 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is the magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at the colossal Coloring book of magic from amazed kids and Danny Orleans. I'm sure you're familiar with the traditional normal size eight and a half by eleven or coloring book the magic coloring book where you flip through the pages and They change instantly from just outlined sketches to being filled in with color What Danny Orleans has done is he has taken that concept to the next Level and so he's made something that is great for stage great for parlor great for birthday kids parties You want to see what it looks like? This is it Hi, it's Danny Orleans from amazed kids and this is the colossal coloring book of magic If you're thinking wow, that's a really big coloring book. You're right It's more than triple the size of the industry standard and when kids first see it they react to here's some video Highlight of my nine-minute routine Using a book on which this one was based a book that I bought at a toy store and colored and cut by hand in the 1990s Let's take a look The cover is heavy stock full color and UV coated giving it an ultra glossy shine When you first open the book the kids will see line drawings of magicians performing classic magic tricks Hey, you know when I was little I used to do lots of coloring now. I'm older So I do magic shows, but I've had to spoke with me a long time never had a chance to color it Is anybody out there good at coloring neat careful never makes a mess good? Just checking hands down then you attempt to magically color the book and it becomes all scribble-scrabble This is an idea that I created 30 years ago, and I've been performing it ever since and kids love it It's not your fault, so honey Gage is that your fault if it's not your fault and not your fault and whose fault is it? Then you have the audience say the magic word Everybody say jump on telly me did all the colors the book will have rearranged themselves take a look Absolutely beautiful. Let's hear it for my two great helpers. They did a great job of coloring Coming close with the camera, and you'll see the details This looks so convincing even for kids sitting in the front row Our artists work carefully with the printer to create real crayon texture on every single page That's colored incorrectly In my routine. I have one child hold the book like this and another child hold a box of crayons The crayons disappear from the box and travel into the book Did you see that? But when the book is shown again the kids see a scribble-scrabbley mess For young children this mistake is just hilarious and it gives you the opportunity to magically fix the book I suggest that you use gags and props to fit your own personality If you've seen my show, you know, I use a large colorful breakaway fan followed by a breakaway crayon followed by a set of large nesting wands the book is 15 inches wide by 20 inches high which is big enough to be seen in large theaters But small enough so you can carry it to home parties libraries and school shows The pages are really sturdy. So the book should last you for hundreds of performances When you buy the book you'll have access to a video that has a full routine from my DVD set It has all the little bits of business that I've developed performing this over 3,000 times You didn't you should have because look they're gone You wave it three times over the book one to keep your hair still there You wave it three times over the book one to Magic wand stage has four of them there I know that you're gonna enjoy performing and your audience is gonna love watching you perform The colossal coloring book of magic All right So that was the colossal magic coloring book from Danny Orleans and amaze kids and if you don't know who Danny Orleans is he's an American magician He's one of the top trade show performers corporate entertainers magical educators in our country If this is your first time being introduced Danny Orleans Do yourself a favor if you perform for kids get his book kids show master plan get or find somehow His DVD set the art of teaching magic to children well worth the money. You'd you'd love them All right, so a couple questions We always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is what is in the box What's in the box? You're gonna get the colossal magic coloring book, of course you're gonna get the coloring book and You're gonna get a piece of paper eight and a half by eleven written instructions Okay, and then on the written instructions You're gonna get just the basic overview and then you're gonna get a download code so that you can go out to the internet and Download a 30 minute instructional video Is it what I thought it is what I thought only because there is a smaller version of this on the market There's an eight and a half by eleven version out there You've probably seen it or you probably own it and so it works exactly the same way as that one If you have that one or you are familiar with that one, it's gonna work exactly the same way So yes, it was what I thought how are the angles this is great because when I had this in the past I had the old the older smaller version in the past And it was nice to have for around the house because then I could you know Show it to my own kids or show it to people who came over so it was a good size for that But turns out this whole time like you know I was always worried about some of the angles or the way you do it that makes The secret noticeable yeah, so but the way Danny teaches it makes this completely Angle proof and that's what I love Danny teaches this in a way that makes this completely angle proof You could show it from any Direction and it's it looks good Can it be inspected? No, of course not the kids can't open it and you can't hand it out pass it around Danny does teach you how to keep the kids from Opening it and look things through it He does show you how he's able to actually hand it to a child and Have them keep from opening it and blowing the secret so but no it can't be inspected What's the overall quality and production value of the DVD? It's great It's it's a wonderful DVD Danny is standing in front of a lit fireplace wearing a jacket So it made me very hot to watch it, but it was well miced Danny speaks very clearly and succinctly so it makes him fun to listen to and fun to watch The camera isn't stationary and it follows him very well Shot with good color and good Production values so yes, it's a really well-made video is the coloring book well made absolutely this feels like it looks It feels like a really well bound book the paper is nice and thick you can't see through it It's not transparent the black and white drawings are thick and so they they they cast well the people in the back Rose could see this and then the coloring pages look beautiful. They don't look like they were Printed with color they look like they were colored with coloring crayons, and so even the scribble pages look like real scribble, and so Is it was beautifully well done lots of attention to detail in this it is a wonderfully made prop in addition to That Danny will even go through some tips to help make your product last longer through repeat performances. Is it well taught? Yeah, Danny goes over handling. He goes over Modifications to the prop like I said he goes over kid management, which I think is very important He's going to show you his entire full ten minute routine Okay, plus he's going to give you two bonus effects from the art of teaching magic to children He's going to give you the his nesting wands routine He where he teaches you the routine and teaches you how to build it and he's going to teach you the vanishing crayons Routine as well. So in addition to this trick you're getting the instructions and the pattern and the performance For two others that you can incorporate together to create a routine and this is what I love about this DVD and I applaud Danny for doing this I wish more magicians would do this usually what happens in the past is a magician sells you a trick and And you might learn some pattern you learn, you know how to do the trick But you don't learn how to incorporate that trick into a larger routine And so what that does is it just makes you a performer, but not necessarily a magician Danny is teaching you how to create Magic for children not just do a trick and I think this is important I think this is what separates his video from a lot of others You can learn a trick Magician can teach you a trick in 10 20 minutes and then you can do the trick But then how do you work it into a routine so it fits a larger hole? How does it fit your character? How does it fit into? Another series of routines that all help each other so that the one trick is not just a standalone effect But it becomes part of something so much bigger and that is what he's doing with these three tricks When you watch it Suddenly it's the trick about the coloring book and the other tricks that come in and out of it are almost Supporting characters, you know, and I could see a magician saying oh, I'm gonna do one trick and it's the nesting ones I'm gonna do another trick banishing crayons and do another trick coloring book, but by themselves They don't have a story Danny is teaching you how to weave all this together So that makes sense so that's coherent And so you get the most out of your audience and that I think what separates just a performer from being an actual Professional or from being a performer to being an actual magician. That's what I loved about this video How much practice does it require? Not much. I mean if you're just gonna do the effect and you just want to know how to do the effect It's not much practice at all. In fact, once you learn the secret you'll be doing this like that How much setup and reset is there? There is zero There's nothing to set up nothing to reset the coloring book does all the work for you Positives all right, so what are some of the positives to the claustral magic coloring book? If you've done this trick in the past if you perform for children in any capacity The gems that are in this video are well worth the purchase Danny is the grand master of children's magic Negatives all right, so one of the negatives there aren't any you know sometimes you look for negatives Can't mind any I was totally 100% pleased with this video and this prop there are no negatives to this Danny has literally Done all the work all the homework for you. There's nothing wrong with this well worth it. Is it worth your money? Absolutely, it's 45 dollars 45 dollars and you're getting this incredible prop that if you perform for children You're gonna use again and again and again and again that is giving you routine. He's giving you advice. He's giving you tips He's giving you more tricks Well worth it. I mean if you perform for children if this is how you make your living if this is how you make your side Living you need to run out and get this prop today. All right, so who would like this? People who perform for children people who want to get into children's magic or party magic should definitely get this and like I said earlier You should get his book kids show master plan. I wanted to get this book I really did but I wasn't able to pick it up, but I still it's on my wish list It's still my wish list to go out and get this book or the art of teaching magic to children It's a DVD set. I think it's a little harder to find but well worth it Like I said Danny is just he is the king of this and so it's good to sit the feet of the master All right, so that is the colossal magic coloring book from Danny Orleans and amaze kids as always I want to thank Murphy's magic for providing this for me so that I could review it for you And if you would like to purchase your own you can find it at your favorite Murphy's magic dealer.
