WHAT'S ON THE DVD?
A 60-minute documentary titled Art of Magic featuring insights from David Regal, Aaron Fisher, Dan & Dave, and WH.
An in-depth 60-minute teaching session where Wayne unveils the secrets behind 5 of the jaw-dropping effects showcased in the documentary. Get ready to learn:
TWISTING THE ACES - Wayne's elegant spin on Dai Vernon's classic. Watch as the four aces magically turn face up one by one. It's clean, beautiful, and will leave jaws on the floor.
FRENCH KISS - Ask someone to sign a card, fold it up and plonk it in their mouth. Then, you sign another card, fold it, and pop it in your own mouth. In a twist that would make a plot twist jealous, the two cards switch places. Your card is now in their mouth, and theirs is in yours. Simple, yet mind-boggling.
WH RING+STRING MYSTERY - A piece of string visually penetrates through a borrowed ring. It’s fresh, fun, and let’s be honest, just a bit bonkers.
MATCH BITE - Light a match, extinguish it on your tongue (don't try this at home, kids), then bite off the burnt end, chew it, and spit it back onto the match. Yes, really. Just one match, and it’s all you need.
CARBON PAPER - An astonishing effect courtesy of Jay Sankey. Burn the back of a playing card and your spectator will feel the burn travel through to a signed card that’s been in their hands the whole time... leaving the originally burnt card completely unscathed. Performed and taught by Wayne Houchin.
The documentary and instructional sections of this DVD aim to encapsulate a modern take on the Art of Magic through personal stories, practical advice, and live performances.
