Card To Wallet (Worlds Greatest Magic)
If you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This
benchmark collection features just about all of magic's most enduring
and classic effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many
of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and
routines for some of magic's classics. Linking rings, sponge balls,
metal bending, cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing
knives, and many, many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific
DVD reference set. Each volume covers a specific subject and features
new, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers
in magic.
The card-to-impossible-place plot is almost as old as card conjuring
itself with the earliest ancestor of the trick we now call the Card To
Wallet appearing as "The Card in the Pocketbook" in early magic
literature. Over the next two centuries, magicians devised a myriad of
ways to create the effect of a selected playing card appearing
mysteriously in the performer?s wallet and in this collection, you?ll
find an amazing variety of methods for all skill levels. John Mendoza
begins with two selections appearing in the zippered compartment of a
wallet that was in plain sight throughout the routine ? and there?s no
palming involved. Likewise, Alexander deCova has devised a way of
recreating the famous LePaul effect of a signed playing card appearing
inside an envelope and, once again, there is no palming involved.
Michael Ammar is next with an extremely logical approach to the effect
as a torn playing card visibly changes into a credit card while,
naturally, the playing card is found restored in the performer?s wallet
in the space previously occupied by the credit card.
Then, Eddie
Tullock, the king of trade show performers, demonstrates how to turn a
basic card-to-wallet effect into a powerful promotional tool. Dan
Fleshman offers his take on the classic Red Hot Momma effect with a
socko wallet finish while Alex Elmsley demonstrates a card-to-wallet
effect that uses no gimmicked wallets and is virtually always ready to
perform. Finally, Eric DeCamps presents his card in wallet routine with
three selections that can play in a stand-up as well as close-up
situation.
The discovery of a chosen - and oftentimes signed - playing card in the
magician?s wallet is a centuries-old crowd pleaser and if you?re looking
to add this all-time audience favorite to your repertoire, you wont
find a better starting point than this collection.
