Don F.—“You have changed my life as a retired Vietnam Vet. I never thought I would be able to come out from behind these locked doors and closed curtains and get out of the shell I was in. I've been able to enjoy meeting people again because of you. You've made a wonderful difference in my life and family and I will be forever indebted to you. You are a contribution to this world we live in.”
Christine M.—"I have a fourteen-year-old boy who is very shy, and he learned the tricks on the JawDroppers videos. Now I see him doing tricks for the neighbors, standing in front of a whole group. He does them at church... at Scouts. I can't believe it. I can't believe it's my boy. I think, 'Wow, magic has given him something really special to make him feel think he can do something that nobody else can.'"
Tracy R.—"Magic is captivating. It's intriguing. And it's mysterious. What a great icebreaker to have some guy you just met do a magic trick. It just kind of breaks down the walls and barriers... you laugh and it's so much fun. Hey guys, if you want to make a great impression, do magic."
Dr. Jack M.—"I use JawDroppers in my dental office. When patients and children come in to see me they’re often nervous. So I show them a little trick, and they lose a little bit of the anxiety which makes my job so much easier. One trick I really love is the cut & restored string. Except I use dental floss, and it works real well."
Paul L.—"At my age, I can't run around with the kids. And I can't play ball with them. And I can't get down and get rough with them. But I can do Larry's JawDroppers and they love it. They’re fascinated. I'm the new star at the kindergarten school. Doing tricks for the kids, I feel young again."
Wade L.—"One thing Larry really is good at teaching you is the showmanship aspect and how to sell the trick. It's pretty cool to know that I can do some magic. It's not like, 'Oh here's Wade, he's going to do another stupid magic trick.' It's, 'Hey Wade, show us another trick!' The first time I ever did a trick on somebody it worked. And I just get better and better."
Bob S.—"One of the things I love about JawDroppers is that you don't need a pocket full of props. It's a great feeling to see how wide-eyed people get…age 8 to 80 it doesn't matter. When you fool them, you fool them and you always get that reaction...I mean, I know where they got the name JawDroppers; the jaw literally drops."
Jonathon S.—"When I was a kid I learned magic the hard way -- sending away for tricks and then trying to figure out from the diagrams how it's supposed to be done. The JawDroppers videos are actually brilliant. You can watch the performance of what the trick actually looks like. And then Larry shows you step-by-step exactly how to DO the trick. It's easy when you learn it that way."
"On one occasion in a real estate negotiation, a man backed out of the process just because he felt that pressure. I said, ‘Let's take a break’. I did a couple of magic tricks, he got a little bit more comfortable, and that particular transaction came together. Now what was that worth? About $3,000 to me, and I credit it to magic."
Andy W.—"I showed my eight-year-old son how to do the seven-penny trick, and he showed it to his six-year-old brother, Christopher. Now they're both having a blast with it. JawDroppers are easy to do and very fun."
Mark A.—."I was amazed at how easy these tricks were. The nice thing about it is the way Larry teaches you how to perform the tricks and throws little jokes in there and things like that. It's so easy that anybody can look around their kitchen, their living room…and just grab something and do a trick.
I did a trick for my five-year-old nephew and it made me feel so happy to see his eyes light up and to see his reaction. Magic is fun, and performing it is fun. But to do something for someone you love and you care about gives me a great feeling. "
Jimmy G.—"JawDroppers uses everyday items. A toothpick, a drinking straw, coins, a cigarette…things that are right there. When I see children’s faces light up, it makes me feel good. I really enjoy it and I can't wait for another day."
Jack B.—"I recently tried the JawDroppers trick with the cigarette that magically moves, and it really impressed my client. It's a very good way to break the ice and people pick up on your confidence. I can take a simple trick that I've learned in the videos, show it to a client and all of a sudden we establish an instant rapport."
I've learned I can be in just about any situation and pick up a couple of common items and do some fantastic trick that really impresses people. Before a group when you need to start a speech or a talk or something, you might tell a joke but sometimes that's not funny to everyone. But when you do a magic trick, it's a universally acceptable way of breaking the ice."
Harold S.—"Some of greatest little secrets of magic are on these videos. And the thing about the way Larry presents them is that it's entertaining to watch, plus you've learned something. The information sinks in. And they're simple too."
"Magic has the ability to make people think, 'Wow, you're something else.' I had a client, who fell in love with the fact that I did magic so much that she hired me over and over again for her jobs. That turned into some big bucks!"
Phil B.—"The beauty of these videos is that you clearly see Larry's performance of a trick and then right afterward, the explanation. It's like having private magic lessons right in your own home."
"When you see the looks on people’s faces standing there with their mouths open going, 'What? What!?' To me, that's worth it all -- just that part."
"My five year old son has been watching me practice with Larry's videos. And now because of it, he's doing magic for his friends. It's precious to see."
"In today's
high-tech world, people are running at 80 mph and magic has this wonderful way
of getting people to slow down and stop and look. It brings people together.
That's one of the many things I love about
it."
