This DVD will NOT teach you how to put together funny routines or how to be entertaining. What it will teach you are some advanced visual sleights for spongeballs that you can use to put together an original act.
Included are pre-made routines that you can modify for your own use as well as a variety of new sleights for spongeballs. They require serious practice and deliver amazing results. These sleights are versatile and visually stunning when given the care and attention they require.
Overview
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.

Cody worked restaurants for more than 10 years. During that time he developed what he considers to be the "perfect opener" for the table hopping magician.
One of the challenges of this venue is "the approach". Just how do you approach a group of people in a restaurant? Cody realized that the opening effect must be quick, visual, and absolutely amazing!
So what is it? Basically...
The magician approaches a group at a restaurant and borrows a spoon from the table (wink / wink). The spoon is held at the fingertips and slowly (and visually) it begins to bend. Once the spoon is bent almost in half it is handed out for complete examination. The cool part is that the bent spoon matches all the other spoons on the table.
First, in a live performance for lay people, close up and personal, you will see a full time pro Cody Fisher perform the powerful magic, that has won him awards worldwide. Including the very prestigious Texas Association of Magicians award for best close-up magic.
Each of these effects have been honed over countless performances, into the strong magic pieces they are now. Cody tips everything, including all of the gags and bits of business, that make these outstanding tricks into the strong pieces of magical entertainment, that they are.
If you have read Cody's column, for which he was voted "Columnist of the Year," you will know him to be knowledgeable and creative magician and an excellent teacher. It's no surprise that he is the same in person. You will find, he explains his practical, mind-blowing magic clearly and in detail. This is not only professional magic that will make you money, but killer, reputation making for real world situation.

World XCM Champions DVD 2 Disc Set Review
Packaging - Well the package is simple and elegant. It doesn’t have all the flashy annoying colors trying to get your attention. It is just enough for you to know that there is something special inside.
Description - This DVD is a picture perfect film of showmanship. The video is well put together and gets right to the point. They perform the move several times then teach it. The teaching, as you would expect from anything Handlordz puts out, is perfect. It has good camera angles and excellent explanation. If anyone was going to learn these XCM moves this would be the best way to do it.
Disc 1
This disc features three options and they are right to the point. J.S. Lin, Max Vlassenko, and Credits/Bloopers. Both J.S. and Max are excellent at what they do. They also teach in a skillful and professional manner throughout the DVD. The credits/bloopers section is great. It basically shows that even the best in the world make mistakes, but they have fun doing it.
Disc 2
This disc is all Max Vlassenko.
Here are the options: Fans, Juggling, L-cuts, Pressure cuts, Shuffles, and Miscellaneous. This is a no brainer what’s here. If you want to be the best you have to learn from the best.
There are also several surprise visits from The Flourishman Jerry Cestkowski. Not only is he a master in the art, but he is hilarious. The masterful hands of Handlordz founder De'vo vom Schattenreich are also working their magic as they should.

If you have the chance to have USPC/Ellusionist make you anything you want - you take it. You put all the ingenuity you can into the design of the cards. You take the process that made "Stigmata" and "Fraud" what they are today, and apply it to playing cards.
UltraGaff is a deck of specialized playing cards, 'gaffed' cards, that are meant to fit in quietly with a normal deck of Bicycle playing cards. On this page you can purchase the DVD training that allows you to perform the exact tricks that Danny and Wayne created for each of the cards in the UltraGaff Deck.
There are 3 volumes, all over an hour long. (Vol-3 is one hour and forty minutes). Each volume stands alone, or can be purchased in a complete set of 3. The volumes progress in difficulty, but you can find easy material in each volume as well. Many sleights are taught in the videos and there is an abundance of rare teaching from these two masters; subtleties, tricks of the trade, ways to get in and out of a routine with gaffs --- ETC.

If "This is Mentalism" was geared toward those just getting into a mix of magic and mentalism, then "This is Mentalism 2" is geared toward more serious workers. Although everything is simple to learn, there are 9 killer effects using ingenious methods, patterns, psychology and secrets that have been staring right at us. If you know nothing about Mentalism, this is a gold mine. If you are a seasoned magician, This is Mentalism 2 has some some surprises for you.
From framing and strategy to choreography and clever set ups, we've revamped a couple classic ideas and shared some brand new ideas directly from Rich Ferguson's A-list material - never revealed before. Visions and Psychometry Prediction are worth the price alone.
VISIONS
Predict and draw two freely thought of items by random spectators.
• 100% impromptu, Instant reset/No reset required.
• Packs down small as you only need two business cards and a pen.
• Numerous tips and advanced version taught.
• Rich's favorite impromptu mind reading effect.
• Worth the DVD by itself. Simple and direct… as close to real mind reading you will ever get.
PSYCHOMETRY PREDICTION
Three freely chosen predictions are written and placed into envelopes. The performer senses which envelope belongs to which spectator then predicts each content correctly.
• Uses ingenious set ups, choreography and psychology - no peeking through envelopes.
• Uses simple envelopes. No need for expensive gimmicks.
• Takes only a few seconds to set up.
• The spectator inserts their prediction and seals envelope.
• Looks like real mind reading.
UNDERCOVER
Using a book, guess any freely chosen word or picture written or drawn by spectator.
• Instant reset and can be repeated.
• Takes seconds to set up for multiple uses.
• Foolproof and powerfully simple.
• You do not touch, tear or look at their drawing which they keep and hide from view.
HIDDEN KEY
Know any freely chosen word from a book! One of Rich's favorite old time secrets to creating custom book tests without any memorization or buying expensive gimmicks.
• Lets you customize and use books that fit your act or theme.
• A second method included.
• No reset required.
UNWRITTEN
Discover chosen words, pictures or ads from borrowed magazines or newspapers. Rich has used this technique on major live television appearances.
• 100% impromptu.
• Plays big or small.
• Easy, self working with only seconds of set up.
• Gimmick will last forever.
• Force anything.
WAY OUT OF THIS WORLD
One of the very first concepts Rich ever learned in magic which he immediately altered nearly 15 years ago. Cards are placed facedown anywhere based on matching the color of four aces. You call them out before the spectator drops the card down! Cards are shown and verified along the way. In the end, all the cards match perfectly. Plays big to crowds at parties as everyone gets a chance to get involved.
• This version kills and is 100% impromptu.
• Play big or small.
• 100% impromptu with no reset.
• Highly memorable by clients.
RECOUNT
Being that his name is "RICH", he's dabbled with a ton of money effects. This is one of his favorite mind reading or body language effects using a stack of bills. The serial numbers are verified to be different. The bills are mixed and any bill is chosen from the stack. You are able to read exactly what the numbers and letter are every time while all the bills are out of sight! This uses an ingenious idea that already exists in bills plus another layer with numbers and patterns Rich discovered years ago..
• There is no altering of bills or use of gimmicks.
• Perfect to use as a lie detection test, body language demonstration or as pure mind reading.
• Instant reset once bills are acquired or purchased - use forever.
LIE TO ME
Impromptu mind reading, psychometry effect or lie detector test effect using small, borrowed objects. Objects are mixed and hidden in a bag, bucket or hat. Unknown to the performer, the items are taken and hidden in the hands of several spectators. The performer is able to accurately tell who does and does not have the special item. One of the best, fool proof effects that allows you to learn and practice legitimate tells as you perform it. Some advanced versions are revealed during the teachings.
• Plays big while very easy to do.
• 100 impromptu.
• Can use all borrowed items, chips or coins.
• No reset required.
WIREGRAM EXTREME
Using a wire as a divining rod, you let a spectator chose any FACE DOWN card. The face down card is removed and securely held by the spectator. The wire begins to undulate while held at the magicians finger tips. Then fire is used to cause the wire to make a prediction. The card then is revealed to match!
• Two effects in one.
• Uses a standard deck of cards with 5 second set up.
• Full effect uses "wiregram" wire available from Ellusionist
