Descriptif
original anglais :
People
always ask magicians if they're banned from casinos or exclaim that
they wouldn't want to play cards with the performer. To laypeople,
having an advantage at gambling and games of chance is an alluring idea
and a magician demonstrating his skill usually brings this enticing
image to the fore.
On this DVD, you'll meet seven magicians who perform and teach great
commercial magic effects that combine the worlds of conjuring and
gambling. Johnny Thompson is first with his version of Dai Vernon's
classic Poker Deal demonstration, followed by John Mendoza, who
demonstrates Three Card Monte much like you'd see it today on the
streets of major cities. Michael Ammar is next with Hornswaggled, a
time-honored and very entertaining short-change routine while Dan
Harlan teaches a trio of effects based on an elementary card magic
principle that still manages to fool. Harry Lorayne performs and
teaches the 10-Card Poker Deal straight out of one of his classic books
while Scotty York weaves a tale with a handful of money that will leave
any audience rubbing their eyes. Finally, you'll be treated to a short
film created by gambling expert and true sleight of hand legend Ross
Bertram, demonstrating his unsurpassed skill with cards, dice, and
shells.
Tricks with a gambling theme have built-in spectator interest and you'd
be hard-pressed to find better examples of this genre of magic than the
performers and their creations you'll find presented here.
