Shrapnel by Kim Andersen Review

[@MexieMex]

I've got some custom pins that I had made up a while back that are really ornate, anybody worrying about using 'normal' pins at posh events may want to consider this.

[@EverythingMagicPro99]

Absolutely, Mex. I asked Kim if there were any plans to release gold pins or anything more fancy but he said no.

@@EverythingMagicPro99 The gimmicks are really easy to make. Ideally you'd get a jeweller to make them, but they can be made DIY. I can't really go into detail here without revealing the method, but if anybody is interested, feel free to contact me and I can give more detailed instructions, or even get them made up for you (my wife is a silversmith).

@@MexieMexI would love to get more information on how to make it myself if you’d wouldn’t mind sharing.

I just discovered your channel. I like your in-depth reviews. I have now watched a few of your reviews. I haven't seen you perform any tricks yet. I would like to see your performance style.

[@EverythingMagicPro99]

I don’t really have time to go out and film performances in the real world. I’m also quite anti-social media, so I don’t like filming when I’m performing.

[@robjacks2748]

@@EverythingMagicPro99 I understand that you don't have time to film "real" performances but a demo of the trick would be nice. Let us be the real audience. I don't understand your anti-social media statement. After all you have your own KZbin channel. Appreciate your quick reply.

What I mean is I very much dislike social media and being on it. I dislike magic being perform online. Besides my reviews I don’t use social media. I event don’t post much on the social media accounts for my business. To me, magic is a special art form and not something that people should be able to watch over and over again on the internet.

[@robjacks2748]

@@EverythingMagicPro99 I totally agree, magic should not be "just"for social media. It needs to be seen live or on Penn and Teller.

[@funjuror]

I don't see the point; it has to be switched out for examination( and a spectator will want a close look). A borrowed ring and lace achieve so much more, and the ring can vanish and reappear in some impossible location without not a lot of skill to do. For me just carry a lace and my trusty JOL (with a sealed envelope)

[@EverythingMagicPro99]

That’s the beauty of life; not everyone is the same. It’s good that we all have different tricks and routines. Ring and string is perfectly good as is Shrapnel.

[@thestreet9537]

Nearly every gimmick has a classic foundation. The beauty of these gimmicks is you can do a classic effect like ring on string and immediately move to something like this for the next table. You can literally achieve the same effect in a different presentation and that guy who said show my friends wouldn’t be the wiser. Smilesotheylikeyou

[@m0nk3yl0v3r]

oh no, a magician has to do a switch... whatever next...

[@funjuror]

@@m0nk3yl0v3r Of course, magicians use switches, and I can't see another means of performing Omni Deck, but why switch when there is no need? (but your remark was aimed at sarcasm)

[@warriorpoet8119]

Bill, This is a nice trick. Think of all the magic that does the same thing. Crazy Man’s Handcuffs, Pen Thru Dollar, coin thru deck all basically do the same thing Solid through solid however everyone has a different style, Maybe someone doesn’t carry rubber-bands, maybe I don’t carry a string it’s not wrong and the switch is super easy. Maybe it’s not for you but keep in mind we all perform differently.
