Midnight
Show by Scott Alexander
We
are featuring this DVD because it contains an effect that provides
the ultimate solution to the "Russian Roulette" plot.
The name of this trick is Shattered
and it is fully explained in this DVD.
Scott
Alexander has been performing magic professionally for many
years. All the magic in this DVD is very commercial and audience
tested. We are sure that you will find great ideas and effects
in this volume. We highly recommend it!
One of our favorite effects of all time is the Torn and Restored Thread. It is a classic, highly visual and truly magical.
Tony Clark's stage presentation of this effect is probably one of the best ideas we have seen in a long time. He has completely revolutionized the effect by attaching the thread to a balloon. This simple adaptation brings the effect to a higher level. It gives it motivation, theatricality and makes it even more visual. It is so powerful that Tony closes his show with this trick.
The effect is not difficult to perform, and Tony clearly explains all the subtleties in this DVD. The DVD comes with the presentation, the setup and the explanation of the trick, along with 30 ft. of special string to get you started.
Tony
Clark's DVDs are one of the best resources to learn the basics
of dove magic.
This
DVD is valuable because it explains the care, handling, training
of doves and how to travel with them; it provides you with tips
on how to tailor your costume for this type of magic; and even
contains several dove productions and routines you can use.
This is the DVD we recommend to anyone that wants to get started
with dove productions.
This
video teaches you to produce doves with NO body loads. This
material is ideal for magicians who perform at private parties,
school assemblies or anywhere where body loads are impractical.
Some
of the effects in this DVD are: Dove from Kleenex, Dove from
Newspaper, Dove Bag Routines, Latex Dove deceptions, etc.
Another
excellent instructional DVD on Dove Magic. Tony teaches you
about how to prepare your jacket, vest techniques, dove holders,
shirt fronts, loop management and a great sleeve steal.
If
you want to learn dove magic, this is an outstanding resource!
One
of the most common questions people ask us is: How do I get started
with Card Manipulation?
Although
there are several books on the subject, we think that the DVD
format is one of the best methods ever devised to learn this highly
visual magic.
Jeff
McBride has gathered his extensive knowledge on the subject and
made 3 jam-packed volumes of every card manipulation move you
can think of.
He
is not only a magnificent performer, but one of the best teachers
in magic.
We
are now selling his DVDs both individually and as a complete set.
George
Schindler is the Dean of the Society of American Magicians,
and deservedly so. He is an amazing magician, a delightful entertainer,
a magic dealer, one of the most knowledgeable persons on magic,
and a wonderful human being.
He
has been a working professional magician for over 50 years,
and in this DVD he shares his lifetime of knowledge as he performs
and teaches the routines he has used throughout his career.
Believe me, these are solid professional routines that will
amaze your audiences. And they are not difficult to do either...George
will explain not only the moves, but the psychology behind the
effects he does. There is enough material in this DVD to make
a living as a magician if that is what you want.
Some
of the effects in this DVD are:
- Sponge Ball Routine – Extremely commercial and it happens
in people’s hands.
- Coin in the Ring
- Card to Pocket
- Ambitious Card
- Card to Wallet
- Comic Prediction
- Silk Penetration
- Chop Cup Routine – I saw him do this at the last SAM
Convention. Even I am going to do this!
- Polaroid Money
We
are very selective about the DVD’s we sell. The material
in them has to be 100% professional – which means that
the magician has to have performed it for real people in real
situations – and you will get your money’s worth
when you learn at least one routine from it. George Schindler’s
Entertainment First is such a disc.
This
DVD contains powerful manipulations performed with the grace
and skill that only Shimada possesses. This legendary dove performer
illustrates his skilled diversity as he manipulates with thimbles,
cards, billiard balls and more.
Shimada
performs and explains the technique he uses for:
This
is probably the best set of DVDs we are selling. More often
than not magicians contact us all the time to show us a move
or a specific trick or something they are working on. In many
cases we are very impressed with their skill, dedication and
aptitude.
However,
having a bunch moves and tricks is not enough. In order to go
to the next level you have to put everything together in order
to sell YOU as in individual persona.
Get
Your Act Together!, is for the serious performer who wishes
to learn how to develop, build and improve his or her stage
act.
Some
of the subjects on this 2-DVD set are:
Selecting
material that is best for you.
Evaluating
your strengths and talents.
How
to clearly direct focus in all aspects of your act.
Structuring
a routine.
Using
props and choreography.
Applause
cues.
Smooth
transitions.
Selecting
appropriate music, and much more!
There
are multiple examples of successful professional magicians including
Becky Blaney, Jason Byrne, Christopher Hart, Jeff Hobson, and
many more.
Joanie
Spina is known for her years as artistic co-director and choreographer
for David Copperfield. She now directs full length productions
worldwide, as well as variety artists with self-contained acts.
We
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this DVD set. (Note from webmaster: I wish
I had this years ago!)
These
are some of the best DVD's in the market. If you want to learn
great magic and have outstanding material in your repertoire,
you have to learn from the best!
Johnny
Thompson is a magician's magician. He is one of the few performers
we know that is known as a "GP" or "General Practitioner".
He does it all extremely well: close-up, parlor, stage. His knowledge
of magic is encyclopedic. Apart from having a busy performing
schedule, he is the magic consultant for numerous magic stars
in the business, like Penn and Teller, Lance Burton, Criss Angel,
and more.
In
this DVD, we see the Professor Dai Vernon himself giving us
a history of both the Cone and the Dye Tube effects, along with
the proper handling of these props. His tips on their handling
are worth the price of the DVD. Like how to tuck the handkerchief
in a dye tube so that it won't come out prematurely, and the
move where the magician pretends to place a ball in the Cone
while hiding it in his hand.
Dai
Vernon was a legend in the world of magic. In this DVD he shares
is 80 years plus of experience.
The
footage on this DVD was originally produced for VHS format by
Gary Ouellet in the 1980s. This footage has been totally remastered
by L&L Publishing.

front of an audience thousands of times. With these DVDs Fielding

he does what he does.

trove of magical insights and material, but because Fielding
has by far the best handling we have seen of:
-
The Nielsen Latex Dove
- The Nielsen Vanishing Coke Bottle - This routine alone is
worth the price of the DVDs!

Egg Bag is a classic of magic, and we literally never "go
out to a show without it". This DVD is one of the best
resources available to learn this classic.

and Charlie Miller (as explained by Johnny Thompson).

The Miser's
Dream DVD
(as taught by Chris Capehart)
The
Miser's Dream DVD
Chris
Capehart is a great magician: Not only is he entertaining and
very funny, but he has an innate understanding of how a magic
routine should be structured to produce a sense of wonderment
in his audience.
In
this DVD he teaches you his approach to the Miser's Dream effect,
where coins appear in the air and are dropped in a bucket. In
our opinion this is one of the best magic tricks ever. Period.
Chris has performed this routine thousands of times under every
possible condition and has gained a great reputation from it.
His timing is exquisite and the reaction he gets from laymen
is priceless.
In
addition to the Miser's Dream, he teaches you his Coins Across
Routine, followed by his Continuous Coin Production, One in
the Hand and Two in the Pocket, and the Total Vanish of all
Coins. All the above routines are performed with regular coins
(no gaffs).
