The Ivory Connection by Reed McClintock and Steve Dobson (DVD)

The Ivory Connection by Reed McClintock and Steve Dobson What is The Ivory Connection The Ivory Connection is the name explorers gave to the secret pathway leading from a clever pocket trick from the 1940s to a stunning magical experience of today. The Ivory Connection was discovered by professional performers Reed McClintock and Steve Dobson working in the trenches exploring the past for new miracles to bring back to their audiences. The Ivory Connection is the only version of the Sacks dice routine that begins with magic looks like magic and ends with magic. Two dice appear out of nowhere. Their spots dance across their faces jumping from die to die until the only thing the audience is sure of is that theyve seen all sides of each die. Each separate die.. and then…they reach their final destination just south of reality. Archeologists at The Magic Bakery recently unearthed a lost map of the Ivory Connection stored on an ancient form of communication known as videotape. Unable to restore the images they found they journeyed into the wild to capture Reed McClintock and Steve Dobson in their natural habitat. Using modern broadcast-quality digital cameras they caught Reed performing the routine in front of a live audience and both Reed and Steve in the optimal viewing conditions of a video studio. The new DVD features the updated presentations explanations handlings and tips from both intrepid explorers. For the first time the rare and illusive Steve Dobson reveals his preferred handling. For the first time Reed McClintock explains the refinements he has made after years of performances for paying audiences. And as a bonus for future historians the entire footage of the original Ivory Connection is included in all of its low production glory. Todays audiences demand more than just a couple of dice whose sides dont add up. Take them on a trip down the Ivory Connection.

Magic Books

Alexander by David Charvet (Book)

The first edition of Alexander The Man Who Knows told the incredible story of Claude Conlins rise to fame as his generations premier mindreader. Just when you thought the Alexander story couldnt get any more amazing along comes this new greatly-expanded edition. Loads of new stories that read like a Saturday afternoon movie serial and dozens of new photographs that prove every one of those stories is true. Throughout this book two very different stories unfold. First there is the account of Claude Alexander Conlin the man who became perhaps the highest paid entertainer in the field of magic. Starting out as a stage illusionist Alexander eventually discarded the large props and relied on his tremendous skills as a showman to put over an act of mentalism and psychic readings. As the turbaned Man Who Knows Alexander earned four million dollars over the course of a relatively short career during the 1920s. The second story that runs concurrently with Alexanders theatrical career includes details on his seven marriages (sometimes to more than one woman at once) time spent in local jails and federal prison his trial for attempting to extort an oilman millionaire his failed attempt to out run the authorities in a high powered speed-boat loaded with bootlegged liquor and the four men that he admitted killing. It is not the kind of story in which you expect to find names like Harry Kellar Dr. A.M. Wilson Harry Houdini Servais Le Roy Howard Thurston Floyd Thayer Joe Dunninger and Harry Blackstone but here they are both friend and foe alike
