Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.
It’s been a solid dozen years since Michael Close graced us with any video material. His previous collection, The Ultimate Workers, was a hit for its killer routines and spot-on explanations. These were the kind of tricks that made the term "worker" mean something.
Well, guess what? Michael is back at it, and he’s still got the same goal: to entertain and completely bewilder everyone in his path, be they laypeople or fellow magicians. Prepare to chuckle, gasp, and then, when you finally grasp his devious methods, mutter, “Wow, that guy is sneaky.”
For the last decade, Michael's been honing his craft in the bustling magic scene of Las Vegas, where cards are as common as bad buffet food. In this two-disc video set, he zeroes in on card magic, showcasing routines that are perfect for everything from formal gigs to casual strolls — and, of course, those precious moments when you want to leave your magician pals scratching their heads. As ever, Michael's explanations dive deep, going beyond just the "how" to dissect the "why" behind each routine. Lots of bonus info is also included for those who like a little extra meat on their magic bones.
So, kick back, take a load off, and brace yourself for a wild ride. Getting fooled has never been so entertaining.
