This movie was taken by Ake Hallberg from Sweden. Location is Hyde Park in London during the 1980s. The 8mm film was sent via Ulf Morling to Martin Breese who released it on DVD. You will see two performances of Fred's fantastic Ambitious Card routine together with numerous sleights and color changes. You will also see his incredible Vanish of Coin in tie.

This film is really short but a gem for all who have never seen Fred Robinson perform life. For more on Fred's magic see The Magic of Fred Robinson by Peter Duffie.

Be ready for Halloween.

This is a dark, multi-phase routine perfect for anyone who appreciates magic with a more sinister tone.

• The participant selects and signs a card
• It is placed in their hands.
• When they turn the card over, a black pentagram has appeared on the face.
• You hold the card over a flame, and the pentagram vanishes from the card, and reappears on your palm.
• You then burn the face of the card, and the numbers "666" appear in white writing in the center of the scorch mark.

This is a two phase mentalism/card magic effect, involving a couple transpositions; both begin in the mind, then manifest into the physical. It's a fun and fairly simple routine that packs a punch and will have your participants wondering.

The first phase is an in-the-hands transposition of two spectator signed cards, and the second phase is a mental transposition of thought and a physical transformation of material.

• No duplicates
• No gimmicks
• No dual reality
• This is 100% clean

Come diventare artista di strada e vivere felice.

L’arte di strada: un piccolo grande mondo variegato, mutevole, effimero. Innanzitutto aperto; non solo a pioggia, vento e sole; è aperto a tutto e a tutti purché si sappia giocare il suo gioco, parlare la sua lingua, ascoltare la sua voce.

Perché la strada è palcoscenico e spazio espositivo, mercato e pulpito, crocicchio di voci e auditorium, la strada è gente e vita che scorre. Non richiede curricula né diplomi, recensioni, agganci o raccomandazioni. La strada è lì, per chi voglia percorrerla o fermarsi.

Ognuno con la sua...
