Mark Leveridge - The Magic of Mark Leveridge ISO VOL 1

Overview

There can be no doubt that magic with money has a great appeal to lay audiences, and on this DVD I perform and explain a wide range of routines using coins and bank notes. While some sleight of hand is, on occasions, required, there is nothing very difficult here. I prefer to reduce the handling to sensible, performable levels rather than simply include clever moves for the sake of it, and so viewers should find all of the material revealed here accessible and fun to perform.

Here is a rundown of the contents of the MONEY MAGIC DVD...

1. PAPER MONEY - the instant transformation of a piece of blank paper into a real bill. With Mark's version the bill produced in this way can immediately be spent or handed out for examination. No thumbtips required!

2. THE OKITO AND BOSTON BOX ROUTINE - a multi-phase routine using an Okito Box in which a coin jumps in and out of the box, penetrates a deck of cards, then multiplies up to four before finally changing completely into a pile of completely different coins. A top performance piece.

3. BROKE - a beautiful routine which uses a couple of really great 'complete' coin vanishes which leave both your hands genuinely empty and which do not require any special extra gimmicks. Just a few regular coins and a purse required.

4. MAGNETIC ATTRACTION - how about a matrix using four small coins and two BORROWED CREDIT CARDS as covers? No sleights, no extra gimmicks, yet the coins collect one at a time under one card in the corner. A brilliantly simple idea which fools magicians, never mind lay people.

5. TEARAWAY - a small Post-It Note paper is folded round the centre of a BORROWED bill and the centre is then torn right out! The damage can be viewed from all sides and in extreme close up - the bill must be torn. Yet moments later it is completely restored and returned to its owner. No switches.

6. THE DETECTIVE COIN - a marked coin vanishes from a hand held firmly by a spectator and penetrates through a card box and down into the centre of the deck where it ends up lying on the back of a signed card. Clever gimmick makes this very straightforward to do.

7. BEER MONEY - two beer coasters are shown and first one coin, then another, are produced from between them. Then suddenly a large bill appears too. Ingenious method means there is no palming required and no gimmicks to ditch either.

8. THE ROBIN HOOD COINS ACROSS - a carefully constructed coins across routine set to a historical story, in which one at a time three coins magically jump from one purse to another. No shells used, the handling is very natural looking.

9. ATM - a deck and its box become a portable ATM machine. The performer's Mastercard is dropped into the box and moments later real money appears inside too. When the same thing is tried with a spectator's card, it unexpectedly vanishes, only to be found in an unlikely and totally surprising place.
