My love of the work of Eric Mason continues with a teach-in on his approach to the Ring Flight effect, it's unlike any ring flight you know. From there I'll tip some new ideas and handlings that have sprung from Eric's original concept. This is such a strong routine, and watch to the very end fo...

One of the fastest, cleanest and most practical methods for Bill in Cigarette, thanks to the clever Douglas Francis :)

Close-up or Stand Up, minimal prep, a tiny gimmick and you're set! Two presentation ideas by SV.

This is good stuff people!

A discovery from Steve's kids applied to thimbles breathes new life into an ancient trick. So many fun possibilities with this prop.

Oh and here's the link to Fred Keating performing the thimbles.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW2jQP0557E

Martin Gardner (here he is again!) had a wonderfully visual cigarette penetration using a hanky, seems to good not too add to your CLOTH routine

All routines need flow and bits of business, spicy little nuggets that keep the entertainment and amazement afloat between the bigger miracles, here's a few just for you.

Steve takes a classic Jardine Ellis effect and breaks down the best method. Also adding ideas for getting the most effect and power out of this simple, surprising miracle.

Real Video of Dick describing it and a little follow up of my own. These videos are fascinating because, even though he is clearly past his prime at this point, we can see the flashes of brilliance that made him such a great street performer. And I’ve never seen this idea before.

I’m a big fan of the Glass of water production from a bag, be it made of paper or cloth, it’s always a stunner. After being totally surprised by the Charlie Miller handling - you can see him perform it here at the wonderful Magicana website -

The Glass of Water Production From Under The Hat, teach-in continues with handlings used by all the classic street performers of long ago. Moments and techniques and tips from Percy Press, Dick Turpin and Fred Culpitt and more have found their way into this routine.

The beginning of a full on, in depth investigation of the classic 'glass of water production from a hat' trick. Starting with vintage footage of the great street magician Dick Turpin teaching his method... including his double topit load.

Later on in MOTG we will add variations and new ideas...

Please watch the previous teach-in video of Dick Turpin actually teaching his Turnip under the hat routine, and then watch this, why? Because the old footage barely scratched the surface.

Within this expanded lesson I take you, in depth, into Dick Turpin's FULL routine, this contains every fu...

Expanding the NO COVER routine by adding ideas for comedy and fun and Chanin's brilliant little technique :)

No Topit, No cover, No front pocket NO PROBLEM! Sometimes when you want to produce a glass of water from a hat you just don’t have any of the necessary ‘stuff’ with you. Here is a handling that is not only good to know in an emergency but allows you to produce the glass of water on the table, wit...

Want to produce a glass of water without using your pockets, topits, stretching out your waistband or breaking your rubber cover?

Then NO COVER is for you.

I’ll teach it and then later this month I’ll give you a bunch of additions so you can work out your own personal routine.

I've long been fascinated with this effect of Oswald Rae's, and my inability to create a decent presentation for it.

Here, in this lesson, I'll show you my 'work in progress' presentation and how I came up with it, I'll also show you some new handling ideas for the trick (I don't think anyon...

THE BEST DAMN COLOR CHANGING SILK ROUTINE. This is my handling for the classic Sucker Color Changing Silk - very proud of this natural handling, and the beginning of an in-depth look at this effect. Alone, worth the price of admission.

Want the perfect cut and restored string trick?

Want something where the magic happens in the spectators own hands?

Want something where nothing is added or stolen, so there is literally nothing to catch and everything can be examined?

This classic effect is considered by many to be the...

Flipping Your Lid, my NON cigarette version of Douglas Francis’ CIG-A-BILL. (I’ll put that up alongside this, so you can see the inspiration, just in case you haven’t got to that yet, or passed over it because Cig-A-Bill used a cigarette).

Flipping Your Lid, has a built in surprise presentatio...
