Join Alex Pandrea in Hollywood for a rollicking ride through the world of card magic.
On this DVD, Alex breaks down three nifty card moves: a switch, a colour change, and a control. And because he’s not one to leave you hanging, he throws in a bunch of routines for each move, so you can actually use them (you know, in front of real people). Filmed on the sunny streets of Los Angeles, this is visual, practical material for card magicians who want to look good whilst doing it.
Monet - Alex takes the Paintbrush Change and gives it a hefty boost. This move lets you change a single card multiple times! Many thought it was just clever editing when they first saw it—but then they saw it live and realised it's all about pure, elegant sleight-of-hand. Learn the Paintbrush Change, Reverse Paintbrush, Single-to-Single, a Split Effect, and more! This is one of those moves that’s an absolute joy to practise and even better to perform!
AP Spread Control - Ed Marlo’s Convincing Control has a name that speaks volumes. While the original is indeed convincing, Alex has spent years refining this control to take it up a notch in deception and sophistication. You can control a card to the top or bottom of the deck—your call! Alex covers three techniques, including a rather impressive one-handed version!
T.O.P. - Inspired by the Turnover Pass, Alex's T.O.P. move allows you to control a card to the top or bottom of the deck, and it’s also handy for forcing a card with minimal sleight of hand! This versatile move can slot into countless routines, but fear not—Alex teaches three full effects in detail that make perfect use of the sleight.
