After over 30 years of performing, Larry Davidson knows a thing or two about magic. "SCRIPTED Insanity" is a peek into his professional playbook. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be a performer, you might want to take notes from a true type "A" personality. Larry has poured thousands of hours into perfecting his craft, and now he's ready to share that wisdom with you.
In this enlightening romp, Larry dives deep into the three essential ingredients every performer needs to turn their material into a professional-level masterpiece: Scripting... Motivation... Rehearsal. Sounds simple, right? Well, it’s not! But with Larry's guidance, you'll be on your way to showing off polished routines that’ll have your audience roaring (in a good way).
Volumes 1 and 2 were shot live, and trust me, the applause isn’t fake (although it might make you a bit jealous). These routines are not just pipe dreams; they’re solid, practical pieces that combine clever methods with top-notch presentation. You’ll be itching to slip Larry’s gems into your own shows in no time!
Now, while the performances are undeniably brilliant, it’s Larry's explanations that really steal the show. Forget those glossed-over “just do this” instructions. Larry doesn’t just tell you how to do it; he breaks down the why behind every choice. It’s clear he’s spent zillions of hours perfecting every tiny detail. And you’ll be amazed at why he chooses to say what he says and how he says it. With his body language, nuanced touches, and all the little tricks that often get left out, you’ll quickly see why this DVD set is basically a masterclass in magic. Each DVD runs for just over two hours, so get comfy.
