Impossible Card Magic DVD (Kosby) - £37.00
Ray Kosby's card magic is quick, visual, and is guaranteed to have a powerful impact on any audience. Impossible Card Magic is a perfect title for this program. Every item is impossible to figure out when you first see it -- you will be fooled. All the routines are very creative in both effect and method. The skill level ranges from intermediate to advanced but the effort involved in learning these routines will surely put you ahead of the crowd.
Routines performed and explained:
Smudge: The card case is used as a vacuum cleaner to visually erase the center pip of a three. The three is now a two and an ace is found inside the card case.
Recased: The cards are removed from a card case and the case is put away. In an instant the case is back in your hand with the cards back inside.
Pac Jacks: A sandwich routine where fifty-one cards visually appear sandwiched between two jacks while the selection remains in the hand where the deck was a moment ago.
Deep Thought: A spectator thinks of a card seen in the deck. The deck is shuffled and fanned. A single card is pulled out of the fan so it sticks out of the deck. The spectator names her card as the deck is turned over to show the card sticking out of it is the thought-of selection.
Raise Rise: One of the routines Ray is best known for is this visual ambitious card sequence where a signed selection is placed near the bottom of the deck so it sticks out half its length. All of a sudden it visually jumps to the middle, near the top, it becomes the top card and finally ends up on the bottom of the deck -- you will not believe your eyes.
Venus Fly Trap: Two queens are placed together face up in the deck so they are sticking out for half their length. A card is selected and placed face down protruding from the deck. In an instant the two queens seem to jump through the deck and encircle the selection.
Half Right: A quick and visual torn-and-restored card routine where a card is torn in half and then restored as the spectator pulls it out of the deck.
Freedom Of Choice: A spectator freely touches the backs of four cards as the deck is being spread between your hands. The touched cards are pushed forward. When the spread is turned up the four cards are shockingly seen to be the four aces.
Oil And Water: A devious three phase oil and water routine like no other. It is quick, visual and easy to follow as four red cards and four black cards magically separate and remix.
The Other Cheek: Three selected cards are held face down in your hand. A quick shake causes them to visually turn face up one at a time. The effect and method are unbelievable.
Jack In Box: A jack is placed on top of a card case and in an instant it vanishes to reappear inside the case.
Out Of Space: An impossible looking routine which begins with four kings. As the kings are counted three aces appear between them. The aces are placed on the table as the four kings magically change into the fourth ace. The program is full of impossible card magic that will fool and entertain. A Meir Yedid Magic product.

Impossible Close-Up Magic DVD (Kosby) - £37.00
Ray Kosby is one of the most creative close-up magicians you will see. He comes up with original and often offbeat effects and his methods are just as wild. The strength behind his magic is that his routines will fool you. Audiences gasp at his effects -- when they are not speechless all they can say is, WOW! Try to figure out how he accomplishes the routines on this program without watching the explanations -- he will absolutely fool you -- you will have no clue as to how Ray accomplishes these impossibilities.
Routines performed and explained:
Silver and Bone: A two phase routine which starts with a coin visually penetrating through your hand and concluding with a visual transposition between a half dollar and a jumbo coin.
Sidewinder Pretzel: An ordinary pretzel stick is bent at right angles and then twisted into the standard pretzel design.
Rubber Nightmare: A large rubber band is split into three equal sized bands and then the three bands are shown to be of different lengths -- a small, medium and large. The professor's Nightmare with rubber bands?
Square One: A startling coin assembly with no covers where the coins assemble to one spot on the table and instantly jump back to the four corners.
The Bite: Ray's trademark routine where he takes a bite out of a red apple and a moment later he is seen holding a green apple with the same bite missing. No switches and no sleight-of-hand used.
Twixt the Threads: A coin penetrates through the center of a handkerchief.
Osmosis: A ball visually penetrates through the center of a clear plastic bag.
The Picnic Trick: A can of soda is popped open so the liquid splashes. You rub the opening of the can and it heals itself so it is as good as new.
1 2 3 4: Four sponge cubes are produced and placed in your fist. The fist is opened to show a giant number "4" made out of sponge. The "4" is then ripped into four separate cubes.
The methods are all straight forward and vary in difficulty from self-working to difficult. You will love the magic on this tape. Truly something for everyone. A Meir Yedid Magic product.

The Rundown: So at this point you might be asking yourself: "Are these guys insane? Does this use a real gun with live rounds?" No. This effect is the magician’s version of the Russian roulette. It uses no guns at all. In fact it uses just the most basic of props: 3 Styrofoam cups and a big scary nail. (Other "safe" methods are taught where there is no need for a nail or any dangerous item)
The Performance: The Magician presents 3 cups and a very sharp nail. He tells the spectator that he may choose any of the 3 cups to put over the nail, and once the nail is covered he should mix the cups around so there is no way for the Magician to know where the nail might be. This happens as the Magician's back is turned.
Now, the Magician turns back around and proceeds to dramatically play "Russian roulette" smashing each cup as hard as he can. With each cup the danger grows, one mistake and he'll have a nail right through his hand. With a twist ending, the Magician ends up safe and unharmed having chosen the correct cup.
Running Time Approximately 16min
WARNING: This effect is extremely dangerous

Up Levitation - £33.99
Skill Rating: Intermediate
Effect: A deck of cards cuts itself by levitation to reveal a spectator's selected card or to magically find your favorite four of a kind. If you have ever wanted to perform a levitation close up and personal, without the many drawbacks of prior methods, NOW YOU CAN!

No more threads
No more magnets
No more gimmick decks (YES you can just as easily use a borrowed deck!)
Michael Boden and Troy Hooser are releasing the UP LEVITATION gimmick to the magic community with the realization of... yes a levitation that looks this good... can easily be accomplished by the everyday performer.

The gimmick's brilliant design takes the worry out of "is this a levitation I will actually use?"

The UP LEVITATION gimmick has been designed to be worry free of extensive set ups or concealment. Now you can use a normal deck of cards that has been in play or even borrow one, without having to worry about how difficult it is to get in and out of the effect.

The spectator's freely selected card is returned to the deck and the deck is openly ribbon spread upon the table, (showing the lack of card control and hand concealment of any kind) the deck is then squared and openly held in you left hand as the magic begins... the deck slowly separates, levitating upwards dividing itself into two halves... then just as eerily the top half of the deck floats back down into the palm of your waiting hand... the deck is then separated at the point of levitated separation to reveal that the spectator's selected card has been found by levitation.

Finding your favorite four of a kind has never been more magical as the the deck slowly separates once again, levitating upwards into two halves, but this time you take the bottom half completely away as the top half slowly floats down into your empty waiting left palm! Now the two halves of the levitated deck are tabled and displayed to reveal FOUR ACES at the point of levitated separation.

The UP LEVITATION gimmick is the final answer to a close UP LEVITATION, with worry free pre-show setups. The gimmick's unique design stabilizes the up and down movement of the deck for you and its streamline shape makes it easily added to any deck of cards.

Michael and Troy's DVD will teach you with step by step instruction, just how easily this amazing levitation is to perform. You will also learn how to use your UP LEVITATION gimmick to cleverly force a card as Troy teaches you "The Up Force." The UP FORCE is a truly new concept that you will want to add to your arsenal of forcing techniques.

Bonus effect includes Michael's "THE VANISH" Now you see it... Now you don't... has never been more visually real, as you watch Michael's vanish a full deck of cards! Learn how to make your own gimmick that will let you display a full deck of cards and without anything more than between the hands cover. The deck instantly vanishes and is found in your pocket! The UP LEVITATION / UP FORCE and THE VANISH are diabolical methods to visually impressive effects, that will delight you with the thought of, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Who's Afraid of Invisible Thread (DVD) (By Leclair) - £39.99
This is considered the definitive work on magic with invisible thread. If you have ever wanted to perform astounding magic where objects seem to move and float on their own this is your opportunity. Based on Jon LeClair's best-selling book "The Art of Invisible Thread," this program takes you on a candid outing where LeClair performs live for startled spectators in a restaurant. You are then taught how to perform everything. LeClair's techniques can be used at virtually anytime and in any situation -- they are the most practical methods for using invisible thread ever developed. Routines performed and taught: Whirling Card: Inspired by Bob Hummer's Whirling Card, a borrowed business card spins in mid air and flies around your body. Standing Card: A borrowed business card is balanced on it's edge on the back of your hand. Erectile Bill: A borrowed bill is folded lengthwise and placed on a table -- it slowly begins to rise until it is standing upright. Floating Bill: A borrowed bill is crumpled into a ball and placed on your palm. It slowly begins to move and float while your hands wave above, below and all around it. Ring on Wand: A borrowed finger ring magically moves along the length of a Plexiglas wand. As a repeat the entire sequence is performed while everything is in the spectator's hand. Animated Matchbox: A matchbox which is laying on your palm flips over and then its drawer magically opens. What makes this version special is that the matchbox is examinable before and after the routine. Animated Deck: A selected card is returned to the deck as the pack cuts itself and pushes the selection out. Rising Card: A selected playing card rises out of the deck. Cigarette Follies: A borrowed cigarette moves and jumps while on the table. Defying Death: A spectator writes the name of someone who has died on a piece of paper which is folded and placed into a vase along with four similarly folded papers containing names of living persons. All of a sudden one of the papers starts bouncing in the vase and finally jumps out -- on it is the name of the dead person -- his spirit made it happen! Also taught are the most important techniques used in invisible thread magic: how to overcome thread breakage, making your own invisible thread, quick thread set-up, practice tips, vital thread handling, and much more. You are also taught the secrets of the LeClair Animator, which makes everything on this video possible. Comes with a free starter package of invisible thread and specially compounded flesh coloured putty so you can start performing immediately after learning the techniques. Even if you never tried to use invisible thread before, this program will give you the confidence and teach you everything you need to know. This is one of the most diabolical tools available to the close-up magician. A real reputation maker.
