1. ReadMinds
A person picks a card and you tell them what it is by reading their mind. In this effect Brad teaches a very useful and versatile force not taught in many books. Forget the cross-cut, riffle force, classic force, etc. You will soon be using and loving this one.
2. MindReach
A pack of cards are spread face down on the table. You tell a spectator to touch the five of spades - they touch a card and it is the five of spades. They do this again and again with different cards - at your will. You can borrow any pack to do this.
3. French Drop
A coin vanishes from your bare hand and reappears anywhere you want. How complicated can learning a French drop be? With Brad's teaching you will be performing this extremely effective sleight in a matter of minutes. No more re-reading pages, rewinding VCR's wondering what they are trying to explain. Includes a little known "visual retention" addition that FORCES the spectator to believe that the coin is in your hand.
4. Wave the Aces
A trick that came into the spotlight on national television recently. You will learn an effective handling of this magnificent feat that will leave the spectator speechless... until you nail him or her with another trick you learn in this video.
5. Card in Mouth
When the magician has seemingly lost the spectator's card in the deck, the magician coughs it up out of his mouth - folded up into a tiny packet, it REALLY IS the exact same card. Another great reaction getter performed on TV. Brad teaches you step-by-step how to perform and accomplish, along with how to present this winning illusion.
6. Haunted Folding Bill
A dollar bill laying on your hand just starts folding itself up into quarters... one of the most eerie effects in magic. Forget about spending $12 on purchasing a folding bill that is hard to work with. Brad teaches how to make your own high quality bill to use for this trick. You will also learn how to give the BILL YOU JUST USED out for immediate examination.
Now we turn it up a notch:
1. Sponge Balls
A classic effect that will leave the audience laughing in awe. This will also come in handy if you ever perform at a kids party or to younger children. If you have the extra money, purchase the balls directly from ellusionist® (you'll be automatically taken to the correct screen after ordering).
2. Push-in Sponge Vanish
Imagine CLEARLY pushing a ball into your closed hand then slowly opening it to show it has completely VANISHED. The ball is then pulled back out of anywhere. Yet another helpful sleight using sponge balls taught in detail by Brad that the spectators will not believe.
3. Biddle Trick
Words cannot accurately describe this effect, which is now one of my top favorites to perform. The first time you see this you will be utterly stunned and mystified - eager to learn the secret behind this incredible effect Brad brings to you. Though Brad's teaching the Biddle Count becomes simple to learn and YOU will be doing it within MINUTES. This is worth the video by itself.
A card, seen only seconds before, vanishes from the performer's hands and reappears in the deck held in the spectator's hands.
4. Flourishes
A couple great flourishes you see people perform regularly on TV. These will really enhance your magic if they are inserted correctly and not overly done. Yes, this is a preview sample from How to do Street Magic.
5. Lightening Coin Vanish
I was dumbfounded by this only to learn how easy it really is. This is what you see Brad perform in the previews using the house key. EFFECT: A coin is borrowed and placed on the table, the magician then quickly moves his fingertips straight over it and the coin vanishes. The magician's other hand is then picked up and the coin is found under that hand.
6. Slydini Cigarette Restoration
An ingenious and perfectly devised effect created by legendary mastermind known as Slydini. Brad taches IN DEPTH how to master this effect, what misdirection to use (vital), and how to end clean. Yet another astounding illusion compiled into the gift by ellusionist®.
