World's Greatest Magic: The Secrets of Packet Tricks Vol. 1 - DVD

\n

Es wird oft angenommen, dass die Kartentricks unter dem Begriff Paket-Tricks, also Tricks mit einer kleinen Anzahl von Karten anstelle des ganzen Decks, ein relativ neuer Bestandteil der Geschichte des Zauberens sind. Dies ist jedoch nicht der Fall. Während es wahr ist, dass Paket-Tricks in den 1960er und 70er Jahren im Zaubererkreis extrem beliebt wurden (Jon Racherbaumer nannte sogar die Begriff Paketeier für Magiker, die sich auf diese Typen von Tricks spezialisierten), gibt es Effekte mit einer kleinen Anzahl von Karten bereits seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl viele den Begriff Paket-Trick verächtlich verwenden, ist die Wahrheit, dass, wenn sie gut konzipiert und durchgeführt werden, sie oft noch beeindruckender sind als Effekte mit dem ganzen Deck von Karten. Unterbeweise nicht das Potenzial der Paket-Tricks! Arme dich mit nur einer kleinen Anzahl von Karten und den Weisheiten, die du auf diesem DVD erlangst, und du wirst ein Paketeier in kürzester Zeit!

\n
• Larry Jennings beginnt mit einem Trick, der nur drei Karten verwendet, aber eine beeindruckende visuelle Illusion eines Kartenmusters, das sich ungläubig durch die anderen beiden Karten schmilzt, erzeugt.
\n
• Martin Nash folgt mit einem Vier-Karten-Trick, bei dem zwei Könige und zwei Buben in vier Könige und dann in vier Aale umwandeln - bis sie plötzlich zu vier Assen werden!
\n
• Michael Close zeigt vier blau-bekantete Jokers, die sich nacheinander rot-bekantet ändern und dann sofort wieder ihre ursprüngliche blau-bekantete Form annehmen.
\n
• Michael Ammar führt und erklärt einen brillanten Betrug mit drei blanken Karten und einem Ass - oder so wirkt es zumindest.
\n
• Der legendäre Alex Elmsley demonstriert den Trick (und die Fingerspitzenkunst) der möglicherweise das moderne Paket-Tricks-Ära eingeleitet hat, während Bill Malone einige Assen verändert und sie in etwas vollkommen anderes verwandelt.
\n
• John Guastaferro kombiniert zwei wunderbare Effekte, die die besten Merkmale des Hofzinser-Vier-Ass-Problems und Paul Harris' Reset vereinen. Darwin Ortiz schließt den Band mit seiner Version von Peters klassischem Ass-Transposition-Trick.

It seems to be commonly believed that the genre of card magic known as packet tricks - that is, card tricks that use a small number of cards rather than the entire deck - are a relatively recent invention in the history of conjuring but this is not the case. While it's true that packet tricks became insanely popular in the magic community of the 1960s and 70s (Jon Racherbaumer even coined the word "packeteer" to describe magicians who specialized in these types of tricks), effects with a small number of cards date back to the late 1800s. Though many use the term "packet trick" disparagingly, the truth is that, if well-conceived and performed, they can often be more astounding than effects performed with an entire deck of cards. Don't underestimate the power of the packet! Armed with just a small bunch of cards and the wisdom gleaned from the masters on this DVD, you'll be a "packeteer" in no time!

On Volume 1, you'll meet a number of magicians performing and explaining small-packet card magic that any close-up performer would be proud to add to their repertoire. Larry Jennings starts with a trick that uses only three cards yet produces a remarkable visual illusion of one of the cards melting effortlessly through the other two. Martin Nash follows with a four-card trick where two Queens and two Jacks turn into four Queens and then four Jacks - that is, until they finally change into four Aces! Then, Michael Close shows off four blue-backed Jokers that turn red-backed one at a time and then instantly return to their original blue-backed condition while Michael Ammar performs and teaches a brilliant swindle with three blank-faced cards and an Ace - or so it appears. Next, the legendary Alex Elmsley offers a demonstration of the trick (and the sleight) that arguably started the modern packet trick era while Bill Malone twists some Aces and then turns them into something totally different. John Guastaferro combines two wonderful effects that combine the best features of the Hofzinser Four-Ace Problem and Paul Harris' Reset while Darwin Ortiz rounds out the volume with his version of Peter Kane's classic Ace transposition trick.
