An amazing and entertaining complete performance piece that isn’t your ordinary card trick, coin trick, or mentalism effect. “The Long and Short of It” by David Regal is the baffling and unique showpiece you’ve been searching for.
“The Long and Short of It” is David Regal’s magically explosive new take on the classic boomerang illusion. It’s 3+ minutes of pure fun that is overflowing with astonishment and can be customized to suit any performer or any audience. This is the one effect David Regal looked forward to most when performing at the Magic Castle.
By integrating new elements into this iconic concept, David Regal has transformed a simple illusion into an incredible routine filled with tons of magic and comedy potential. It’s suitable for audiences of any age and fills every room with gasps and laughter. Everyone just loves watching as these beautiful wood pieces seemingly change size and color combinations.
While David’s signature routine often revolves around “classic architecture techniques”, you can theme your “Long and Short of It” routine around anything you’d like such as:
The gorgeous custom-crafted, super-bright props are easy to use and can be seen from long distances. They offer endless presentation possibilities and work in both close-up magic and parlor magic shows. Everything comes secured in an elegant carrying pouch.
Great props, great routine. You really only need to watch the tutorial a few times to get the hang of it. I’ve also found that if you get “stuck” in the middle of your routine (like suddenly forgetting where you are), it’s pretty easy to wing your way out of it - just keep going and let the props guide you. It’s amazing how the props naturally support you along the way and will trigger on-the-spot ideas that seamlessly integrate into your presentation. Perhaps not so surprisingly, your presentation can magically become shorter or longer as you wish to to suit your needs at any moment. Then whenever you’re ready, go into the climax. Very happy!
I enjoyed it because it is so visual. One person said, "it's an optical illusion." It truly is. Very easy to master and it's fun to perform. Whether you perform it for children or adults, it's fun for all.

Patrick asks: Is it possible to change the writings in another language?
Rick asks: I know it says it will work for parlour - but you need a table for people to look down on the trick - yes? In other words there is not a variation in the instructions to do this standing without a table as shown.
Rod asks: How long are these in cm ? I like to add this to a walkabout for a bar but the tables aren’t very big! Thanks
Matthew asks: How long is the tutorial and does David teach alternative presentations? Many thanks
Douglas asks: If instructions/presentations are provided, are they provided on DVD or via downloads or streaming?
