Card Stunts with Gregory Wilson (DVD) - This is extremely visual card magic that hits 'em right between the eyes with speed, impact and mid-air acrobatics!
"Card Stunts is a must have DVD for card workers. It's one of the Top 5 Card Magic DVDs of ALL TIME. And it's the best example of a full act with cards ever put on tape." -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin Magic
"[Gregory Wilson] is probably one of the top 3 or 4 magical "entertainers" in the world...he's not just another finger flinger...and this performance at the Magic Castle shows just how much his audiences love him. Study the magic, but more importantly, study his PERFORMANCE. -- Patrick Drake, Canadian Association of Magicians, 2005 Close-up Champion
The Effect Card Stunts is Gregory Wilson's complete Close-up card act performed live from the Magic Castle. You'll learn how to do it all! The explanations are thorough, and the material is some of the best in the world. If you perform with a deck of cards, this is a must-have DVD.
HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING - The card box magically and mysteriously jumps out of your pocket and back around the deck - TWICE!
PHOENIX SPLIT - Four aces magically appear at your fingertips one at a time -- with your sleeves rolled up!
RESET WITH A HOOK - A jacked-up, nitro-burning demonstration of derring-do that masterfully motivates why the four aces change place with the jacks. BOOMERANG CARD OF DEATH A playing card shoots from the middle of the deck, high into the air, reverses direction mid-flight and plunges back into the deck -- between two selected cards -- with only one hand!
BOXSPRING - One at a time, the four aces sneak our of a completely closed and ungimmicked card case.
JOKE IN THE BOX - Finally, 'Card Under Glass' without getting your cards wet. The bone dry (signed if you like) oker jumps from the deck and under the card box -- twice. Then, for the surprise finish, instead of under, it goes. . . inside the box! Gentlemen, start your Sharpies!
G FORCE - An unsuspecting spectator selects the same card three times in a row. You top things off with a transposition that leaves them in vertigo!
REVELATION IN SPADES - Find thirteen cards in a row - in perfect order!

This is one of my favorite DVDs. I really like this DVD and the routine that is performed in the beginning. Getting to watch Greg perform is an invaluable lesson in audience interaction and management. The tricks are very well-routined and thought out. You will have to practice, but the material is well within the reach of anyone who puts in the work. Joke in the box is an awesome 'card under the glass' style routine and Reset with a Hook is one that you will be performing all the time.
Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
Like almost all Greg Wilson's work, this is a good DVD that contains great effects and is taught by one of the great magic teachers in the world. I will say though, as much of a fan as I am of Greg Wilson, this is NOT one of his best DVD's. I felt On the Spot was made better, more entertaining, and easier to follow than this one. The pacing is a little weird on this, and the teaching, though effective, isn't as relaxed and smooth as On the Spot, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of the immediate 5 I would normally give anything by Greg Wilson.
If you are interested in really good card magic, and are a fan of the Greg Wilson style of magic, I would definitely recommend this. Be prepared to work though...the effects contained are not the easiest things to do! As with everything, practice makes perfect....especially here!

This was the first magic video I ever got, I remember getting it on VHS and watching it over and over. Every effect on here is simply brilliant and you learn so, so ,so many sleights and effects which make it excellent value for money. As always Greg Wilson is funny and friendly in the explanations which make it a pleasure to learn from him.

here is a DVD that is a great one to aspire to. Wilson shows some wonderful tricks, and with enough time, just about anyone could master these illusions. Sometimes, I've found that beginners have a little more time on their hands, so this would be a great video for them. If you're looking for a quick trick to learn and wip out on the fly, this is probably not for .
This guy is so good! he is funny, and he is a great card magician. There are a lot of tips in this dvd that is valuable, and a lot of great tricks, and all of them are very visual and exciting to watch. Have fun with this dvd!
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
