MIRACLES FOR MORTALS #1 by GEOFF WILLIAMS
Killer Magic for the Rest of Us
This volume contains
ELECTRICAL ARTLET - Boom box cord too short to reach the wall outlet? No problem; just draw an outlet on a pad of paper, plug in the cord and the music starts right up! Based on a Fantasio effect and used with his permission.
UPLOOPTED - A horizontal card levitation that looks unbelievable!
THE "I HATE DAVID COPPERFIELD" TRICK - Based on "Close-Up Illusion" by Larry Jennings, a card visibly melts through another. The visuals here go way beyond the original.
THE OMEGA BET - Based on the Karl Fulves effect, Bob Wagner has turned this into a killer piece of entertainment, a 5-phase whirlwind of fun for everyone in the room! A random spectator decides the final, and most impossible, bet of all. The routine uses my false overhand shuffle (which is quite easy but appears totally fair).
MORE ON "OIL & WATER" - Sam Schwartz's wondrous 3-phase, 8-card O & W routine with No sleights! None! Thanks to Sam for allowing me to include this gem with minor handling changes.
MIRACLE COIN VANISH - This gets gasps from spectators. Looks like real magic. (Note: a jacket or sport coat is required)
JUST A BIT MORE ULTIMATE THAN JOHN MENDOZA'S "ULTIMATE TORN & RESTORED CARD" - The name says it all. In an e-mail to me, Mr. Mendoza (a close-up Deity) said he thinks more of this method (of his trick which appeared in "The Book of John") than any of the "piece-by-piece" restorations out there. You're clean at the first and clean at the end. As a bonus, it's super easy to do even though the card is signed on both sides!
Volume #1 Bonus Effects
INVISIBLE DECK FINESSE - Makes using an Invisible Deck more fun than ever (and the reset is during the routine).
FORKLIFT - Move silverware with your mind!
4-WAY COINCIDENCE - A reworking of a stunning prediction routine by John Murray from "Card Cavalcade 3" by Jerry Mentzer (included with Jerry's permission). Use a borrowed, thoroughly-shuffled deck. There's only one real "move" (which is laughably simple).
Running Time: Approximately 1hr 50min

MIRACLES FOR MORTALS #2 by GEOFF WILLIAMS
Killer Magic for the Rest of Us
This volume contains
BACHELOR'S THREAD - Raj Madhok's marvelous method of magically producing the ring for a Ring & String routine. It just appears out of nowhere!
THREADY OR NOT - My "improved" handling for the first phase of any Ring & String routine. Originally based on the Earl Nelson move (in "Variations"), this one addresses two major discrepancies in the original.
READY 2 LINK - A technique that makes the get ready for the Linking Rubberbands Totally Invisible. Based on Roger Klause's brilliant concept of "half-moves".
SHUFFLING STYLES FROM AROUND THE WORLD - A modular card routine where a card is located after a series of shuffling demonstrations. Includes the marvelous "Sybil" flourish cut (thanks to Chris Kenner) which is taught with a 5-card packet for easier learning.
IS IT HOT IN HERE OR IS IT JUST ME? - How to produce a seemingly-lit cigarette from anywhere on your person at any time in your act.
DEVASTATION - This might just be the best impromptu card trick on the planet! Tom Daugherty's totally impossible card location that'll devastate your audience (hence the name). Note: there's not one sleight in the entire trick! Works with a borrowed deck. Worth the price of this DVD many times over.
BEAR HANDS - A great packet trick for kids (or adults) where a bear jumps from a card onto a spectator's hand.
HAIRBALLS - A multi-phase, 2-ball sponge ball routine loaded with magic and designed to keep the spectator from opening their hand early (and spoiling the surprise finish).
THE HAT TRICK - The close-up version of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, suitable even for restaurant workers.
EVERYTHING'S A RADIO - A real reputation maker! Make a radio station broadcast come out of anything: a ketchup bottle, a crayon, a drawing... Anything!
IF THINE EYE OFFENDS THEE - Your eyeball falls out. You wash it off in your mouth. You glue it back in. What could be more natural?
Volume Two Bonus Effect
FURIOUS, JR. - A "penny to jumbo coin" routine inspired by the Gary Kurtz original.
Running Time: Approximately 1hr 58min

"The street is where it all began both historically and personally. I've spent over fifteen years making a living performing magic to crowds that didn't know they were going to be a crowd. Providing the unexpected to the unsuspecting. Shakespeare said "All the world's a stage" and if the police don't stop you then that's pretty much true. No matter where in the world I've been, and I've been around, no matter what language people speak, the magic works" - PETER WARDELL

Brian Tudor, a world-renowned card mechanic known for his unparalleled speed and dexterity as well as his groundbreaking new-school style, has broken all the rules by daring to reveal the material contained herein. Make no mistake, enemies have been made by taking these techniques public, but true to his up-from-the-streets attitude the author does not care. He is more concerned with cementing his place in history as the first one to put all the pieces together and publish one single comprehensive system for cheating at poker.
Brief descriptions outlining the five principles covered in this volume are as follows (each of these principles is thoroughly broken down step-by-step and visually explained in precise detail):
Card Location (finding the hot cards)
Card Control (stacking the deck)
False Shuffles (retaining the deck in stacked order)
Countering the Cut (nullifying the cut)
Trick Deals (putting the hot cards where you want them)
Is it ethical to demonstrate actual techniques used by professional card-cheats in an instructional format? To teach people how to cheat? It could easily be counter-argued that by understanding all the contents of this DVD a person could actually protect themselves from being cheated! It takes a cheat to catch a cheat. The ethics of this material is determined by the applications that the knowledge is put to. But right or wrong it's all here and cannot be ignored!
History has been made, and the viewer is left to find their own conclusions...
