MCCLINTOCK TWIST by REED MCCLINTOCK
"The McClintock twist is one of the great innovations in False counting of the last several decades." - Richard Kauffman - Genii Magazine
"A most beautiful and artistically created card effect, completely fluid" - Juliana Chen
Whether you are young or old, Reed’s latest innovations in card work are a must have for your repertoire. Reed McClintock’s audience acclaim can be yours!

This illusion can be mastered in a few minutes and perfected over a lifetime.
Illusion One: Just the Twist
This illusion is comprised of the basic twist and a way to do the classic twisting of the Aces. Of course using no gaffs or extra cards. It is also done vertically rather than the traditional waist level view.
Illusion Two: Reed Picks His Pockets
Quite possibly the finest pick your own pocket routine ever devised. Reed picks his own pockets. A routine so clever and sneaky that even the keenest of minds have been totally baffled. The technology being applied is so straightforward and inspiring you have to see it to believe it. This is a full show piece, so much magic happens in a non confusing way that this routine is said to be worth the whole price of the DVD alone.
Illusion Three: Spots
One of the most artistic pieces of magic you have ever seen. Four white cards are shown with spots about the size of half dollars on them. One at a time the spots move to the outer corners of each card. The cards are rotated 180 degrees and now the spots from the corners join to make one big spot in the middle. If you’ve asked yourself what is a trick to get a great gig or a new booking, this DVD is for you. This illusion can be done with company logos, letters to form words, images to create other images and so much more. The possibilities are limited by only your imagination.

EXPANDED SHELLS by MULTIPLE ARTISTS
Imagine the best magic, the best magicians, and the best producers all in one place. Imagine no more...
If you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This benchmark collection features just about all of magic's most enduring and classic effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for some of magic's classics. Linking rings, sponge balls, metal bending, cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing knives, and many, many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific DVD reference set. Each volume covers a specific subject and features new, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic.
The expanded shell coin is one of the close-up magician's greatest utility gimmicks but unfortunately, many magicians have never really explored the full potential of this precision-machined and very powerful item.
On this volume, you'll see some of magic's most original performers demonstrate the amazing variety of ways that this single tool can be used to create completely different and magical effects.
Using the expanded shell, you'll be able to cause coins to invisibly travel, as ably demonstrated by David Roth, Michael Ammar, Mark Leveridge and Jon Allen or even make imaginary coins move like Garrett Thomas. You'll also be able to make coins penetrate straight through solid object, as performed and taught by David Roth, or even penetrate through other coins like Dan Harlan. Combine all of that with some completely different ideas from Harry Allen and the versatile Mr. Roth and you'll never look at expanded shell coins quite the same way again.
Believe us when we say that there is a world of magic in a simple expanded shell coin and these world-class performers are your perfect tour guides.

HOWARD BALTUS PRESENTS MORE WITH LES - THE MAGIC OF LES ALBERT
"Some years ago Les performed an original dice and cards mentalism piece for some friends. They asked that he perform this effect for a gentleman seated across the room. Not knowing who the gentleman was, Les obliged and ultimately baffled Harry Lorayne, at least for a little while! Harry asked permission to write up the routine in Tarbell 7 and named the effect Die-Duction.
Being a Philly boy like myself, Les used to hang out with Nat Litt, Lee Gray and was Jack Chanin's doctor for a while. Through the decades, Les honed his skills and created many wonderful routines and some great variations on existing ones. I am delighted to bring to you, More with Les!
The effects chosen for this dvd are rather simple to execute, fun to perform and have a great reaction from any age audience! We think you'll enjoy the magical teachings from a very humbled gentleman!"
-Howard A. Baltus
The Tricks You'll Learn:
1. Coin Transference by Les Albert
Influences and inspirations from Lee Gray and Jack Chanin. Years later a similar routine was published by Paul Chosse.
Copper and silver coins jump back and forth several times; copper coins turn to silver, silver coins turn to copper, and then all returns back to normal. Truly a wonderful effect that is easy to master. You will use this one in your act!
2. Flushstrated Aces - Routine by Les Albert
Cutting the Aces by Patrick Reymond. Another great variation to a classic four ace production and then some!
3. Triple Prediction Revisited
Originally performed by Dai Vernon; made easier by Les.
4. 515 - Les Albert - Les Albert
A mentally selected card vanished from the deck and appears pretty much anywhere the performer desires.
5. Group Therapy
Variation on an effect written by Jean Hugard found in the Encyclopedia of Card Magic.
A mentally selected card from a group of cards is found in a way that will fool magicians!
6. Coins Sleightly Grey
Lee Greys (Kanter's Magic) Traveling Coins. The name says it all! This is Lee Grey's routine taught to Les by Lee himself!
7. Magic Coin & Deck - Les Albert
A simply brilliant use for a coin set that you already own! The routine that Les devised is pure magic that incorporates coins and cards into a classy performance piece.
8. Die-Duction - Les Albert - Tarbell 7
This was the first trick that Les had published. It's perfect mentalism that works well with any gaming or gambling routine involving dice and cards.
9. The Kings Deal - An elevator card variation.
Perfect for gambling or cheating at cards demonstrations. Les's presentation makes great use of the elevator card principle.
10. Paddle Hop - Les Albert
We've all played with the Money Paddle at some point in our magical lifetime, but not this way!
11. Couples Therapy - Les Albert
The magic happens between the two spectators. Using a couple from the audience, he touches any card; she looks at the card which is mixed back into the deck. He is asked to slide a facedown card forward. She names the card he chose a moment ago. When he turns over the card, it's the one he touched and she saw! Sound confusing? That's why it's called Couples Therapy!
BONUS EFFECT
Coins Across - Performance only!
While this coin classic has seen it share of printed articles, books, videos and DVDs, we decided to include it on this dvd because of its strength in performance. It's a fun piece to perform and when the right spectator is chosen to help you, anything goes!
An early routine of Coins Across done is the hands with brass covers can be found in Hoffman. Its origins are also noted by Reginald Scott in 1584.
