THE MINOTAUR ended with volume 8 and no fourth issue. After several years Marv Leventhal and Dan Harlan have decided to release issue 4 of volume 8 as a two disc DVD set. This is what you are getting here in a download version. The first disc is new material strung together in a funny story line. Disc two features effects from the first seven volumes of THE MINOTAUR.

This is the final issue of THE MINOTAUR, the fourth issue of volume 8. It is one of the best magic DVDs I have seen and I am not alone in this opinion:

"The material is so much fun and so workable, not to mention the hysterical 'theme' of the DVD. I seriously think this is one of the best dvds of the year." - Cameron Francis

This DVD is not only filled with great effects, it also has a funny story line worth watching. The effects included are:

• Fairest of Them All: A pick a card effect where two cards are shown to indicate a chosen card by suit and value. Regardless of how “fair” the magician makes...

One effect from every volume of THE MINOTAUR performed and explained by Dan Harlan.

• Coins From Napkin by Steve Cohen: Three coins are produced from a napkin. Great for leading into a coin routine like three fly, or for bar and restaurant work.
• Brain Probe by David Williamson: A spectator shuffles the deck of cards. Three cards are matched to the cards selected by the spectator at random. These three cards are prefect matches.
• A Gentleman's Game by Gazzo: A funny card cheat plot utilizing the dishonest magician's game of High Card with a kicker surprise ending for the mark.
• Spek-Ulation by Anthony...
