This DVD contains 13 routines to make you into an "Amazing" super hero. These routines will render your audience completely amazed!
Some of the effects included:
Ink, Inc. : A complete deck of custom, hand drawn playing cards visually prints right in front of your spectator's unbelieving eyes. You'll never slip these into a poker game. Your audience will think you have mini ink-jets hidden in your finger tips!
George of the Jumble: A torn and restored mismade-ish bill ( with the torn edges restored on the outside), that will leave your spectator with a souvenir that would have the Riddler scratching his head.
Thomato: A real cherry tomato is smashed flat between your hands, and ends up with a facial expression almost as surprising as your audience's!
Psycho: A card is selected by a spectator, shuffled into the deck by the spectator, and found by the SPECTATOR! You've heard all this before, but wait....Come back. This one actually looks as good as it sounds. P.S. It's been my pet "magician fooler."
Simply Three: An in-the-hands 3-Card monte that resets immediately, uses regular cards, and has a killer ending. This is the 3-Card Monte you'll actually use. Metropolis will never be the same again!
These And 8 Other Acts of Super-Human Skill
(way more than mere mortals deserve!)
A True "No Camera" Trick
Effect
A card is looked at and remembered.
Three Pieces of "photographic paper" (which bear an uncanny resemblance to double-black cards) are introduced.
One of the three pieces of photo paper are chosen by the spectator and signed on the back.
The signed paper is then inserted between the other two.
Suddenly, a blurry image of the spectator's thought-of card appears on the face. Is your spectator out of focus, or did you just have way too much coffee this morning?
Comes complete with instructional DVD, specially-printed cards and uncontrollable caffeine jitters.

You place a jumbo card face down on a chair without revealing it's identity.
A participant is invited to sit down on the mystery card and is shown a deck of shuffled playing cards. You explain that they will use their subconscious to deduce the identity of the jumbo card they are sitting on. The spectator cuts the deck into two piles and places them in either hand. They are asked to toss one half away and keep the other. After they do this they cut the remaining cards into two piles, holding one in each hand and they once again toss one pile away and keep the other. Down to the last few cards, the participant chooses one card, having the opportunity to change their mind several times. They make a final selection. With their final choice in hand the spectator stands and picks up the jumbo card, to find it matches their selection EXACTLY!

These discs have been unavailable for the last six months and since their original release over four years ago have earned Marc a reputation in the Magic world as a creative and original thinker and performer.
Alakazam Magic are proud to re-release this unique four DVD set in a beautifully presented collector’s edition box set.
Marc has been invited to perform for the worlds elite A-list, from Eric Clapton, Lennox Lewis, George Michael, Jack Nicholson, Hugh Grant, Davina McCall, Gerry Halliwell, Johnny Vaughn and HRH Prince Andrew.
His client list is truly extensive with corporate giants such as Sony, Vodafone, Columbia Pictures, Jaguar, BMW, Dyson, The BBC, Carlton Television, Channel 4, Channel 5, Madam Tussauds, Rail Track, Credit Lyonnaise and Amtrak as a mere few of Marcs regular clients.
I managed to finally get Marc to release some of his treasured routines for the magic community and I have to say that as a magic dealer I cannot remember a book or DVD set with so many real world routines. Marc has delivered material that knocked everyone out at the filming. I am confident that anyone of any level who purchases these DVDs will use Marc’s killer routines and principles.
In my opinion Marcs fantastic chair routine One In Thousands, Staple Roulette and his diabolical approach to the bank night theme The Prize Draw are all individually worth the price of the entire set of DVDs to a working professional and could be sold for hundreds of pounds each.
On the day of filming a shattering 31 routines I could not decide which routines I wanted to ad to my repertoire, I was spoilt for choice, a rarity for any set of DVDs. The privileged audience who saw the filming firmly believe that every effect was a true performance piece.
Marc thinks outside of the box and creates workable real world effects that play huge. I can honestly say that it is an absolute pleasure to be releasing this unbelievable set and the two and a half year process of finally pinning Marc down has been worth every second. All of this from someone who is not really known in magic circles and at a young age for his wisdom, knowledge and maturity with the impossible. Our art will benefit I'm sure.

Performed at the Magic Castle
Magic Castle 2007 Close-up Magician of the Year
"In 1973, with a nod of appreciation to Jeff Busby, the innovative mind of Roy Walton introduced CARD WARP to the world of Magic. It too the community by storm. I can still remember the first time I saw Card Warp performed. It took my breath away! I loved the trick, but was never satisfied with my ending. That has changed now!
When I shared my handling with Roy Walton in 2002, he told me it was one of his favorite version of his gem. I promised him that I would only teach this to other magicians directly. Roy Walton has finally allowed me to share my routine with you via DVD. Now you can have my Finale to show your audiences with certain gasps of amazement.
This is my complete interactive routine, designed for the Strolling Magic performer. It is audience-tested. Use the whole routine, or add my Finale to your own routine. Your audiences will love it!" – Paul Green
"I've seen Card Warp. I've done Card Warp. Paul's setup and finish are fantastic. I look forward to applying these simple yet effective techniques to strengthen my presentation of this classic effect." – Bill Exley (Member of the Magic Circle)
"Sometimes when you thing there is nothing else you can get from an effect, someone comes along and proves you wrong. Paul Green and his handling of Walton's Card Wrap has done just that for me." – John Armstrong (Close-Up Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle)

You meet someone at a party, and explain that you had a dream about them a month ago. You write something down on a piece of paper, fold it up and hand it over. It could be put in an envelope or hung from the ceiling. YOU NEVER HAVE TO TOUCH IT AGAIN.
You explain that your dream had something to do with a book. You hand them the book and they turn to ANY PAGE they want. The book is completely normal. No duplicate pages, no forcing of page numbers, no peeks. They begin reading from that page and you looked stunned. You refuse to have them open the paper. It's just too strange....
The paper is finally opened and there is link to a YouTube video written down. You never touch the paper, nothing is switched, no double writing. When they go to your YouTube page there is ONE video, clearly uploaded a month ago. The video shows you sleeping in bed, then violently awaking and talking to the computer. You tell the camera that you just had a dream and start describing the scene from the book that your friend just read out loud.
I've done this and people start screaming and beg to have the video turned off. It's that powerful. And the video REALLY was uploaded a month ago to YouTube!

This is what the Dark Vision system will enable you to accomplish. Designed from the ground up and fashioned to be used with the Osterlind Stainless Steel Blindfold or on its own, Dark Vision will convince your audiences that you have the ability to see using only the power of your mind. The Dark Vision system consists of the very special hood, each one hand-made by Sandra Sisti and made from the same quality materials and exacting specifications as the S.O.S. Bag, and a booklet written by Richard Osterlind that not only explains the minute details of handling Dark Vision with the Stainless Steel Blindfold and also by itself, but also invaluable tips on how to create and perform a large-scale publicity stunt such as a Blindfold Drive.
There have been many gimmicked blindfolds and hoods on the market over the years…but none of them have offered the versatility, craftsmanship, ease of use or sheer mental power of Dark Vision.
Includes awesome UV keylight, UV marker/refill and gaff cards!
THIS IS A GIMMICK EVERY MAGICIAN SHOULD OWN!

Combining the amazing properties of the UV light and the UV marker, your magic arsenal will be stuffed to the gills with great material. And best of all, the gimmicks do the work for you!
Over the course of 90minutes Liam Montier and Owen Packard teach you more craziness with the UV gimmicks than you'd have thought humanly possible.

From the mind of Daniel Garcia comes a torn and restored card routine that will make you smile.
"You've got a great smile." -- Daniel Garcia
A card is selected and signed.
You explain: Your "secret" is a small "CRIMP" you put in the card so you can find it.
You demonstrate: Your "CRIMP" is actually a hilariously large chunk that you tear off of the corner of their signed card.
You explain: This "CRIMP" allows you to cut to their selection "just by feeling for the missing part".
You confess: There's one small problem with your method... sometimes a spectator with "a highly trained eye" will notice the extra piece. With this, you pick up the torn chunk of card from the table and place it on top of the spectator's signed card.
You give the deck a couple of tiny shakes to position the CHUNK into place. As you wipe your thumb over the tear, the card is VISUALLY restored.
Immediately hand your spectator their signed card. It's COMPLETELY RESTORED.
Now take a moment to relax and enjoy and bathe in love. You're completely re-set for the next table.
These are Brass-based, electroplated, two tone silver and gold novalty coins and are a very nice replica of the classic £2 coin design . They are nicely weighted and at 2.75 inches in diameter perfect for any manipulation work, the ending to a coins across routine and ideal for Gary Kurtz's wonderful routine 'Flourious'
The magician locates a selected card—and then reveals that a freely named time is written on its back!
A Bulletproof Method:
1. The card is selected in a very fair manner, with spectators having the chance to change their minds as many times as they like before settling on a choice.
2. The time is selected by simply being named, with no force used—or even possible.
3. The time may be chosen before the card, or the card before the time—it works either way.
4. The writing on the back of the card is large and bold, seemingly with no explanation as to its appearance.
5. Back and fronts of the rest of the deck are visible throughout the routine.
6. Automatic reset.
7. No table needed; perfect for walk-around, yet suitable for stage work.
8. Long-lasting. (No rough and smooth.)
9. Professionally manufactured from standard Bicycle brand playing cards.
"The trick is fantastic — just the coolest thing. I’m going to do it in my shows at the bar. Bravo, bravo!"
- David Regal
Comes complete with 6 page, photo-illustrated instruction booklet and Bicycle deck.
Frustrated with complicated billet peeks that are cleverer on the page than in the field? Tired of having to shove unfolded business cards in your wallet just to read them? Hate switching slips because it's so unnatural and you're sure to be caught with the hidden note? Then take a modern look at an ancient page from the descent of medium's notebook and use the cunning brilliance of...
The Invisible Stranger
This 44 page book is jammed with detailed information, illustrations, and photographs. it's really THREE MANUSCRIPTS IN ONE BOOK! It contains...
An invaluable method of billet reading that allows you to openly read a billet in front of the audience more easily than with a peek or a wallet.
A full routined, scripted and audience tested. ACT that's truly Real Time Mentalism and completely impromptu. 20 YEARS in actual Performance.
A detailed, step-by-step self working method of selling the act to a PROVEN market that's been searching for someone like you for years.
The Invisible Stranger is a combination of contemporary techniques blended with a closely guarded secret of spirit mediums. Its bold and direct methodology can be applied to hundreds of mental effects.
The new and improved, Strangers in the Night, is one of Docc's signature pieces. It showcases the mind reader's ability to look at women and tell if they're thinking of a friend, lover or someone else, whether the friend is male or female, disclose their name and accurately describe the friend who isn't even present! And apparently BEFORE touching a billet!
And as a BONUS, a quarter of the book is devoted to how, where and to whom you can sell this act for a solid, steady income. You'll learn everything about booking enough gigs to show off your new talent, perform part time or be one of a few select mentalist will exploit this market for all it's worth. Mentalists have paid Docc a high fee to teach them how to successfully work the Ladies Club Market. Only about half a dozen mentalists now work this lucrative and hidden gold mine.
