INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO FIND!
Alex passed away in 2006. This 2 DVD set is from a lecture and workshop that Alex gave in England during his final few years with us.
It is not often that one is privileged to sit in on a session with one of the truly greats of magic. Bu here you are invited to spend over two hours with a man whose work has been revered for fifty years all over the world and acclaimed by the elite of the art – Vernon, Marlo and scores of others. Alex Elmsley, not in his seventh decade but still bristling with ideas and techniques that have made him a true living legend. This unique experience will inspire and stay with you for the rest of your magic life.
On the Lecture DVD you will see the application of his original thinking in eight effects and some unique moves.
Effects include:
- Power Poker – a spectator chooses his own poker hand but the performer always wins.
- Ten Plus – a version of the classic Ten Card Trick
- Colour Filter – a clever cards through the handkerchief effect
- Oyster Shells – an entertaining ‘marked cards’ routine
- No-Calc – a mathematical card location which involves no calculation!
On the Workshop DVD you are given the opportunity to experience many Elmsley subtleties and his thoughts, not only on a variety of sleights, but also on the magic scene today. Theresa are demonstrations of his famed Christians to Lions and Twisters Flush routines that drew acclaim from Vernon, Marlo, and other giants of the pasteboards.
This two volume set will hold a special place in your magic library and one that you will return to again and again.
