Packet tricks—the sneaky little siblings of card magic—often get a bad rap. Sure, they exploded in popularity during the 60s and 70s (thanks to Jon Racherbaumer, who coined the term "packeteer" for the magicians in the know), but the truth is they’ve been around since the late 1800s. If you think they’re just cheap parlor tricks, you’re in for a surprise! A well-crafted packet trick can knock your audience's socks off—sometimes even more than a full deck! So, grab your small stack of cards, and get ready to become a proper packeteer with the wisdom packed into this DVD!
In Volume 3, you’ll witness a cavalcade of magicians showcasing their best small-packet card magic—stuff that will make you look like a wizard in front of your mates. Bill Malone kicks things off with a turbocharged version of Paul Harris’ Reset, where the Aces and Kings play a dizzying game of musical chairs. Paul Wilson follows with an in-the-hands trick featuring a selected card that’s the only one sporting a different-coloured back. Then, the ever-quirky Pavel introduces us to a card-eating turtle (yes, you read that right) that munches away at four freely chosen cards, leaving your audience in stitches. John Guastaferro takes the stage with four cards featuring frogs that transform into princes before hopping back again—classic magic mischief!
Michael Ammar spins a yarn with Brother John Hamman's Twins using just a handful of cards, while Dan Fleshman delivers a swift, sweet moment where the four Aces morph into a bunch of Kings, just like that! James Swain doesn’t miss a beat with his contemporary classic, showcasing four Queens with unique back designs, only to reveal at the end that they all have different backs (mind blown!). And to wrap it all up, Michael Ammar treats us to Dai Vernon's legendary effect where the four Aces turn over one by one, making magic look as effortless as a Sunday stroll.
