Scripted Insanity Volume 2 by Larry Davidson

Larry Davidson has been refining his performances for over 30 years. "SCRIPTED Insanity" documents his approach to professional performance. Larry is a true type "A" personality. He has spent thousands of hours developing his material to a very high level of perfection in every aspect of live performance.

This knowledge is being passed on to you. Larry covers in detail the three major tools every performer needs to refine their material to a true professional performance level. Scripting...Motivation...Rehearsal.

Both Volume 1 & 2 are shot before a live audience that roars their approval. The routines are not pipe dreams but polished performance pieces that use practical methods combined with outstanding presentations. No doubt that you'll soon be adding Larry's routines into your repertoire!

While the performances are truly outstanding, Larry's explanations go into incredible detail covering all of the aspects of his work. Usually you just get a glossed over bare bones description of how to do "IT". Larry not only tells you how to do it, but clearly explains WHY he decided to do it the way he does. It's obvious that he's spent zillions of hours ironing out the tiniest detail in his working repertoire. You'll also be astonished to see why Larry has chosen to say not only what he says but why he says it. Combine this with his touches, body motions and in general all the little things that are normally left out and you'll soon see why this DVD set is really a master class. Both DVD's have a running time of well over two hours.

Dad's Deck - Simply a brilliant presentation for the classic "Haunted Deck". But it's much more than that as Larry has developed without question the most practical version for workers EVER! Why...here's a hint...yes, there's thread involved...it's the easiest handling EVER. It resets instantly after each performance. And if that's not enough puzzle me this Batman. The thread's not hooked up to you, but it's in your pocket always ready to go! And yet you do the diabolical dirty work right in front of them. Simply one of the best thread handlings if you're a pro or a newbie.

Kitchen Sink - This takes Larry's work from "Dad's Deck" and expands the effect to even greater heights...if that's possible. It's a top shelf fooler! I'll leave the effect as a surprise.

Cut Above The Rest - Imagine the Color Changing Knives vs. Knife Through Coat giving birth to Baby Knives. Need I say more? Laughs abound, applause deafens, eyes blink...hard. What more could you ask for?

Relaxation Principle - Finally a presentation for the classic plot of "Card To Pocket" that makes sense and at the same time provides a comedy vehicle that cracks up the crowd with a jolt!

Vapor - Manipulation maniacs will love this one. It's a vanish/reproduction sequence with a surprise ending. It's as difficult to figure out as Chinese arithmetic.

Pearl The Poodle - If you're looking for a way to increase tips at your shows or meet that special someone at the bar, Pearl is the answer. She'll open the doors to their hearts and wallets fooling them along the way. You'd have to be crazy to pass this routine up! Pooper Scooper not included!

High Rise - Give credit to Jeff McBride for creating his masterpiece "Kundalini Rising". It's a rising card while the spectator holds the deck. Larry has improved the handling with a different gimmick and the added mystery of not having the card selected but JUST NAMED. It can be done totally surrounded!

Nice Butt - If Syldini had to do a torn and restored cigarette STANDING this would be the version he'd use. A classic quickie, visually stunning with a couple of big laughs!

Bonus Essays - on Scripting, Motivation and Rehearsal. Larry's insights are based on performing for thousands of people in his career. He shares his thoughts in extreme detail. This is extremely valuable information that's usually glossed over!
