Andrew Mayne is to magic as Lloyd Kaufman is to movies
Andrew Mayne is to magic as Lloyd Kaufman is to movies.
I know what many of you are thinking now. Stop that. Get it out of your heads. I do not mean that in a negative way. I have the highest regard & respect for both of these highly creative individuals.
Andrew has a natural way of original thinking. He comes up with the some outrageous ideas for illusions and tricks many that you can make or do easily and many of them on a land clammer's budget (Can collector's budget).
Take a look at The Secret Illusion Show. This booklet teaches how to make five full stage illusions that take a very short amount of time to put together and for little or NO, that's right NO money. $12.00 for 5 full stage illusions are you kidding me?
Andrew produces his own magic DVD's. Some of them have a Hollywood look and experience to them. See Wizard School.
His latest creation is Gut Buster. This is his Big Budget release. A Hollywood looking special effect done live. At only $75.00 this is a real bargain and comes complete with everything you need to get started.
For those of you who already own Gut Buster, I have devised a way to make it gory. I have not seen the entire DVD, so forgive me if it or something like it is already explained on it. I'll be vague as I do not want to tip the method. Silicone a rubber sheet or part of a rain coat behind, fill with whatever. Arm in between. Only the shirt may have residue when complete. Performer can wear a rubber glove.
My comparison to Lloyd Kaufman the independent film maker and president of Troma Studios should be a little more clear now. Lloyd Kaufman can write, direct, produce, act in and distribute some of the most entertaining feature films I've ever seen for a very modest fee. His biggest budget movie to date, Citizen Toxie, the Toxic Avenger Part IV cost under $250,000. (The cost for a few CGI shots in a studio flick). The rest of the Troma library of films from over the past 30 + years combined were made for fractions of that! Some at just a few thousand bucks and some no doubt with nothing more than time well (or if you don't like Troma time poorly) spent.
Mayne has the creative juices to let a children's imagination become a living comic book super character. See The Handbook of Super Powers.
Andrew offers you the power to freak people out in a way no other performer I have ever seen do. Mad Mojo is one of my favorite crazy books. The performance concept of Twister For One is worth the price of the book alone. If you ever learned The Twisting Arm Illusion, you'll want to know how Andrew makes this a hilarious piece.
Over the past several years, Andrew Mayne has released a slew of books, booklets, manuscripts, videos and props. Each are unique. All are exciting (to the intended client). A grown adult really has little use for the Superpowers Book (although there are a several things in here that are useful and can come in handy for any performer), likewise a child has no business for building Razor Wire.
At last the real analogy to Mayne & Kaufman or should I say Harter & Weil?
Andrew Mayne's real name is Andrew Harter. Andrew Harter completed an action movie from start to finish and he did it for get this only $99.00. The film Full Motion Blur was the official selection of the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.
Are you interested to learn how to make a No Budget movie yourself? See Andrew's book How To Make An Action Movie For $99. The part about getting a wheelchair from the Salvation Army to get a steady rolling shot and then returning it is a hoot, bullet holes in cars made with tin foil and magnets a genius way not to ruin your vehicle! This is a great title and a little off our regular path for magicians but noteworthy for sure.
See also Kaufman's book entitled All I Need To Know About Filmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger.
We proudly offer the entire Andrew Mayne product line 28 in all at the time of this writing. Just search for MAYNE here. (and 1 if you look under Harter).
Not everything Mayne has put out will appeal to you. Some of his things are very diverse. We can say for sure, he has something to offer everyone and can't wait to see what he will think of next.
So long for now.
