The amazing card magic of Richard Vollmer. Richard Vollmer, from France, is very well known to produce card magic based above all on subtleties rather than difficult sleight of hand. In this collection, Richard gives us ten of his best routines. Study them and you will have incredible magic in your repertoire. All the effects are performed with a regular deck of cards and most of them are totally impromptu.

CONTENTS:

• DOUBLE CHAMELEON: You show four blue-backed jokers. A card is selected from a red-backed deck (say the KC). The jokers all become four red-backed KS's and then go back to...

This is a reputation maker routine. It uses a regular deck of cards and it is totally impromptu. You show the four Kings and four black cards. The Kings are placed one by one among the black cards. They disappear and reappear in one packet. Then the Kings are paired up with the four black cards. The Kings disappear and you are left with eight black cards. Finally, you produce the Kings one by one using different stunning methods. Over a dozen effects!

Nick Trost was a master at creating amazing tricks and routines based on subtleties rather than difficult sleight of hand.

Most of these tricks are impromptu and they all use a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• SIGNIFICATOR CARDS: A freely selected card is lost in the deck and revealed by four cards picked by a spectator.
• THE RESTLESS COURT CARDS: The twelve court cards are used. You place them in three packets and then switch their positions. They follow each other in their respective piles.
• AN EQUALIZER REVEALMENT: Two cards are freely selected and replaced. The deck is shuffled face up and...

[Please note that this is a four part course. If your intention is to become a stage hypnotist we strongly discourage you from only getting one or two parts. You will not get the full breadth and depth of information.]

This fourth part, a download DVD, shows again an entire hypnotism show (a different one than the one shown in Part 3) which takes place in a high school. There is a running commentary and interview in the background which instructs the viewer while the show is ongoing. This commentary is very valuable information which will assist the aspiring hypnosis student to gain profiency very quickly. We do not advise watching this video unless part three is viewed first to accustom the viewer to the show sequence. Otherwise it will be hard to follow the show and the commentary at the same time....

This third part, a download DVD, shows an entire hypnotism show from begin to end. It is an outdoor fair show that starts quite slow - almost boring. There is lots of distracting noise. Still Mark Lewis spins his hypnotic web and leads the audience to a hypnotic experience many have never seen before.

This video should be watched for entertainment only since there is no instruction of any kind depicted on it. The purpose of this recording is to amplify the information on the Audio recording and on Part 2. Another very important purpose, however, is for the viewer to understand the sequence...

This second part, a download DVD, is a very thorough overview of waking suggestion tests which are performed at the beginning of the show. These all occur before the actual hypnotic induction and are excellent entertainment in themselves even though nobody is actually hypnotised just yet. These tests also have the valuable purpose of conditioning people to react to suggestions and help in selecting the best possible subjects.

This recording is a mix of a taped seminar and recordings of actual hypnotism shows performed by Mark Lewis....

Ten powerful routines on the classic theme. All performed with regular cards.

Contents:

• FOURTEEN-CARD OIL & WATER (Nick Trost): An easy routine basically self working.
• ITALIAN DRESSING (Aldo Colombini): I am biased but this is my favorite oil and water routine. Four phases.
• OIL & QUEENS (Roy Walton): The routine became a classic and still...

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

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...

Impromptu card magic performed with a regular deck of cards.

Contents:

• KNOCK THEM DEAD (Paul Gordon): A freely selected card is revealed as the only face-up card in a packet.
• NAME YOUR CARD (Roy Baker): After a card is selected you cut the deck into several packets. The spectator picks one and from that one card is chosen: The selection.
• IN THE CODE (Karl Fulves): A card selected by a process of elimination, ends up face up in the middle of the deck.
• THE MYSTERY OF THE PENTHOUSE (Nick Trost): The four Jacks placed in four different spots in the deck, assemble to the top.
• ELMER'S WEDDING (Peter Duffie): You show the Kings and...

Ten easy routines with rings and ropes. All the effects are performed with regular props (3 to 5 inch diameter rings, ropes and silks). They are suitable for close-up, walk-around, stage, etc. You may tie several effects together to create a unique routine.

CONTENTS:

• RING AND ROPE MOVE (George Hills): A rope and a ring. The ends and the middle are always in view but the ring penetrates the rope.
• HINDU RING MYSTERY (Eddie Joseph): The perfect follow-up for the previous trick. The ring penetrates the rope and becomes free.
• THE CHEEKY ROPE AND RING TRICK (Aldo Colombini): A ring is threaded on the...

A heart-to-heart interview with Rachel Colombini conducted by Cameron Francis. Her beginnings in England, the move to the USA, how she and Aldo met, her difficult moment with open heart surgery, the recovery and more. She then shares a trick never before released and, why not, sing a song!

A candid intimate interview with the Italian Teddy Bear. With wit, honesty, and lots of inside details, Aldo shares with his fans his life as a comedy magician and lecturer; his view on magic, tells about his career, the move to the USA, his hobbies, and how he was able to survive until 60 just with a deck of cards and a piece of rope! He also teaches an easy Italian recipe for a great pasta dish, and he may even play the guitar and sing a song if pressed by Rachel (and helped by a glass of wine). Of course, he will also show and explain a trick never before released.

Aldo and Rachel have...

These effects are creations by Didier Dupré. After the DVD Cartemania, the DVD that made Didier famous all over the world, we now present three more routines from this clever French magician. You will love them and we predict you will use them all the time. They all use regular cards.

CONTENTS:

• JOKER INVERSION: Four blue-backed Jokers turn around several times changing direction (at the beginning they are oriented towards the performer, then towards the spectators and then again towards the performer). At the end, they change into four Jokers with different colored backs. Everything can be examined. ...

An effect by Nick Trost. One of the most incredible routines with two (regular) decks of cards. A spectator selects four cards from a red-backed deck, without looking at their faces. These four cards are inserted into the middle of the blue-backed deck. Now you remove four blue cards, show them to be indifferent and insert them into the red deck. The spectator’s four red-backed cards are turned over, and they are all Kings. Your four blue-backed cards are turned over to show they have changed into the four Kings! A double climax! Two regular decks are used (not supplied) and you end clean with two complete...

An incredible poker demonstration routine in several phases with a regular deck of cards shuffled and cut by a spectator. You are going to deal yourself several good hands including four Aces and finishing up with a Royal Flush. Incredible and so easy.

Ekaf is 'fake' reversed. The reason for this title is that these card flourishes and manipulations look stunning and difficult, but are for the most part relatively easy to do. It is therefore the ideal entry routine for somebody to get into flourishes,...
