All the magic featured on this DVD has been road tested by Mark over many years and every routine will guarantee you superb reactions. You'll even learn three routines that will get you business card into the client's hands! Also featured is "Blockbuster", Mark's fantastic prediction effect that you WILL feature!

Blockbuster - A random celebrity movie star is thought of... Your autograph collection has been in full view the entire time... the only autograph you have collected is their thought of name... all the other cards are blank!!! Instant reset, great for table hopping. A routine that always gets instant re-bookings!

State of the Union - Taken from the Blockbuster Effect. Think of ANY U.S. State and when the cards are spread, it's only one written in an entire deck of blanks! Works every time!

Holiday Destination - Another brilliant application from The Blockbuster Effect, where someone chooses a random dream holiday destination, predicted ahead of time by the magician.

Coins Across (3) - A real working coins across tested over 1000's of performances for real people, using a gaff you probably already own!

The Hidden Key - While your back is turned you have a card peeked at, you fan out the cards & turn round... from the face down spread you remove their thought of card!! An amazing technique that you WILL use.

Business Card Bonus - A spectators signed card vanishes from the deck and is instantly removed from your wallet inside a clear wallet with your business card trapped inside. The perfect promotional tool.

3D realization - A knockout 8 Ball production with an unbelievable kicker ending, which happens in the spectator's hands! This starts clean and ends clean.

Supa-fast Chop Cup - A classic effect with a Tommy Wonder twist. With loading tips & audience management suggestions.

Ambitious Sticka - A card is freely selected, signed & lost in the middle of the deck...First it jumps to the top, then changes face, then your business card appears on an indifferent card which ends up on the back of the spectators signed card! The perfect promotional giveaway.

Sticka Monte - The classic 2 card monte with a self promotional ending!

Float - Mark's superb hook up system for the invisible thread system. You can even take your jacket off, throw it down, and it will be ready to go when you put it back on. Always ready. Plus a close look at Mark's new Double Thread Reel!

BONUS SLEIGHTS

Hot Shot Cut Catch - Daryl's hot shot cut... but you catch the card with the same hand!

Ringfinger - A fantastic surprise with a sucker ending!!

Plus essential PDF's for the Blockbuster Effect!

These days I'm pretty fast at categorizing the material on a DVD. I have three broad categories. Strangely, they have more to do with the creator than the material itself.

First there are the amateurs. Usually young guys who have an interesting idea, but haven't performed it more than a few dozen times.

Most of you would guess that my next category is that of the professional. Actually, the last two categories are what I would technically consider “professionals.” They both comprise people who have actually worked on a regular basis for money. But in my world, pros come in two varieties.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of pros that have years and years of experience, but never seem to really get better. I think it's because their performances are all about them and their ego. They don't listen to the audience, so they don't grow. But that's another topic too deep to get into here.

The final category are performers that have moved to a level of excellence. They work a lot... and they listen. They grow. They make the routines their own. Mark Southworth falls into this category.

A lot of material on this DVD will be somewhat familiar. Chop Cup. Coins Across / Three Fly. Ambitious Card. But each of the routines has something (sometimes many things) new to offer.

One of the things that impressed me the most is that many of the routines have obviously been shortened. Everyone else wants to add phases and make them more complex. Mark cuts out the fat and ends up with much better magic.

And many of the routines are about something... something other than a card or coin trick. They're about movie stars, travel destinations, and so on.

For you hard-core card folks, there's a selection and revelation that will knock your socks off.

Did I mention that his floating bill ends up with an audience member plucking the bill from its suspended animation in mid-air?

Yeah, cool.
