It’s been a whopping twelve years since Michael Close graced us with any video magic. His last collection, The Ultimate Workers, was praised for its top-notch material and detailed instruction. These were the routines that truly nailed the definition of a "worker."
But guess what? Michael’s back, and he’s still on a mission to entertain and baffle everyone in sight—laymen or magicians alike. Expect to chuckle, be astonished, and when you discover the secrets behind these routines, you’ll be thinking, “Cor blimey, that bloke is devious.”
For the last decade, Michael’s been plying his trade in Las Vegas, a place where a deck of cards is basically a fashion accessory. In this two-disc video set, he hones in on card magic, showcasing routines perfect for formal gigs, strolling about, casual performances, and those moments when you want to leave your magic mates’ jaws on the floor. As always, Michael dives deep, exploring not just the "how" of each trick but also the "why." And trust us, there’s a treasure trove of extra info to feast on.
So, kick back, relax, and prepare for a jolly good time. Getting fooled has never been this entertaining.
