- SKILL LEVEL : Intermediate
- WHY LEARN MAGIC TRICKS: There are many reason but above all, performing magic will help you boost your self-confidence. Learning a few simple tricks is a great way to build confidence and is a good ice breaker.
- INCREASE SELF-CONFIDENCE AND CHARISMA: Once you have performed a magic trick or two at a party or even a loose gathering, watch everyone come close to see what you're doing.
- GRAB ATTENTION ANYWHERE: When people see a magic trick being performed, they come in droves to see more. They crowd around, eager to be entertained and willing to suspend common sense,
Contains: The Big Surprise - The perfect way to open and close your show. A funny and seamless handling of the classic Card in Box effect. The assisting spectator discovers that the Big Surprise Canister really does contain a big surprise. A Visit from Rocco - A charming presentation for a great Larry West trick. Using giant bills, the magician gives Rocco and the audience a lesson in arithmetic. Rocco Returns - Rocco's back, with a lesson in Find the Lady. This routine for Ton Onosaka's Lucky Lady provides valuable information concerning the motivated handling of props. Ring Fright - Michael synthesizes ideas from Gaetan Bloom and Terri Rogers to produce a remarkable two object transposition. And because no pulls are used, no harm can come to the spectator's finger ring. Take a Letter - A weird effect using common stationery items. Never have so many magical principles been used in the cause of such a strange routine. Butte Ox? Two Butte Ox! - Michael's handling for the classic Johnny Paul Cheek to Cheek effect. Hilarious and a lesson in intelligent, motivated card handling. And the Unbelievably Useful Comedy Prop comes into its own. This routine is a mainstay of Michael's stand-up act. Bonus routine! - Michael performs (but does not explain) Stupid Travelers. Never has masterful card technique and maniacal behavior been combined in such a silly way. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll phone the authorities. Rubik's Dollar Bill - A penetration effect using a dollar bill, a playing card, and a toothpick. This is the first time all the work has been explained on video! The Growing Toothpick - Thirty seconds of eye-candy, as a toothpick triples in length.
