Close-up Magic DVDs

Jay Sankey has been creating original and exciting applications with Mike Kozlowski's bill switch for years, and now here in one amazing volume Jay includes all his classic bill switch effects along with many other routines he is revealing for the very first time!



A mind-blowing collection of 30 incredible magic and mentalist effects for close-up, stand-up, walk around and even stage performers including restorations, vanishes, appearances, transformations, divinations, penetrations, transportations and more! All using the bill switch!



Jay teaches the switch from three different camera angles so learning the technique has never been easier. Jay also goes into great detail on such important subjects as preparing the billets, practicing the switch and executing the switch in different performance settings.



Learn how to use the switch to bend spoons, color illustrations from a children's book, cause signatures to transpose, push words through the middle of a bill, create wrinkles in drawing of a pair of pants, tear and restore a borrowed and signed bill, move a hole into a bulls eye, bring an image in a photograph to life, cause an illustration of a flower to gain a scent, find three selected cards, and even burst the drawing of a balloon complete with sound effect!

If you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This benchmark collection features just about all of magic’s most enduring and classic effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for some of magic’s classics. Linking rings, sponge balls, metal bending, cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing knives, and many, many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific DVD reference set. Each volume covers a specific subject and features new, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic.

In this volume, you'll find amazing magic that can be performed with ordinary finger rings. Almost everybody wears a ring of some kind and because of the value people place on their jewelry, magic with finger rings assures immediate spectator interest. Perform miracles with a borrowed ring and little else — perhaps a shoelace or a wand — and, of course, the knowledge you’ll obtain from the expert performers gathered on this DVD.

From entire routines by creators like Daryl, Mark Leveridge, Dan Fleshman and other artists to quick visual stunners from Gregory Wilson and Al Schneider—and a whole lot more in between — you’ll be performing world-class finger ring magic in no time.

Paper clips, string, napkins, pencils. These are all ordinary objects found in every household. However, it's precisely their familiarity that makes it so impactful when a magician creates an apparent miracle with them.

On this volume, some of the best performers in the world of magic present their favorite tricks with common objects. Dan Harlan, for example, will show you how to present the classic Professor's Nightmare, not with rope, but with ordinary business cards and also how to magically tear open and then reseal a pack of cigarettes. Dan Harlan returns later to perform and teach Starcle, his neo-classic paper napkin effect. Bill Malone presents a wonderful trick with an ordinary book of matches that he learned from the legendary Michael Skinner and Johnny Thompson demonstrates a classic of magic with nothing more than sugar cubes. David Regal and Banachek turn in some great mentalism with business cards while Tom Mullica performs his version of David Hoy's impromptu book test. Tom Mullica is back later with a great party stunt that will leave one spectator breathless and everyone else breathless with laughter. Jay Sankey has some typically wacky effects with items easily found in any home or office while Joshua Jay accurately predicts a random spectator's height with an ordinary tape measure.

Rounding out the package, Joe Rindfleisch shows off his wonderful broken and restored rubber band effect, Fielding West has a phenomenal finger ring vanish, and Jeff Sheridan demonstrates one of his eye-popping creations, a cut and restored string effect that is guaranteed to fool even knowledgeable magicians.
