DVD (download+stream) in Magic & Conjuring: page 10

Special guest appearance by Cameron Francis. Contents and contributors:

• JOHANN’S FOLLY (Ryan Matney): A great presentation for a standard Hofzinser theme.
• APACHE (Aldo Colombini): A stunning transposition of four cards with some comedy in it.
• MAYO-ACES (Didier Dupré): Two Jokers find the four Aces! You will love this routine.
• TAKE OFF (Aldo Colombini): A card vanishes from an envelope and reappears face up in the middle of the deck.
• THOSE LEAPING ACES (Paul Gordon): The four Aces change place and find two selected cards.
• THE OLD ROMANTICS (Aldo Colombini): You produce the same Ace four times and at the end...

This routine appeared in The Art Of Close-Up Magic Vol. 1 written by Lewis Ganson. A Chinese bowl is shown empty and placed mouth downwards on the table, sponge balls appear and multiply repeatedly. Eventually there is a fruit or production. A top class routine that was performed by the late Fred Kaps in his close-up routines. This routine is not difficult to do and is performed by Cameron Francis as part of the Aldo Colombini Tribute series.

Created by Raphaël Czaja, performed by Aldo Colombini. An incredible version of the classic "B'Wave" where any card can be selected. No 'equivocal' choices! You show four-of-a-kind (say Queens). One Queen is FREELY selected. This is the only Queen in the packet, the other three cards are blank!

Requires two blank-faced cards and two blank-backed cards.

Performed by Cameron Francis himself. Stacks can allow you to perform miracles under the fairest and cleanest conditions imaginable. Stuff you just can’t do impromptu. Stuff that will seriously blow your spectator's minds. This download DVD contains three such effects. Each trick requires a full deck set up and each one is self-working. Just add presentation and stir vigorously. The three effects use completely normal decks which, after the trick is over, can be shuffled up and used to produce all sorts of impromptu miracles. All of them make very good openers. Give at least one of these effects...

Easy magic tricks with matches (toothpicks, golf tees, etc.)

CONTENTS:

• NOTHING-TO-DO MATCHES (George Blake and Ken de Courcy): A match is inserted in each fist of a spectator, one match head down and one match head up. When the spectator opens his hands the two matches are now both the same way up.
• BACK, BACK AND RESTORED (Ken de Courcy): A match is broken into three pieces. Two pieces are dropped into the left hand and the head goes into the pocket. The left hand is opened and all three pieces are there. This is repeated. At the end, the match is restored.
• THE TWO THIEVES (Anonymous): You tell a story of two...

18 of the best puzzles, gags and brain teasers with matches (toothpicks, straws or golf tees). Included is the famous story of Romeo and Juliet!

Funny stuff for magicians, MCs and other entertainers. For a pro just one new gag or bit of comedy that fits into his program is worth a lot of money. Even though Aldo demonstrates these gags not in front of a life audience, it is so much better to see a video and get a sense of how they have to be delivered, rather than just reading about them. Here you have a sampling of some great gags:

• FLIP-LINES
• BANTERS
• AD-LIBS
• COMEDY SIGHT BITS
• EMCEE BLOCKBUSTERS

More flip-lines, banters, ad-libs, comedy sight bits, and emcee blockbusters. The sequel of one of the funniest, most unusual DVDs on comedy ever produced (Gagbuster)! Another collection of visual gags and comedy bits that you will use in your shows.

"I've been a big Jeff Stone fan for a while now. Not only is he a good friend, he creates powerful, direct and -most of all- commercial close-up magic. I also really respect Jeff as a teacher. He really knows what he's talking about. 'GEMSTONES' is the perfect opportunity to get to know Jeff and learn how his very clever mind ticks!" - Jay Sankey

"Every single trick on it is worth practicing and performing, I think my favorite effect on there is probably Quasi-Photo, I can't wait to practice it. I can really tell you put a whole lot of thought into this project." - David M

Created by Cameron Francis. Performed by Aldo Colombini. You introduce a packet of four cards blank on both sides. You split the cards into two piles of two cards each. Two cards are selected from a deck. You push the top card of one pile and on the lower card a message is revealed which reads, SPREAD THE DECK. The deck is spread and in the middle a face-up selection appears. The top card of the second pile is pushed forward and there's a message on the second card that says, TURN OVER THE TOP CARD. The top card of the deck is NOT the selection, but in turning over the top card of the pile a...

An outstanding packet trick with a smashing effect. Four Jokers turn face down one at a time. A Joker is placed into a pocket. The other cards are distributed on the table and they are still four, but now they are the four Fives!

Requires two double faced cards.

The magician presents to the spectator a deck of blue backed cards and shows that this is just a regular deck of 52 cards. The magician places the deck, face up, on a table. This is the last time that the magician will touch the deck.

The magician invites the spectator to cut the deck approximately in half and place it next to the original pile. The spectator is then invited to select one of the two piles which is then put to one side.

From the selected pile the magician invites the spectator to deal the cards face-up and to stop at ANY card they wish. This gives them a genuinely free...

A closing routine with multiple climaxes. You produce the four Aces and place three of them in an envelope leaving out the Ace of Spades. Then you produce ten Spade cards in order. You then try to produce the Jack of Spades, Queen of Spades and King of Spades but the three Aces appear and the three face cards are found in the envelope. Then, all the Diamond cards appear in order, then the Club cards and the Heart cards. Amazing finale. Uses a regular deck of cards.

A routine by André Robert, performed by Aldo Colombini. Visual magic with several climaxes! The final climax will 'kill' your audiences! Eight blue-backed cards are split into two packets. In one packet all the cards turn face up. Then the eight cards alternate face up and face down. Finally, all the cards are red-backed and with crosses on their backs!

Requires four double-backed cards.

The creator of these effects, Jozsef Kovacs, is a Hungarian magician who became interested in magic at the age of four. He was living in a small village but only when he moved to Budapest he was able to find a magic store and the possibility to find books and videos. He published a series of booklets and lecture notes and you can find most of his work here on Lybrary.com. He likes close-up magic but card magic is his real love.
