Grab That Pinhead! Is impossible magic that happens right under their noses, literally! Imagine taking two ordinary metal safety pins and causing them to melt through each other, linking and unlinking again and again and again, even in the spectator's hands.

Dan Garrett's ultimate version of the classic linking pins uses ordinary pins to recreate effects heretofore only possible with the Andrus linking pin gimmick. Bob Sheets adds his own thoughts and moves and laugh lines to Dan's routine, as Bob has performed on TV. You'll see two ultimate versions of honed over 25 years and hundreds of real-life performances.

Grab That Pinhead! Is a tour-de-force close-up masterpiece that you can carry in your pocket, perform anytime and anywhere, and really pack a punch with any audience.

If you've ever wanted to learn a linking safety pin routine, this DVD will be your savior. It's clear from watching Bob Sheets and Dan Garrett that these two guys are buddies, and both have been performing their safety pin routines for years and years. Their handling is smooth and effortless; and it looks like real magic, so this disc will serve you well as you try to emulate their demonstrations.

Dan teaches his famous "Pindemonium" routine, and this DVD is a great way to learn it. It's much better described than the questionable Dreamweaver routine, and you also get a full routine by Bob Sheets.

I'm not a big fan of the one-trick DVD trend, but if all such products included two veteran performers giving you hard won and well-honed routines, as this one does, I'd be less concerned about it. The DVD could be improved—the discussion is a little stream-of-consciousness—but despite some little flaws it's a focused, effective learning tool. And I'm betting that re-releasing the trick in this form will prevent it from being overlooked by those new to magic.
