Well hello! So, if you’re like me you’ve got these things called loops on you at all times. And you may have come up with some cool little quick handlings to use. But did you know that just recently, the world’s greatest Loops handlers have released 3 DVD’s giving the full work and thoughts behind all their routines. Finn Jon and Yigal Mesika have released Loops The 2 DVD Set and Reflections.

  The 2 DVD set has Finn Jon performing (which is a hoot to see a grand master of the art in a casual setting) some of his most prized levitation’s and animations using Loops. Then he sits down and tells anecdotes and thinking behind a lot of the routines. It’s a fascinating look inside the mind of one of the most interesting characters in magic.

  Then Yigal Mesika performs for a group of people. It’s great to see him sitting on a couch surrounded by folks and doing a 15 minute act with nothing more than some everyday items and his trusty Loops. Then we sit down again and hear these gentleman talk candidly about their experiences with Loops over the years.

Effects explained on this 2 DVD set include:

Floating Cigarette
Bending Knife
Floating Bubble
Jumping Bill
PK Touch
Floating Card
Phenomenal Fork
World’s Best Haunted Pack
Floating Ring
The Force
Floating Bill
Mystery Glasses

  You also get a handy credit card looking thing to safely store your loops on. So now you can keep extras in your wallet or pocket and not have to ever worry about getting caught without your Loops. I love it!

And released as a sequel to these DVD’s is Reflections. We join Yigal and Finn as they explain the secrets behind:

Jumping Cigarette
Boomerang Card
One-hand Floating Bill                                                                  
Spinning Bulb
Secret Loop Move                                                     

  These 3 DVD’s are by far the definitive word on the practice and theory of performing with Loops. The surprising thing is that I enjoyed hearing about the history and the stories that these men told more so than learning the actual tricks. Fascinating stuff.

  If you’ve seen these or have any questions, leave a comment and let me know what you think!
