Introducing the Mind Stunts DVD, featuring on screen for the very first time, Patrick Kuffs most coveted effects! Fun, whacky lively entertaining material that is strong and visual. Not only will you enjoy watching this DVD, you will be inspired to perform the material within. The effects are really direct, bold and entertaining. And the methods section, are a hoot too.This DVD contains performances and explanations of some very powerful mentalism.—————————————First, let’s take a quick look at the material you’ll find on this latest offering from Kuffs.Dangerous Monte – Spectator picks a number which corresponds to one of several closed bags. The remaining bags are smashed by the performer with his bare hands. The final bag is opened to reveal it contains half a broken bottle with jagged sharp edges! You may recall seeing an earlier version of this performed by Gary Kurtz in his stand up shows (using knifes)and there are several others varients floating around as well. No matter, the variation that Kuffs provides is a real stunner and easily my favorite on the disc. Easy to do and worth the prep work involved. Strong!Watchism – Another mental marvel using a borrowed watch in which the hands end up matching a prediction written previously by the performer. Cool.Book Test 4 Dummies – Here Kuffs provides an idiot proof way to perform a seemingly amazing booktest using a borrowed book. I liked this a lot.Blindfoil – The performer has his face taped with metal foil which blocks his vision, yet he can navigate easily (i.e, walking, driving, etc) as well as draw a picture of his surroundings on a tablet. Worth a look.Nostradakuffs – An easy to do 52 on 1 effect that is not actually explained (the method is VERY obvious). Hint: Go to the explanation area anyway and you’ll find a nice surprise.T.O.C. – An interesting Rubik’s Cube effect involving the performer and two spectators. You’ll like this, it’s very easy to do.Bold Business – A very neat mental mystery in which both the performer and specator secretly make a drawing on the back of a business card – they end up matching! A great way to hand out your business card. I liked this one and I think you may as well.———————————–First, the dvd is put together quite well. How well you may ask? Let me put it this way – Kuffs provides a package that is not only full of great material but is hands down one of the best magic dvd’s I’ve seen to date! No kidding!The production quality alone is worth the price of admission. Finally, a learning dvd that appears to be put together by folks who actually know what they are doing. Producers of magic dvd’s PLEASE take notice! Great editing, good sound and the entire project was obviously thought out and not slapped together in an evening as so many magic offerings appear to be done.Besides stellar production values, this disc just plain made me laugh out loud. Very VERY entertaining. This offering from Kuffs proves the point that you can teach some magic and still do so in an artful way. Arguably this is not necessary, but certainly has a greater appeal..at least for me.I also felt Kuffs did a nice job of presenting the effects to the viewer even though there was not a live audience to be found. Imagination is a wonderful thing.What about the material taught? Good question. I’m no mentalist but I found all of the effects worth a second look.The tricks are explained in great detail and the workings are all easily mastered. This means you can concentrate your efforts on presentation. Excellent value here my friends.This is probably the best dvd I’ve seen in a long time, and I can hardly await Kuffs’ next project.This receives my highest recommendation!
