Edward Oschmann LIVE (Penguin LIVE)
“I have personally seen the impact of Ed Oschmann’s card routines at various corporate events over many years. His Visual Transpo to Pocket is one of my favorite effects to perform when I need something quick and powerful! With the variety of his material, I am sure you will find something you will use as well.” – Karl Hein
“Now that you’ve an opportunity to learn from Ed Oschmann, don’t pass it up! Full-time pros don’t lecture all that often because they’re busy working to pay the bills, and Ed is no exception. Ed’s private, corporate, and restaurant clients keep him busy and there’s a reason for it – he knows how to entertain, and his material is devastating. You’re gonna love it!” – Jack Carpenter
“Ed’s lecture is filled with practical magic that is fun to perform, is not technically demanding and that’s very high on the “magical strength meter”. Don’t miss it!” – Mike Powers
“Of course you can count on Ed’s magic to reliably entertain regular folk, but it also intrigues magicians. His knack for presentational twists and handling tweaks produces strong commercial magic that’s also fun to do. Just chatting with him, I got two ideas that I now use in my professional work. I can’t wait to see what’s going to be in this lecture.” – Curtis Kam
What Will He Teach?
Visual Card to Pocket: A selected card visually reappears on top of the deck after being placed in the pocket. This quick and striking effect leaves your audience wanting more!
What’s Yours is Mine: A sandwich trick with a surprising twist. Engaging wordplay keeps the audience laughing until the unexpected climax hits. This effect plays bigger than most in its category.
Pocket Pool: A visually stunning production of an eight ball. A playing card with an eight-ball decal transforms into a real ball, while the card mysteriously reveals a previous selection. Big impact!
Little Kreskin: Two cards are lost in the deck, and a spectator draws a stick-man on a business card. Not only does the stick-man find their cards, but a mysterious message predicts their selections.
Your’s Truly: Ed’s unique take on the Chicago Opener/Red Hot Mama. This humorous routine features a transposition aspect that establishes his character and elicits strong reactions from the audience.
Psychic Fail: An easy-to-perform effect that yields a surprising revelation of a chosen card. Described by David Acer as “a quick, easy card trick with built-in laughs,” it serves as a fantastic walkaround alternative.
As a special bonus for those who purchase this lecture, Ed includes a separate video performance and explanation of “The Poker Players Pickup” (also known as “The Contest”). This routine has garnered rave reviews, with John Bannon calling it the “Best. Party. Trick. Ever. What a great trick!” Michael Weber states, “If Ed teaches nothing more than The Contest, you’ll receive more value than you find in most 2-hour lectures.” Esteemed magicians like Jeff Prace and Tom Dobrowolski also praise this effect. Ed is renowned for his strong, entertaining card magic, and you will appreciate his lecture and this bonus routine.
