Always been interested in this guy. He's magic seems very unique, and it's so hard to get a hold of all the stuff this guy makes, seems he's like a myth.
I was very happy when I saw this DVD released, do anyone have it? and reviews??

Even though I own a shop, I can do an honest review. The first trick on the DVD will fool the crap out of you!

Here's the full review I did for our July Newsletter:

Perfect Ben!! Just the information I was looking for, I'm a huge Finn Jon fan - I have no idea what I was thinking of questioning his DVD.
It's already on the way and I can't wait.

Does anyone know where to grab a Smoke from Anything gimmick? Does Finn have a website?

Am I right to say Finn Jon is the frst who come up with Floating Bill with IT? I've been searching books on this man, but nothing found yet...Any suggestion?

I have a friend/customer of mine looking for one. So I am looking into carrying it.

But I'll pass on the note to my friend to see if he's interested.

He has a site: http://www.finnjon.no
but I'm not sure you find anything for sale there, maybe you could mail him a request about the smoke gim.

It differs from Intermediate to Advanced,
there are some productions and slight of hand that require practice, and lots of it.
Well worth the price, Finn Jon Rocks!!!

In light of the release of the Smoke From Anything gimmick, can you learn how to make your own from Jon's dvd? That is, if that's the only showpiece your interested in.

Thanks,
Mack Magic

I think the DVD is very good. As Ben Salinas said if you watch the first trick before everything else it will look like pure magic. Alittle ball just bobs and floats around in mid-air.

I thought there were some very good routines on it. The ball production was cool.

Agree Josh, the ball production is killer!!
As for the smoke gimmick, There is no step by step course about making the gim.
I have a good idea how it's done, but it did'nt stop me from ordering the real deal from Hocus Pocus.

After you see the Finn Jon routine you'll probably end up ordering it as well.

The Finn Jon Smoke from fingers gimmick was explained in detail in his booklet and his early video form Stevens Magic. The booklet was a publication from France. You can make it for a few dollars. Stevens sold it for $25.00. Again, I have no knowledge if this is the same gimmick Hocus-Pocus is offering.

Can you produce the smoke from your hands as well,or does it have to be from an object so the gimmick won't be exposed? Also is the gimmicked used to fill bubbles with smoke?
