    THE ORIGINAL STAND-UP MAGIC OF JUAN PABLO -- by Juan Pablo Ibanez  (TWO DVD set)
    --published by Bazar di Magia (2006)
    I think the first product I ever saw that was created by Juan Pablo (Ibanez) was Iguana -- and it fooled the heck out of me.  He later became known for other amazing and innovative effects and methods like Fruitfull and Roped.   Yet, he is still relatively unknown to many magicians.
    And so this TWO DVD set of his stand-up magic creations can be a great introduction for those who are not familiar with Juan Pablo's creative approach to magic.  Or for those who do know Juan Pablo's stuff, here is some more goodies that you probably have not seen.
    I hesitate to compare anyone's creativity to that of the late great Steve Dusheck, but watching Juan Pablo's creations does remind me of the kind of magic that Steve D would come up with...  Common props or household items looked at in completely new and crazy ways, then cleverly worked into a deceptive magic effect.
    here's perhaps the wildest example:
    imagine your zipper change bag, with a slicing blade added to the opening.  After showing the bag empty, you unzip the bottom, insert your hand up and through the top opening, and then swivel the blade down -- your hand falls off, leaving a bloody stump sticking out of the top of the change bag.  Of course, you screw the fallen hand back on, and restore yourself, completely unharmed.
    Okay, I told you that was the weirdest example, but it actually looks really good, and I can see this working really well for a contemporary young adult audience.  But not everything is that far off the wall:
    there is a animal balloon card sword, and also a card sword effect using an ordinary kitchen knife.
    An absolutely beautiful visual transformation of a blank paper into a bill -- unlike many of these changes, the paper is not folded up, just held flat out between the hands, waved and turns into a bill, which is immediately handed out.  It is my new favorite bill change.     Also a neat change of a bill into two half dollar coins.
    Some excellent stand up card effects, which can add strong magic and entertainment to your stand up show without adding to your the weight of your prop load!    A neat rope through body which also grabs a selected card from the deck in your waistband.  Etc etc etc
    Funny for magicians, but probably just weird for lay audiences is one where he changes his Rocky Racoon puppet into a Daniel Boone style coonskin cap.    I think unless the audence is really aware of what the Rocky prop is, this one is the only big miss on the two DVDs.  But when you push the boundaries of creativity, you are bound to shoot wide sometimes.   Generally speaking, Juan Pablo's creative aim is pretty darned good.
    Check out the photos of the DVDs' back covers for details.
    Retail on these DVD's is each, but I did see someone selling one of the DVDs for .  For this closeout DVD sale, if you buy both of them at once, you can get these TWO great DVDs for better price per each than even that!
