Worth the cost of the entire series, this first volume in Al Schneider's landmark video series is a significant contribution to the why's and how's of performing magic. The value of the information presented here cannot be underestimated as Al Schneider presents the principles that lie at the very core of magic deception. And, to drive home each principle, an effect is performed to clearly show the importance of the principles involved. First, the effects will fool you and then you'll watch again to review the sound magic theory they represent. Al Schneider has truly developed an advanced graduate course on the theory, practice and delivery of powerful magic.

CONTENT INCLUDES:

CROSSED CARD JR. - A stunning beginning that introduces the concepts presented in this volume. You will want to watch this carefully to get all the subtleties of this routine.

The Al Schneider Technique--Vol. 1 Report this review

Another wonderful set by Al Schneider that teaches you Al's insight on a few different topics. Each DVD covers a special topic and delivers that Al Schneider touch that those in the know are seeking out.

There are no "frills" with Al's material, no fluff, no filler, just straight forward "knock your duff in the dirt" virtual magic! Practice this stuff, it's doable! I love Al's theory! He treats things as anyone would who could actually perform real magic. It's NOT about all of the theatrics, wardrobe, lighting, sound, special effects, etc. And, it's NOT about the timeworn and cliche' mantra that seems to want to corral us all into being "entertainers".

Al, like Darwin Ortiz, believes that any entertainment the audience receives should be due to exquisite magic alone!!! Entertain with magic! Forget "schtick", forget one-liners, forget comedy (theres nothing funny about magic, really), forget the whole "I must entertain" fallacy. . .just perform "MAGIC", that's what they came to see--entertain WITH MAGIC!!! And magic doesn't get much better than Al Schneider!!!

Long story short, Buy anything you can afford by Al Schneider--what's to regret?

Most important DVD I have Report this review

I have many magic DVD's and this is probably the best. Yes he teaches you how to do several trick and useful sleights very well - but he also does something more important. He teaches how and why timing, the slightest movement and other tiny things can change the perception of a trick. His teaching can change a simple tricks into what appears to be real magic. After watching this DVD you will be re-evaluating every trick you do and making changes to improve them. I think everyone can learn something from this DVD.

Learning the Fundamentals Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 5th, 2021
I’m new to magic and Al’s DVD was very helpful to me in understanding the structure and perception of a magic trick. His knowledge and experience gets you up the learning curve quickly. It’s like having a master magician give you insightful tips and show you the differences between technical moves and real magic. I recommend this DVD to any new magician.
