“Do you want to learn powerful magic? John can teach you techniques that will change the way
you perform!”
- Jeff McBride

“John is a very talented and polished performer and creator. He is also a magician that has
done it all, manipulator, bird act, Illusionist and close-up worker; he offers a real world view from
a solid working pro. John's lecture will be entertaining and informative with lots of effects that will
be of interest to anyone looking for practical real world magic."
- Danny Archer

“John T. Sheets is the penultimate performer! I've learned more from him than I can fathom. I
couldn't have built the foundation of my CD manipulation act without his ideas!”
- Bill Cook

"I've known John for 40 years. I have always admired his serious approach to his magic. He has valuable insights from his years of experience. Don't miss this." - Doc Eason

What will he teach?

Rose Production: An amazing opener, creating a huge surprise and incredible reactions!
This very impressive effect can be performed with a real rose, up close and personal, or on the
largest stage.

Rose Vanish to Silks: A beautiful rose instantly and visually changes into two silk
handkerchiefs in the blink of a eye!

JTS’ Ring Thing: This is John’s take on this modern classic, taking it several steps further with
his own unique and original moves. This routine is super visual and truly amazing!

Coloration: A highly visual, award winning Color Changing Deck routine, which has fooled many top professionals in the industry. It uses a regular deck of cards, and leaves the deck clean afterwards for other effects!

Caught in the Middle: A modern and super visual sandwich effect, utilizing the original “JTSalignment” move. This incredible 3 faze routine uses a regular deck of cards.

Caught in the Middle -Quickie Version: A super quick, visual, eye-popping single faze sandwhich effect using the “JTS alignment’ move, and a regular deck of cards.

Twisted Card Change: A visually stunning card change that looks like CGI movie magic! This
is John’s modern twist on the classic Erdnase change combined with a few flourishes that make
it a must see!

Kings Love Aces: An amazing transposition of the four Aces and four Kings. One at a time, clean and visual, and using only eight regular borrowed cards!

The Dream: A fun anytime, anywhere, pocket mentalism effect that will blow the mind of
anyone that you’ve just met for the first time! A small coin envelope, a few coins, a business
card, and a dream.

Visual Key Twist Revelation: Holding a key at just the tips of two fingers, you’re able to
visually twist it with your mind!

Eye Candy: An ultra smooth and logically motivated One Coin routine with a surprise ending!

The Edge Coin Vanish: A unique coin vanish for those special one-on-one performance
opportunities.

JTS’ Retention-Whither Vanish: A vanish that creates a super cool “retention of vision” on a
Whither type vanish.

JTS’ Wrist turn-Whither Vanish: A Whither type vanish using a wrist turn to Fitch Palm
technique

Band Fusion: A quick rubber band effect that compliments any Crazy Man’s Handcuff type
routine. The rubber bands appear to visually melt through one another backwards, then back
again in opposite directions without any moves!

Color Changing Silk: An incredibly visual color changing silk effect for the stage performer.
John shows you how to make something called the “JTS’ Black Ball Gimmick” with parts that
you can order online. This innovative gimmick allows you to perform a super visual color
changing silk effect. No jacket or sleeves required, and the silk can be used for the following
effects! A short discussion, using the “JTS Black Ball gimmick” to visually transform silks into other objects like doves, cards, candles, and feather plumes.

JTS’ Match Pull: An easy to make gimmick, reliable, to instantly light a match. This is John’s
preferred method, straight from his award winning stage act.

Get a Clue: This is one of John’s favorite “sucker” type card effects, direct from his
professional repertoire!

What I really liked about the lecture was that everything was not only taught in detail but the effects are able to be easily added into your show and the effects get amazing reactions from the spectators.
Ive seen Johns work on youtube before going to Las Vegas in september of last year and had the chance to meet and spend time with this true master.
Coloration, caught in between, twisted color change, kings love aces, magic with finger rings and roses is just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to this lecture.
If your looking for visual eye candy, fantastic magic effects and a great learning experience than look no further download this lecture today !.

This DVD includes many effects, more than you usually get with one DVD. It includes keys, coins, cards, several unique rose effects and more. John's teaching was very clear and easy to understand. He is an excellent teacher. I have been doing magic for 20 years, and I found the DVD worth every penny. I am glad I own it.

John's silk system is worth the entire lecture. Think about all the other silk holders out there and you will immediately see the advantages of his holder method. There is a bit more to the system than he tipped... so I hope he begins to sell the gimmicks ready to go.

The weaknesses of the lecture are all on Penguin for a shoddy editing job. The table of contents should at least be downloadable as a pdf. There should be title slides at the beginning of every routine, and probably ones that separate performances from explanations.

Simply Fantastic! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 28th, 2018
What can I say about this lecture? It truly has something for everyone, both close-up and stage!

-Cards
-Coins
-Rings
-Rubber Bands
-Mentalism
-Metal Bending
-Silks
-...Roses? Yep! Those too!

The best part about the wonderful magic presented by John is the simplicity behind the method and the explanation. No knuckle busters here. Just hard-hitting, effective classics by a Master of the craft!

What's more is John truly is an all around nice guy. Staying humble to his roots, he delivers what seems like EVERYTHING in this lecture. If you want an all-around amazing experience...look no further!

This video really showcases the versatility and innovativeness of John T. Sheets. John demonstrates both stage and close-up magic in this presentation. The effects demonstrated are real reputation makers many of which use commonly found objects like cards, coins, finger rings and rubber bands among other things. John is a creative and talented magician, whose video is definitely worth checking out.

John shows a good variety of effects from stage and close-up, to cards and mentalism. There are a couple moves and touches that I will definitely use in some of my existing routines. Worth the time and money for me.

Superb Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 5th, 2017
John is very generous and shares some true gems in this lecture. He gives great presentation and great explanation which always make for a great show.

John is a seasoned expert with a lot of inside information on big stage performance - there is a lot to be learned and all of it will directly translate to parlor, close-up, and walk-around work.

Do yourself a favor and watch this lecture!

Some very good, some meh Report this review

His non card material, e.g., two different versions/methods for appearing rose, were great. His card material was neither new nor interesting in other ways. There were also some extra items that were not tricks, but useful, such as his lit match method. I gave it 4 stars net, because there is material that I will use, and which looks magical.
