Card To Pocket by Daniel Madison
I was gonna do a video rant about this, but because I'm sick and I lost my voice here you go with a written version.
The culprit: The new trailer for the card to pocket routine by Daniel Madison. Without further undue, here is the trailer.
Breath in and out, in and out. And repeat after me. This trailer is so flawed, so amazingly flawed. It could possibly be the worst magic trailer of all time.
Here are some points:
1. Madison says that this is usually the only card effect he ever performs! Really, so all of his other releases are rubbish? Way to start a trailer by indirectly down talking your own "achievements" in the past.
2. Could they possibly pick a worse spectator? The first lady looks like a whore of the street. In fact the whole setting is dirty and unsettling. It just feels like the neighborhood you don't wanna be in. Great, sell you product by advertising it by having it sticking out a pile of shit!
3. The audience reaction s to this supposed show stopper and reputation maker is piss poor. Yes this may be a real life reaction but this has nothing to do in an advertising video.
4. The camera doesn't know where to point the focus.
5. The routine itself (that little that is show) is horribly constructed. The spectators are instructed to do weird things and they obviously have trouble deciphering the mumblings of Daniel Madison.
The problem does not come from the incompetence of the makers of the video. They clearly know how to shoot a video and how to sell magic. This is clearly a directorial decision. Sure there are plenty of worse video out there, but the badness comes from technical inabilities or from a gross misunderstanding of either magic or marketing. If this piece of trash routine is supposed to be the crowning go to routine of Daniel Madison then I clearly wonder about his state of mind.
And what is it about the look of Daniel Madison. I get the hipster influence, but this is taking it to far. He is so fucking mainstream that his inability to understand current trends shows. The whole trailer gives me the creeps. There is some unsettling disease ridden quality to it. Who the fuck is the target audience? Kids? Hardly! Young gangsters maybe!
And name dropping your own name... that is a new low. Either that or he is a Pokemon!

Has it come to this?
I'm unable to tell if this is satire or a real attempt to sell magic. Both paths seem to be leading to a dead end.

The content of this blog has been rather thin lately. It seems like the maker of this blog has real world issues, that make it hard to post ONCE a week. Stupid fucker.
So let's fill this blog with meaningless stats! Search Keywords!

What does Tom Mullica and "death" have to do there. That scares me a bit.
