It’s been a solid twelve years since Michael Close graced us with a DVD, and let’s be honest, we’ve missed him. His last collection, The Ultimate Workers, was a hit—packed with top-notch material and instructions that were as thorough as a magician’s laundry list. These were routines that truly embodied the term “worker.”
But guess what? Michael's back and still up to his old tricks (pun intended)! His mission? To entertain and absolutely baffle everyone he encounters, whether they’re punters or fellow magicians. Expect to laugh, be dazzled, and when you finally grasp the workings behind these routines, you’ll be thinking, “Blimey, that bloke is devious!”
After a decade of dazzling in Las Vegas (the land of card tricks and questionable decisions), Michael’s back with a two-disc DVD set focusing on card magic. The routines are a mix—perfect for swanky gigs, casual strolls, and those moments when you want to leave your magic mates utterly flummoxed. As always, Michael doesn’t just stick to the “how” of each trick; he dives into the “why” with the kind of depth that’ll make your head spin. Plus, there’s a treasure trove of extra info to boot.
So, sit back, relax, and prepare for a right good time. Getting fooled has never been this entertaining.
