Power Word: Fall (Matt's Illusion Released-Taking Orders!)

Matt Sconce

Veteran


You can support my first DVD release and purchase Power Word: Fall here: www.powerwordfall.com

Knock an object over with a single word....

The words you speak when performing, change the impact your magic has on a spectator. Imagine having the ability to control objects with the power of your words. This is not an average psychokinetic effect. With just a quiet whisper from several feet away, you are able to make objects fall at your command. The Power Word principle allows you to perform the impossible, knock one object off another without affecting it or choose which objects will fall and which will remain standing.

No weird, unnatural hand movements, no complicated setups, you do not need to be close to the object, in fact, you can even have your back turned while performing Power Word: Fall. Complete with a method perfect for walk around and street magicians, Power Word: Fall is a must have in your arsenal of reputation makers.

Hi,
I bought dvd+download package today...before I comment I like to point out that I dislike Matt so don't worry about this review being biased in any way whatsoever :D
First the download is easy to access.Im terrible with technology but even I had no bother clicking on the link which pops up after payment :D
The method itself is glorious! If it were a girl I would date her even if she had no personality...It really is first class.Its something Geller would do if he didn't have real PK powers :D
The explanations are crystal clear.Matt goes over each detail in a clear concise manner and nothing is left out.All the little things and subtle ploys are included..some are nothing short of genius!The piece can be performed pretty much on the go if desired which is fantastic :)
It looks real.If you were to perform pk in test conditions I think this is how it would look/feel.I love it and will perform it :) Its very very practical in all sorts of settings.Its something you will enjoy working on and will adore performing!One of my all time best purchases.
Pete
P.S. I don't really dislike Matt ;)

Im watching it on my mac book right now :) Items are easy to find. For me this is the best thing of 2008 so far. The download is very well produced with some very good explanations and some creepy cool music.
This effect performed with a good presentation will really freak people out.

I told what I thought this to be to Matt (just to be sure if I could use it or not) and Matt not only confirmed my thoughts but kindly explained to me most of the details, days before this effect went on sale.
As a thank you for his trust, I went ahead and bought this.
I am very happy of having done that, because there were two things that I never thought of myself (cannot say more because it would give away part of the method) and then one more thing that I thought was pure genius... the REVERSE powerword.
Highly Recommended!

Hi Matt,
I just downloaded Power Word - Fall.
I have to say I think this is a really fantastic effect. Simple and brilliant, just the way I like it. It's unfortunate that its almost midnight here in Johannesburg because I can't wait to try this out on someone. Maybe I should wake my wife???
Perhaps I can get her to "fall" out of bed?
Jokes aside, I want to congratulate you. This is a totally workable performance piece and I love the fact that you can really perform it in any environment at any time with very little prep work. The cost vs benefit balance is fantastic.
I will post a proper review once I've had a chance to get in front of some innocent bystanders.
Thanks,
Simon
 
I ordered mine. And I've never done illusions before, although I've referenced Doug Henning throughout my life:

I don't get it? So... I've never done any sort of "magic" in my entire life besides card tricks.

If I order this, it'll teach me to be able to perform the trick? I'd love to be able to do that at a bar!

Or is my thinking incorrect here? Is there anything else that I'd have to buy? What's the fine print?

Yep, you buy the dvd and it teaches you how to do it and comes with everything you need to do it! ;) -Matt
 
That dude was on the streets like David Blaine. He was looking real cool too. I don't know if all that's on the DVD though.

-Nate
 
Hmmm...you may be getting me mixed up with the other Matthew who does the illusion "technique." He is much more David Blain-ey than me. I am much more Tall and Gangley and goofy looking. haha! More reviews came in and they have all been extemely positive. My first DVD release seems as if it will be a success!

If you want to do this effect but are new to magic, have no fear. It is easy to do, feels like real magic, and will freak people out at parties! Good times had by all! www.powerwordfall.com

More Reviews. here are many of the ones that have come in!


As everyone has said in the reviews so far. The method kills. It is not something you expect or do, and changes everything. I hope those of you who get this enjoy it and use it to create amazing moments for people. Read some of the reviews from the Cafe to see what other magicians are saying. Here are some:

Had a chance to review and play around with this today. I've been doing all kinds of PK stuff for over ten years now and have no idea how in the heck this never popped into my grey matter.
In a word, this is brilliant.
Matt teaches several variations on the DVD and all of these look awesome and some are just freakin' impossible. Matt explains everything crystal clear, and includes not just the varied effects but also versions of FALL for the street and walk around.
If you like what you see in the demo, you'll like FALL.

As a creator of elaborate props for bizarre performance, I am totally taken by the simplicity of the material on this DVD. As Bloodkin mentions above, the first thing that I thought was "Why hadn't I thought of this?"
The download and DVD are available here:
http://papercraneproductions.net/fall.htm and the cost ranges from $29.95 for the download to $39.95 for the download and DVD combo. Shipping to South Africa, which is probably as far away as you can get from the USA, was $9.85. (obviously no shipping charge for the download.
To begin with - Compatibility of the Downloaded File
I downloaded the material last night (its in WMV format which is designed for Microsoft Operating Systems) I use a Mac so I had initial concerns about being able to play it after downloading. To my relief I found a plug in that facilitates the file. If you have a Mac, download this application free first : http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_update_player.htm
The "Fall" file is 150mb so you do need a stable high speed connection.
Right now about the material:
1. The quality of the downloaded material/dvd is very good. The sound and picture are clear and Matt has a very good, relaxed teaching style that is easy to follow. I ordered the DVD - download combo and whilst the DVD has yet to arrive, I believe it has some menu functions etc, that the download doesn't have. This means navigation through the DVD will be easier.
2. You do need a little something extra to be able to try out your new found verbal power but its available from most magic dealers and many magicians will have it in their possession already.
3. There is some prep work involved before performing but I think with the right movements and misdirection the set-up can be achieved whilst the audience are in the room. Matt gives a few tips on how the set-up can be achieved in different settings. I particularly enjoy the fact that you can perform this outside.
4. The method allows for repeat performances (without any great deal of re-setting) and Matt gives 6 variations on Fall, each one more impactful than the last.
5. I tried this out on my kids (they get the first performance of everything) and even though I've only had a couple of hours practice, they were fooled. My daughter is 9 and the first thing she does normally, is quickly pick up the object I've just moved/levitated etc. to see if there are any threads attached. Imagine her face when she found nothing. Adults are less likely to grab at something so this effect passes the inquisitive audience test!
6. The word "Fall" can be changed. I'm not sure why you'd want to though. Unless of course everyone on the planet buys this DVD and you want to stay ahead of the game.
7. There are some restrictions on the type of objects that can be made to fall. Don't think you can get the television to topple off the cabinet (which is quite fortunate really, or you'd not be able to finish watching the DVD!). The objects need to be relatively small and obviously they must be able to be "toppled". The objects used in the DVD are pens, permanent markers, ping pong balls, cards.
I have experimented with coins (standing on edge), sponge balls, tarot cards (being a bizarrist). I also put a bobbin of sewing thread on the table and got it to roll off the other side. This was particularly cool as I've been working on a story about the cobbler and elves for a kids show.
8. I recommend this to anyone that has an interest in PK or haunted type effects. With Halloween almost upon us, the download is a great way to get the magick ready on short notice.
9. I don't know much about Matt Sconce or Paper Crane Productions but if there is more like this to come, I think the magic community can only benefit.

That is what other magicians ar saying about Fall so far. I hope you get the same enjoyment out of it! -Matt Sconce
 
Power Word: Fall is selling well. People are telling others to buy it and some performance stories are coming in. Here is one:

This is one of the best things released this year, and there have been allot of great material out in 2008 in my opinion.
Most people have seen some kind of card or coin trick and they know that there are some kind of trick behind it, but people have never seen anything like this and it looks SO real and clean that it cant be a trick. It really freaks them out.
I did try this out yesterday at a party, and after the sharpie fell down i had about 30 people screaming and jumping around. I did a routine where i did Wayne Houchins Control followed by this, and people really did belive i had real powers, even if i told them it was just an illusion.
Matt does a great jobb explaning the effects and the download is very well produced.
I would recommend this to anyone because its really easy to do and 100 % practical for the real world and its something different.
I would say that about 80% of effects that i buy gets putt down in my magic drawer because its nothing i can use, but this one will i use all the time.

Come check out Power Word: Fall. www.powerwordfall.com Thanks! -Matt
 
If only I had money to buy it..... Congratuations Matt, it's great when your first project gets so many good reviews!!
 
Oh, great. Just what I need... another addiction. :)

Yes, but this is a freak everyone out and watch great reactions addiction. Imagine people freaking out to a part of your movie, and this gives the same rush. It is a happy, fun addiction. Throw away those other addictions and pick this one up! haha -Matt:beer:
 
Well, so far, so good. I have people performing this now in Africa, India, Australia, Canada, the US and elsewhere. All reviews have been good, and over three hundred units have sold. If you have not gotten yours, you may want to before they sell out. I am excited! :) -Matt Sconce
 
I'm picking it up next paycheck.

Any reviews from fellow DVXusers? Horse or Jason?

I find it amusing calling someone "horse" for some reason. I didn't realize it till I wrote that, and then giggled:2vrolijk_08:
 
Hey, Congrats Matt. Happy for you. Nice to see someone getting ahead. Kind of gives us all hope in a way, er, the ones that ,cough, need it, whatever.... :beer:

Yeah, happy for ya. :) Grats.
 
I got it and it looks awesome. Haven't had a chance to actually try it yet as I've been too busy working (thankfully). Hopefully this weekend. If I'm not baby proofing ("This one's got a little too much cyan in it."). Dang it.
