Jack
Miller's Hold Out Miracles
by Ace Greenberg
View Clip
Since Prof. Jack Miller (1884-1962) began performing magic
with his Hold-Out he has fooled many of the best magicians with his
routines and techniques. The original ad for his Hold-Out read, "A
revolutionary principle! Fast, clean and smooth! Never in the
history of magic has there been anything like this! Hand empty at
all times—yet balls, silks, cards et all appear and disappear in
full view at the fingertips, as if guided by the invisible hand of
Satan himself!"
On this DVD Alan "Ace" Greenberg, who was a fan of Prof. Jack
Miller, demonstrates and teaches his rendition of three classic Jack
Miller routines using the Hold-Out. You will learn: The Ball, Silk
And Wand Routine, The Jack Miller Egg Bag Routine and The
Sensational Rope Cut. You will also learn how to quickly make a Jack
Miller style Hold-Out using items that can be easily acquired.
Includes archival footage of Jack Miller performing his Ball, Silk
And Wand Routine and his classic Egg Bag Routine. Also includes
additional commentary by Bob Fitch, Albert Lasher, Pat Page, Howard
Schwarzman, Tony Spina, Sol Stone, Johnny Thompson and Meir Yedid.

 Fundamentalism by David Eldridge
Fundamentalism, the complete mentalism show of David Eldridge all on one DVD.
All the classics are here, including some you've probably never heard about.
The props fit nicely in your pockets and the routines can be performed just about anywhere.
DAVID'S ESP ROUTINE - A self-working three-phase routine using an ESP deck. David has used this effect for years and you'll love the "hands-off" feel of it.
DAVID'S ESP TRICK - This is a great example of "Apparent Spectator Control," wherein the spectator believes that she is controlling everything when, in fact, she controls nothing.
FLIP FLOP - A spectator holds a packet of 5 ESP cards and makes free decisions as to which cards are flipped over. At the end of all this flipping and flopping, you show that you've predicted the outcome in advance!
ESP WITH PLAYING CARDS - This is a three-phase routine using a borrowed deck of playing cards. There is a lie detector test and then a called-out revelation, and David caps it all off with a terrific sandwich effect.
HOY BOOK TEST - This is mentalism at its strongest! Far and away David's favorite book test, and you'll see why -- anytime, anywhere, from any book!
PICK-A-DATE - Easy to do and a wonderful effect. Two random quarters, two spectators, and one amazing moment of magic!
JUMBO 8 CARD BRAINWAVE - A stage-size version of a close-up classic!
THE ENDLESS CHAIN GAME - While this isn't really mentalism, it is included here because it is so much fun to perform!
THE GREY ELEPHANT IN DENMARK - An old classic that David has used to great success. You'll use this in close-up, on stage, even on the radio!
 Magic Making DVD Volume One and Volume Two
by Martin Lewis
Each Martin Lewis DVD features six strong, audience tested, stand up effects plucked from his own Cabaret act. Martin shows you, in a step-by-step hands on guide, how to make the “props” on your kitchen table quickly and easily with only basic tools and materials and needing no special skills. Then, in live performance, see how the apparatus is used to really make magic.
 Magic Making DVD Volume One Routines:
Big Switch
A great MC bit. Attempting to right a wrong the peformer shows the audience how to switch a card… Literally!
Snacks Alive!
Martin’s take on the classic vanishing bottle. The delayed climax provides a pleasing ending without insulting the audiences intelligence. Perfect for both children and adults.
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 performers hands. Created by Martin’s father Eric Lewis.
Technicolor Prediction
A prediction effect with built in comedy that leads up to a suprising 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. This one leaves the audience really baffled.
Cardiographic
Yes you can make one, it’s easier than you think! For the first time on videotape Martin reveals all of the details and subtle touches that brings his sketchpad card rise effect into the miracle class.

 Magic Making DVD
Volume Two Routines:
Two Color Torn Tissue
In this version of the classic “Torn and Restored Napkin” two different colored papers are used to explain how it works… But the audience is still no wiser.
Comedy Card Stab
At the end it seems like the magician stabs the wrong card, but instead ends up with a visual knockout!
Crystal Gazing
A spectator slowly names the card that the audience is thinking of by gazing into a crystal ball. Martin’s method is as amazing as the effect.
Halve-It
The “Three and a Half of Clubs” is taken from being a close up gag to a brilliant stand-up routine. Along the way Martin shows a great way make giant cards.
Handscan
Show the front and back of your hand slowly and produce a fan of cards. Absolutely no manipulation required.
Card in a Bottle
The title tells all. Martin’s presentation of an effect created by Harbin. This is a real fooler, and a closer in anyone’s book. Worth it for the card vanish alone!
