New DVD from James Brown coming soon...

Postby theboss » Apr 6th, '08, 20:38



Hi all

Last Thursday I had my Lecture in Dunstable filmed for a new DVD. Here is a breakdown of the material covered. Never written press like this so I have tried to be as true as possible both to the lay perspective of the effect and the reality that magicians expect. Comments and questions are welcomed!

One Coin Routine - One coin, no duplicate. The perfect impromptu effect that guarantees they book you again and again. One coin repeatedly vanishes and reappears, in your eye, under their watch until finally, their watch vanishes and appears on their shoulder!!

Band Up Revisited - This is the one that got everyone talking on the Still Fancy A Pot of Jam DVD. Only this time it's much much better! This WILL go straight into your next performance!

Underhanded - Imagine how the spectator feels when a chosen card that they have shuffled back into the pack, then placed the pack back into the box SLOWLY materializes under their own hand. This is not just underhanded by name, it's underhanded by nature!

Hofzinsers Twist - One day Hofzinsers Aces had a sordid love affair with Twisting the Aces... This was the child.

Box Clever - This is card under box on acid! Greg Wilson said it was 100% better than his. Do it ANYWHERE, even on a spectators hand. Repeat card under box, deck under box, card in box and a ending that will make your audience swear like a trooper!!

Eye Access Load - A devastating quickie that really does use psychology but also turns the fire hose on them at the end! When they say "Show us a trick" this is what James does to shut them up for good!

TT - Not telling!

Psychic Paper - A business card trick that really will have them fighting over your details. A blank business card is handed to the spectator who is asked to think of a card. Others at the table are asked to join in too. When the card is turned over it has collected everyone’s thoughts. In a flash everything VISUALLY changes into just his choice!

Card Under Watch 2008 - Imagine giving the spectator the pack, THEN asking him to name any card. The cards are dealt out one at a time only for him to find that his card is missing. Now who would have thought that he would pick the only one folded up under his watch!
Imagine no longer... Just do it!

2 hours of commercial, hard hitting magic PLUS all the work on audience management, timing and misdirection that have made James a highly sort after performer for lay people and magicians alike.


Anyone who was at the lecture and would like to comment on the authenticity of the above please do. I am willing to make necessary changes before I go to print as it where!

DVD should be ready in a couple of weeks from my website. Cost will be £20 inc p&p in the UK. £25 for International

I'm trying to stop buying magic but your last DVD is one of the highlights of my collection. £20 notes seems an OK price as well so consider one copy sold !

Any clues as the release date?

Technically not very difficult at all! Some routines require moves like the side steal but you could use your own method to control & palm.

Mainly it's the audacity that will stump a few. This is all covered in the DVD though.

I would suggest that it is beyond the beginner (although they would learn much) and aimed at the mid and advanced skill levels.
