Magic Powell 1999, 32 minutes Current Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Magic is a Powell team video that features a line up of pros including Pat Channita, Andy Mac and Steve Caballero. Each pro begins their section with an intro about themselves, which is followed by their skating. There is also an amateur section featuring new talent like Javier Sarmiento and also a jokes section with fingerboarding and deck juggling. The skating varies a great deal, featuring skateparks, vert, pools and street. The music is also very diverse, incorporating Jackson 5 to Jay-Z and everything in between. October 09, 2002 Magic is an average skate video with some standout skating here and there. Caballero is amazing to watch and he skates to the Jackson 5 with his familiar style. Danny Wainwright and Pat Channita both have decent sections, but the ams upstage them. Javier Sarmiento and Gianni Zattoni tear up rails and ledges with no remorse. The fingerboarding section made me want to bust out some finger flips, yo! Now for the weak parts of the film. First off, Jason Ellis has some crappy material and he simply can't keep up with Andy Macdonald who rips in this vid. Secondly, the film quality isn't great, and for a company like Powell I expect much better. The final and biggest bummer is the level of skating. Aside from ams like Sarmiento and Zattoni, Channita and Cab are the only ones who have bangers. None of the other pros in the video come through with great material, just average run-of-the-mill stuff everyone else can do. Nobody else stands out. All in all, the good far outweigh the bad and Magic is well worth watching. Simian P
