Impact DVD 

by Michael Paul 

Michael Paul is a rising star in the world of magic. A veteran close up magician and Monday Night Magic performer, he’ll teach you his style of magic: magic that concentrates on audience reaction over knucklebusting. Magic with impact. Michael will teach his fresh take on classics of close up such as:

Spectator Cuts the Aces:

The spectator really makes a fair cut into the center of the pack, and actually finds an ace. No gaffs, duplicates, crimps, or strange cutting proceedures… and it’s easy. This is how spectator cuts the aces should look. Impromptu.

Flare – Alpha Magic

Control fire seemingly with the power of your mind

You’re painting the town red on a late Saturday night. Under the flashing strobes of the city’s trendiest nightclub, you pull a cigarette out of a classy cigarette case and call attention to it…

…wait.

The lines on your forehead become more visible, obvious to those who sense your intense concentration. Let them watch you as close as they can. Let them focus their attention on the cigarette as you pinch it lightly between your fingers. Time slows down as you hold still. Let them be consumed by your enigmatic presence. Slowly…gently…painstakingly the cigarette crackles and smoulders, seemingly reacting to the stares of those around you. Everyone goes silent. Your eyes are open intently.

And then it happens.

Materialize Volume 1

For over 25 years, Ed Ellis has performed close-up magic, sleight of hand illusions, and full time table side magic for Hollywood, TV, and sports celebrities. He is also an accomplished award winning drummer, and has played on stage with The Buddy Rich Band.

Ed has also performed his amazing close-up illusions at Las Vegas’ Caesar’s Palace, lectured at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and in 2005 was the star of the Ed Ellis TV Show.

The following effects here are straight from Ed’s working repertoire and are for both the beginning and advanced card worker! As an added feature this DVD includes Magic Castle and TV footage from Ed’s promo reel.

• Materialize – A visual stunner! A seemingly impossible appearance of a card. Then it’s repeated!
• Aces Escape – A classic plot where cards escape to the top.
• Materialize Selection – The impact of the “magician blew it” ploy is used here. The comeback is a visual stunner.
• Ellis Fan Flourish Control and Billboard Display – A suggested opener. A top card control followed by a one handed eye catching four card display.
• Illusion or Reality – A signed card begins to multiply… Then disappears and changes to four aces! Which can be shown front and back!
• Double Double Surprise – A suggested souvenir finale. This simple and powerful routine leaves them shaking their heads!
• Jumping Jacks – As pure as it gets! This is an ungaffed packet effect made with your cards!
• Kubota Jacks – A powerful transposition of two cards done with consistent looking moves.
• The Great Escape – A suggested ambitious finale. A card immediately escapes after being pushed into the deck. This effect seems impossible!
• Style – Multiple ways are shown to handle a card with flair.
• Use Your Favorite Method – Ed covers some basic moves, the double lift, Elmsley count and tilt are covered here.
• Bonus – A double lift is taken from the center of the deck face up! Very offbeat and cool!

So sit back, relax and enjoy this amazing DVD presentation, and see for yourself why many refer to Ed Ellis as the “World’s Fastest Hands.”

Underground Jam

mmm… looks delish!

In the spring of 2005 Jay sent out a world-wide request for audition videos featuring original material from unknown magicians. In response, performers from more than a dozen countries submitted more than 200 tapes and dvds! From this mountain of submissions Jay and his team unanimously selected Joe Diamond, Eric Leclerc and Jeff Stone.

A few months later, Jay, Joe, Eric and Jeff met up in Toronto and over a couple of days taped an outstanding collection of close-up magic and mentalism including 20 effects with matchbooks, coins, playing cards, keys, film canisters, wrist watches, chewing gum, water bottles and magic markers. Here are just a few…

A disposable razor visibly transforms into a book of matches!
JACKED-UP

DREAM VACATION
An initialed coin vanishes and reappears in a just-examined film canister!
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
A marvelously practical “rising card” handling!

A super visual, lo-tech “Twisting the Aces” routine. You’ll learn it, you’ll do it!
MAGI
A sandwich effect with a mind-blowing surprise ending!
GREAT SCOTT

FINAL CAP IN BOTTLE
The “last word” on cap-in-water-bottle effects!
