A true Magician / Intellectual, Michael Ammar takes you through all his routines
using the latest findings in brain research and sports training techniques that
will make learning the fundamentals easier than ever.
Volume One - The Floating Bill
Float a borrowed bill at the right time and people will talk about you for
the rest of their lives. Michael walks you step-by-step through the Floating
Bill as he performed it on The Tonight Show. You'll learn how to prepare the
gimmick, how to load the bill onto and off the gimmick without breaking it, how
to escalate the effect in the mind of the spectator, how to end with the
spectator unwrapping the bill, and how to remain constantly hooked up using the
invisible Elastic Gimmick. Also featuring John Cornelius' The Coin That Falls
Up, The Coin Through Glass Top Table, the Coin Through Swinging Glass Door, and
John's beautiful Visual Retention Coin Pass.
Volume Two - Impromptu Rubber Band Magic
Impromptu Rubber Band Magic is worth its weight in gold to the performing
magician. Practical for the casual performer, captivating for the trade
show performer, and absolutely perfect for the professional magician who
wants to retain their performance credibility in social situations. Including
The Crazy Man's Handcuffs, Dan Harlan's Traveling Cash, and The Broken
and Restored Rubber Band-simple, yet stunning effects. You'll see all three
effects performed in the ultimate challenge situation: surrounded, in the
middle of a swimming pool! Then each technique is carefully explained,
along with the performance philosophies that make each effect come across
as real magic.
Volume three - The Invisible Bill Switch
The Invisible Bill Switch is one of the most demanding techniques available
to the modern conjuror. Once mastered, it enables you to change $1 bills into
$100 bills, turn money inside out, and much more. But as phenomenal as some of
these effects sound, they only look like magic if you use the right techniques.
With the finesse and performing philosophy taught here by Ammar, you will be
able to switch one bill for another undetected, using the folding sequence
developed by Mike Kozlowski. Also featuring John Cornelius performing his
five-minute Borrowed Bill Routine at the Magic Castle.
Volume four
Learning Roll Over Aces can convince an audience you have a supernatural
level of skill with a deck of cards. Here you'll learn everything-the full
handling, thinking, theatrics and presentation that Michael Ammar has been
performing for over 25 years. "The Tonight Show," "World's Greatest Magic," "The
International Magic Awards" and televised specials around the world give this
routine a pedigree unequaled in card magic.
What distinguishes this
signature piece is the sculpting of a theatrically sound presentation for
maximum impact. Viewers will believe you really can stack all four Royal Flushes
in exactly 30 seconds, and they'll cheer as you reveal what you've done.
Possibly no other effect in card magic can convey as much to an audience, in as
compelling a way, as Derek Dingle's Roll Over Aces.
Super Practice
Sessions These sessions are original to "Classic Renditions," with
over-the-shoulder, close-up reviews of the techniques and routines. No more
guessing about how something should look, or wondering about the rhythm or
timing. These sessions provide the quickest, easiest, and most effective method
possible for mastery of this material!
Marked for Life!
John
Cornelius-the only American ever to win world magic titles in two different
categories-developed one of the most commercial effects with four cards of the
last twenty years. Numerous performances on talk shows and televised magic
specials have proven the commercial value of this entertaining, yet astonishing
routine. Many full-time professionals consider this to be their favorite
in-the-hands routine for walk-around performances.
