Guide to Learning Dove Magic: Review by Alexo
This is my review of various dove magic DVDs and videos. I know I left out "I Dove U Truly" by Ice McDonald, "Dove Tails" and "Just do it" by Amos Levcovich and "Complete Course in Dove Magic" by Greg Frewin. But I don't have those. Hope you all enjoy!!!

@sendtodiego Dove magic takes commitment. If you don't properly educate yourself you risk causing great harm to the dove. You're trying to take the easy way out and if you can't show the commitment now there's no point in going any further. ?

@MagicofAlexo Sorry for the spelling mistake, it wasn't intentional. In my opinion Doves 101 is good to learn the different dove productions and if you just want to have general info about dove magic why not. But when you start building you act, you absolutely need a dvd which give further information about costume, loops etc. Otherwise you gonna waste a lot of time and make? several mistakes. Anyway thanks for your review it's very useful for the doveworkers

@brunovayron Keep in mind the Frewin course is 3 volumes long. I agree that one is probably the best Dove magic DVD of all time, but A. I did not have it in time for this video and B. This video was geared more towards magicians with casual interest in dove magic. For casual interests Doves 101 is in my opinion the best, Behind the Seams is a must-have for more in depth knowledge and Frewin's is the best? for serious magicians. Also is "Alexis" Supposed to be a joke or something?

Hi Alexis. I do not agree with you as far as Dove 101 is concerned. I have most of the videos you talked about but doves 101 doesn't? give enough info concerning loops, holders, alteration of the jacket, sleeves modification. It teaches everything but nothing in detail. Frewin's course is much more complete as well as behind the seams.

Thank you so much for this video, my friend. I have a pretty basic question that I was hoping you could answer for me. Where can I go about getting an actual 'dove?' Any known dove suppliers online or anything? Help a fellow magician out, lol. Thanks a? lot man.

Are the doves? hard to train?

Great Review Alexo. Very informative for all the dove? workers out there!
January 3rd, 2012 at 6:49 pm
@MagicofAlexo You are totally right. I just got a new dove and i will try Dan Sperry´s training. My mind was closed when i posted the comment, now you opened it.? Thanks.

@josemiguelgonzalezz Don't diss technical tosses until you've tried it out. It's worked for all of my doves. Also the dove from balloon IS a technically difficult trick but the idea? of it is very strong, it's a non-linear thinking that we need to see more of in magic. I still recommend it

Hey Alexo, thank you for this video. It was really worth to watch it.
The only DVD i regret to purchase is Dan Sperry´s "Technical Dove Tosses". I do not think its the proper way to have your doves fly back an do all the stuff that the DVD says. Even when he is teaching the "Balloon to Dove" technique, it does not work for him a couple of times. Anyways, thank you for? your information.
