Can you guys please name all the easter eggs in the magic DVDs that you know of, and how to find them? I have a feeling that there are some easter eggs in my DVD collection which I am still unaware of.
If not for the fact that I was reading the old thread on the "Tommy Wonder DVDs", I would never have known that there was an easter egg hidden in them. And that easter egg in Vol 1 contains a very lengthy & informative interview of Tommy Wonder. So guys, please contribute if you know of any easter eggs and how to find them. I'm sure it will benefit most of us here. Thanks! |

Easter eggs are hidden "gems" in DVDs. I've heard of some movie DVDs having them, where by if you press certain keys on your dvd player, it'll get you to some hidden video or function on that DVD. I didn't know that magic dvds have them too. I would be interested to find out which dvds have easter eggs as well.

Ok, I'll start with the only easter egg I know. I knew about this by reading the thread on Tommy Wonder.
On Vol 1 (I heard it applies to all 3 volumes, but I only have Vol 1), go to the section on "other DVDs by L & L Publishing", and scroll to the Max Maven's Videomind page. Then navigate upwards to get to the word "Max Maven". Click enter, and you should be able to view the interview segment. |

What a preposterous idea. Why in the world would anyone put valuable info in a CD - magic or otherwise - and rely on happenstance for the owner to find the info. What in the world is the point of this?

Gianni has got a valuable point there! I've heard of Easter Eggs in computer programs, but in a dvd? Aren't the feature of every dvd player different?

Easter eggs are actually pretty popular in DVDs. Check out this link:
http://www.dvdreview.com/html/hidden_features.shtml I think they are pretty neat. I'm holding out hope that there are some in the DVDs that I own just waiting for someone to find and share them. Jake

For movie DVDs, I understand the concept of Easter Eggs, because the buyer is presumably buying the disc for the film (and advertised extras), and so the discovery of such extra extras is like a present. However, it seems quite an odd inclusion for a magic DVD, being that its purpose is to provide information to us, to purposely hide some of it away.
Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.

I vaguely remember hearing that there's an Easter Egg in Lee Asher's "Hit The Road" DVD. Can anyone verify this?

In a "I just want a DVD full of tricks, why have they put this interview here, I didn't pay good money for interviews, I want tricks!". So by saying it's a "hidden extra" you can get away with adding anything else you feel like. 2. It's a way of getting people to put the DVD back in again, after they think they've finished with it, and to look at screens they wouldn't normally consider looking at. Take the "Tommy Wonder" DVD for example. If you own this you may now want to go and find the Easter Egg, so you'll dig the DVD back out, put it back in and go the the "Other DVD's we want to sell you page" (no less). You may even go, Geee I forgot what a great DVD this was, it's been a while since I bought a DVD, perhaps I'll get one of those Max Maven ones. I'm sure it won't be long before Easter Eggs are "hidden" at the end of adverts for upcoming releases. Just a thought. Rev Dan Catt

Also, look at the people making the DVDs. Magic is an industry built on secrets by people that love and enjoy those secrets. Is this really any suprize?

I read over at Genii that there is an Easter Egg in a DVD called "Versatile Card Magic".
