Stealing Pips: The Card Magic of Oz (DVD) - It's time to get VISUAL. Your spectators will not believe their eyes. Already being called "the finest card magic DVD of the year", this hot new release is destined to become a classic.
"This is one of the BEST collections of original card magic I have seen on a DVD! Really terrific! You fooled me more times than I care to admit, and I found many of the methods as interesting as the effects." -- David Acer
"The magic I have seen is really good. I liked it a lot. The "Shot Caller" is good, as is "Once Upon A Time." My very favorite is "IC3" and it will be going into my shows right away. Well done!" -- Aldo Colombini
"Oz's "IC3" is an excellent ungimmicked version of my "Triple Vision", perfect for when the gaffed decks are at home and you want to slay an audience." -- David Regal
"Some magic captures the mind... some magic captures the eye. Oz's magic captures the entire spectator." -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin Magic

The Genii Review
Genii Magazine is the oldest and most respected magazine on magic in the United States. It has been in publication since 1936.
In the December 2003 issue, Joe M. Turner wrote the following review on Oz's DVD, Stealing Pips.
Oz Pearlman is a young pro from New York City whose deceptive card magic is easy to learn, fun to perform, and magical to watch. On this DVD, Mr. Pearlman teaches a dozen of his most usable ?workers? for close-up card magicians.
The effects are varied, ranging from predictions to vanishes to transpositions. Some of the plots are classics, but the additions Mr. Pearlman contributes are substantial and worth preserving.
Mr. Pearlman executes his material with both passion and precision. His handling of the Bertram color change caused me to reach for the remote so I could watch it again ? in his hands, it truly looks like a camera trick. His explanation of the move is clear and through, as are all of his explanations. His ?IC3? is an ungimmicked handling of David Regal?s ?Triple Vision? which eliminates the need for gaffed decks and is probably my favorite routine on the DVD.
I will share a couple of reasons why this kind of DVD appeals to me. First, the magic itself is more than just changes in finger positions, phase sequences, or sleight substitutions. In most cases, the magic represents either practical original material, in-depth expertise on a particular sleight, or a variation of an existing effect that makes a substantive change in the routine, such as eliminating the need to carry a gaffed deck. Each of these qualities is an effective motivator that spurs me to try out a new routine or move.
Another important consideration is that the production values are high but they are not turned into the star of the show. I am certainly a fan of creative and theatrical approaches to training, but when a product?s style outweighs the substance of the material being taught, I lose interest quickly. Fortunately that is not the case with this product.
This DVD is a gem and worth your time if you perform card magic in strolling or other close-up environments. (Oh, and if you?re wondering, Mr. Pearlman?s first name rhymes with ?hose.?)

This DVD is full of good quality stuff. Oz does a great job walking you through each of the effects. The Card Vanishes sequence is probably my favorite routine on the DVD. The SAC move is one of the techniques that could be said to be 'worth the price of the DVD'. I really like Oz' thinking with some of these moves.

A good challenge.

I like this DVD a lot because the magic and sleights are a bit more advanced than a lot of Oz's instant downloads. So when I sat down and learnt some of the tricks on the DVD it forced me to learn some slightly technical moves and magic.
If you're looking for a DVD with some very visual magic and some tricky sleights then certainly get hold of this!

Not as good as I think
by Sze-To Ho Wai from Hong Kong on 04/03/2010 06:17:20
I bought this DVD because I like Oz Pearlman's ideas. However, I found some of the routines in this DVD looks similar (e.g. Perfecto & IC3). I like Perfecto, Thought Force as well as the Card Vanishes routines, and some of the effects in this DVD are actually quite amazing (e.g. Lord of the Twist), but overall, this is neither my favourite Oz Pearlman DVD nor a card magic DVD I really enjoy.
