3 DVD
On these DVDs, Dan presents his showcase routines. For special tables, Dan reaches into his vast repertoire and performs one of these gems. All of them are closers and are capable of astounding even the most jaded audience.
Vol 1
Dan's Rope Routine - A great opening routine featuring elements of the most visual rope and ring & rope magic ever created.
Real-World Multiplying Rabbits - A classic of magic and a favorite of young and old.
Ring and String Flight - A borrowed finger ring almost visibly transforms into the performer's ring, which then penetrates on and off of a length of string in most mysterious ways. The routine comes full circle when the spectator's borrowed ring is found in the performer's key case.
Ace Production - In a dazzling display of skill, the four Aces appear to fly right from the center of a shuffled deck.
Ever Changing Aces - The red Aces change places with the black Aces under extremely fair circumstances. If you blink, you'll miss it!
Bullet For a Cowboy - The Aces all magically change into the Ace of Spades one at a time. For the stunning climax, the cards are turned over and now found to be the Kings.
Four The Easy Way - Two Aces are produced from a shuffled deck. The third Ace is freely selected by a spectator. Another spectator selects one more card, which is found to not be an Ace. The magician makes good by magically turning this final card into the last Ace.
Maxi Twist Twist - A spectator selects a card which is returned to the pack. The four Aces are displayed and each magically turns face down one at a time. The Ace that matches the suit of the selected card turns face up again and then magically turns into the selected card. The other cards are turned face up to reveal that they are no longer Aces but rather, now form a Royal Flush.
Three Card Trick - A spectator counts three cards slowly and fairly into the performer's hand. However, when recounted, a fourth card is found. The extra card is discarded yet there are still four cards. This comedy of errors is repeated several times yet there are always four cards. For the humorous and amazing finish, these cards are shown to be the four Threes.
Momma in My Wallet - A wonderful combination of the classic Card to Wallet with the Red Hot Momma concept. The back of a spectator's signed card changes color. The card is placed on the table and another card is selected. The tabled card turns into the second selection and the signed card is found in the performer's wallet that the spectator has been holding the entire time.
Vol 2
Ace Production - Face-up cards are shuffled into face-down cards yet the Aces are produced in a dramatic way. For the finale, the deck is found to be magically righted.
Oil Slick - A four-card Oil and Water routine that's guaranteed to fool even fast company.
Chameleon Aces and Kings - The four Aces change one at a time into the four Kings right at the performer's fingertips. The Aces are then found one at a time, face up, in four completely different locations in the tabled deck.
Vanishing Aces - The four Aces are placed face up on the top of the deck and are vanished one at a time only to be found in the center of the deck with a previously-named card sandwiched in between them.
PDQ Aces - A magical game of cops and robbers as the Aces, isolated in a card box, collect three free selections that were previously lost in the deck.
Some Prediction - A selected card is signed. Another card is set aside by the performer as a prediction. The signed selection is mixed among the four Aces and vanishes. The prediction card is found to be the signed card!
Magic Cards - Three cards are selected from a blue-backed deck. The performer introduces three red-backed cards emblazoned with the words "Magic Cards." The three Magic Cards are placed onto each selection and amazingly, each turns into a duplicate of that selection. As a kicker, the previously-blue deck is shown to now consist solely of red "Magic Cards."
Twins - Dan's version of the Brother John Hamman classic, complete with a surprising kicker ending.
Sorry You Lose - A gambling routine where the spectator is unable to keep track of two Aces and two Threes. The spectator has one final chance to guess which cards are in the performer's hands but is surprised to find that the cards are now four of a kind!
Flushed Out - Four Queens and an Ace change into a Royal Flush.
Back and Forth Sandwich - Two cards are selected. One card is shuffled back into the deck and the other is tabled between two Kings. The magician waves his hands over the tabled cards. The Kings vanish and are found face up in the deck and sandwiching the other selection.
Freeman Twist / Twilight Zone - A selected card travels back in time as it magically changes places with the performer's card. Traveling further back into time, the face-down deck instantly turns face-up for an eye-popping climax.
Jumbo Prediction - A freely-selected card matches a jumbo card in an envelope previously given to an audience member. A highly-commercial routine with a comical ending.
Vol 3
Close-Up Linking Rings - Dan's version of this stage classic retains every bit of the wonder yet is perfect for all close-up and walk-around venues. Solid steel five-inch rings melt through each other just inches away from the spectators' faces. It looks like real magic - and Dan gives you all the work!
Rolllover Production - Four half dollars are magically produced one at a time by simply turning over a single playing card four times.
Matrix - Dan's three-phase version of the classic coin assembly. Four half dollars assemble under a single playing card. The effect is then repeated but this time, the coins return to their respective, separate positions. For the finale, with just a single card used, the coins assemble and then visibly return to their starting positions.
Coins To Glass - An audience favorite. Coins vanish from the performer's hand and magically appear, one at a time, in a drinking glass.
Crayon Thru .25 - A crayon visibly penetrates though the center of a borrowed quarter. This classic of magic is now able to be performed for all ages!
Cups and Balls - Dan's classic routine featuring the Fleshman Flash - an amazing final load sequence that will have you reaching for the remote control to watch it again!
BONUS! The Chinese Linking Rings - A Close-Up Version - This is the video that accompanied the deluxe mini-rings that Dan marketed several years ago. Watch Dan perform an entire restaurant set for an actual audience, including his version of the Rings. His original explanation for the Ring routine follows. Dan Fleshman has been a professional close-up entertainer for 20 years and performing magic in restaurants has always been at the core of his work. The magic presented here is all in Dan's active, working repertoire and all of it has been tempered in the white-hot fire of real-world performance. This is close-up magic that Dan kills lay audiences with night after night - and now it's yours!
Close-Up Table Magic - Karl Norman
Before Street Magic, before Restaurant Magic and before Walk Around Magic there was Table Magic where a magician would join audiences at their table in a restaurant or bar and entertain them.
Karl Norman has spent more than 50 years as a professional magician and on this DVD he explains the routines he uses when performing close-up table magic. Karl also performed behind the bar at the famed Forks Hotel in Buffalo, New York for more than 25 years and shares the routines he used when working with Eddie Fechter. In addition to learning all the magic on this DVD you will experience Karl's charming, funny and often corny presentations that make him a lovable magician and entertainer.
Routines performed and explained:
The Coin Collection: A copper, silver, brass coin box routine using three coins from different countries that jump from hand to hand, appear in the box, change places with the box and for a finale the box becomes a solid slug of brass.
Whole Hole: A double backed red card with a big hole in it and four double backed blue cards are used for some impossible transpositions and color changes.
The Coin In The Bottle: A half dollar is made to penetrate the center of a bottle that is being held by a spectator. The coin falls out of the bottle just as easily.
The Invisible Sky Hook: A knot tied on a rope is ripped off and hung on an imaginary sky hook. The invisible knot is now plucked from the air and appears back on the rope.
Matchboxes Routine: Karl's routine for the Sympathetic Matchboxes where two boxes act unnaturally when one drawer is closed or opened the drawer in the second box opens and closes on its own. The finale to the routine uses a matchbox with a slit cut through it where a ribbon is threaded and unthreaded through the opening. What makes it impossible is a solid piece of steel that has been in the box the whole time.
The Shrinking Giant: Two red cards a black card are displayed. The black card is placed in between the two red cards as it is seen to grow to twice its length and then twice its width. The routine concludes with the black card shrinking into a miniature card.
Card To The Case: A signed card vanishes from the deck and appears inside a card case that was in full view throughout the routine.
The Card On The Forehead: A card is thought-of and a card is placed on your forehead. Amazingly the card on the forehead turns out to be the thought-of card.
Ring Flight: A borrowed finger ring vanishes under impossible conditions and appears inside a key case.
Change Of A Quarter: Two cards are selected. One is cut into quarters and changes places with the first selected card that is being held by a spectator. The four pieces are gathered and restored to a whole card.
Bill In The Cigarette: A corner is ripped off a borrowed bill and the bill is placed in an envelope. The bill vanishes and appears inside a borrowed cigarette. The previously ripped corner matches perfectly to the bill in the cigarette.
Key Card Routines: Two selected cards are lost in the deck. A spectator names a number from 10-20. You cut that number of cards and find the first card. The second card is found by the spectator. Another card is selected and found in your pocket.
Linking Pins: A quick routine with two safety pins that penetrate each other, move across the length of a handkerchief, penetrate through a handkerchief and finally link to each other.
Card On The Ceiling: Karl's best known routine that is currently being used by most bar magicians. A signed card is lost in the deck. Rubber bands are placed around the deck and the deck is tossed at the ceiling. The deck falls back down but the signed card remains stuck to the ceiling.
The Three Shell Game: The classic gambling game using three metal shells and a pea where the spectators cannot follow where the pea is. The routine builds as the sequences become more impossible and concludes with a surprise ending.
It's The Nuts: Karl's handling to Finn Jonn's brilliant routine where a nut and a bolt separate under impossible conditions.
Torn And Restored Cigarette: A borrowed cigarette is torn in half and restored.
A Meir Yedid Magic product. Produced by Medien Service-Weber. Directed by Mike Porstmann. Original release date: April 2004. Running time: Approximately 1 hour 50 minutes.
