Sleight of Dave by David Williamson
In this DVD, you get to see one of magic’s finest practitioners AT THE HEIGHT of his creative development. David performs and explains routines that were, at the time of filming, unprecedented in style and form. Today they are as relevant and useful and amazing as they were when they were filmed, in the early 90s. We grew up watching this DVD and the sequel, and we return to them again and again for inspiration and fun. Dave’s hilarious personality comes through very clearly here, and he is just fun to watch. The highlight for us is “Torn and Restored Transpo,” one of the most commercial routines for strolling performers to come about in the last century!

This is the sequel to Sleight of Dave, and here we’ll just point out something very important about David Williamson. He’s known for his zany comedy, which can sometimes outshine his magic. But in these early DVDs you get a very clear glimpse at both the technical precision we works in (he has one of the finest touches with a pack of cards and coins you will EVER see) and his creative genius. These are “must have” DVDs that you’ll be PROUD to display on your shelf, and eager to watch over and over again.
