"TRANSFORMER is outstanding....a terrifically clean, direct routine!" - Peter Duffie
"TRIO is great man! I LOVE the card to wallet. So, freakin' well thought out. The vanish is PERFECT!!" - Cameron Francis
DAVE FORREST PRESENTS THREE STUNNING CARD EFFECTS WITH ONE THING IN COMMON - A SIMPLE GAFF CARD!
EFFECT 1 - 'SHRINK' - A HYPER VISUAL SANDWICH EFFECT.
An incredibly visual sandwich effectwith a stunning climax that will guarantee you are remembered. A selected card is continuously discovered in between the two Jokers, each time more impossible than the last. Eventually, you confess to the method - you are actually making the card too small to be seen! With that you shrink the selection to half it's size! This is a stunner!
EFFECT 2 - 'TRANSFORMER' - A MULTIPLE SELECTION ROUTINE
Three cards are selected and lost back into the pack. The Jokers impossibly trap the first selection, let's say it's a Seven. Six cards are counted off the top of the deck and the seventh card is shown to be the second selection! Attention is now drawn back to the Seven, in between the two Jokers - it has transformed into the third selection! A real commercial stunner - perfect for table hopping!
EFFECT 3 - 'FLIGHT' - A 'TEST CONDITIONS' CARD TO WALLET
A card is selected. The spectator signs the face and the back is marked with a large 'X'. The signed card is placed in between two Jokers and the three card packet is left outjogged from the centre of the deck - the spectator can still see the selected card at this point. With a snap of your fingers the deck is spread and there is now NOTHING in between the Jokers - the signed selection has completely vanished! You reach into your back pocket - that you have been nowhere near the entire time - inside your regular, everyday wallet is the signed card!

"The slickest, most magical version of the 'coin through glass table' plot available to date, hands down."
– Shane, Online-Visions.com
Effect
Borrow a coin, have it marked, and drop it somewhere near the center of an unprepared glass table. Show both hands cleanly and clearly empty. Press on the coin and it visibly passes through the table and into your waiting hand below. One second it's above the glass, the next it just drops right through. You can hand the coin (and table!) out for examination, they will find nothing.
It's that simple. The way real magic should be: Quick, visual, hard-hitting, high-impact, and utterly impossible; leaving the spectators with no hope of ever figuring it out.
"If you could actually push metal though glass...this is what it would look like."
– Steve Fearson
Works on any unprepared glass surface. Use any coin. No magnets. No "jewelry" required. Resets instantly. No funny moves - Just push and it's through. The special gimmick makes it all extremely visual and super easy to do.
"The effect is very visual."
– Danny Archer
If you do close up magic of any kind, then Numismatic belongs in your arsenal. Everything in the description is absolutely true. Tim David has come up with an ingenious method that fools people even if they're "in the know".
"Beautiful! I have no clue..."
– Nathan Kranzo
You get the gimmick and a full-length, professionally produced DVD that clearly explains every tiny detail of the effect.

Imagine the best magic, the best magicians, and the best producers all in one place, imagine no more....
Imagine owning the most comprehensive magic book ever written. This would surely be a treasured possession for any magician with each chapter focusing on a single aspect of the craft and the very best routines ever created for it. That's the idea behind L&L Publishing's critically-acclaimed DVD series, The World's Greatest Magic by The World's Greatest Magicians! Each volume is like another chapter in the world's best magic book. Featuring in-depth exposition and instruction on some of magic's most cherished and classic effects by its most-talented practitioners, this unprecedented series represents an essential reference work for anyone interested in the magical arts, regardless of their skill level.
Magicians who specialize in close-up magic are constantly in search of material that doesn't use playing cards. Easily seventy-five percent of the magic that's been published over the last 50 or 60 years has been card magic of one kind or another so quality non-card material is a relatively scarce commodity in the literature.
On this DVD, you'll meet seven different performers presenting and teaching powerful close-up routines that will wow any audience – and there's not a playing card in sight! The legendary Bruce Cervon starts off with a beautifully routined piece of magic where a borrowed handkerchief is clearly seen to be burned, magically repaired and then used for a stunning production. Glen Falkenstein, of the famed mentalism team of Falkenstein & Willard, combines two simple and well-known dealer items to create a beautiful hybrid of magic while Michael Ammar gives you all of the work on Stefan Schutzer's wonderful animated bill effect. Bob Read is next with a hilarious routine that will make you sorry you laughed so hard because you will be badly fooled by the trick's end. Mark Leveridge offers an elegant and very magical coin box routine while Flip brings the mystery of the classic linking rings to a few safety pins. Finally, Bill Malone performs and teaches a wonderful (and wonderfully portable!) Cups and Balls routine that will charm young and old alike.
It's been said that even the world's largest and most spectacular stage illusion cannot create the impact – that feeling of pure astonishment – of a good, well-performed piece of close-up magic and on this DVD, you'll find seven compelling pieces of evidence to that effect.

A Ball and a Tube – Falkenstein & Willard
Self-Folding Bill – Michael Ammar
Transpo Tumbler – Bob Read
Stay at Home Coins – Mark Leveridge

On this DVD, you'll meet eight different performers presenting and teaching powerful close-up routines that will wow any audience – and there's not a playing card in sight! Eugene Burger and David Parr begin this volume with a stunning update of U. F. Grant's classic bill transposition. Banachek is next with a sensational book test while J. J. Sanvert combines two effects to create a wonderful interlude with a spectator's borrowed bill. Gregory Wilson follows with a mind-boggling bill switch routine that takes the audience on a figurative trip around the world while Paul Wilson performs and teaches a streamlined version of John Ramsay's classic Cylinder and Coins. Finally, Daryl demonstrates a totally impromptu one-cup routine that can be performed any time and any place.

On this DVD, you'll meet seven different performers presenting and teaching powerful close-up routines that will wow any audience – and there's not a playing card in sight!

Next up, Tommy Wonder demonstrates a truly impossible feat as he magically threads a needle with 20 strands of thread, creating a wonderful souvenir in the process. Al Schneider performs a great money printing routine while teaching the proper handling of a Himber Wallet at the same time while Henry Evans shows off a whimsical miracle where a silk handkerchief is produced from a photograph. Master coin manipulator David Roth magically transforms four U.S. coins into coins from different countries before causing them to vanish and reappear in a toy globe that was in plain sight throughout the routine. Johnny Thompson reaches back into magic history to perform and teach Max Malini's classic assembly trick while, last but by no means least, Larry Jennings demonstrates a signature effect, his one cup-one ball routine, which begins with the magical production of the cup and ends with its complete vanish.
