must be developed. In various places in the tape Brad subtlely teaches what you need in order to gain authority with your magic, so that people do what they're told to do WHEN they're told to do it (mostly though it will help you to gain authority by watching and absorbing the performances on the video). People listen, and they believe you. - See how to use the street as your own experimental stomping ground — as if it was put there just for you to go out and attempt new things. - Watch what Brad does and says when a lady (June) forgets her card...one of the most hilarious scenes in the video. Brad doesn't even care about the outcome of the trick as long as he's having fun. - Watch how Brad paces the show — how he relaxes and waits for the reactions to build — when he goes fast and when he goes slow (known as pacing). All of this is valuable information when putting together your own performing style. - Watch how Brad deals with Brenna and Sebastion — two people who don't seem to react to the magic — but the stiffer they are the more relaxed and loose Brad gets, performing more and more and more killer moves until he forces them to relax and react BIG in the end. Then Brad steps into the street to give you a talk on why you must respect whatever reaction you get, even the bad ones - and the truth behind why some people simply don't react.
