Cutting-edge sleight-of-hand mixed with hilarious comedy!
 |
I lecture to local magic clubs and at regional and national magic conventions all over the world. The effects and principles taught include some killer, and surprisingly-easy-to-do COMMERCIAL material. Something for absolutely EVERYBODY, close-up & parlour, ALL skill levels, cards, coins, rubber bands and a slew of miscellaneous ideas & tips to improve what you already do and to make your performing life much easier. A THREE-HOUR, HANDS-ON WORKSHOP (limited to 20 people) is also available at an additional cost. It would focus on 4-5 routines NOT featured in the lecture.

The visuals here go WAY BEYOND the original. (Watch a demo of THE "I HATE DAVID COPPERFIELD" TRICK by clicking on the "About" button below and scrolling to the bottom of that page) -- MORE ON "OIL & WATER - Sam Schwartz' wondrous three-phase, 8-card O & W routine with NO SLEIGHTS! NONE! Thanks to Sam for allowing me to include my handling of this gem. -- BEAR HANDS - A great packet trick for kids (or adults) where a bear jumps from a card onto a spectator's hand. -- UPLOOPTED - A horizontal card levitation that looks UNBELIEVABLE! (watch a demo of ELECTRICAL ARTLET/UPLOOPTED at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1Q68Bg7rSw&rel=0) -- JUST A BIT MORE ULTIMATE THAN JOHN MENDOZA'S "ULTIMATE TORN & RESTORED CARD" TORN & RESTORED CARD - The name says it all. In an e-mail to me, Mr. Mendoza (a close-up DEITY) said he thinks more of this method (of his trick which appeared in "The Book of John") than any of the "piece-by-piece" restorations out there. You're clean at the first and clean at the end. As a bonus, it's SUPER EASY to do even though the card is SIGNED ON BOTH SIDES! -- DEVASTATION - This might just be the BEST impromptu card trick ON THE PLANET! Tom Daugherty's totally impossible card location that'll devastate your audience (hence the name). Note: there's NOT ONE SLEIGHT in the entire trick! Works with a borrowed deck. Worth the price of the notes MANY TIMES over. ------ MISC MIRACLES ------ -- SAUSAGE FINGER ILLUSION - Remember the old optical illusion in which the tips of your forefingers are held together and, by focusing your gaze to a distant point, a little two-ended "sausage finger" appears in between? While explaining the premise to your audience, the sausage finger can actually be seen FLOATING IN SPACE BETWEEN THE TIPS OF YOUR FINGERS! Just as quickly as it appears, it vanishes completely! -- ELECTRICAL ARTLET - Boom box cord too short to reach the wall outlet? No problem; just draw an outlet on a pad of paper, plug in the cord and the music starts right up! Based on a Fantasio effect and used with his permission. (watch a demo of ELECTRICAL ARTLET/UPLOOPTED at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1Q68Bg7rSw&rel=0) -- MIRACLE COIN VANISH - This gets GASPS from spectators. Looks like real magic. (Note: a jacket or sport coat is required) -- THE HAT TRICK - The close-up version of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, suitable for restaurant workers. Now you have the perfect answer to the age-old challenge. -- KEWPIE - With the wave of a pen, a coin cleanly VANISHES from your fist, only to be visually dumped out of the cap of the pen. Everything is examinable BEFORE and AFTER as both pen and quarter are UNGIMMICKED! Pure sleight of hand at its finest. (Watch a demo of KEWPIE by clicking on the "Newsletter" button below) -- READY 2 LINK - A technique that makes the get-ready for the Linking Rubberbands SUPER EASY and TOTALLY INVISIBLE! Based on Roger Klause's brilliant concept of half-moves. -- EVERYTHING'S A RADIO - A real reputation maker! Make a radio station broadcast come out of anything: a ketchup bottle, a crayon, a drawing...ANYTHING! (Watch a demo of EVERYTHING'S A RADIO below) |
