After a twelve-year hiatus from the video scene, Michael Close is back, and boy, does he have some tricks up his sleeve. His last collection, The Ultimate Workers, was the gold standard in quality and instruction—routines that truly earned the title of "worker."
Now, he’s here to entertain, baffle, and leave both laymen and magicians scratching their heads in disbelief. Get ready to laugh, be amazed, and when you see the workings behind these routines, you’ll be saying, "That guy is devious!"
Having spent the last decade in the bustling magic mecca of Las Vegas, Michael knows a thing or two about performing in front of an audience. This two-disc video set dives deep into card magic, offering routines perfect for formal gigs, strolling performances, casual hangouts, and those glorious moments when you want to leave your fellow magicians completely flabbergasted. Michael doesn’t just scratch the surface with the "how"—he takes you into the realm of the "why," with plenty of additional insights along the way.
So, kick back, grab a drink, and prepare for a wild ride. Getting fooled has never been this entertaining.
