The following 5 tricks are performed and explained in detail on this DVD...
|
Imagine showing a dollar bill on all sides. Your hands are totally clean - they may be dirty, but they are empty! The bill is folded. As you drag the folded bill across your mat, a quarter falls from the bill. You open the bill to freely show everything clean. It's folded once again and another quarter magically falls from the folds of the bill. This time one of the quarters is dropped into the folds of the bill. A magical wave of your hand and the coin has vanished...or has it? It's actually penetrated the mat onto the table. The dollar bill is unfolded and shown on both sides, then folded again. A spectator points to an area on your mat and a third quarter falls from its folds at that spot. Once again your hands are shown empty and the bill clean. A forth coin makes its appearance! All four coins are put into a square formation. As the dollar bill is dragged across each quarter, the quarters more quarters instantly appear! In a matter of seconds, your mat is displaying eight coins! If this isn't enough, the bill is unfolded for a final time and shown on both sides. It's folded again and a three inch jumbo quarter falls from its folds! Every facet is covered in the DVD explanation. You do not need to be a sleight of hand expert. The moves are relatively simple to execute. Any currency can be used. Coins up to half dollar size can be used. Bye George was produced with a multi-camera shoot. You will see the effects from different angles. The explanations are detailed and everything you can or can't imagine is covered. Note: This effect requires 4 shells and 1 jumbo coin (not included) |

Imagine a fun-filled hour spent with two legendary magicians. Time passes quickly as they demonstrate new inventions, recreate time-honored classics and share stories which have shaped magic's history Part I - International Cups and Balls
|
Throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s a brand of bold and direct close-up magic was developed in Chicago, Illinois. These effects were known for simplicity, clarity and strength of effect, and the powerful response they elicited. Chicago magical legends Don Alan, "Heba Haba Al" Andrucci, "Senator" Clarke Crandall, Frank Everhart, Jack Murray, Johnny Paul, James Patrick Ryan, and Matt Schulien forged their reputations with these effects, and now you can too! While these quick, direct, simple, baffling effects delighted Chicago audiences for decades, they were far less widely known and practiced outside of Chicago nightlife venues. Many of these terrifically effective pieces have evaporated into the ether, for no other reason than the fact that they are not the "latest." To say that you could make your living performing these eternal impossibilities is beyond dispute. Many of our most talented trailblazers have done precisely that! Now's your chance! If you're just getting your feet wet in close-up entertainment, let this information serve as a springboard for mastering quality magic. If you're a close-up veteran, you'll find yourself wondering why you aren't performing these gems regularly. (It's our suspicion that you will be soon!) Davebury Delusion David Lederman's winning routine that takes the sting out of the swindle, and adds a distinctly satisfying payoff!

Ever since the Chop Cup was invented by magician Al Wheatley (whose stage name was Chop Chop, which is where the trick derives its unusual name) in the early 1950s, magicians have devised increasingly clever ways to use it. The basic one-cup one-ball approach to the classic Cups and Balls has held the fascination of magicians through the years most probably due to its devious use of a mechanical principle along with sleight of hand to create an intriguing and compelling illusion. On this DVD, you’ll meet some masters of the Chop Cup, each with their own spin on the trick. There are classicists such as John Mendoza, Danny Tong and Steve Dacri who beguile their audiences with basic but still utterly baffling routines. Then we have rather unique approaches to the trick, such as David Regal, who substitutes the ball with – no kidding! – a toy mouse and later, Gary Ouellet, who performs a beautifully choreographed (to music no less!) routine using a Chop Cup and a matching, ungaffed cup. Finally, we have Larry Jennings who created one of the most original (and most performed) Chop Cup routines ever. Finally, Jim Swain presents his own version of the Jennnings routine with his own singular imprint. The Chop Cup has been a signature effect for many of magic’s most successful performers and on this DVD, you’ll find marvelous ready-made routines in addition to scores of ideas and stratagems to add to an existing routine.

The "Chop Cup" used by professionals world wide never fails to entertain and amaze! Four performers reveal their secret routines and explain as well! Most all magicians in the world have a "chop cup" in their repertoire, but only a few have mastered the effect to its fullest. Larry Jennings , (a disciple of Dai Vernon's natural magic sleights and moves) performs and teaches his legendary routine that Ken Brooke called "The greatest Chop Cup routine I've ever seen" and he used it himself! Larry's routines are "pure simple" and you will relish his movements and handling! Don Alan , whose routine is probably the most reknowned of all, made this his "signature effect" for his close up performances! (Enough said) Martin Lewis , you will love his original, clever entertaining performance! Quick, effective, high energy and entertaining! And IF you want to make your own Chop Cup, Martin will teach you how to make the one he uses, out of a "Green Giant" can of peas! And you'll laugh at his closing gag with the two final load balls! (So good you will use it yourself). Brad Burt , Brad's passion for the "art of magic" makes him an excellent teacher and you will see his patience in teaching some of the sleights, moves, misdirection, and techniques used in a good Chop Cup routine! These four professional artists gladly teach their private routines for all to learn and use! |
