Magic Tricks

This is a gem of a teaching video. Whether you want to learn classic slate magic or updated work with dry-erase boards, this is the place to start. You even learn a card trick that uses cards instead of slates and the staged change is ingenious. Don't be surprised that this type of magic will take some work on your part to gather and modify materials. That's how it was back in the early days of Tarbell and it hasn't changed.

These are generally stand-up tricks and the staging in a parlor or stage show is needed in some routines. Dan has some nice effects here and the knowledge he imparts can inspire you to modify these for your working conditions. If you would never do a magic square presentation, then you can undoubtedly find many other uses for the gimmicked board he teaches you how to make.

The appearing symbol during the erasing of a dry-erase board covered with wrong guesses and scribbling is super. Arts-and-crafts are required again, but this can really be turned into something special. I've got several ideas already to incorporate into the presentation.

If you just want effects you can watch and perform immediately, then this isn't for you. These will take time and effort to prepare, but you will end up with an array of effects far broader than just the specific presentations given here. I really appreciated learning these items.
