Devious Volume 1 by Michael Close and L&L Publishing - DVD

\n

Es sind zwölf Jahre vergangen, seit Michael Close irgendein Material auf DVD veröffentlicht hat. Seine letzte Sammlung - The Ultimate Workers - wurde für seine Qualität und die Vollständigkeit der Anweisungen gelobt. Diese Rituale definierten das Wort "Worker". Nun ist Michael zurück, und sein Ziel bleibt das gleiche: Unterhaltung und tiefes Verblüffung bei jedem Publikum, sei es Zuschauer oder Magier. Sie werden lachen, verblüfft sein und sagen, dass der Kerl wirklich devious ist.

\n

Michael lebt und arbeitet seit zehn Jahren in Las Vegas, einer Stadt, wo ein Kartenspiel eine alltägliche Sache ist. Auf diesem zweibandigen DVD-Set konzentriert sich Michael auf Kartenmagie mit Ritualen für formelle Veranstaltungen, Spaziergänge, informelle Performances und besondere Momente, in denen Sie Ihren magischen Freunden das Denken rauben wollen. Wie immer führt Michael seine Erklärungen weit über den "Wie" jeder Trick in den "Warum" jedes Rituals hinaus. Ein großer Teil zusätzlicher Informationen wird ebenfalls vermittelt.

Originale englische Beschreibung

It has been a dozen years since Michael Close has released any material on DVD. His last collection - The Ultimate Workers - was lauded for both its quality of material and its thoroughness of instruction. These were the routines that defined the word "worker."

Well, Michael is back, and his goal remains the same: to entertain and profoundly fool everyone he performs for, whether they are laymen or magicians. You'll laugh, you'll be amazed, and when you find out how these routines work you'll say, "Man, that guy is devious."

For the past decade, Michael has been living and working in Las Vegas, a town where a deck of cards is a commonplace object. On this two-disc DVD set, Michael focuses on card magic, with routines suitable for formal settings, strolling, casual performances, and those special times when you want to crush the brains of your magic buddies. As before, Michael's explanations take you far beyond the "how" of each trick into discussions of the "why" of each routine. A large amount of supplemental information is also imparted.

So, sit back, relax, and get ready to have a great time. Getting fooled was never so much fun.
