"Hi everyone. David showed this to me at the 4F convention this past April. He took me into confidence and not only tipped the method, but let me play with it.
WOW! This is so cool and there are so many variations possible with it. I wanted to buy one on the spot, but I had to wait like everyone else... ;)... I've gotta buy this right now."
~ Marc DeSouza, top magic pro, lecturer, historian.


There are six routines given in the DVD but you'll come up with your own.

Basically, a selected card penetrates the glass, then changes into a different selected card while that one is behind glass.

There’s a beautiful hand-made gimmick INCLUDED.

How hard is WINDOW?  Easier than Tarantula but harder than the Ball & Vase.  You won’t have problems. 

There are several ways to perform the effect.  In the most difficult routine you do a force and a top change.  In the easiest you simply make the card change behind glass. 

The reset is instant.

You’ll have a perfect time making your reputation with WINDOW. Order it today.

  • Ultra Visual
  • Instant reset
  • Unlimited Possibilities
  • Hand the card out and leave it with the spectator
  • Training by FISM winner David Stone
  • 6 Complete routines
  • Hand-made sturdy gimmick INCLUDED
  • No one ever sees the gimmick or knows it's there
  • Access to Ellusionist Protected WINDOW FORUM to discuss new creative routines and performance notes


The gimmick takes an hour and a half to manufacture but David Stone makes each one himself by hand.. *David Stone doesn’t really make the gimmicks, he’s too busy performing the trick to people who pay good money to see him. Your hand-made gimmick will be included in your package though, no worries.  :-)

Want to hear more about the effect and its creators? Listen to David Stone and Jean-Luc Bertrand talk about Window, the Paris magic scene, how they develop magic effects and why Jack Bauer is never seen going to the restroom.

The finish is time tested classic glide and durability of the USPC air-cushion finish. Black ink gives way to the dusky, faded approach on the artwork.

Fans perfect.  Springs perfect. Edges are phenomenal.”
- Aznman, Portland


One Joker holds the sands of time, but this changes to a three of diamonds reveal in the other Joker’s hands. One “extra card” is double backed as a gift from Ellusionist to our cardworker friends. The barcode on the box contains a unique reveal as well.

“Getting them wet now… from drool.   :)”
- Darian (CardArtist from Ellusionist Forums)


The Ace of Spades is guarded, stately and confined to shadow. Your talent is best kept quiet and used wisely.

<![CDATA[Shadow Rising Deck]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/shadow-rising-decks.html

You could even set the cards on a table and cover them with a wine glass... the chosen card will still rise straight out of the pack. You can have three people pick cards and make all three chosen cards rise out of the pack one after the other. The possibilities are endless.

This deck is the highest quality on the market - be careful, there are cheaper versions that simply do not operate well... we've tested all of them thoroughly and chose this one for smoothness and beautiful ease of operation. With this stunning effect, you'll be armed with one of the most mind-blowing effects in magic.

NOTE: All rising decks sold at ellusionist.com behave exactly the same as the Tiger Rising Deck.

    <![CDATA[Bicycle Ghost Playing Cards]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/bicycle-ghost-playing-cards-deck.html

    Designed by Ellusionist, the Bicycle Ghost Deck has an Air-Flow Finish, thick high grade stock, and an amazing design. Five solid months of design work went into the Ghost Deck.

    Latin on the Joker says: "The World Invites Deception".

    One of the Jokers is stepping on an Ace of Clubs, one Joker is not. This allows a sweet reveal for magicians. When you turn the Ace of Spades upside down, you'll notice snake heads at the base of the pip. In addition, there is a hand coming out of the top of the Ace. Whereas the Black Tiger Deck is tight, focused and aggressive, the Ghost emanates beauty and energy.

    It is often under-utilized and overlooked by most. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination. The deck consists of the exact same card repeated 52 times in the deck.

    Note: There are no specific card choices available when ordering these decks.

    <![CDATA[Dream of Aces DVD]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/dream-of-aces-dvd.html

    The effect follows along classical lines: The magician cuts a deck of cards and produces the four aces. Each ace is then covered with three indifferent cards. Three of the aces vanish from their piles and reappear together in one pile.

    What makes this version different? It will not require months of practice. The handling is economical, deceptive and pleasing to the eye. The presentation offers a beautiful emotional hook. And finally, it is quite simply exquisite magic! This is the most elegant approach ever to one of the worlds greatest card tricks!

    <![CDATA[David Blaine's Mysterious Stranger]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/david-blaine-s-mysterious-stranger.html

    He was buried alive for a week, encased in ice for three days, and stood atop an 83-foot pillar for 36 hours-and received national TV coverage for all these feats. Often touted as the new Houdini, Blaine is a consummate magician as well as endurance artist and an important force in the field for his advocacy of 'street magic.'

    In this spirited book, his first, Blaine offers readers a magical extravaganza on paper, a mix of autobiography, history of magic, instrucional, interactive magic tricks and self-help advice. Blaine begins with intimations of stage magic's power, with an account of legendary 19th-century magician Robert-Houdin traveling to Algeria on orders of the French government to quell an uprising by showing that his magic was greater than that of the rebels.

    He ends with a knuckle-whitening account of his pillar stunt, a 'dream manifesto' ('Read. Observe.... Our minds have no limits') and suggested resources including books of general interest (at the top: The Brothers Karamazov). This is a very personal volume, with Blaine's passionate, playful, opinionated, determined personality evident on nearly every page.

    Magic buffs will find much here that's familiar, like the recaps of magicians past and present, but even serious hobbyists will pick up tips from the tricks and explanations scattered throughout, and the final chapters, devoted to Blaine's endurance challenges, are pure gold.

    You approach a group of people and ask someone to think of a card, and then name it out loud. It can be any card they wish. There is no force. The subject is asked to truly visualize the card in their head and to help BURN this image into their minds you give them a lighter (or borrow theirs). After igniting the the lighter, they are asked to visualize the card within the dancing flame. You briefly thrust your fingers into the flame as if to grab their very thoughts, and wince in pain. For the jaw-dropping climax, you slowly turn your fingers around, to reveal the skin on your thumb and finger is now blistered inthe very shape of their FREELY CHOSEN CARD.

    You've just given them the third degree.

    The powerful mentalism of the Invisible Deck and the sheer impossibility of Pyro Perception have been combined to give birth to an effect that will leave people talking long after you've left, creating an impression so powerful that your spectators will think that you have powers that no mortal should have.

    <![CDATA[Arcane Playing Cards]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/arcane-deck-playing-cards.html

    Arcane is the first in Ellusionist's new line of Signature playing cards. Whether you infuse your magic with as much magic and mystery as a fantasy story, or you ground yourself in reality through gambling demonstrations, these cards will help your performance become more elegant, mysterious and powerful.


    Three top designers from across the globe working never-ending nights, burning midnight oil, and months of midnight jam sessions to bring you a deck of playing cards unparalleled and unsurpassed in the industry.

    Michaelangelo took four years to create the Sistine Chapel masterpiece... these took five.

    Printed the U.S. Playing Card Company, the Arcane deck sets new standards for playing cards. Arcane paves the way between the old and the new.

    Featured within each deck are classic Ellusionist innovations combined with incredible new features:

    • A simultaneous release of black and white versions. Choose the color that suits your style, or stock up on both to perform double-deck tricks or multi-colored flourishes and displays.

    • An all-new, compelling back design. No angels or bicycles here. Only dark, cryptic glyphs that speak in mysteries. The backs make fans and other XCM displays look like works of art.

    • Newly-designed face cards that match the glyphed, smoky backs. Each court card features traditional faces, but a different, Arcane-styled outfit.

    • High-resolution printing for incredible appearance gradients, and smoke effects.

    • A tuck case with wraparound design. This is the first card box of its kind.



    Arcane also offers features found in our other decks of custom playing cards, including:

    • An incredibly designed Ace of Spades that will carve itself into your mind.
    • A newly-designed joker equipped with a blatant yet invisible reveal.
    • Traditional elements of playing cards to ensure spectators' familiarity.
    • A Gaffed Joker card with a "3HEARTS" reveal included.

    LEARN THE UNKNOWN. MASTER THE ARCANE.

    <![CDATA[Army of 52 Gaff Training]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/army-of-52.html

    We guide you through every nook and cranny, gully, hill, and valley imaginable. By the time we finish with you, you'll know so much about gaff cards and how to use them, you will be able to go out and astound people in ways you never thought were possible.

    NOTE: The preview video shows the Ghost Gaff deck. The same type of material can be performed with the Red Gaff deck, but some cards are different between the decks.

    A FEW EXAMPLES OF TRICKS IN ARMY:

    • STRANGER CARD: The performer places a BLUE backed prediction card in the spectator's hand, face down. Another spectator takes any card out of the RED backed deck, and he signs it. The card is put back into the deck. With no funny moves, the prediction card is then slowly, slowly turned over to reveal the spectator's SIGNED, selected card-- now with a BLUE back. What the...?!
    • PIP MATRIX: Cause the pips (suit symbols) to visually move around the selected card-- culminating with all of the pips jumping to one corner of the card.
    • CAPTAIN BLUR: Hold complete control of your spectator's senses. Their chosen card appears to literally go out of focus at your will.

    ... and tons more. Also includes exclusive, members-only access to the Army of 52 Discussion Forum at Ellusionist. What tricks are people coming up with? Need help on routining your gaff tricks? March into the forums for additional tips, discussion, and ideas on use of all the Ellusionist Gaff Decks.

    <![CDATA[Tally-Ho Viper Playing Cards]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/tally-ho-viper-playing-cards.html

    We've taken the standard Tally-Ho deck and improved the look, design and feel.

    With the help of the USPCC, Ellusionist has produced one of the best looking and best feeling decks of cards available. Quality control experts at USPCC sat down and went over the production process of the Tally-Ho Viper in order to find out how to improve on the quality of the final product.

    The results of that meeting produced the finest cards available to consumers. Thick stock resulting in a crisp clean snap to each card. The Air Cushion finish with a smooth-as-silk feel, allows these cards to fan and be manipulated freely and easily.

    And finally a beautiful new look. It's time to go metallic.

    <![CDATA[Bicycle Deck Shells]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/bicycle-deck-shells.html

    Do you have any idea what can be done by switching a deck?
    Here's one effect from the video: A red-backed deck is spread and a card is freely selected and reversed in the deck. This deck never leaves the spectator's sight. The performer brings out a blue card box and removes a blue deck, spreading it on the table. One card is reversed and it matches the selection! In another effect a spectator's signature travels from one deck to another under seemingly impossible conditions.

    What is a Deck Shell?
    The Deck Shell is a metal base shell that looks like a card box. It fits over a regular card box, as in the illustration. You may not understand quite how to use it from just that description but you will once you get it.

    <![CDATA[How to do Street Magic]]> http://www.ellusionist.com/how-to-do-street-magic.html
    "As a physician who has been schooled by hundreds of teachers and professors over thirteen years of training, I get a little chuckle out of knowing that Brad has been the most capable instructor I've come across, bar none."
    - Marc Miller (Physician), Wisconsin, USA.

     

    THIS IS YOUR START in being able to walk into ANYWHERE and create illusion: the Street DVD is packed with 20 mindbending tricks and easy sleight of hand you will learn quickly and easily.

    The dynamic DVD combines gritty, stylized footage with superb, hard hitting tricks that use ordinary objects to amaze anyone. - Learn over 20 tricks and flourishes - Simple step-by-step format - Easy to learn! - Backed by our 90 day, iron-clad money back guarantee.

     

    "The stuff in the package will propel you to "Guru" status."
    -Bill Douglas, Augusta, GA

     

    "My girl's father had his hands on his head, her mother stood staring at me with her mouth opened, and the neighbor, well she actually screamed!!!  I mean she SCREAMED..." 
    -Fernando Cruz - San Jose, CA. 

     

    So Why Does 'the Package' Work So Well ?

    We discovered that people learn in minutes what it takes others weeks to learn when they can actually SEE it being done. It makes a huge difference in your ability to pick things up quickly and easily. It just...'works' way better. It has been proven that people learn better by "seeing it be done".  

    The video was shot over 43 days. It involves 22 participants and 7 beautiful 'magic girls' (who introduce each movie).  Pick your favorite.

    We considered 552 tricks for inclusion in the Package - but then threw out nearly all of them. Why?

    This is worth mentioning: because we don't like "plain" magic tricks. 

    We don't like tricks that just "get a smile" from someone.... or gags or practical jokes. Puzzles. All that stuff may have it's place, but not in our videos. We teach only those tricks that can be done anytime, anyplace. WE want you to know the tricks that will stick in people's minds for a LONG time.  

    That's why we went to the cost of producing the Package. If you have watched the videos on this site you will have seen the amazing quality of what we do. 

    If you find another offer out there that teaches you ALL of these tricks, plus the INCREDIBLE BONUS MATERIAL for this unbeatable price, we would really like to know about it.

     

    "Your CD is the best learning method I've ever seen.
    I understood things in a few minutes that I've struggled with for literally YEARS in the books I could find.  I'm a real right-brainer (music major, you know how we are) and it all just soaks in so well with the CD.  Thanks again."
    -Rick Merritt, Winston-Salem, NC

     

    "I would like to say, the quality of your videos is phenomenal. I have spent a lot of money on gimmicks and gaffs with other online magic shops. Nothing I have done for my classes (I am a high school teacher) has come close to the reaction I got when I did Trick Switch the day after I received Street Magic. You can only do Ultimate 3 Card Monte so many times before they figure…yah okay it is neat, but the cards must be fixed. With this I leave the cards on the table and walk away….it just blows their minds."
    - Thanks, J.H., Ontario, Canada



    Why not books?  Why video?

     

    We've never seen anyone, anywhere learn magic so quickly or easily, than with the Street Package. We do our instruction on video simply because books and written instructions just don't work the same way. A book DESCRIBES how to do a trick, but it can't SHOW you how to do it.
     

    Brad takes you by the hand...

    Brad takes you by the hand and explains not only how to create an illusion in someone's mind but why the psychology works to create the illusion. You will be able to literally make someone SEE things they are not really seeing.  You will go into the studio with Brad Christian to learn step-by-step, how to do and perform each illusion...

    You cannot find this anywhere else. And it works.

    Bring your hands together, in front of you, and an ace instantly appears between them. Next, you take this newly-produced Arcane Ace, and easily split it into two Arcane aces.The third Arcane ace materializes right out of thin air, at your fingertips.

    For the climax, with the cards held motionless, the fourth and final Arcane ace visually appears between the others.

    In the end, four Arcane aces sit fanned at your fingertips. Thunderbird uses no gimmicks or trickery; just well-composed sleight of hand.

    "Even though this is a technically challenging routine, and not for the faint of heart, I’ll take you by the hand. I'll teach you exactly what to do (and what NOT to do in some cases).

    My clearly written instructions guide you every step of the way, and the additional short video clips provide visual examples. When finished, there will be little room for any confusion, doubt, and indecision. It’s almost as if I were right there with you. In the end, you will perform this fantastic piece of magic."
