Fantasma Magic February 2008 Newsletter

The David Roth Coin Workshop
Item # 3145 - $100.00
Friday, February 22, 2008 – 7:00 – 9:00 PM

He’s baaack….! Join the incredible, amazing, stupendous, larger than life and shorter than most, David Roth, for an illuminating evening on intermediate sleight of hand with coins. This workshop is a must for anyone serious about improving their coin magic.

David says: “It’s always gratifying to help magicians improve their coin magic.” I tried to get him to say more, but he said he was saving his voice for the lecture.

Coins across routines
Copper/silver routines and moves
Effects with coins in a handkerchief
Okito coin box
Plus coin vanishes, switches, Spellbound moves, and much more!

This workshop is not for the beginner. You should already be able to “classic” palm a coin. You should bring, if possible, coins, a close-up pad, coin boxes and a handkerchief as well as any trick coins you might want to learn to work with. David as many of you might know is one of the nicest guys in magic. He’s also one of the smartest and most knowledgeable. It’s always a joy to see David work, whether it’s performing or lecturing. He is without doubt one of the smoothest coin men in the world and one of the most down to earth “legends” you will ever have the pleasure to meet.
As before, the workshop will be limited to a small group. There will also be certain special discounts as well as gifts for all who attend. The price is $100 per person. A bargain at any price! This event sells out quickly, so please sign up ASAP. Hope to see you on the 22nd!

** Be sure to find David on our new updated Forum section. Feel free to ask David a question or for some advice.

Wipe out is an awesome trick that is so easy to do it should be in every close-up magician’s repertoire. The effect: The magician shows two cards face up in his wallet. He offers the spectator a choice and then removes one of the cards and places it face down on the table. The magician says that he is going to remove all of the printing from the face of this card and cause it to reappear on the other card. The other card is still visible in the open wallet and nothing yet has happened to it. When he turns the card on the table over it is now seen to be blank. The magician or the spectator can now remove the card from the wallet and when that is turned over it has the imprint of the first card on the back! It comes with two Bicycle cards so you can incorporate it into a number of other card routines including an awesome Three Card Monte routine. Comes with complete instructions.

Just in! I scream, you scream and your audience will be screaming for more with these high quality sponge props by Alan Wong. You get two vanilla ice cream cones which look remarkably realistic. Use your imagination for different ways to use them, including vanishes, productions and transpositions! Although they look realistic, they are NOT EDIBLE!

This is one of our most popular effects! The magician freely displays six different colored chips. The chips are then turned face down and mixed up by the spectator. The magician now brings attention to a small envelope which holds his prediction of the color of the chip which will be selected. He then asks a spectator to select one of the chips at random. When the envelope is opened his prediction is proven to be correct. This trick takes very little sleight of hand and can be mastered in no time. Free selection - NO FORCING NEEDED!

"Wow" has been called one of the greatest magic tricks of the decade. Please note this is the original highest quality version hand made by Masuda himself in Japan. This is not a knock-off or the Chinese version! If you’re one of the few magicians who hasn’t seen “Wow” my words alone will not do it justice. The trick involves an ordinary deck of cards which you supply. A card is selected, signed and returned to the deck. The magician tries to find the chosen card but discovers that he is not able to. He instead brings out a very thin see-thru plastic mesh card case. Since he could not find the chosen card he slips a different card into the see thru case and in full view, in fact, in the spectators own hand the card in the case clearly and slowly transforms into the signed card. The card can actually be removed from the case by the spectator himself and is seen to be completely un-gimmicked and intact.

Wow now comes in a combination set! The combination set includes an un- gimmicked duplicate card case that you can switch out to have examined. We only have a few of these sets available so they are sure to sell out very quickly. For readers of our newsletter only we are offering an extra special discount – You can have the combo for the low price of only $79.99. To take advantage of this insider price please call our New York City store or come in to place your order.

As part of our very popular Asian line of classic effects Fantasma Magic has created an absolutely stunning rattle and Lippencott box we call Locked Encounter. A small borrowed object such as a ring or marked coin is placed inside a small rectangular black box. A small red box is now brought out. The borrowed item is heard to rattle around inside the first box and then vanishes from within it to appear inside the locked red box which your spectator himself may unlock. This is classic magic at its best. If you can finger palm a coin (very easy to master) then you’ll be performing this trick in no time! If you can’t finger palm a coin you should ask us about our large selection of books and DVD’s including the collected works of David Roth.

If you haven’t visited us lately, you wouldn’t recognize the place. We have added over 200 new book titles and over 100 new DVD’s. We have also added some new Colin Rose and Mikame quality magic pieces to our line.
