David Penn is a magic machine. He is truly one of the busiest working magicians in the UK and has won many awards for his close-up magic, kids magic and illusions.

You can clearly see that David regularly performs these tricks from this DVD. His approach is confident, direct and powerful. My favorites are David's variant of John Bannon's 8 ball production, where he turns that wonderful moment of magic into a full routine and a glass of water production from an audience member's sleeve. It's killer magic and is the perfect opener of any show. Also included:

• Biz Card Transpo
• Design Duplication
• Tine Bend Subtlety
• Psychological Spoon Bend
• Salt Inspector
• Linking Laces
• Circle to the Forth Dimension
• Penn's Vanish & Color Change
• V.D.C.C.A.W.
• Coinvexed Discussion

This isn't like other lecture DVDs. It's not shot in a grim, dim room - it's shot on location in China (for example, on the Great Wall!) and is a well produced, entertaining DVD. You will definitely learn some great material for your close-up and walkaround performances.
