Contents Include:

Sniper - One card is selected by the audience randomly and then put back into the deck. The magician places that deck on the table, and puts another card behind the deck. The magician shoots that card into the deck and it slides into the exact place where the audience's card is.

Assassin - The audience selects a card and puts it back into the deck. The magician spreads the deck on the table, and takes out a random card. The card is then shot into the spread deck, and accurately hits the chosen card.

Random Change - The magician divides the whole deck into 4 piles casually, and reveals 4 Kings on the top of each pile. The magician carries on with these 4 Kings and transforms them into 4 Aces in the blink of an eye.

Machine Gun - The magician finds out 4 Aces as the assistants, and then asks 4 spectators to select a card individually. After putting 4 selected cards back into the deck, the magician divides the deck into 4 piles, and sets each Ace behind each pile. Then the Aces are shot one by one into the piles to find out the spectators' cards.

Mind Freak - The magician asks the audience to remember one card when riffling the deck. Without extra moves, the magician immediately puts the whole deck onto the spectator's hand, and asks him/her to repeat that card silently in the mind. The magician then senses the correct answer and reveals it with a mental style. Furthermore, the selected card is reversed in the deck for a second surprise.

I hate Lu Chen's ACAAN - The audience and the magician exchange their roles, and proceed with the classic "A.C.A.A.N" routine to find out the named card at the designated position.

ITH Alone In A Crowd - One card is selected by the audience and put back into the middle of the deck. The magician turns over this middle part and it's sandwiched between the other two piles. The magician then shows off with the acrobatic-like move to reverse the middle part. Nothing done seems helpful for finding the card. However, the magician succeeds when the audience's card is found out the only one left face-up.

Marked Deck of Poor Quality - The magician asks the audience to select a card and put it back into the deck. Following that, the magician reveals the secret that a marked deck is employed. However, due to the poor quality, the marks are so hard to recognize. Seemingly having an awkward condition, the magician gives a jaw-dropping finale to reveal the audience's card.

English & Japanese Subtitles Available

Recall by Tom Crosbie and Wizard Fx Productions - DVD

Fri, 11 May 2012 03:17:06 GMT

Wizard FX Productions are proud to present Tom Crosbie's Recall. Recall is designed as a complete guide to the Memorised Deck. Many performers have never used a memorised deck as it is considered difficult to learn. However on this project Tom not only teaches you how to learn the concept quickly and easily but also goes through everything else you will need as well.

On disc one Tom talks about types of stacks along with their pros and cons. He then explains over 20 moves and sleights that are needed when working with a memorised deck. Finally he presents his 8 favourite effects that can be performed with ANY memorised deck.

On disc two Tom explains the Shadow Stack, the only stack created with the modern magician in mind. The Shadow Stack has an unbelievable amount of features built in that will allow you to perform gambling routines, spelling routines, super clean ACANN routines, four of a kind productions and lots more. The Shadow Stack also doubles up as a story deck making the stack even more commercial. Finally tips his work on jazzing and the trick that cannot be explained. This advice alone is worth the price of the DVD.

If you have never worked with a memorised deck you have to buy this project. However if you have used memorised decks tho really have to buy this project

Oil & Water (World's Greatest Magic)- DVD

Tue, 01 May 2012 22:44:10 GMT

The basic plot of the card effect that we know today as Oil and Water can be traced back to the 1940s and a Walter Gibson trick from the pages of The Jinx. It was Ed Marlo who attached the name "Oil and Water" to the effect (in addition to most likely creating the greatest number of methods for the effect.) The premise of the trick is maddeningly simple: black and red playing cards, usually in small packets, continually separate despite the magician's best efforts to mix them.

On this DVD, you'll see an amazing variety of ways to accomplish this easy-to-follow and very magical-looking trick. Bill Malone begins with two methods; the first, an Ed Marlo creation, while technically challenging. is wonderfully visual while the second, created by Dave Solomon, uses some superb subtleties to accomplish the effect. David Regal manages to magically separate cards not only by face, but by back color while Larry Jennings presents a simple yet very theatrical version. Michael Ammar performs and teaches Roy Walton's classic trick where the colors not only separate but turn into completely different cards while Dan Fleshman uses just the Aces to wonderful effect. Josh Jay presents a hybrid routine with methods from a number of creators that will have your audience's eyes popping while Darwin Ortiz finishes up with his aptly named effect where not only do the cards in two small packets separate but so do the rest of the cards in the deck that was completely shuffled by a spectator.

The Oil and Water effect has been dismissed by armchair performers as something that only interests other magicians but you'll soon find that to be a spurious claim when you see the reactions these performers get from their audiences. The biggest problem you'll have with the material on this DVD is choosing which one to add to your act first!

Then he does the magical gesture upon the menu and the bottle.
When he lifts the menu, they see now an blue silk appeared in the bottle.
