Description
For years Reign Man has been a Dixon Magic bestseller. If you read the reviews below, you’ll easily see why. It’s become part of the acts of pros worldwide, featured in theaters, cruise ships, and corporate gigs — even school shows!
And for all those years I made and assembled
each Reign Man.
Was it back breaking work? LOL, no.
Was it time consuming? Oh, yes.
So I made the announcement some time ago that Reign Man, like the rock’n’roll “king,” was leaving the building.
But here’s the thing: when I announced that final close-out sale of the final six Reign Man, I received MANY times more requests to reissue it. But with all that is going on in Dixon Magic (not to mention my personal life of being a dad of 7), I wouldn’t re-release Reign Man, The King of All Magic Square Routines.
Or would I?
REIGN MAN IS NOW A VIDEO DOWNLOAD!
The differences between the download and the physical version:
You get a in-studio performance video and instruction, going into all the methods and presentation details and options at a nitty gritty deep level, plus several developments & improvements that have come up since the original release. Even if you own the original Reign Man, this download will be a benefit to you.
You will have to make the props (it’s easy). You probably already have most, if not all, of them. The cost is about $10 or less. And the one-time prep will only take 30-60 minutes. Then you’re good to go for 100s of performances.
What’s the same between the download and physical version:
Everything you read below. The awesomeness of Reign Man remains.
REIGN MAN REVIEWS!!
“Just a quick note that I’m massively impressed with Reign Man. Killer stuff!“ – Nathan Coe Marsh
“Just got Reign Man… you are a clever bast*rd, I mean genius… SUCH a great idea” – Joe Diamond
“Wanted to tell you that Reign Man killed last week. Big group of 100 dentists and techs. It got great reactions. My photographer, who’s seen my show before said, “that’s the one that floored me. Thank you for this!” – Alyx Hilshey
“Great concept Doc! I will use this.“ – Mike Powers
“Alright … I got in the Reign Man… just got through the instructions … and I tell you … THIS is a magic square routine that I will use. No more ‘look how great my math is with these ‘wonky numbers’. Not going to lie I was hesitant when I saw cards were involved BUT their use is logical and well thought out. PLUS I actually DO use playing cards as bookmarks when I’m reading! It’s a PERFECT message match. On top of that, I love having it all packaged together in a tidy travel case. Damn Dude I LOVE THIS!I went through a test run with my kiddo and at the end … right before I turned over the bookmark … he goes “no way !? is that the back of the king of clubs?“ And Booom! He was floored. – Jason Christopher
“Reign Man Rules! I love the story concept, scripting, and pro-tips. Way to go.
(The “instruction book” alone is worth the price!)“ – Adam Christing
“Thanks for an outstanding routine, I really like it!“ – Christopher Hannibal
The magic square is a classic of stand up magic.
But like most classics, it is not without its challenges. Years ago when I began studying magic square routines there were several challenges inherent in other routines I wanted to — I needed to — eliminate.
It must have a definitive climax.
“Look the rows add up to 73…the columns add up to 73 …the diagonals add up to 73 …the four squares add up to 73 …” While the performer’s delivery can certainly signal that “this is the end, so clap now,” I’d like the structure of the routine to make that clear as well.
The Reign Man routine is 95% magic square. The other 5% is a card trick that frames the routine at the front and back. The trick: A freely named card is the bookmark that’s been sticking out of the book that’s been sitting on your table from the beginning of the routine.
It’s that powerful.
Reign Man has a strong, definitive climax.
NO funky looking square with a few overly large numbers.
For some magic square formulas, the audience sees 9-5-11-78-2-6-77-9 …you get the picture. It just looks a little jinky.
The Reign Man square is always unsuspicious. It’s the kind of magic square your mother wants you to date.
Gotta have a presentation hook
“Listen up, name a number, now look at this paper” isn’t cutting it for me.
The first lines of Reign Man begin with funny and generate interest.
Must. Be. Bulletproof.
Some shows I do after a delightfully healthy meal and a good night’s sleep of 8-9 hours.
But the other 99% of shows might have me performing on less than optimal sleep.
The ability to do math — even the very simple math in a magic square formula — can be challenging when you’re at less than optimum. And the typical magic square is very unforgiving. You miss a single number and — BOOM — you’re eating a dog’s breakfast.
