Mind Boggling Comedy Magic With A Plan!Larry Davidson has been refining his performances for over 30 years. âScripted Insanityâ documents his approach to professional performance. Larry is a true type âAâ 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. Scriptingâ¦Motivationâ¦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 youâll soon be adding Larryâs routines into your repertoire!
While the performances are truly outstanding, Larryâs 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 âITâ. Larry not only tells you how to do it, but clearly explains WHY he decided to do it the way he does. Itâs obvious that heâs spent zillions of hours ironing out the tiniest detail in his working repertoire. Youâll 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 youâll soon see why this DVD set is really a master class.
Half & Hole - This eye-popping transposition of a half dollar and a Chinese coin with a hole through it is a real worker's dream. Non-stop action with visuals that will leave them with open jaws!
Big Mystery - This is Larryâs handling of John Kennedyâs superb marketed effect âThe Mystery Boxâ. Many professionals have asked permission to perform this routine, but until now Larry has selfishly kept it to himself. Itâs the bombâ¦quick, explosive and memorable!
Money In their Hand - This is Larryâs handling of Derek Dingles âSilver Quickâ. Itâs a real workhorse for table-hoppers. It happens in the spectatorâs hands and is always ready to go. Dynamite in a very small package!
808 - Why is it called â808â? Because itâs Larryâs favorite card routine and the classic Bike decks have â808â on the Joker. The routine has three phases that just keep getting stronger. Cards are not chosen but just named and the revelations are simply staggering!
Square Dance - This has been in Larryâs repertoire for more than 30 years. Itâs an anytime, anywhere production of four coins that puts you in perfect position to perform Translocation, Chink-a-Chink or Matrix. Hey, if it hasnât been improved in 30 years itâs perfect!
Translocation - A longtime John Kennedy classic, Translocation should be in every close up magician's arsenal. Longtime friends, Larry and John swapped material during the Brook Farm Inn of Magic years. Unfortunately, Larryâs memory failed him when John taught him Translocation. This offshoot is the result. Some very nice touches!
Blown Away - This is actually the third part of the coin trilogy. Itâs very fast paced and is the perfect complement to finish off whatâs left of the spectatorâs minds after witnessing âSquare Danceâ and âTranslocationâ. Itâs very easy to do, but perfect to âseal the dealâ.
Sponge Larry Roundpants - We all have a sponge routine, either the bunnies or the balls. We all know they play great. Larryâs routine is just a bit risqué but it leaves them with cramped stomach muscles from laughing so hard. Even if you're working for a corporate or family audience youâll learn many tips that will certainly up the level of your current routine. But if you do it word for word youâll be hooked. Itâs a riot.
Bonus Essays - on Scripting, Motivation and Rehearsal. Larryâs insights are based on performing for thousands of people in his career. He shares his thoughts in extreme detail. This is extremely valuable information thatâs usually glossed over!

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character.
*****SPOILERS*****
Pros:
The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits.
Cons:
Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks.
The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back.
*****
As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short.
Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
