Six stand-up effects from Martin's cabaret act. First a step-by-step guide on how to make the props on your kitchen table quickly and easily with only basic tools and materials. Then, in live performance, see how the apparatus is used to really make magic happen. Big Switch - a great MC bit. Attempting to right a wrong, the performer shows the audience how to switch a card - literally. Snacks, Alive. - Martin's take on the classic vanishing bottle. Come-Back Card - a very visual card effect for the platform. A card keeps jumping to the face of a pack, which is out of the performer's hands. Technicolor Prediction - a prediction effect with built-in comedy that leads up to a surprising finale. Easy to customize for different audiences. Each time the outcome is different. Ripstix - the classic Chinese Sticks never had much of a finish until now. Cardiographic - yes, you can make one. It's easier than you think. For the first time, Martin reveals all of the details and subtle touches that bring his sketchpad card-rise effect into the miracle class.
