Touched is Morgan Strebler's take on the PK Touches plot. On this 2 DVD set, you learn some great PK touches routines (gimmicked and non-gimmicked) as well as some great theory and performance tips.
PK Touches is basically an effect in which you touch one spectator and the other spectator feels that touch. There have been many versions and methods for this effect and on this DVD, Morgan shares his for the first time.
I really enjoyed this DVD. I have never really delved much into PK Touches, but this have given me a lot of material to go out and try at my next performance. A few of these can be performed completely on the spot with no gimmicks or pre-show.
You are also taught a few requiring either homemade gimmicks or gimmicks that can be purchased (or that you doubt probably own already). Morgan's Trench Touch is a beautiful touch which is completely impromptu and that I have already used and it is very powerful and deceptive. He also teaches Guarded, a touch where one spectator is in front of the other, adding an extra layer of deception.
Some of my favourites taught were:
Cigarette touch - in this touch, you sprinkle tobacco from a cigarette on one spectators hand and the other person feels it. This requires a gimmick that you no doubt already have and is incredibly deceptive to all watching. The spectator really feels the tobacco being sprinkled on their hand, even though you never go near them. Very good.
Blow - you blow on one spectator's hand and the other person feels it too. Requires a homemade gimmick which allows for the blow to be felt simultaneously from both spectators. Love it.
Rose/senses touch - this was my favourite on the entire set. You ask one spectator to close their eyes. You take a napkin and turn it into a paper rose. You hold that paper rose under that spectator's nose. You then also hold a real rose under another spectator's nose. The first spectator will then say that they smell a rose, but when they open their eyes, discover they have a paper rose with no scent (can be given away as a gift) and the other spectator is smelling the real rose. This fooled the crap outta me and the method is very cool.
The DVD was very well produced. You receive 2 DVDs. Morgan is an excellent teacher and goes over everything you need to know. Credits are given to those who have worked with the concept before if you want to delve deeper into the plot. No issues regarding sound or lighting either.
This really got me excited when I watched the trailer and I certainly wasn't let down. The material on here is great and if you are interested in PK touches, take the plunge and grab a copy of this. In my opinion, just the two impromptu touches and the rose routine (great for stage), you will have gotten your money's worth out of the $50. Highly recommended. 10/10
