What if you could have the most thorough magic book ever crafted? It’s the kind of treasure every magician dreams of—each chapter diving deep into a unique aspect of the craft, showcasing the best routines ever devised. That's the genius behind L&L Publishing’s critically-acclaimed DVD series, The World's Greatest Magic by The World's Greatest Magicians! Each volume is like another chapter in the ultimate magic book. With detailed explanations and demonstrations of some of magic's most beloved and timeless effects by its top-tier practitioners, this series is an absolute must-have for anyone with a passion for the magical arts, no matter their skill level.
Now, let’s face it—magicians who specialise in close-up magic are often on the hunt for tricks that don’t involve playing cards. A staggering seventy-five percent of the magic published over the past half-century has been card-related, making quality non-card material as rare as a unicorn.
On this DVD, you’ll get to meet seven top-notch performers who’ll dazzle you with their impressive close-up routines—without a playing card in sight! Kicking things off, the legendary Bruce Cervon presents a beautifully crafted piece where a borrowed handkerchief is burned, magically mended, and then used for a jaw-dropping production. Glen Falkenstein, from the renowned mentalism duo Falkenstein & Willard, cleverly merges two simple props into a stunning hybrid of magic. Michael Ammar then takes the stage with all the deets on Stefan Schutzer’s brilliant animated bill effect. Bob Read follows with a side-splitting routine that’ll have you laughing so hard you’ll forget you’re being bamboozled at the end. Mark Leveridge provides an elegant and enchanting coin box routine, while Flip puts a twist on the classic linking rings with a couple of safety pins. To wrap things up, Bill Malone performs and teaches a delightful (and impressively portable!) Cups and Balls routine that’s sure to charm the socks off everyone, young and old.
It’s been said that even the grandest stage illusion can't quite match the sheer astonishment of a well-executed piece of close-up magic. Well, this DVD serves up seven compelling examples to prove just that.
