Linking Rings

Learn this elegant version of the Linking Rings from a master of the classics: Oscar Munoz. Oscar’s routine uses just three rings and it showcases several original, visual penetration sequences. The routine is best suited to music or light patter, and it’s the perfect length for a family audience.

Balloon Swallowing

One of the most popular parlor routines EVER is taught to us by Oscar, with all his professional touches. There is hardly ANYTHING that a magician can do to elicit a stronger reaction than to seemingly swallow a long balloon. This is the method to do it safely and entertainingly.

Billiard Ball Routine

The billiard ball manipulation effect is a classic, yet good, PRACTICAL routines are almost impossible to come by. Oscar details a fun, comedic yet elegant routine that incorporates three color changes, a production sequence, and an elegant finale. He details all the props, moves, and routining that you need to perform this routine. Best of all, his routine is designed to look amazing from far away and quite close, so it’s perfect for family shows or parlor audiences.

2 Rope Trick

This is a practical multi-phased rope routine based on the original “Sand-Sational” from George Sands. It begins with an amazing production of “ends” of the rope, and then transitions into a beautiful two-rope sequence. As ever, Oscar takes you through the routine step by step, giving all the nuances and touches on how to present this to a family audience.

3 Ropes Across

This is an exceedingly clever way of dressing up Professor’s Nightmare. Rather than doing the classic trick in the same old way, Munoz shows two sets of ropes: one set has three ropes of equal length and the other set has three ropes of different lengths. Under test conditions and as visibly as possible, Munoz causes the sizes of the ropes to transpose.

Those cads at theory11 have a bit going. They put Andre Jikh in front of actors from the upcoming Now You See Me (this time Isla Fisher), he interviews them for a minute or so and then… he pulls out the deck. And so begins the cardistry and the facial expressions of amazement.

Watch the clip here.

Almost as good? Freeze frames of Andre’s face.

Having been funded, we are all excited to embark on this amazing journey. Thank you for your support and for believing in us. Our Magic has already begun in earnest but you can still join us and be part of the adventure.

Our goal is to make Our Magic look as visually beautiful as the art itself. If you have already backed Our Magic then we hope you will encourage friends and family to join you and our growing family of backers.

Community, assemble!

We already have what we need to make a fantastic documentary, but with your help we can add more locations and crew, hire additional help, and develop a professional marketing and P.R. strategy to share “Our Magic” with the largest possible audience.

$50K – An additional $7,000 will help us to extend our production schedule and visit new locations.

$55K – Translation services for subtitles requires an extra $5,000 to send “Our Magic” around the world.

$75K – An additional $20,000 will fund equipment costs, help us to pay crew expenses, and expand our post-production schedule. Even with “friend and family” rates, travel, food, and equipment costs are considerable. These additional funds will add enormous value to this project.

$90K – A professional marketing strategy requires a substantial investment, and an additional $15,000 will help us to employ the experts we need to get our film the attention it deserves.

$95K – Finally, we want to share “Our Magic” on every platform, especially new media, using mobile-compatible Apps to give our supporters updates on progress. This will also allow us to receive your immediate feedback. Another $5000 will help make this happen and allow our community to be directly involved.

If you have already backed the film, please spread the word. Family, friends, magicians, and magic fans are all welcome!

We have added four new incentives and, if we hit 100K we will design and print a limited run of commemorative playing cards exclusively for backers of “Our Magic”.

Every dollar makes “Our Magic” bigger and better, and you can still be part of the adventure. Pledge today and join the team.

Best wishes,
Paul, Jason, Dan, and Dave
