If you’re on the hunt for a single magic DVD set that packs a punch, look no further! This benchmark compilation showcases a dazzling array of magic's most beloved effects and routines. It’s a delightful treasure trove, featuring the top-notch masters of magic sharing their secrets and techniques for a whole smorgasbord of classic tricks. From linking rings to sponge balls, metal bending to cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, colour-changing knives, and a whole lot more — it’s all here in this brilliant DVD reference set. Each volume dives into a specific theme, showcasing both fresh and vintage footage from the best video producers in the magic biz.
The card-to-impossible-place plot has been around longer than your grandad's jokes (and trust me, that's saying something). The earliest version of what we now call the Card To Wallet was cheekily dubbed "The Card in the Pocketbook" in some dusty old magic texts. Over the centuries, clever magicians have concocted a myriad of methods to make a chosen card mysteriously materialise in their wallets, and this collection serves up a fantastic spread of techniques for all levels of skill. John Mendoza kicks things off by plucking two cards from a zippered wallet that’s been on display the entire time — no palming required (yes, you read that right). Then, Alexander deCova gives a nod to the iconic LePaul effect with his own twist featuring a signed card appearing inside an envelope — and guess what? No palming again! Michael Ammar follows suit with a brilliantly logical approach where a torn playing card transforms into a credit card, only for the original card to turn up restored in the wallet (it's all very clever, really). Next up is Eddie Tullock, the king of trade shows, who shows how to morph a basic card-to-wallet effect into a killer promotional tool. Dan Fleshman throws in his version of the classic Red Hot Momma with a socko wallet finish, while Alex Elmsley comes in hot with a card-to-wallet routine that requires no gimmicked wallets and is always good to go. Finally, Eric DeCamps wraps things up with his card in wallet routine featuring three selections that play beautifully in both stand-up and close-up settings.
Uncovering a chosen (often signed) playing card from the magician’s wallet is a timeless showstopper. If you’re keen to add this classic crowd-pleaser to your repertoire, this collection is the best place to kick off your journey.
