Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Something To Believe In by Poison
Scott Alexander is a guy I've never heard off until a friend of mine Jim Spinnato turned me on to him. I've gotta say, I'm hooked.
The 10 O'Clock show is loaded with some great material. There's a mix of close-up and parlor magic on here. His effect, Sense of Color, is one of the most beautiful routines I've seen. It's a visually amazing color changing silk routine with an unbelievable kicker at the end.
I'd have to say that Nailed is my favorite piece. It's basically Tim the Tool Man meets mentalism, and it turns a simple card trick into a full on stage production. He's got effects on here using Jacks (the old ball and jacks game from when you were a kid). There are several incredible utility moves. In fact, a move from Jumping Jacks helped me work out the kinks on a move I was developing.
Scott's handling of Cigarette in Coat with matches instead of cigarettes is a killer. The list goes on and on and on. Trust me on this guys (and gals) this one is a GEM! Get it!
Final Verdict:
4 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM.

trying to find info on Nailed by scott alexander
is it as good as it looks or is it video magic
@Barnaby – Thanks for the comment. If it were fake or video magic, I wouldn’t have given it such a great review, and I certainly wouldn’t have referred to it as my favorite. 🙂
