find out more | | Omega Mutation (3 DVD Set) by Cameron Francis  £49.00 27 real-world effects from the hottest magic newcomer in years in a 3 disc box set that will blow you away! Almost 5 hours of practical, mind-blowing close-up magic! Featuring exclusive music from Slaves To Gravity, Johnny Panic, Standing Dead Centre, Andrew Potterton and John Barr! The Story: October 18th 2007, 2.08pm. Distress calls are received at Heathrow Airport from an inbound 'Boeing 747' from Florida. The pilot, three crew and twelve passengers have been struck down by a mystery illness. By the time the plane lands, 7 people are dead. Only one man, an American citizen named Cameron Francis, disembarks the aircraft without showing any symptoms of the deadly bug. He is immediately arrested and quarantined in a secret location where he remains completely oblivious to the chaos that is unfolding as the mystery virus sweeps the UK.
Interrogations of the suspect have revealed nothing. Francis refuses to admit any connection to the vicious and deadly strain now dubbed the Omega Mutation by leading scientist's frantically working on an antidote. Francis is either an unwitting participant in a deadly game, or a criminal mastermind of heroic proportions. Either way, his story is sketchy. Claiming to be a close up magician, he carries with him a small attaché case filled with cards, coins and other magical paraphernalia. Needless to say, his attachment to this questionable practice only serves to raise suspicion of his involvement in what could be the single most disastrous event that the world has ever known!
Will the deadly virus be stopped? Will Cameron ever convince his captors of his innocence? Will the guards ever grow tired of his card tricks? Will Cameron ever escape? Find out in CAMERON FRANCIS - THE OMEGA MUTATION! Disc 1 Alpha ** INFECTION **

find out more | | Sankey XL  £16.00 XL- The incredible card illusion that BECOMES REAL!
The spectator shuffles the pack, touches any card and the selected card is closely examined. You remove two Jokers from your pocket and both Jokers are also examined. The selected card is slowly sandwiched between the two Jokers and that's when some VERY strange stuff starts to happen. First, one end of the face up selection VISIBLY STRETCHES! Then the other end VISIBLY STRETCHES! For the jaw-dropping climax the two Jokers and the STILL STRETCHED selected card are all handed out to be thoroughly examined! You have turned the selected card into an honest-to-goodness holy relic! Comes complete with extremely cool gimmicks for both red and blue Bicycle decks plus an exciting instructional DVD featuring 8 killer handlings including "The Classic Handling," "Stand-Up Stretch," "Spanish Inquisition," "Guerilla Warfare," "Not A Levitation," "Seated Stretch," "Don't Blink," "In Their Own Hands" and the "Holy Relic: Bonus Handling!"
find out more | | Casanova Concept by Steve Haynes - DVD  £18.00 Steve Haynes has tweaked and developed this closely guarded secret for 17 YEARS! Now, it can be yours! The Casanova Concept is an easy to apply principle that will allow you to perform bona-fide miracles with both playing cards and business cards. It's simple and straightforward, requires the minimum of sleight of hand and will go straight into your repertoire. This is NOT a trick; it's a principle that can be applied to hundreds of routines.
Featured on this DVD:
Stroller Controller - A freely selected card is signed front and back, and then lost in the deck. You cleanly reach into your pocket and withdraw their card, showing that you had it BEFORE they even signed it!
Thru & Through - A signed Card Thru Window with a FACE UP, SIGNED selection!
Rip Trip - A signed business card is torn but miraculously restores itself!
Homing On Easy Street - A signed card disappears from the deck and appears in your pocket. TWICE! This is easy-peasy!
And, Steve Haynes' signature piece - the Casanova Closer...
Your spectator selects two cards and SIGNS them both. One is placed in their own wallet (or pocket). The other is lost in the deck. Within seconds you open your own wallet to reveal the signed selection which was apparently lost in the deck.
As your spectator is still reeling, you offer to repeat the effect. You re-open your wallet (which was empty only moments ago) and slowly withdraw a face-down card. Your spectator's eyes are popping out of their head - 'How did that signed selection get back into your wallet'?
It didn't. It's the OTHER signed card! The one that should have been in the spectators' wallet. And when they look in their pocket they find the first signed card! Then they faint!
BOTH CARDS ARE GENUINELY SIGNED BY THE SPECTATOR AND YOU NEVER TOUCH THE SPECTATOR'S WALLET!
NOTE: The Casanova Closer utilises a gimmicked wallet (not supplied). But, this is just one way to employ the Casanova Concept. The DVD also features a second method using nothing but a deck of cards and an ungimmicked wallet!
