Spots by Michael Ross Mixed Media DOWNLOAD

\n

Die Wirkung: Der Magier erklärt, dass er die Zuschauer unter eine leichte hypnotische Beeinflussung stellen und eine optische Täuschung in Form eines Karten mit vier Seiten demonstrieren wird. Er zeigt zunächst ein großes Domino-ähnliches Kartenstück an: Ein Punkt auf einer Seite, vier auf der anderen, dann drei auf der dritten und sechs auf der vierten! Dies wird zweimal wiederholt, bevor der Magier die psychologischen und manuellen Manipulationen erklärt, die das Illusion von einem vierseitigen Kartenstück erzeugen. Aufgrund der Art, wie das Kartenstück gehalten wird, werden die Punkte entweder durch die Finger verdeckt oder angezeigt, und die Zuschauer erschaffen die Illusion eines vierseitigen Kartenstücks. Dann wird gezeigt, dass diese Täuschungen Realität geworden sind, als Punkte plötzlich magisch auf jeder Drehung des Kartenstücks erscheinen. Schließlich füllt eine letzte Drehung das Kartenstück mit weißen Punkten, bringend die Routine (und den hypnotischen Befehl) zu einem beeindruckenden Abschluss!

\n

SPOTS by Michael Ross - Produced by Bill Abbott Magic*

\n"When I was 14 years old I saw Michael Ross perform at the anniversary party of a local magic shop here in Toronto. One of the pieces he performed was his original presentation and handling for the spot card that baffled me completely. Even though I had a version of the same prop at home, Michael seemed to make the spots appear like magic and more incredibly with audience members on all sides of him! I am so proud to offer Michael's unparalleled routine. I have added this routine to my show and now you can too."
- Bill Abbott

\n\nThe Effect
\nThe performer explains that he will place the audience under a mild hypnotic spell and demonstrate an optical illusion in the form of a card with four(?) sides. True to form the magician proceeds to show a large domino-like card. One spot on one side, four on the other, then three on the third(?) side and six (?) on the other! This is shown two more times and then the performer explains the psychological and manual manipulation that creates the illusion of a four sided card. Due to the way the card is held the spots are either displayed or covered by the fingers and the minds of the audience create the illusion of a four sided card. Then things get strange when the performer shows that the illusions have become a reality and spots start magically appearing at every turn of the card. Finally in one final turn of the card, it is suddenly filled with white dots bringing the routine (and hypnotic spell!) to a mind blowing conclusion!

\n\nAn Introduction
\nThe spot card has been an unsung standard in the repertoire of many professional performers, including magic superstar David Copperfield. Michael Ross has developed the perfect fusion of elegant technique and engaging performance unlike any other spot card routine.
