Get ready for a side-splitting cavalcade of magic and mayhem with this DVD, which captures the essence of a comedy club show that’s as funny as it is magical—all conveniently fitting into your briefcase. While the material leans towards adult humour (because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good laugh with a cheeky twist?), there’s a smorgasbord of tricks and japes that’ll keep magicians of every stripe grinning from ear to ear.
Dan kicks things off with "Snort Wax," where he not only vanishes a massive candle but also reveals the secret—by apparently snorting it up his nose. After that, brace yourself for a riotous sequence of playing card shenanigans that culminates in a quirky take on the classic comedy card effect, where the entire audience seems to read a spectator's mind (spoiler: it’s not as easy as it sounds!). Harlan wraps up the first act with the "World's Saddest Trick," a hilariously heart-wrenching handkerchief vanish.
Next up, Dan tackles what happens when you chew two sweets at once in "Professor Mouthcoil," leading to a ludicrous production of colourful paper from his gob. Then, it’s time for a bit of mindreading, where his prediction of a randomly named grocery item goes awry—only to have him produce the actual item from his bag. Just when you think you’ve got the hang of it, he pulls off an impossible vanish of the grocery item, leaving the audience reeling (seriously, what just happened?). In "Short and Long," he spices up a classic routine, the Professor's Nightmare, with a cheeky presentation that’ll have you chuckling.
Then there’s "Burnt to the Core," where a borrowed twenty dollar bill gets its corner torn off and, after some witty banter with an audience member, is found intact in a knotted handkerchief (and yes, the corner matches!). Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more ridiculous, the bill vanishes again—only to reappear in a small piece of rope that the spectator has had in their pocket the whole time (because why not?).
Finally, brace yourself for "Cheez Wiz," a comedic masterpiece that’s nothing short of a revelation. Harlan attempts the classic Card Between Panes of Glass trick, but—oops—no glass and no cards. What does he use instead? Slices of bread and cheese, of course! Watch as a spectator “signs” the chosen “card” with a condiment before it vanishes—using, you guessed it, a banana. It’s the perfect finale to a show that’s equal parts hilarious and jaw-dropping.
So sit back and enjoy the hilarity, then prepare to learn the secrets of a master. Soon enough, you’ll be the one packing small and playing big!
