Ambitious Card (World's Greatest Magic)

Conjuring historians have traced the origins of the Ambitious Card plot back to a French conjuror named Alberti who performed in the early 1800's but the idea of placing a card into the middle of the back and having it return to the top almost certainly occurred to card magicians prior to that. It definitely has intrigued magicians since then as just about every performer with cards since that time has included some version of this trick in their repertoire.

In this volume, you'll meet a variety of performers who have taken this very basic yet magical idea of a single playing card constantly rising to the top of the pack in some very clever and decidedly different directions. For example, David Regal leads off with his routine which transmogrifies an ordinary playing card into a puppy that always responds to the voice of its master. You'll see and learn Harry Lorayne's routine which first saw print in his classic Close-Up Card Magic performed and taught by the man himself. Frank Garcia offers some clever moves that are ready to be implemented into your own routine while Michael Ammar demonstrates a routine that would compliment the repertoire of any card worker. Doc Eason is up next with his take, a high point of his bar set, while Paul Wilson, Al Schneider and the inimitable Tommy Wonder perform and teach their routines which all end up with the card appearing in a totally unexpected and magical place. Finally, Dai Vernon's reminiscence about the origins of his timeless routine from Stars of Magic is the perfect way to round out this Ambitious Card extravaganza.

The Cheat - Double-Signed Card Routine - Richard Turner

By adding another spectator and a few more moves, Richard Turner elevates the Signed Card Routine to new heights. Imagine an effect where two spectator's autographed cards, one from a blue deck and one from a red deck disappear, only to have both cards appear and reappear over and over again. The amazement of the audience escalates with each appearance of a signed card; from the performer's hat, under a mat, from a spectator's hat, a wallet, torn and restored, and from a sealed deck of cards. Titillating as it may already seem the grand finale explodes when the sealed deck is opened to expose the spectator's signed cards -- and it is the same card!!

Richard Turner's startling Double-Signed Card Routine is for the true sleight of hand artist. It can be incorporated into your existing show or utilized as part of a standup act or a close-up routine. In addition to the double signed card routine, Turner reveals his long held secret - Turner's Key Card. With Turner's Key Card, you will be taught how to locate a selected card, by touch only, after a spectator has shuffled it into the deck.

Also Included are recently found photos, letter, and quotes from Dai Vernon, Ed Marlo, Charlie Miller, Michael Skinner, Fred Robinson, Larry Jennings, and a 1987 interview with Dai Vernon.

Additional Moves Taught by Richard on this DVD include: Turner's Two Finger Bottom Deal Force - Turner's Invisible Bottom Palm - Turner's One hand Bottom Deal Force - Turner's Two Card Display into Gambler's Palm or Full Palm - Turner's Diagonal Palm Shift to Full Palm or Gambler's Palm - Turner's Two Card Spin Around Side Steal, Card to the Wallet - Turner's Gambler's Cop and Hand Wash to Wallet - Turner's Signed Card to a Sealed Deck - Turner's Key Card Twist-out - Turner's Top Palm and Second From Top Palm - Turner's Simultaneous Top and Bottom Palm

Pocket This - Christopher Congreave and Gary Jones

GJ 6 Cards to Pocket (Gary Jones' signature routine) - Many magicians have been trying to get Gary to release this routine for years. Now he's finally sharing it with the magic community. The cards, a signed ace to six, all vanish individually and appear in order in the magician's pocket. Gary Jones has been using this routine for many years, but this is arguably the best version of this classic. It can be performed close up, cabaret and parlor.

CC Cards to Pocket - The signed ace to four vanish one at a time. The first three appear in the magician's pockets, the final card vanishes from inside the spectator's hand and appears inside the magician's wallet (which has been on the table all along!) Highly Commercial.

CC Cards to Pocket - Alternative Ending

GJ Pocket to Pocket (incorporating Gary's Ambitious Card) - A fantastic sequence that is stunning on its own or you can add to any ambitious card routine, your spectators won't believe their eyes!!!

GJ Repeat Signed Cards to Pocket - 3 cards are selected and signed. One at a time they appear in different pockets, then as quick as a flash they instantly jump straight back to the pockets. Excellent!

Top Con Control - A new, easy and deceptive way to control a card to the top of the pack.

John Carey's inspired by Lance (performed by Christopher Congreave) - 4 kings are placed onto the table and a signed card placed in between them. The signed card vanishes from between the kings and appears in your pocket. Again, you show the cards but this time the cards are isolated in the spectator's hand. BOOM!! Under these impossible conditions the signed card again vanishes, and makes it appearance back to your pocket. Commercial magic at its best.

Bonus: GJ's No Sleep Plus - A brilliant transposition routine. I don't want to spoil the surprise!

Running Time Approximately 2hr 07min

Pseudo Pickpocket - Christopher Congreave and Gary Jones

Pseudo Pickpocket - This is a brilliant and commercial plot that Chris Congreave and Gary Jones have been performing at their gigs to fantastic spectator reactions. Imagine being able to get a signed, or a merely thought of card, into a spectators wallet. For the professional there is also a method of getting your contact details into a spectator’s wallet! Pure gold to the working pro.

CC Pickpocket - A card is signed and lost in the pack. Two aces are placed in to the spectators wallet, and you tell them you will pick their pocket. The wallet is placed where you can’t possibly reach it….or can you? The aces are visibly produced. Then the spectator removes their wallet thinking the aces will be there…wrong, it’s the signed card!

GJ Signed Card to Card box - Dr. Daley’s last trick meets signed card to card box! The best bit is NO PALMING!

CC Thought of Card, GJ KickBack Pick Pack Pocket, Cash Credit Card Pickpocket, Wallet Transpo, John Carey’s Signature Transpo.

Card Warp (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

It’s been said that Roy Walton invented one of the most original card effects of all time with his Card Warp, and ever since then, magicians have taken this concept to even more baffling heights. How can a flat two-dimensional object like a playing card turn completely over even when folded into another flat object?

On this DVD, you'll learn the secrets to Roy Walton's original two-card brainchild, as expertly performed and taught by Michael Ammar. Then, you'll watch and learn some different and original presentations for the original Card Warp as Scotty York performs and teaches his decidedly adult version and Eugene Burger uses the cards to demonstrate a horrifying history lesson. From there, you'll move on to even more visually amazing versions that use a card and a borrowed banknote, such as Michael Close's Dr. Strangetrick and Howie Schwartzman's Star Warp, as taught by Ammar again. Paul Diamond will demonstrate how to make the face of a deck change when it's wrapped in a bill, even when the spectator holds it. You'll also see and learn Bruce Cervon's Warp II, possibly the most baffling version of Card Warp ever created.

Cards Across (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

Since the days of David Devant, the idea of magically causing playing cards to move invisibly between two places has intrigued magicians and inspired them to come up with different twists and methodologies. Cards Across, as the basic plot has come to be known, is also of interest close-up and stage performers alike because of how well a strong performance of this trick plays for audiences.

On this volume you'll find some of magic's best performers performing and explaining their own versions of this time-honored classic. You'll find basic but strong handlings from Bill Malone and Michael Skinner to more involved routines with the cards visibly vanishing and traveling twice, such as in Dan Harlan's routine. Bruce Cervon causes two signed cards to travel while in Juan Tamariz's version, cards that were merely thought of move from one spectator's hand to another's. You'll also discover Michael Ammar's routine with sealed envelopes, with two selected cards traveling from one impossible place to another, and Michael Close's hilarious take, where the cards travel from one really impossible place to another.

If you've been looking to add to a version of cars across to your close-up or platform repertoire, this DVD is a veritable embarrassment of riches!

Running Time Approximately 1hr 38min


Cannibal Cards (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

The Cannibal Cards plot was devised by Lin Searles in the late 1950's and this decidedly unusual plot has been capturing the imaginations of card magicians ever since. The original Searles approach utilized special cards. However, on this DVD, you'll see seven pasteboard masters, each with their own individual spins on this now-classic effect where a succession of playing cards seem to disappear when placed between other cards, apparently eaten by the "cannibal" cards – and all use ordinary cards.

Michael Ammar begins with the classic plot combined with Frank Garcia's "Apex Aces" and a "collectors" finish that provides three minutes of solid entertainment while Bill Malone follows with a typically hilarious presentation and a few red herrings thrown in that are guaranteed to even fool magicians. Juan Tamariz turns the trick into a piece of magical theater, complete with audience sing-alongs while J. J. Sanvert follows the classic plot right up until his amazing surprise ending. Larry Jennings, as would be expected, offers a classic and elegant handling while Michael Skinner demonstrates the version he used for over 25 years while he was the magician in residence at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. Finally, Eugene Burger presents a streamlined rendition that will, again, mystify everyone but particularly those who are familiar with the original, classic handling.

Since its conception, the Cannibal Cards plot has been a favorite of magicians and their audiences. As Dan Huffman observed in The Linking Ring, "And, why not, when one considers the delightful combination of snappy card magic and the consumption of raw, human flesh."

Card On Ceiling (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

In the early part of the 20th century, legendary bar magician Matt Schulien threw a deck of cards against the wall of his tavern and left a spectator's selection stuck in place. Little did he realize that he had created one of the most memorable and dramatic card tricks of all time. Since then, magicians have aimed their sites a little higher – ceilings, to be exact – and have been amazing and mystifying audiences with one of the very few card tricks that has such a huge, built-in "wow" factor.

On this volume, you'll meet five modern-day practitioners who have all made important contributions to the evolution of the Card On Ceiling. Doc Eason shows you how to make this trick play for large groups, drawing in all of the spectators into this very magical experience. You'll learn all of the fine touches in J. C. Wagner's version of the trick that's used by bar magicians everywhere, including Doc Eason. Karl Norman performs and discusses the version that he performed for 40 years at the legendary Forks Hotel and Michael Ammar teaches his take on this classic effect, one that helped to forge his reputation in the world of magic. Lastly, Scotty York, in addition to his very funny and clever presentation of this trick, will demonstrate how to make a gimmick that will enable you to streamline its handling.

Card To Wallet (World's Greatest Magic)

The card-to-impossible-place plot is almost as old as card conjuring itself with the earliest ancestor of the trick we now call the Card To Wallet appearing as “The Card in the Pocketbook” in early magic literature. Over the next two centuries, magicians devised a myriad of ways to create the effect of a selected playing card appearing mysteriously in the performer’s wallet and in this collection, you’ll find an amazing variety of methods for all skill levels. John Mendoza begins with two selections appearing in the zippered compartment of a wallet that was in plain sight throughout the routine – and there’s no palming involved. Likewise, Alexander deCova has devised a way of recreating the famous LePaul effect of a signed playing card appearing inside an envelope and, once again, there is no palming involved. Michael Ammar is next with an extremely logical approach to the effect as a torn playing card visibly changes into a credit card while, naturally, the playing card is found restored in the performer’s wallet in the space previously occupied by the credit card. Then, Eddie Tullock, the king of trade show performers, demonstrates how to turn a basic card-to-wallet effect into a powerful promotional tool. Dan Fleshman offers his take on the classic Red Hot Momma effect with a socko wallet finish while Alex Elmsley demonstrates a card-to-wallet effect that uses no gimmicked wallets and is virtually always ready to perform. Finally, Eric DeCamps presents his card in wallet routine with three selections that can play in a stand-up as well as close-up situation.

The discovery of a chosen – and oftentimes signed – playing card in the magician’s wallet is a centuries-old crowd pleaser and if you’re looking to add this all-time audience favorite to your repertoire, you won’t find a better starting point than this collection.

Card Stab (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

One of card magic’s most direct and dramatic tricks!

Since the early 1700’s, magicians have been dazzling their audiences by finding selected playing cards with knives. In the intervening years, legendary magicians such as Charles Bertram, Nate Leipzig, Karl Germain, Max Malini, and countless others have used this effect to astound onlookers and forge reputations.

On this DVD, you’ll be treated to seven different interpretations of the Card Stab. Johnny Thompson begins with Max Malini’s legendary version as he stabs three selections from cards scattered across a table while blindfolded. Michael Ammar contributes another legend’s take on the Card Stab – this time Nate Leipzig – as two cards are located by a knife thrust into the center of a pack of cards that’s been wrapped in a napkin. In a similar vein, Frank Garcia enables a spectator to stab their own signed selection in a wrapped-up pack while also providing a lovely bonus card production from a card case. Daryl finds a selected card by stabbing through a newspaper that covers cards that are spread across a tabletop while Jeff Sheridan expands on a Milbourne Christopher concept and stabs a card from a shuffled deck while it’s suspended in a bag fashioned from a paper napkin. Steve Dacri demonstrates how to make the Card Stab play big as he stabs two selections right out of the air and Paul Potassy shows off the trick he used as an encore when he performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages.

All these routines come straight from Christopher’s working repertoire and have been streamlined to work in almost any performing environment. After seeing a live performance each effect is then individually broken down and explained in full detail in the studio including all the necessary sleights and subtleties that have been developed through countless performances.

Guiltless Aces - From a borrowed, shuffled deck, the Aces are found with just a simple cut. Each phase gets better than the preceding phase with a killer kicker ending! Christopher even closes his act with this sometimes!!!
Las Vegas Jokers - One of Christopher’s personal favourites! Dr Daley’s last trick given a logical performance with a second, killer phase!
CTP - The Magicians pockets are checked by the spectator and found to be empty. Four cards, and only four (which can be signed) vanish one at a time only to appear each in a different pocket. Each vanish and reappearance gets better than the one before. This has caught the attention of several top magicians!
Sightseer - Christopher’s handling of Larry Jennings ‘The Visitor’ effect. The spectators signed selection twice jumps from between one set of Queens between another under impossible conditions, with a kicker final phase!
Oil & Hot Water - A simple, easy to follow Oil and water, with just 4 cards! However at the end, the backs change colour! And then back again! Everything is examinable!
Thought of Cards Across - 20 cards are taken from the deck and 10 turned face up, 10 face down. The spectator chooses which packet they want to think of a card from, and in the same condition, the cards are given to a spectator, 10 cards each. Just a snap and there are now 11 in one packet and 9 in the other. The spectator’s card has travelled across! But wait, another spectator saw a card…no problem! The magician snaps his fingers and another card has jumped across, leaving 12 cards and 8, the second selection has gone across! All done in the hands!

Also includes the following fantastic routines: Triumphant Colour Changing Collectors, Repeat Sandwich, Un-gaffed Entourage & Queens Transpo.

Sam The Bell Hop - Bill Malone

In the book "The Final Word on Cards" by Rufus Steele there was an entry titled "Sam & Moe" (author unknown). This was a stunt in which the magician tells a story while turning over cards from the deck, the cards matching the words in the narrative. It was not really a trick but an amusing interlude such as "Troublewit" or "Rocky the Raccoon" In other words, it was not supposed to fool anybody and it was not a new idea. In fact, other story routines such as "Jack goes to Town", as published in "Scarne on Card Tricks", were already in the literature.

Bill learned the Sam the Bellhop story and stack as shown to him by Mike Pappas of Chicago and he immediately added expert blind shuffles and cuts to it, thereby making magic out of an amusing vignette. That was a new idea! Over the years, he refined it and it became his signature piece.

Eventually he was asked to perform it on the November '94 TV show, "World Greatest Magic." His electrifying performance on this show was destined to open golden doors of opportunity, and Bill shuffled off to the bank!

After seeing Bill's performance, other magicians have attempted to teach this trick, but they missed the essential ingredients. This tape uncovers Malone's original dynamics that make the effect flow. If you apply yourself, you can learn the most entertaining four minutes you will ever do!

Master Card Technique Volume 1 (World's Greatest Magic)

In a letter from 1872, Johann Hofzinser wrote, "Card effects are the poetry of conjuring" and long before Hofzinser penned those words and ever since, magicians have been displaying the many wonders inherent in a simple pack of playing cards. There is, perhaps, no tool at a magician’s disposal that is more widely used.

Needless to say, proper technique is the foundation for solid, deceptive card work and on this landmark three-volume DVD series, experts Sepp Holzer and Andy Edmüller have taken the most important concepts in card table artifice and legerdemain and have explained and demonstrated each in excruciating detail. Tight camera work, over-the-shoulder shots and even an angle shot from below through a glass tabletop all work together to make this series one of the most comprehensive card magic reference tools ever committed to video. This is your opportunity to learn (or re-learn!) these concepts, sleights and moves the right way.

Magic With Business Cards (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

Imagine owning the most comprehensive magic book ever written. This would surely be a treasured possession for any magician with each chapter focusing on a single aspect of the craft and the very best routines ever created for it. That's the idea behind L&L Publishing's critically-acclaimed DVD series, The World's Greatest Magic by the World's Greatest Magicians. Each volume is like another chapter in the world's best magic book. Featuring in-depth exposition and instruction on some of magic's most cherished and classic effects by its most-talented practitioners, this unprecedented series represents an essential reference work for anyone interested in the magical arts, regardless of their skill level.

A magician should leave a lasting impression and one of the best ways to do that is to hand out your business card in a magical way. Your prospective client will not only remember you but will also get to keep tangible evidence of your magical abilities that just happens to have your contact information!

On this DVD, you'll meet nine performers with ten different ways to utilize your business cards in a magical way. John Guastaferro causes random spots on the back of his card to magically transform into the name of a selected playing card while Banachek uses just four cards to demonstrate an uncanny ability to know a spectator's choice in advance. Michael Ammar's business cards hand themselves out via a very eerie self-animation while Michael Close causes an initialed card to turn up in an impossible place. Dan Harlan recreates a classic of rope magic with an initialed business card while Jeff McBride causes his card to simply appear in the spectator's outstretched hands. Daryl turns his business card into an uncannily accurate prediction of the future while Raj Madhok takes a card magic classic and turns it into an amazing communion with the spirits. Finally, Greg Wilson demonstrates a pen that can magically write in any color named while Michael Ammar returns with business cards that can print themselves.

For any working professional who uses business cards, these effects can literally mean the difference between your card being tossed into a pile (or into the legendary "circular file") or cherished by its recipient and even shown around to others for perhaps years after as evidence of an unbelievable, magical encounter with a very special person – you!

Close-Up Magic #1 (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

Magicians who specialize in close-up magic are constantly in search of material that doesn't use playing cards. Easily seventy-five percent of the magic that's been published over the last 50 or 60 years has been card magic of one kind or another so quality non-card material is a relatively scarce commodity in the literature.

On this DVD, you'll meet seven different performers presenting and teaching powerful close-up routines that will wow any audience – and there's not a playing card in sight! The legendary Bruce Cervon starts off with a beautifully routined piece of magic where a borrowed handkerchief is clearly seen to be burned, magically repaired and then used for a stunning production. Glen Falkenstein, of the famed mentalism team of Falkenstein & Willard, combines two simple and well-known dealer items to create a beautiful hybrid of magic while Michael Ammar gives you all of the work on Stefan Schutzer's wonderful animated bill effect. Bob Read is next with a hilarious routine that will make you sorry you laughed so hard because you will be badly fooled by the trick's end. Mark Leveridge offers an elegant and very magical coin box routine while Flip brings the mystery of the classic linking rings to a few safety pins. Finally, Bill Malone performs and teaches a wonderful (and wonderfully portable!) Cups and Balls routine that will charm young and old alike.

It's been said that even the world's largest and most spectacular stage illusion cannot create the impact – that feeling of pure astonishment – of a good, well-performed piece of close-up magic and on this DVD, you'll find seven compelling pieces of evidence to that effect.

Colour Changing Knives (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

The invention of the Color-Changing Knives is usually credited to illusion designer Walter Jeans and as the effect began to enter the literature of magic in the 1930’s, close-up magicians were immediately taken by the visual nature of the trick. Over the years, a good number of the world’s top close-up performers have presented the knives as a part of their professional repertoires and five of them are on this volume to show you their astounding versions.

Bill Malone begins with his routine – an amazing and inherently funny routine that he uses in his walk-around work for some of the world’s top corporate clients. Johnny Thompson is next with a typically engaging routine while one of magic’s true poets, René Lavand, weaves a love story around the knives. Steve Draun presents his version that has a surprise ending that instantly resets – perfect for walk-around engagements – and Daryl presents his routine with knives of his own invention that ends with an unbelievable finish that leaves the knives in an impossible condition that can be examined by the spectators.

Pocket knives are interesting personal objects and, while they’re not commonly carried as they were in Walter Jeans day, people are still aware that they don’t magically change colour or size or appear and disappear at will. Thus, the Colour-Changing Knives remain one of the most popular and intriguing effects at the disposal of a close-up magician and on this DVD, you’ll find some truly great routines, plus enough moves and ideas to construct an amazing routine of your own!

Chop Cup (World's Greatest Magic)

Ever since the Chop Cup was invented by magician Al Wheatley (whose stage name was Chop Chop, which is where the trick derives its unusual name) in the early 1950s, magicians have devised increasingly clever ways to use it. The basic one-cup one-ball approach to the classic Cups and Balls has held the fascination of magicians through the years most probably due to its devious use of a mechanical principle along with sleight of hand to create an intriguing and compelling illusion. On this DVD, you’ll meet some masters of the Chop Cup, each with their own spin on the trick. There are classicists such as John Mendoza, Danny Tong and Steve Dacri who beguile their audiences with basic but still utterly baffling routines. Then we have rather unique approaches to the trick, such as David Regal, who substitutes the ball with – no kidding! – a toy mouse and later, Gary Ouellet, who performs a beautifully choreographed (to music no less!) routine using a Chop Cup and a matching, ungaffed cup. Finally, we have Larry Jennings who created one of the most original (and most performed) Chop Cup routines ever. Finally, Jim Swain presents his own version of the Jennnings routine with his own singular imprint.

The Chop Cup has been a signature effect for many of magic’s most successful performers and on this DVD, you’ll find marvelous ready-made routines in addition to scores of ideas and stratagems to add to an existing routine.

Magic With Dice (World's Greatest Magic)

No one knows who invented dice though the oldest known dice were discovered as part of a 5000-year old backgammon set. Dice used as conjuring props is of decidedly more recent vintage with one of the earliest records being Hofzinser who used mispotted dice to force a number as early as 1842. However, the allure of these simple six-sided cubes have not escaped the attention of magicians in intervening years.

In this unprecedented collection, you’ll find completely different approaches to conjuring with dice. John Mendoza begins by performing and then explaining Senator Crandall’s classic dice stacking routine. Daryl is up next with a Chink-A-Chink routine that requires only four dice and a cup – a wonderfully visual assembly and no fifth die is required! Steve Dacri also offers a dice assembly routine (and if you don’t know how it’s done, it’s a real fooler) while Mark Leveridge’s Wild Dice is an eye-popping combination of the Three-Shell Game and the Cups and Balls. Daryl follows with the classic Sack’s Dice Routine and if you take the time to learn it, you’ll never leave the house without a pair of dice. Finally, everything you always wanted to know about dice stacking is ably demonstrated and taught by James Zachary. In The Art of Dice Stacking, the video companion to his seminal book, Zack Stacks, you’ll learn how to create a stack fourteen dice high, in addition to dice cup final loads, taking the stacks down one die at a time, and lots more.

Dice are intriguing and romantic props that guarantee spectator interest and these routines represent the best dice magic ever created.

The Ninja Rings DVD - Shoot Ogawa

The World's Best Close-Up Linking Ring Routine

When you hear the word Ninja many thoughts enter your mind. Concepts like total precision, unbelievable skill and the ability to do the impossible. The present day Ninjas are the highest caliber Japanese magicians. In 1989 Masahiro Yanagida came to Hollywood’s world famous Magic Castle and performed his fabulous Ninja Rings routine for the first time in America. Everyone who witnessed his performance in the legendary close-up gallery could not believe their eyes. The spectators gasped as they saw the small steel rings melt through each other time and time again. The Ninja Rings is a routine that, once learned, will become a mainstay of your arsenal.

This DVD starts with performances by Masahiro and Keiko. Keiko was the top demonstrator of the Ninja Rings at Wizards Inn. Shoot Ogawa performs the routine before a live audience, then explains each technique in excruciating detail. Nothing is left out. After each technique has been learned, Shoot does the entire routine again, but this time very slowly. This clearly puts the entire routine into the correct order for the student. At every step of the way, Shoot explains every facet in precise detail and includes many tips for proper performance.

Now, even I have learned a few new moves from this... And added them to my routine! - M

Chicago Bar Magic - Randy Wakeman DVD!

Throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s a brand of bold and direct close-up magic was developed in Chicago, Illinois. These effects were known for simplicity, clarity and strength of effect, and the powerful response they elicited.

Chicago magical legends Don Alan, "Heba Haba Al" Andrucci, "Senator" Clarke Crandall, Frank Everhart, Jack Murray, Johnny Paul, James Patrick Ryan, and Matt Schulien forged their reputations with these effects, and now you can too! While these quick, direct, simple, baffling effects delighted Chicago audiences for decades, they were far less widely known and practiced outside of Chicago nightlife venues. Many of these terrifically effective pieces have evaporated into the ether, for no other reason than the fact that they are not the "latest." To say that you could make your living performing these eternal impossibilities is beyond dispute. Many of our most talented trailblazers have done precisely that! Now's your chance! If you're just getting your feet wet in close-up entertainment, let this information serve as a springboard for mastering quality magic. If you're a close-up veteran, you'll find yourself wondering why you aren't performing these gems regularly. (It's our suspicion that you will be soon!)

Davebury Delusion David Lederman's winning routine that takes the sting out of the swindle, and adds a distinctly satisfying payoff!
Exploding Aces As terrific as twisting effects get, with a knock 'em dead transformation followed by your choice of two mind-melting, reputation-making blow offs!
Stacked Impact Join the ranks of Alan, Crandall, Paul and Ryan with this well-proven Dice Stacking crowd-pleaser with your choice of two powerful punchlines!
Standing Ten Count Spectator counts ten cards; they continue to multiply in their hands until the jolting juggernaut finale!
Red Hot Mama One of magic's finest openers; Al Leech's signature effect, as beautifully baffling as it is easy to perform. It just might be the best surprise transposition ever.
The Big Stop The classic "stop" effect has never had more clarity and sheer audience impact!
I Chink So A deceptive "Chink-A-Chink," punctuated with a unique and unforgettable "in-the-spectator's-hands" finish!
The Chicago Stab Suitable for the bar, table, or cabaret, this is a spectacular Chicago crowd-pleaser, as easy as it is strong!
All this, and much more, including a truly invisible handling of the Johnny Paul/Jim Ryan Bill Tear. All are performed before impromptu audiences, and clearly taught so that you can perform these treasures with unprepared objects in no time flat!

Thumb Tips (World's Greatest Magic)

The thumb tip is one of the most utilized and valuable gimmicks in magic but it also wins the title of perhaps its most badly used. However, the thumb tip, despite repeated exposures, can still create miracles when used properly and judiciously.

On this DVD, you’ll see ways to use a thumb tip that you’ve never dreamed of. Michael Ammar presents a poignant story with just a few coins that your audience will always remember. Richard Osterlind tears open a signed packet of sugar substitute and miraculously restores it while Roger Klause conjures silver coins from thin air with just a borrowed dollar bill. If you think you know the traditional vanishing handkerchief, you’re about to be badly fooled by Alexander de Cova and Paul Wilson. Jeff Sheridan offers his versions of two classic thumb tip pieces while Ted Lesley and Dan Harlan demonstrate effects suitable for a stand-up performance. Larger stage tricks like 20th Century Silks and Blendo are turned into powerful close-up effects by Fernando Keops and Steve Dacri and Al Schneider performs a quaint mystery with nothing more than a borrowed dime. Rounding out this set is Paul Diamond with a post-graduate course in thumb tip work with finesses that will vastly improve your own handling of this marvelous tool.

Don’t be misled by those who dismiss the thumb tip as “old school.” There are a dozen performers and 14 performances and explanations here that provide conclusive evidence that there’s still a lot of magical life left in this wonderful utility gimmick.

Running Time Approximately 1 hr 40 min

Rubber Bands


Extreme Rubber Band Magic - Joe Rindfleisch

Magic performed with rubber bands has grown in popularity with close-up magicians in recent years mostly because it encompasses all of the elements that make for effective close-up magic. The effects are easy to understand, highly visual, very magical and are done with everyday objects that everyone is familiar with.

Joe Rindfleisch has taken rubber band magic to an entirely new level and on this DVD, you’ll see effects that will fool even experienced band workers. Besides the usual penetrations and broken band restorations (and Joe has some groundbreaking work on those, also!), you’ll watch (and later, learn) effects with rubber bands that have appeared no where else in the literature of magic aside from Joe’s work. What’s more, the effects are grouped in performance sets, allowing you, once mastered, to perform mini-acts of rubber band wizardry.

Learn rubber band magic from the man who wrote the book (Elastrix Vol. 2 — The Encyclopedia of Rubber Band Magic was actually written by Stephen Minch and featured Joe Rindfleisch’s original creations). These aren’t your father’s tricks with rubber bands. This is rubber band magic — to the extreme!

Matrix / Coin Assemblies (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

Close-up magicians have known for years that audiences love the classic plot where four coins individually placed under four playing cards magically gather under one of the cards. It could be convincingly argued that Al Schneider began a revolution in coin magic when he synthesized earlier versions of this plot and came up with Matrix, a direct and streamlined handling of the coin assembly that has spawned countless variations.

On this DVD, the very best versions of Matrix have been collected along with several of its earlier ancestors. You’ll begin your journey by learning the effect that started it all by the man who invented it – Al Schneider’s classic Matrix. You’ll also learn various handlings of the basic version from Bill Malone and Michael Ammar. Once mastered, you can move on to some eye-popping Reverse Matrix effects, where the coins actually go back to where they came from, with Aldo Colombini and Dan Fleshman. If you’d like to add a killer finale, check out routines by J.C. Wagner and Harry Allen and to prove that there’s more to Matrix than coins hopping around, there’s Dan Harlan’s presentation with a horror movie theme. There’s also Johnny Thompson’s classic presentation with a handkerchief and Derek Dingle’s version of Ross Bertram’s Coin Assembly. And, to top it all off, there’s historic footage of Ross Bertram also performing and explaining his classic Assembly.

Coins Across (World's Greatest Magic)

Of the various plots that make up the world of coin magic, Coins Across has always held a special place in the heart, and repertoires, of close-up magicians. Audiences always seem to be intrigued by the idea of coins traveling invisibly between the performer’s hands, which accounts for the enormous popularity of this very magical effect.

On this DVD, you'll see ten different takes on the Coins Across effect. The approaches are different but the main thing they all have in common is that there are absolutely no gaffed coins required for any of the versions presented here. You'll see Johnny Thompson perform Dai Vernon's Winged Silver, perhaps the version that started it all. Michael Ammar demonstrates why his Incredible Coins Across is appropriately named as the coins travel into the spectator's hand – and the last one appears visibly in his open hand! You'll find easy-to-do versions such as Alexander de Cova's Chinese Money Mystery and Paul Diamond's Flying Eagles to more technically-demanding versions such as Jay Sankey's Mr. Clean Coins Across, Michael Close's Too Ahead and Ross Bertram's Passing the Buck.

From classic handlings from Michael Skinner and Al Schneider to interpretations with a surprise ending, such as Fernando Keops' offering, there's enough material here to enable you to pass coins back and forth between your hands for a lifetime.

Coins Through Table (World's Greatest Magic)

View Clip

An anywhere, anytime miracle that you’ll perform for the rest of your life!

Since entering the literature of magic in the 1600’s, the effect of passing coins through a solid table top has captured the imagination of magicians and has led to countless variations and versions. The trick’s inclusion in the repertoires of some of close-up magic’s most illustrious performers speaks to its utterly mystifying effect on an audience.

In this volume, you’ll see eight different versions of this close-up magic favorite with different methodologies, presentations and even finales. David Roth begins a performance and exposition of the original Al Baker approach of passing the coins through the table one at a time while Gary Ouellet presents Dai Vernon’s version from Stars of Magic. Steve Dacri demonstrates a version taught to him by Slydini and refined by Vernon while John Mendoza uses six coins rather than the traditional four and finishes the routine with an unbelievable final production. David Roth returns with the traditional Han Ping Chien technique for passing three coins through at one time followed by Larry Jennings with a wonderful no-lap method. Johnny Thompson presents his own version of the Baker routine followed by an in-the-air transposition of three coins ala Han Ping Chien, while David Regal presents an innovative method – and presentation – for this close-up classic.

Passing a solid object through another solid object has always been a favorite plot of magicians and the commonness of coins and tables only adds another layer of mystery and fascination to it. Learn one (or more!) of these methods and you’ll be ready to entertain and bewilder anyone at anytime with objects that are completely ordinary and familiar.

Professional Rope Routines (World's Greatest Magic)

Rope magic has always been a favorite of performers and audiences alike mostly due to the ordinary properties employed. Everyone is familiar with rope and when it does unexpected and impossible things, a truly magical effect is created. On this DVD, you’ll see six of the world’s most entertaining magicians perform and teach their favorite rope routines.

You’ll see the hilarious routine that made Michael Finney one of the busiest comedy magicians in the world and Dan Harlan’s miracle rope routine that you can do any time you have a length of rope and a pair of scissors. Aldo Colombini will have you laughing so hard you might just miss how magical —and commercial—his routine is. There’s Jeff Sheridan’s routine also, tempered by decades of performing on the streets of the world’s greatest cities, that features sequences where the scissors become as much a part of the magic as the rope. Ted Lesley’s very funny routine combines elements of many different rope magic classics, including the Professor’s Nightmare. Finally, Flip’s routine is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before as a solid loop of rope—an impossible object in itself—is taken from a length of rope, linked onto it and finally integrated fully back into the rope from which it came.

The other is a two-ring routine with many visual surprises. Daryl and Eric DeCamps both offer a routine with a small harness ring and a cord that are both perfect for walk-around performers while Flip showcases a routine with a linking ring and a piece of rope that can bring this classic of magic to the biggest stage. Mark Leveridge performs and teaches a simple three-phase routine that integrates a presentation that is guaranteed to get your audiences involved in the magic while Frank Balzerak presents a routine that not only uses some of the classic Ring and Rope sequences but also incorporates elements of the classic Cut and Restored Rope.

Ring on Rope routines are quick, visual and extremely magical . . . and on this DVD, you’ll see, and learn, in the routines presented just about every move ever invented. Learn them the way they’re taught, or mix and match the moves to create your very own Ring on Rope extravaganza!
