Many of the demonstrations open with a wash-riffle-riffle-strip-riffle and a cut or with a cut card placed on the bottom. Then the bottoms begin. You can now get around the cut card! In this two-DVD set Richard (A Master Fifth Degree Black Belt) uses his 35 years of martial arts footage to talk about discipline and focus. He addresses the many speculations about his super, bat-like vision, questions like, "Is it true that he blocks with his head to protect his hands?" The DVD concludes with the LA Times story describing how he took on ten fighters for his first black belt. But the meat and potatoes are the hours in-between where this DVD will include Turner’s See Saw Bottom Deal with his Clip Take. The See-Saw will be shown with cards face-up on the bottom. Close-up dealing top bottom top bottom with Turner’s hand resting dead still on the table... from above dealing the bottoms opening the hand before each deal to show the deck does not need to be framed… and from under a glass table to clearly see the below finger work.

by Kenton KnepperTWO of Kenton's classic and most requested effects on one DVD. "Sleightly Touched" A deck is cut face up several times, and a card removed from the center of the deck. A spectator learns an ancient system to know any card chosen. The spectator comes to realize that their intuition has been perfect, as each and every other card is blank - save for their choice. Is it real intuition or merely impossible magic? "Mates For Life" is a beautiful, stunning and metaphorical card effect to be performed for couples. A romantic and positive effect with more than one surprising climax. Free choices and complete fairness throw even wise performers off on the methods used here. Running Time Approximately 24min |

The Cannibal Cards plot was devised by Lin Searles in the late 1950's and this decidedly unusual plot has been capturing the imaginations of card magicians ever since. The original Searles approach utilized special cards. However, on this DVD, you'll see seven pasteboard masters, each with their own individual spins on this now-classic effect where a succession of playing cards seem to disappear when placed between other cards, apparently eaten by the "cannibal" cards – and all use ordinary cards. Michael Ammar begins with the classic plot combined with Frank Garcia's "Apex Aces" and a "collectors" finish that provides three minutes of solid entertainment while Bill Malone follows with a typically hilarious presentation and a few red herrings thrown in that are guaranteed to even fool magicians. Juan Tamariz turns the trick into a piece of magical theater, complete with audience sing-alongs while J. J. Sanvert follows the classic plot right up until his amazing surprise ending. Larry Jennings, as would be expected, offers a classic and elegant handling while Michael Skinner demonstrates the version he used for over 25 years while he was the magician in residence at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. Finally, Eugene Burger presents a streamlined rendition that will, again, mystify everyone but particularly those who are familiar with the original, classic handling. Since its conception, the Cannibal Cards plot has been a favorite of magicians and their audiences. As Dan Huffman observed in The Linking Ring, "And, why not, when one considers the delightful combination of snappy card magic and the consumption of raw, human flesh."
