Let’s be honest, Alex Elmsley is one of the absolute legends of close-up magic. So, it’s no surprise that the Tahoe Sessions are among the best video collections ever put together. Back in 1998, Louis Falanga managed to catch Elmsley on film, and boy, was it worth it. Even with a few years under his belt, Elmsley’s magic is nothing short of FLAWLESS, and he radiates the kind of charm and wisdom that only a true legend possesses. These four downloads are a must-watch for anyone serious about close-up magic, and if you’re new to Elmsley’s brilliance, prepare to be utterly bamboozled by his clever principles.
The sheer range of jaw-dropping card tricks across these four volumes is a steal. You’ll find tricks that were trailblazing in their day and still inspire countless variations today: "Between Your Palms," "Diamond Cut Diamond," "Dazzle," and a thorough breakdown of all the early Elmsley count material.
Does Elmsley still have it? Absolutely! Check out his ridiculously clean (and quite tricky) rear-palm card to wallet or his fan steal. A master technician and an ingenious creator, he may not be the loudest in the room, but his wit and charm shine through.
Keep an eye out for his Cups and Balls routine. Even if you don’t adopt his method, you’ll appreciate the cleverness behind his bizarre final load, where he pours a mountain of loose salt from all the cups. And don’t miss "Dazzle" — quite possibly the BEST PACKET TRICK OF ALL TIME (not that we’re biased or anything). And for the finest two-deck effect ever created, look no further than "The Red and the Blue."
