Kozmo Magic
(Based on 2 reviews)
On this 2 DVD set you will learn the real secrets about how to stop, build and collect. You will learn the importance of that first routine, how to choose the routines to use in your show, theory on building and keeping the audience. All the answers are here. This 2 DVD set will teach you the entire magic in my show that has earned me a great living for years and years!
The Magic:
-"The One Coin Routine": A great way to stop the first group.
-"The Coins Across and Coins to Cup Routine": A Terrific Modular routine that is perfect for building.
-"The World's Greatest Card Trick": A Very Entertaining Routine that becomes a Spectacle.
-"Johnny Carson's Favorite Trick" : This is my Chop Cup Bill to Lemon routine that just kills audiences.
"In Addition to this, Danny Hustle has a long conversation with me about the Does and Don'ts of the streets!
The question is, how does a guy who's a little funny and does some pretty good magic, make a great living in this most challenging environment? the answers are all here!" - Kozmo
"Performance is always about the audience, but being able to gather and energize an audience is a First Principle that Koz understands in spades. He not only draws audiences into his sunny lair of hilarity, he holds them captive until they have totally surrendered. This is because he knows at gut-level the a"about-ness" of magic, as well. I watched him work the hard-scrabble streets of the Big Easy. He is the best I've seen in the trenches, bar none!" - Jon Racherbaumer
Disc One Running Time Approximately 2hr 15min

PROS
This is a great two DVD set for anyone interested in street magic or even anyone interested in the psychology of crowds and people in general.
The instruction is excellent and the interview is very good. You will see Kozmo performing on the streets and explaining it on the set.
The bloopers section is hilarious. The interviewer is excellent.
Seeing this DVD was inspiring. What I really like is how you will see a regular guy who has been very successful performing on the streets. He is not over the top and he doesn’t have any special quality that can’t be learned. Some performers have a certain quality because of their unusual accent, or some other quality that is who they are, not something you can learn. Kozmo is a regular guy like a thousand others, but unlike a thousand others, he has honed his craft very well.
CONS
This is not a DVD about the latest gimmick. However, he does explain every part of what he does and the props involved.
VERDICT
This is a must have DVD for anyone interested in street magic or how to work a crowd. This is, in my opinion, the best DVD of it’s kind.

Tales from the Street is a two DVD set from Kozmo. Kozmo is the guy that has brought you “Reel Magic Magazine” and host of other outstanding magic DVDs. If you don’t know who Kozmo is, he is the best street performer you don’t know. Kozmo has made his living working the streets. His ability to draw a crowd, manage them, and get the money is outstanding.
The first disk of the set explains how to work the streets. It takes you step by step through the process of stopping the first person, building a crowd, holding them, educating them about giving money, creating connections to the audience to make it personal, and then getting the money. This is a master class in working the street. I do not perform street magic and have not aspirations to do so, however, I learned a great deal about audience management from Kozmo as he gives his theories and real world experience about audience management.
Another thing that makes this disk amazing is the editing. As Kozmo talks about what he does on the street you are given real world video of him doing precisely what he is saying. This is not some DVD of a guy talking about theory and you wondering if it works or what it would look like. You get to see exactly what it looks like in the real world! No studio audiences, no girlfriends, no doing it for the camera in your kitchen . . . . this is the real stuff.
The DVDs are absolutely first class, the editing, camera work, and layout are fantastic.
The second DVD is Kosmo giving you his act. I can’t believe this! This is a working pro’s act from beginning to end. Seriously, I believe this DVD set to be worth 10x the amount that Kozmo is charging. You could make a career for the rest of your life by doing what Kozmo has taught and then performing his act. I can only wonder why Kozmo has tipped so much for so little on this two DVD set.
Highly Recommended.
