 Hey everybody welcome back to magic orthodoxy my name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at Taiwan dough from Timothy Presley. What is it? It's basically a children's magic trick Okay, something you do at a kid's party and it's kind of just like a funny prop gag where you turn a magic wand Into a set of num chucks. You want to see the trailer? This is it What is a magician in a ninja having common? Taiwan dough the nun Chuck magic wand the Taiwan dough You'll have every child in your audience rolling on the floor and stitches at your confoolery Oh With every Taiwan dough, I'm also giving away my personal routine called banana split This is a three-minute comedy magic routine where you will demonstrate your ninja's skills by slicing a banana Without ever touching it. This routine has everything you would ever want and the children's Magic routine it has a simple plot line audience participation One-liners and physical comedy in an impossible feat of magic. It requires no skill allowing you to focus on the presentation So what are you waiting for? All right, so that was Taiwan dough from Timothy Presley Okay, 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? First thing you're gonna get you're gonna get the num chucks, right? You kind of get that you're gonna get the gimmick, which is basically a Magic wand that is also a pair of num chucks And it's pretty much made from a really thin pool noodle tube and the piece of black rope You're also gonna get two pages of printed tight Instruction and that's it two pages of printed type instruction. Is it well made the prop is pretty well made For what it is. I was surprised at how lightweight it was It doesn't feel that Costly or that hard to make holding it in your hands Like I said, it kind of feels like the same material that you would get a pool noodle tube from those flotation devices White duck electrical tape around the ends and then a piece of black rope That's pretty much it. I mean I flipped with it a couple times. I did it a small routine for One of my magic classes and I didn't have any problem using it. It didn't break so it seemed to be well made All right, so is it well taught? Okay, so here's my thing, you know in the day and age where making a video Instruction is extremely easy. I mean I make a video every single day So I know that making a video is not that difficult and Timothy Presley actually made a commercial You know that we just saw so clearly There is that capability plus on top of that in the video you do see The routine shown a little bit that he teaches you with the banana So there is a banana trick of like a three-minute trick included that is taught in the instructions But none of that is given to you in video form. It's all given to you in the guys of you know typed out instructions And I just think you know what? It's just so easy to make a video nowadays It's so easy just to upload it to a server and have people download it It's a very simple procedure and I think in this day and age that's kind of what we all expect and to get Something that is just printed paper just feels a little phoned in That and that's just me But I mean obviously the footage is there to show you what the routine looks like so that would have been easy And then maybe just a couple of segments with Timothy talking to you about handling and care And maybe some advice that he's given when picking volunteers to hold the banana or you know how to open the banana or anything I think would have been helpful and to kind of just boost up the quality of the product And to increase the value for those who purchase it Positives all right. So what are the positives to Taiwan dough? Timothy Presley has come up with a very silly and very fun prop that is sure to be a hit at parties Negatives all right. So what are the negatives to this? You know like we say around here There's negatives to everything. These are just the negatives that I see they don't have to be the negatives that you see I've had Experience being in front of kids. I've had experience being silly and self-deprecating in front of kids So this is an okay thing for me, but just for me for you know, 20 bucks I'd expect the consumer to get just a little bit more bang for their buck. All right, so who would like this? I think people that do children's parties, of course Or somebody who's looking to do a children's party This is an easy gag to get and to do you don't have to be a magician To do this effect at all you don't have to have any experience at magic to do this at all It's purely a gag And so I think that if you're even a schoolteacher and you want to do something like this for a science class or maybe a science Experiment involving a banana. I think this would be a great routine. Is it worth your money? You know like I said 20 bucks it probably covers the cost of the material and to get it out there I just felt like you know to give the consumer a little bit more value for their money a Video download probably would have been helpful. I said it's my review for Taiwan dough from Timothy Presley As always I want to thank Murphy's magic for supplying this trick for me so that I could do the review for you And if you'd like to purchase it for yourself, you can find it from your favorite Murphy's magic dealer. Thanks. Bye
