Michael Ammar
Classic Renditions DVD
Volumes 1-4



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.
