Of adding fun to parties, delighting coworkers, completely bowling over your friends. Combining a book, instructional DVD, five great props, and a sturdy, handsome case to hold it all, The Complete Magician is made for giving'¬ ;an impressive, all-in-one kit with everything an aspiring magician needs to put on a show. The book is Magic: The Complete Course'¬ ;'¬SFinally, a book that brings the art of magic into the 21st century!'¬ (Rick Merrill, 2006 World Champion of Magic)'¬ ;which combines expertise, full-color photographs, and step-by-step directions for more than 100 amazing tricks. Each trick is broken down into the Effect, the Secret, the Set-up, and, most important, the Performance, with lessons on what to say, how to direct the audience'¬"s attention, where to keep your hands, and more. The DVD demonstrates 35 tricks, showing both how to do them and how to perform them convincingly. And the props are classics: four metal 4-inch linking rings, one Svengali Deck, one Paranormal Deck, one Magic "Pen-etrating" Pen, and one false thumb tip. It's a fantastic value at $39.95. The props alone would retail for over $50. How do we do it? It's magic.
