Long Beach Mystics DVD (Includes Performance by Armando Lucero) (DVD)

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:40:56 +0000

In 1955 in the Southern California community of Long Beach a group of young people started a magic club. In spite of (or perhaps because of) the lack of adult supervision the young magicians thrived. The group soon dominated the young magic scene in California and beyond for 30 years. Even though the group disbanded in the 1980s its members still represent some of the most creative artists in the magic world today. Filmmaker Shelly Jenkins has created a documentary about the magic club that never grew up. This is the story of the Long Beach Mystics. Featuring Interviews and performances with Michael Weber Mike Caveney Stan Allen Bill Smith Les Arnold amp Dazzle Armando Lucero Mark Kalin amp Jinger Randy Pryor Dana Daniels James Hamilton Victor amp Diamond Kevin James and David Deeble. With reflections by Mac King and Lance Burton

Dai Vernons Revelations – 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Box Set by LandL Publishing (DVD)

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:25:31 +0000

Its been 30 years since the initial release of Revelations the monumental video set that immortalized the life and work of perhaps one of the greatest magicians who ever lived – the Professor himself – Dai Vernon. In celebration LampL Publishing is releasing the Revelations 30th Anniversary Box Set which features all 17 volumes of Revelations digitally remastered on 8 DVDs. Also included are three bonus DVDs that contain extremely rare footage of Vernon lectures from the 1970s – almost six hours of material that almost no one has ever seen before. Included also are four audio CDs of Vernon lectures from the 1960s and two commemorative booklets. The first is a facsimile of the original Videonics Revelations catalog with comprehensive commentary on each volume by Sid Lorraine while the second contains Dr. Gene Matsuuras original notes made at Dai Vernons farewell lecture in 1976. Everything is packaged in a full color slipcase that is sure to make this set one of the most desirable magic keepsakes ever released. David Bens introduction that appears in the beginning of Gene Matsuuras notes booklet Will wonders never cease When it comes to Dai Vernon apparently not. This celebration of the 30th anniversary of Revelations the series produced originally in 1982 by Hans Zahn in Newfoundland attests to that amazing legacy and it provides yet another generation of magicians – old and new – the chance to experience Dai Vernon and his magic. This compilation is much more than just a repackaging of the original discs. With additional footage from the celebrated 1000 Lecture Tour in the mid-1970s private videos shot by Bill The Prez Larsen at The Magic Castle and supporting documentation and ephemera magic aficionados and historians now have an accurate portrayal of perhaps the most celebrated thinker and performer in magic during his Late Period. Start with Vernons lecture at the Washington Press Club in August 1973 courtesy of Arthur Emerson. (Still images of Arthur Emerson and Vernon were inserted for the first minute or so because the initial quality of the video was suspect. Your patience however will be rewarded.) Vernon is 79 years old at the time. Thats right 79 It is Late Vernon Second Wave. Next screen the October 9 1976 lecture at The Magic Castle. Here Vernon is reprising the content of the 1000 Lecture Tour.

Karl Fulves the Epilogue by Aldo Colombini (DVD)

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:28:11 +0000

Karl Fulves legendary magazine EPILOGUE was limited to 24 issues from 1967 to 1975 during those years some of the finest close-up magic of the period was explained in its pages. From the magazines with permission by Karl I have selected ten packet trick routines. CONTENTS DEVILS ELEVATOR (Bruce Cervon amp Dai Vernon) One of the finest routine for this classic theme. One of my all-time favorites (and soon to be one of yours) TRANSPOSE amp FOLLOW (Gerald Kosky) Two effects combined in a beautiful routine using the Aces and the Kings ALA ELMSLEY (Larry Jennings) The Larrys version of the famous Four-card trick by Alex Elmsley ROYAL BLUE (Karl Fulves) A packet of red-backed cards is shown front and back. One after the other the four Aces appear and at the end they are shown to have blue backs ALL FOR ONE (Bruce Cervon) Three cards are seen to be all 9C then all 3D and finally all QS BACK FLIP (Sam Schwartz) This is an eye-popping routine and the repeat color change looks impossible. Four blue-backed Kings turn face up one at a time the backs of the cards change from blue to red and then from red to green SWINDLE MATES (Herb Zarrow) A packet is shuffled by a spectator and matches the cards in another packet left always on the table UP-UP amp AWAY (J.K. Hartman) Another great elevator kind of routine with a surprising climax THREE DIFFERENT WAYS (Paul Swinford) A card changes place with the Ace of the same suit DOWN AND UNDER (Roy Walton) A spectator finds two mates. The trick is automatic and it is done with the cards in the spectators hands Running Time Approximately 40min… Read more at our Magic Shop – World-of-magic.co.uk
