Jean Pierre Vallarino – The Prize Winning Magic

The 1991 FISM gold-medal winning act of Jean-Pierre Vallarino， ‘Champagne.’ More recently， one may have caught Vallarino on the World’s Greatest Magic television show performing his exquisite manipulation act done close up. Watching Vallarino is like watching a ballet of the hands. This may be the most important thing the viewer can take from this video – the beauty and importance of carefully choreographing your actions and hand movements. Vallarino focuses his close-up ballet on cards， coins， and champagne glasses which are produced along the way.

Finally， Vallarino focuses on a deck of cards with a double production of two glasses of champagne to end his act. Included are a couple of deceptive card controls.

This video was originally shot in 1994 by Videonics and has been digitized for re-release. Vallarino’s explanations are in French but are very clear and well translated into English.

Vallarino teaches an important lesson in elegance and choreography of the hands and props. Here is a chance to learn some lessons that will make your magic better no matter what your style while enjoying the gold medal award-winning close-up act of Jean-Pierre Vallarino.
