BAMN! – (By Any Means Necessary!) is a BRAND NEW – lecture and workshop opportunity created by Joseph Daniels. For the last 25 years in addition to directing, designing, and consulting for magicians, Joseph has served as a director, designer, and consultant for numerous plays, musicals, commercials, films, and television programs. Many of these involved NO magic effects whatsoever! His work in direction of special effects and bladed stage combat have earned accolades among industry professionals. After years of direct hands-on work with luminaries in the entertainment industry, Joseph has retooled those ideas into a series of lectures, a workshop, and a remarkable book that breaks down the process.
Included in this all new lecture series: startup advice for your show, marketing tips, The 3 “Hus”…, costuming and lighting tips, the Likability Factor, perception of exclusivity, Max Maven’s Who & Why, Limiting factors and why they are important, also the need for a brain-trust, practice and rehearsal, character development and scripting! Also, to fully illustrate the points taught in the lecture, we are including 4 polished routines and scripts directly from Joe’s own award-winning show! Just one of these is the core for an upcoming product release that has a retail value of $1,000!! Finally, included is the cherry on top! We have designed into the program the legendary Sleight Club process. This invitation only magic club that has met weekly for 25 years has produced more successful and noted magicians than any other workshopping group in the history of professional magic!!

I just want thank Chris Sipes for the amazing work he did in recreating Dr. Pritchard’s Box of Poison. It is handcrafted solid wood and has amazing secrets! Chris’ talent in technology allows you to see the final reveals from across the room. Amazing! Also, it includes an HH Holmes package inside. OH! It also has more reveals than ever. If you get one, IM me and I will tell you how to add more! Truly a marvel and I think easily customizable for any show. Make it a Ripper box, Titanic, Chicago Gangsters, witchcraft and more!

Whilst I have yet to “play” with my Poison Box (neighbours and locals beware!), I endorse Vince’s comments where I can. Most importantly of all, it really LOOKS authentic – but then, of course, it really did come from Holmes ‘s Murder Castle(!?!). It’s the sort of prop which adds the right amount of “atmosphere” to a performance; a mixture of intrigue, puzzlement, authenticity whist being ‘unsettling’. It’s very well constructed and aged. Importantly, it doesn’t betray the devilment that hides inside. As with all such props, it is what you the performer makes of it and with it that matters. Open the box and let it lead you – if you dare.
