Discover the art of card magic with this exclusive DVD featuring the legendary close-up bar magician, J. C. Wagner. You’ll learn a variety of incredible effects that are sure to impress both magicians and laypeople alike.
Stand-Up Triumph
This walkaround version of the classic effect is designed to astonish audiences. After a spectator selects a card, the deck is shuffled face up and face down. With a snap of the fingers, all cards align in one direction, except for the chosen card! Just before the finale, the deck is spread to reveal the captivating face-up/face-down mix. No table is needed—perfect for impromptu performances!
The Lie Detector
Enjoy J. C. Wagner’s entertaining twist on the timeless Martin Gardner effect, guaranteed to engage your audience.
Assembly – With a Difference
This slow-motion Ace assembly will stump even the most experienced magicians. The routine includes a comprehensive explanation of the invaluable Gambler’s Cop move.
Factory Misprints
A standout packet printing effect that magicians are raving about! Four blank cards are displayed, and one by one, faces and backs magically appear. The magician then performs an ultra-clean version of Dr. Daley’s Last Trick, where two cards transpose with the others. In a stunning conclusion, all faces and backs vanish, leaving four blank cards once again!
Royal Detectives
This visually striking routine features a card that disappears between two red Kings, only to reappear reversed in the center of the deck, trapped between the other Kings! J. C. Wagner shares three essential principles every card magician should master: The Vernon Transfer, Larry Jenning’s Flop Move, and Paul Harris’s Count Subtlety.
As a special treat, enjoy a full performance of Wagner’s Sponge Rabbits, a crowd favorite that he claims outshines all other tricks in his repertoire. This is a must-learn effect to elevate your act!
Plus a Special Bonus!
J. C. Wagner includes a complete explanation of the modern classic Card Under Glass, featuring all the nuances, history, and tips. This section alone is worth the price of admission!
Additionally, you’ll receive a mini-lecture on Outs and Estimation related to J. C. Wagner’s Think of a Card, where any spectator simply thinks of a card, and the performer reveals it! This DVD is perfect for both commercial entertainers and dedicated card magicians.
