DEREK DINGLE'S DECEPTIONS DVD

"We have with us the greatest card manipulator in the world." ... Barbara Walters

Derek Dingle's first book, Dingle's Deceptions (written by Harry Lorayne), which was released in 1971 created a firestorm of interest. The routines taught in that book created his reputation as one of the best, most skilled and creative close-up magicians in the world. On this DVD you will see Derek Dingle perform and teach the miracles that first made him famous. As a bonus, Dingle teaches the hysterical routine which he uses in his stand-up and formal close-up shows.

Routines performed and explained:
Card In Balloon: A funny stand-up routine where a selected and signed card appears in a chosen balloon.
The International Coin Trick: Four coins, each from a different country, penetrate the center of a table, one at a time arriving audibly in a glass.
Through & Through: Four cards are placed at the four corners of a table. They magically gather beneath a jumbo card one at a time.
Color Triumphant: A card is peeked at in a red deck. The deck is cut into three piles and the piles are shuffled face up and face down. When the deck is spread all the cards are now facing the same way. As a kicker ending the deck is now blue backed and the selection is the only red backed card in the deck.
Four Coins In The Countin': The coin assembly that introduced the now famous Pickup Move. Four coins in different corners of the table, vanish one at a time and gather under one playing card. As a finale a large coin is produced.
Open Sesame: Four Aces are lost in different parts of the deck and are then found using four different flourishy methods.
Double Color-Changing Aces: Four aces are lost in a red deck and then produced, but now they have blue backs. In a visual ending their backs change back to red in a flash.

Sleights explained within routines: Topping The Deck, Rubdown, Han Ping Chien, Turnover Switch, Peek Force, Pickup Move, Bluff Shift, The Nelson Quickie, Bottom Slip Cut, Triple Buckle, Throw Cut and much more.

This is your chance to see a legend of close-up magic. A Meir Yedid Magic product (from the Richard Kaufman collection). Original release date: DVD: January 2006, VHS: 1997. Running time: Approximately 80 minutes.

"...the performer whom most magicians consider the greatest card magician extant." ... TIME Magazine

Derek Dingle has been one of the most influential close-up magicians of the 20th century. He created many outstanding routines that are in use by the leading professionals in our field. He went from an outstanding amateur to a successful professional and on this DVD you get to see him perform and explain the routines that he regularly used in his professional career.

The DVD begins with a live lecture, taped in Sacramento, California in 1998, where he performed and explained his favorite routines.

Routines performed and explained:
The Derek Dingle Fabulous Jumping Card Trick: Derek's handling for Edward Victor's Eleven Card Trick where the spectator deals eleven cards into your hand but each time you count the cards you only have ten. This is repeated with cards added to the packet and taken away but the total is never as it should be.
New Wave Cigarette Through Quarter: A repeat cigarette through quarter routine like no other. After penetrating the center of a borrowed quarter with a cigarette you confess that you switched coins and then you repeat the sequence with the "real" quarter.
Silver Quick: A clean coins across routine where four coins vanish from your hand and appear on the spectator's palm and in her clenched fist.
The Sympathetic Cards: This is considered the best method for the classic routine where thirteen cards in A-K numerical order are placed in full view in a glass. A second set of cards are removed in a random order from a second deck and placed in a different glass beside the first. Magically the original packet rearranges itself in sympathy to match the order of the random set of cards.
Super Card Rise: A comical and simple method for having a selected card rise out of an ordinary un-gimmicked deck of cards.
Rainbow Deck: An odd backed card is placed in the middle of the deck as the spectator attempts to select it. When he finally selects a card it turns out to be the only regular card left in the deck as all the others now have odd backs.
Derek's Ambitious Card (Performance Only): Used as a closer for his shows and lectures it is the classic effect done the Derek Dingle way with a card to sealed envelope in wallet ending.

You will also see him discuss how to make gaffed cards, give tips on perfecting the Pass and teach the many techniques used within the routines.

The DVD concludes with Derek Dingle performing on stage with his hilarious Card In Balloon, the classic Crystallized Coins Up Sleeve and the rarely seen Card In Lemon. A Meir Yedid Magic product. Original release date: January 2006. Running time: Approximately 60 minutes.

Every magician loved to see Derek perform. They loved to see effects from “Dingle’s Deception’s” and “The Complete Works of Derek Dingle.” But when Derek worked for real people (non magicians) he did FIVE (5) classic effects. He did them better than anyone else.

Here, for the first time, is DEREK’S WALK AROUND CLOSE UP ACT. Every effect was routined to be instantly repeatable. No reset. This is what makes the act perfect for walk around magic, no stealthy trips to the bathroom are necessory.

Direct, clear and very funny. CIGARETTE THROUGH QUARTER: Another Great insight into Derek’s magical mind. Here you learn how to turn a weakness into a strength. THE COLLECTORS: This never before published effect is included to give the reader an insight into Derek’s thinking. The collector effect has been tackled by many great card men. Derek simplifies the handling and eliminates one of the plots major flaws. An understanding of this effect will improved your performance immensely.
