Al Schneider might be a close-up legend, but don’t let that fool you—he’s got stand-up chops that can light up any stage. In this volume, he delivers and deconstructs a solid 15-minute act that’s ready to roll. With a bit of rehearsal, you’ll be set to bring down the house at your next gig.
CONTENTS INCLUDE:
LINKING RINGS - This classic five-ring routine is a must-have opener for any stand-up set (but honestly, it’s strong enough to close the show too). It’s straightforward and packs a punch—no fluff here!
ROPE - A delightful knot routine that’s as engaging as your favorite dinner party. Watch knots magically appear and vanish in the blink of an eye! If you’re serious about being a rope magician, you can’t afford to skip this one!
GOLF BALLS - This routine is a complete act in its own right! It kicks off with a ball magically produced from a silk scarf, followed by three more balls that appear and then disappear. The grand finale? The last ball morphs into a giant golf ball right in your hands. And the best part? You can perform this gem entirely from your pockets—no table required!
COIN TRAY ROUTINE - A jaw-dropping routine using a prop that’s often overlooked—a simple coin tray. The spectator counts some coins, holds them tight, and hands you three. Each coin gets placed into a handkerchief and vanishes, with the spectator even touching the last coin before it disappears. Spoiler: The three coins magically reappear in their hands. Mind blown!
FUSION - Count four ropes, snap your fingers, and watch them visibly merge into one. This one’s a breeze to do, and you can pull it off surrounded. Bonus: The rope can be examined immediately after—because who doesn’t love a good after-party?
ZOMBIE - This routine inspired Tommy Wonder’s take on the classic, and boy, does it deliver! In Al's version, the ball seems to have a mind of its own, playfully teasing the performer. You can do this one up close and surrounded, and there’s virtually no setup—just grab the ball and let the magic happen! It's crafted to win over even the toughest crowds!
