Al Schneider may be the wizard of close-up magic, but don’t let that fool you—he’s also a stand-up sorcerer with a knack for making crowds chuckle and gasp in equal measure. In this volume, you’ll get a ready-to-go 15-minute act that’s perfect for any bash. Just add a smidgen of practice, and you’ll be dazzling them in no time!
CONTENTS INCLUDE:
LINKING RINGS - An absolute classic. This five-ring routine is a fantastic opener (though it’s got enough pizzazz to finish your show with a bang). It’s straightforward and packs a punch.
ROPE - A knot routine that’s as warm as a cup of tea. Knots pop in and out like they’ve got a mind of their own! Honestly, if you want any respect as a rope magician, you’ll need to nail this one.
GOLF BALLS - A routine that’s a whole act in itself! Watch as a ball materialises from a silk scarf, followed by three more that appear and vanish like magic (oh wait, it is magic!). The grand finale? The last ball transforms into a giant golf ball right in your hands. And the best part? No table required—perfect for those of us who like to keep things mobile!
COIN TRAY ROUTINE - Prepare to be amazed with this stunning routine featuring a deceptively simple coin tray. The spectator counts some coins and holds onto them tightly (because, well, you never know). You’ll make coins vanish, even whilst they’re touching the last one in a handkerchief. Spoiler alert: they all come back to her hands. Magic, eh?
FUSION - Count four single ropes and, with a snap, they visually merge into one. It’s so easy you could do it with your eyes closed (but maybe don’t). Plus, you can do it surrounded—because who doesn’t like a little drama?
ZOMBIE - The routine that made Tommy Wonder swoon! In Al’s version, the ball seems to have a mind of its own, teasing the performer. This gem can be done surrounded and up close, with virtually no prep—just grab the ball and go! It’s designed to win over even the most cynical of audiences!
