When I first got interested in magic 20 years ago, these tapes (that's what they were back then)
were what helped me. Even now, I still perform a few of the tricks from the series. The only
downside to most of the tricks on here are that they require some form of setup.
This one
does include two must-have tricks though. A very rudimentary version of Ambitious Card is taught
here, and if you don't already have this in your arsenal, you have a great starting point. The
biggest selling point on this volume is "MacDonald's Aces". Again, this is taught in a very basic
form, but the effect itself is a lot like cups and balls in that the individual magician can cater
most of the effect to their own performance style. Michael gives you a great starting point for both
effects here, making it well worth the price of the DVD.
If you are considering card magic,
start with these.
A must have for any card performer
