Comedy Rising Card- A very funny, entertaining quickie. A card is selected and returned to the deck. You hold the deck in your hand and a card begins to rise out of the pack. It keeps rising until it actually appears to be floating in mid-air. The illusion is broken, however, when you turn to your side and the audience sees that the card is actually stuck to your magic wand which is tucked under your arm.Card On Tie (Dan Korem)- This is probably the best EFFECT on the whole series. A corner is torn from a selected card and handed to a spectator as a reciept. A safety pin is inserted into the deck which is handed to a spectator. The cards are thrown at the magicians chest and the selected card appears pinned to his shirt. Of course, the corner matches.
Caller I.D. (Eric Allen)- An over-the-top yet super simple way to reveal a selected card. The phone rings during your card trick. When the spectator looks at the caller I.D., the phone displays a message that says "Incoming Call from (name of selection)."
Card In Balloon (Derek Dingle)- Won't fool magicians, but I'll have to try it in front of lay people to see how well it could play.
Impossible Miniature Rising Cards (Martin Lewis)- If you've seen this effect, you know how magical it can look. Two cards are selected from a miniature deck. A handkerchief is placed on the table with an ashtray on top. The cards are replaced in the card box and placed in the ashtray. A tall glass is then placed over the card box to prevent any tampering. One by one the selected cards rise out of the box. Everything may then be examined. WOW!
Spectator Cuts to the Aces (Elmer Biddle, Bob Veeser)- An easy to do miracle. Your audiences will love it. Created by Elmer Biddle and Bob Veeser. If you know much about magic, that pretty much tells you what moves are involved.
Weiner's Miracle Princess Cards (Irv Weiner)- A clever mentalism, thought of cards effect that, unfortunately, Michael's performance does not show. It was long and drawn out, and when it was time to reveal the selections, Ammar actually missed two times. He did a wonderful job covering his mistake with a production of the two misses from his fly. Sadly, his out was more entertaining than his attempted effect. I just don't think his performance did this bit of magic justice.
Also included...
Larry's Favorite (Larry Jennings)
Mona Lisa Card (Michael Skinner)
Anytime 4 Aces (Frank Garcia)
The performance sections are a little disappointing. I don't think Michael is as comfortable with these effects as he is with the ones in the other volumes. The teaching portions however are incredibly well done. If the effects appeal to you, this DVD is definitely worth your consideration.
