Magic & Mentalism: page 22

"I pause my magic show to bring you a special public service announcement. It has come to my attention that someone has regretfully become his own grandpa. Needless to say he has become the laughing stock of all far and wide. This should never happen to anyone. Consequently, through the help of this diagram, I am going to explain how it happened so you may not ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation."

For forty years this interlude has proven itself an enjoyable diversion for the middle of my magic show - demonstrating the versatility of the performer. No singing ability is required...

In this, the first part of Simon's accoladed three volume video package, we begin with "The Wobbly Wombat Set." This is full blown, non-stop unrehearsed action, where the audience and the magic are both the real deal.

Included are sterling performances of Simon's latest and greatest handlings of "Fingered Number Three," "Card To Wallet," "The Lemming Ace Exchange," and Simon's stunning multiple selection routine: "The Wobbly Wombat."

The performance is spiced with gags and bits of business too numerous to mention. The audience reaction will make you a true believer in Simon's high-impact,...

Simon Lovell at his very best, performing (and teaching) Heartless, Another Departed Point, Sleight-of-Tongue, Paper Roses, and much, much more.

Volume two begins with "The Heartless Set." Again, full blown non-stop unrehearsed action with an incredible audience and incredible magic. Included are excellent performances of Simon's finest handlings of "Heartless," "Another Departed Point," "Sleight-of-Tongue," and Simon's wonderful, poignant and memorable "Paper Roses." The performance is laced with jokes and gags the entire way. The audience reaction for this performance leaves nothing to...

In this final volume, we begin with the "Packed Wallet Set." As before, Simon begins with the spontaneous magic and audience interaction as only he can do. Included are striking performances of "Lovey Dovey Sandwich","Elmsley Cut Elmsley," "The Packed Wallet," and Simon's show-stopping story deck routine, "Who Killed Lilly Longlegs?"

On all three volumes, after the performances we sneak away to the sanctuary of Bat Cave Studios where Simon breaks down all the performing details and tips the real work. Then, in a new analysis session, Simon gives you the why, the reasoning behind everything...

Stunts of the stage and big top from starting to starring.

An ideal lesson and source book for obtaining information on acquiring show skills. Learn them and perform at fairs, traveling circuses, rodeos, "in one" before the curtain at magic shows, on cruise ships, or on TV. Let's face it. Audiences love show stunts, such as juggling, balance feats, acrobatic demonstrations, and the like. They appreciate the level of skill and dedication that these artists possess.

Because these acts are somewhat of a novelty, they fit in well with other entertainments, making an extravaganza that is a...

Available again after being off the market for over 50 years! One of the great effects in magic has been a production of a bowl of fire; but, most of the methods were not sure-fire and were too mechanical or worked with acid and other dangerous methods. Plus the fact that they were always small flat bowls that had to be carried under the magician's coat, etc.

Here is a sure fire non-mechanical or chemical method where the performer does not have to carry a body load and produces a large massive bowl of fire from beneath an unprepared foulard with no secret pockets.

The perfect sensational...

I have been a professional magician for 56 years, having performed in many Spanish-speaking countries like Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela, Mexico, and Spain. In Spain, I remained for sixteen years and performed hundreds of shows, including national television. I have also been on cruise ships in the Mediterranean several times. ...

This work builds on Wilker's The Creation of Magic. It is helpful to have read it, but it is not required.

There is a definite mathematical theme running through this ebook. Not that there is any heavy math involved, just that the routines have an underlying mathematical basis. Wilker has a variety of interesting presentations and throw-offs that disguise the mathematics during the performance.
