Jean-Pierre Crispon

The New Topit J.P., the Topit designed after J.P. Crispon's plans is now available.

We provide you with the accessory + the explanatory note.

What they think:

The new topit JP Crispon is a revolutionary topit, with unlimited possibilities change, reverse topit ect ... the effects are killer believe me once we have it we can not do without it, in addition are very easy to use!

Well, with the new JP Crispon topit you can work with a closed jacket, no more need to choose the angles, you are clean and much more confident, you can work at 365° without anyone suspecting anything! do you understand?

Dvd Mayette by JP Crispon, "Le Reverse Topit" is a compilation of tips and routines accumulated by JP Crispon over 15 years of Topit.

And we have some good stuff!

We start with the traditional topit, relatively easy routines, then JPierre adds progressively the tricks he could find to simplify the throw, to bring naturalness in the gesture, and how to exploit the "flash" of the topit (because the gimmick allows (and it is rare in magic) to bring immediacy).

Then we go to the reverse topit, which allows to get rid of the object in the opposite hand (i.e. the one that holds the object), there too, superb routines, detailed comments, and this is the strong point of the DVD, it takes its time ! The moves are shown several times, and JP answers questions from Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier. The exchange is interesting on several levels, Alexandra takes the place of... all of us... the magician who tried it, tested it, then gave up, for fear of the angles, the lack of naturalness, the open jacket, etc. As a result, his questions speak to me!

Arrived at the closed topit :

how to topit with a jacket whose buttons have been closed, how to topit without angles, and topit by picking up objects on a table.

This is where we get into the heavy stuff, this new approach allows a lot of new things, allows you to rewrite your routines, to remove all the moves constrained by the angles (talking to the spectator on the left, on the right, etc.). This is probably the strongest point of the DVD, along with JPierre's personal techniques.

In the end?

The topit is often approached at the beginning of the magician's training, then put aside, and only a few enthusiasts stick to it. The courses/DVDs are often very light and even the references (Ammar, Cloutier) remain in "overview". I remember a conference on the topit, Ammar spent 10 minutes on the topic saying: "The topit is easy! It's a matter of moving the center of gravity of the body...' and... we quickly moved on to the cards. There is a lot more to say, this is exactly what JP.Crispon does.

The routines are excellent (what a rewriting of the matrix!). And finally... finally... finally! His version of the coins across the table..) the explanations are clear.
