You'll Want To Watch This One Again and Again and Again! Get yours today!

Here's a list of the Effects featured on The MINOTAUR: Final Issue

Fairest of Them All - Marv Leventhal & Dan Harlan - The spectator is merely thinking of a card, yet you can easily find it! Does that ring a bell?

Hebe, Hera, Hecate - Dan Harlan - Four acrobatic Queens at a Goddess Temple just outside of Las Vegas. Sound like fun to you?

Sprites - Dan Harlan - Discover how Harlan survived in the wild on a diet of small woodland creatures... and you can too! Sure to D'Lite!

Adjoctive - Phil Goldstein - A bunch of business cards, random words, random years, math and dealing piles... to find the phrase that pays. Sounds like awesome mentalism to me!

Aqui (A Key) - Dan Harlan - The spectator's key vanishes into another dimension and has a little trouble returning until you coax it out with fire. This one is spoo-key!

Cupside Down - Dan Harlan - A cup filled with liquid, placed into a brown paper bag inverted through a full 360 degrees without spilling a drop! Go on, examine everything!

Holding the Bag - Dan Harlan - Harlan's brown bag "Psychometry" builds to an impossible revelation of the final object's identity. It's in the bag!

Glass Backwards - Tom Craven - A couple of randomly selected cards match predictions on display from the start. Ooooo, you get to make something cool!

Big Easy Linking - Dan Harlan - A linking Mardi-Gras necklace routine perfect for the slightly less inebriated reveler. "Show us your TRICKS!"

Royal Plushy - Dan Harlan - A stuffed animal always wins 5-card stud no matter how many players are in the game! His secret is a pretty cool cooler!

Folderol & Dagger Move - Dan Harlan - Tap three times with a Sharpie if you want me... to make your card appear folded under the clip. Who brings a pen to a knife fight?

Counting On You - Dan Harlan - The fun adds up as the spectator tries to keep track of how many cards you have without puking! Warning: May Induce Laughter.

Mexicali Aces - Marv Leventhal - Everything seems kosher as the aces appear, but one of them conceals a little extra spice! Who ordered the Spicy Kosher Mexican Turnover?!

On Your Mark - Dan Harlan - Three wrongs DO make a RIGHT in this simple card revelation... and deck switch. Follow me down the garden path.

Sign Wave - Dan Harlan - The deck goes crazy as cards turn face-up, face-down and change color, until you set everything right... except the signed selection. Finally, a trick where everything is gimmicked!

Prism Pen - Dan Harlan - Amuse your spectator before they sign their card with a quick color-changing pen routine. You might call it a "magical" marker!

Lock Master - Mike Draganic - If you forget the combination to your lock you can always have four people pick random numbers and it will magically open! Now, they know too much.

Money Laundering - Dan Harlan - A spectator's dollar comes out a little bit too clean from your mini washing machine, so you offer to print them a new one! If only someone has the right paper...

Beer Money - Dan Harlan - You've got money and I've got beer, so when a dollar turns into a beer label, we'll find the money in the bottle! Plus deposit in Maine and Hawaii.

Bright & Early - Jen Weston & Dan Harlan - You'll find some very strange ingredients in that "orange drink" of yours. What's in there? Read the label!

Vegas Baby - Dan Harlan - Breathing fresh air into great mentalism plot, Harlan adds color, comedy and cash to create a real winner! Roll the dice and take a shot!

The Popcorn Trick - Dan Harlan - When you need a quick snack, be prepared with this magical method of making instant "popped" corn! There's a kernel of truth in it.

Allied Alliance - David Neighbors - Experience the mystery of international finance as coins travel invisibly from here to there, and back again! Boy, if I had a nickel for every penny I've ever had...

All You Need Is Love - Dan Harlan - The perfect four-card-twisting-color-changing-backs-and-appearing-marks-with-hidden-message trick to perform when it's time to shut down the evil robot version of yourself. 'Nuf said.

World's Best Toothpick - Marv Leventhal - A grossly funny bit of emcee business to fill the time before the finale. Picky people pick perfect picks.

Harlan's Collectors -
Dan Harlan - The classic "Collectors" plot (Roy Walton) with professional additions, touches and handling by Harlan.

One of the best DVDs I've ever bought Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 23rd, 2014
First off, every magic DVD should be a little movie like this. It's cheesy but great cheesy. The magic on the other hand is just awesome. I have been into magic for over 8 years and this is my favorite DVD with a collection of effects. I don't see how there is only one review for this...well now two. All the effects are within a beginner's grasp with practice and all the routines come from a working pro. If your a beginner, just get this now. If you are intermediate and up, if you like Harlan...GET IT! And I totally agree with the other reviewer, The "Collectors" is a card trick worth the price and you will finish your routine with it. And like Harlan does in the video, you will just throw the cards down on the ground like a singer or comedian throws down the mic! It is such an amazing set of magic. And in the coolbox, it's almost giving it away...seriously. For the money, you will not find a better magic DVD on Penguin. PERIOD.

Absolutely Amazing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 16th, 2013
I am relatively new to Magic and this was actually one of my first major purchases. The Minotaur was not only funny but well put together and well explained. The tricks themselves are fun to do, and the explanations are very thorough and well thought out. I got this while it was a cool box special, but I would have gladly paid full price for this set. I would have been happy paying the cool box price just for the bonus effect "Collectors"

I highly recommend this DVD set to all!

Great but Goofy Report this review

I really liked the effects here but the silly plots and background stories were distracting. I still recommend it with a lot of skipping.

So Much Fun! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 27th, 2018
Wow, what an experience. And that's exactly it, this DVD is an experience. It's unlike any magic DVD you've seen before, it's like a campy B movie with a loose narrative and tons of great tricks all packed into one. It's Dan Harlan, so you already know the teaching is top notch . The choice of tricks range from hokey to ingenious. Obviously you don't end up incorporating them all into your repertoire, but the ones you do are gems. And even further still, it's an exercise in creativity both in the methodology of some of the tricks and in the structure of the movie itself. I don't think I've had as much fun learning as I have during this. If you can pick this up on openbox I highly recommend it.
