Johnny Thompson is one of the last of the living legends in his era. There is only on Vernon, Miller, Elmsley, Jennings, Marlo, and only one Thompson. Fortunately, ten years ago Johnny documented FOUR VOLUMES and nearly his entire close-up repertoire. This is a collection of private magic lessons from one of the formative figures in our art. it boggles the mind how these volumes are not in the collection of EVERY serious magician. Now, here's the really great news: we can now offer the complete collection as a download. You can finally enjoy this material on the go, on your computer, or just about anywhere.

Johnny Thompson Commercial 1-4 Report this review

This series covers many classics from Dai Vernon, Mallini, Charlie Miller and many of the worlds best magicians. Johnny Thompson is one of the most knowledgeable living magicians of our generation. He also was a consultant to many mainstream magicians such as Penn & Teller, Lance Burton, and Criss Angel just to name a few. The magic performed in these DVD or Download are very powerful and great magic. However if you are a beginner, a good majority of the material covered may be a bit intimidating. Many of the sleights and card magic in my opinion is for a high intermediate to advanced magician who has a solid background in card magic and sleight of hand (Cards, Coins, Cups and Balls) If you are a beginner Johnny Thompson has a great DVD called Magic Made Easy and offers powerful magic at a beginner level.

Overall all of the material is top notch and you will learn methods from books that are hard to find and out of print like Fine Art of Magic, George Kaplan, and Greater Magic.
