Duct Tape Blindfold Today!
Kenton's own unique Duct Tape Blindfold Method fully revealed at last!
PLUS
Kenton's incredible Blindfolded Three Card Discovery with three free selections, found while blindfolded !
Details:
Kenton's unique blindfold method uses legitimate gaffer's or duct tape. This tape is universally acknowledged as the strongest tape known to man.
This can be performed entirely impromptu. No preparation of the tape. The performer can act as if legitimately blindfolded because the performer actually cannot see... until desired. The performer can be blind or see in an instant, at any time, without touching the blindfold at all.
This blindfold is as real as it gets!
The audience will wince and some nearly faint as the performer slowly removes the duct tape blindfold from his eyes. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that it would be impossible to see.
Now Get This:
NO Nose peeks.
NO Seeing through the tape.
The eyes, nose and even mouth may be taped (as long as there is enough of a hole to keep breathing easily!) and yet Kenton's Blindfold can still be used for:
*Drawing Duplications
*Determining audience members
*Naming number of fingers held up by a spectator
*Determining who is "Queen For The Day" or the "Guilty" party
*Unlimited routines and effects will come to you once you learn Kenton's secrets with his original Blindfold creation.
Unlike other versions, the performer can look straight down to the ground and Kenton's Blindfold will still allow the performer to see writing, people and more easily.
It's all very simple and direct - the sort of devious solution you would expect from Kenton.
Note: While this special blindfold has endless applications it is not suggested for use in a blindfold drive.
PLUS
Kenton's 3 Card Blindfold Location routine is tipped in its entirety for the first time ever.
This routine and original method has blown pros away for years. Kenton's secret was mentioned only in part previously, causing a slew of supposed creations and imitations by others who did not know the true secret. The result was inferior gimmicks and difficult moves never needed in Kenton's original work.
3 freely selected cards are shuffled into the deck, while the performer is legitimately blindfolded. The performer truly cannot see. The deck is actually shuffled and cut - NO false shuffles, finger breaks, etc.
Still... The performer finds all three cards, handing each to the proper person WHILE BLINDFOLDED, even causing one card to change to another's spectator's card in their own hands, while the original card ends up in the performer's pocket... all while legitimately BLINDFOLDED... and with no palming required!
This is pure Kenton. You can even name a card during the revelations, although no card is forced and you really cannot see the card. Yes, there is a gimmick, but it is easily made and Kenton's original method will clean up loads of other card work and card gimmicks you have purchased from others too. Combine this with Kenton's Blindfold and you can hand the correct cards to people in a row who mix themselves around freely too.
Get Kenton's ORIGINAL method and see for yourself why all other imitations never could come close.
Remember: This 3 Card Blindfolded Location is in addition to the explanation of Kenton's Original Duct Tape Blindfold method. You get the full work on BOTH the 3 Card Blindfold Routine AND Kenton's Original Blindfold Method on this one DVD.
Performers, amateurs, mentalists and magicians alike have been floored by these presentations. When they learn the inside work, they are even more impressed with the direct, simple and practical solutions Kenton has created.
We know you too will be scratching your head and then smiling a wry smile of glee as you learn at last...
Kenton's Duct Tape Blindfold secrets
(This is shot in live performance so you can see actual reactions. Additional information and applications are included. Priced to stay out of the hands of the common curiosity seeker.)
How strong is just the mere suggestion of duct tape as true security in real life? The U.S. Government issued the suggestion of using DUCT TAPE to tape up doorways to be safe and secure from a chemical attack!
Another example:
Question. Besides The Force from Star Wars, what has a light side and a dark side and holds the Universe together? Answer? Duct tape!
From a science store: "Nuclear physicists speak of five fundamental forces: weak, strong, electromagnetic, gravity, and duct tape."
These sorts of comments from daily life are in the back of the minds of audiences, continually suggesting that duct tape is the most secure material well-known and familiar to us. Imagine then how much more power there is in a blindfold of duct tape versus a cloth blindfold or unnatural metal one!
Kenton has taken assumptions and suggestion and made them his favorite blindfold. We think it will be one of your all-time favorites too.
This devious secret is simple and easy to perform. The power and believability of it however is beyond compare.
THE PERFECT AND BELIEVABLE SOLUTION FOR REALISTIC MENTALISM WITH BLINDFOLDS AT LAST.

Overview
Overall, I think 3 stars is a fair rating on this one. You do get quite a chunk of material. The "running" part (before you press play) shows Kenton wandering about a grassy area, wearing a hood. It looks a bit absurd, but I am nitpicking just a bit.He really missed some important beats in the performance segment. I think he was lecturing at magic club, based on some of his comments, but that is no excuse for a lackluster performance. He does, in my opinion, largely make up for it in his teaching section. The trick is MOST excellent: you just have to sell it correctly, though. This would not be a bad addition to your library.
Effect
While the performer did not properly hit important beats well while performing, the trick itself is good. Again, in the performance on THIS DVD, his performance was awkward and poorly delivered.Method
The method is really about "handling" as-it-were: the duct tape, the cards and the spectators. It isn't difficult AND he tips in some very valuable extra handlings and general tips -- that increased my rating. You will get a great deal for your money (assuming you do not overpay for this product).Product Quality
The case, the DVD and the production quality are good. The audio is a hair loud at times. The 'chapters' are set up nicely and there is a lot of material here, generally speaking.Ad Copy Integrity
Fairly solid, overall. It is a multi-choice card bit, using 3 spectators. As noted, there is a lot of duct tape blindfold stuff here that you might utilize down the road.Suggestions
If you handle yourself...the delivery, the setup etc. well, this can hit hard! This is not kiddie material, for some kids might enjoy it.(Top ▲)
Duct Tape Blindfold by Kenton Knepper is a single DVD on performing a blind fold routine with just a roll of duct tape. You won’t have any problems following the instructions but the quality of the DVD production is only fair.
Kenton’s beginning on this DVD shows him wandering around in what looks like his front yard with a cloth bag over his head. He walked around and avoided trees that were in his path. This looked a little ridiculous and did not endear me to this DVD at the beginning. It somehow looked too contrived and silly.
Kenton starts the DVD with a live performance. I always like that and find it to be an added bonus. However, it was evident that this was not an act he practiced a great deal. He had problems with blocking, controlling the spectators, and scripting. Everything worked, but it looked clumsy.
His method is different than what you will normally find in books and DVD’s that discuss blindfolds. If you are looking to add a blindfold routine, it would be worth your money to take a look at this method along with others. It has its distinct advantages and disadvantages like any method.
Kenton demonstrates through live performance some various applications that a blindfold act can be used for. If you have been doing your research on blind fold acts you will not be surprised by any of the applications he shows as they are pretty standard. It was nice to add them to the DVD, however. My problem was that it did not seem like Kenton rehearsed these methods. Once again the performance looked clumsy. At one time he holds up a dry erase board to hide his head from the audience to get the peek. That move and the line he used for cover simply looked too dirty for any reasonably intelligent audience.
His instructions on how to set up and use the method are clear and you will have no problem understanding how to perform this piece.
Kenton also demonstrates a card routine on the DVD while blindfolded. The method is clever but again the routine is clumsy. He has three people select cards and then finds them while blindfolded. My problem with this routine was that there were unmotivated and illogical moves within the confines of the revelations. At one point he shows a card that appears to be wrong and puts it in his pocket. Why? Well, there is a reason for this methodology wise but not performance wise. It was just awkward.
