Just a heads up, Gary Jones has A new DVD coming out in January. Looks like it is going to be a good one.

Here is the Blurb:


The Gary Jones – No Frills Lecture LIVE


1, Coins to Pocket...A coin repeatedly vanishes from the performer's hand and appears in many different pockets of the spectator. This is a real lesson in sleight-of-hand, audience management and misdirection. This routine will teach you how to load coins, cards or just about anything into people's pockets with ease!

2, Starter For 10...You show an order pad (like the type used by waiting staff) and instantly the pad changes into a full deck of cards. This is a superb opener for the restaurant magician! Easily made up in less than one minute with items you probably have lying around.

3, 3Fly Plus...This is Gary's version of this classic. Three silver dollar coins are magically produced (each coin is handled by the spectators), two of the coins visually vanish at the fingertips, these are again produced from the spectator's ear and jacket; the other coin now visually vanishes and appears back in the pocket. All three coins now travel from one hand to the other one at the time and at the very fingertips, each coin now completely vanishes in a most magical way. You are now left 100% clean and reset for the next table!!

4, Sponge Ball Surprise...If you do the sponge balls then you will love Gary's solution to the 'multi ball' climax without the hassle of picking up the balls. This routine also teaches you how to make your volunteers the stars of the show with very clever spectator management and clever routining This routine is perfect for the table hopper/strolling magician is now a firm favorite with many professionals!

5, Prediction Die.. The magician places a prediction on view, spectator throws an imaginary die and calls out the number it landed on, prediction matches, or does it?! 100% self-working.

6, 3 Coin Prediction...You predict the outcome (Heads or Tails) of three coins tossed into the air before they land. 100% self-working.

7, Repeat Signed Cards to Pocket...Three cards are selected, signed and lost in the deck, one by one each card jumps to a different pocket, now without any moves the cards instantly jump back into the pockets. Yes they are really back in the pockets and the spectator can even remove the cards themselves!!! This is a stunning routine and a real magician fooler!!

8, Ring and Pins...A borrowed finger ring jumps off a MARKED safety pin held in your right hand and onto another safety pin held in your left hand, everything can be examined. Visually stunning and very easy to do!

9, 6 Cards to Pocket...Arguably the best method for the cards to pocket out there. This routine has received rave reviews from some of the biggest names in the business.

10, Pseudo Hypno Coin...First you show off with some one coin juggling and then you "make you hand shrink" to a quarter of its size. This a quick and funny routine which establishes the performer and also lets the audience know they're in for some fun.

11, Coins Across...Performance only.

12, Pop Up Phone...The magician openly places two coins into his hand, instantly the coins change into a mobile phone. Very easy to do and 100% impromptu!

13, Mindful Coins...You show a small metal box which contains a prediction (a coin) and this is placed on full view. You now bring out a handful of different coins from all over the world, a spectator chooses any coin (no force). Both coins match. Remember no forces of any kind.

14, Telephone Prediction...A pack of cards is shown to have 52 different telephone numbers written on their backs. The magician writes a prediction on the back of his/her business card and this is given to someone to hold on to. Any card is now named and removed from the deck, the spectator who's been holding onto the business card is asked to read out what is written on the card, but cannot find any writing, all they can find on the business card are the magician's contact details....Yes, the freely selected telephone number matches the performer's contact details!! This is an excellent way of handing out your business card in a very magical way!

15, Ambitious Card (Incorporating Pocket to Pocket)...This is Gary's take on the classic Ambitious Card but...Gary's Pocket to Pocket sequence will have both magicians and lay people scratching their heads in bewilderment. Stunning!

16, Ring and String Climax...When Bobby Bernard saw Gary perform this in Blackpool he said " You caught me that was excellent!" If you do a ring and string routine then this is the ending you have been waiting for!!

Also included on this DVD is Gary's Top Con Control, a very deceptive card control which is very easy to do. Plus loads of tips on misdirection, audience management, timing, pocket management, working tables, working pre dinner drinks receptions etc.

Every effect on this DVD is instantly reset and ready to go again immediately, so if you're a strolling magician you won't ever have to keep disappearing and having to reset your props or pockets.

The advice and tips on this DVD will help the magician who is trying to break into the 'Close-up' market, but the full time professional magician will also find many of Gary's tips extremely useful.

Thanks Tony,

I wasn't sure when the guys at Next Trick would finish the editing, but it looks like the DVD will be released at the beginning of January 2010.

The DVD was shot at the Coventry Magic Circle during a live lecture using two cameras, so everything should be very clear and easy to learn from.

All the best,

Gary Jones.

I am looking forward to this, I love Garys magic its very commercial and some of the best working material I have seen.

I already use some of Garys effects and they never fail to impress.

Garys a great guy and everytime I see him he frys my brain me something new.

A great magician, great material, and this will be a fantastic project that is not to be missed.

I will be buying one as soon as its here.

Lee.

Looks like there's plenty on there too. I like the sound of this, never seen any of Gary's stuff before, sounds like I may be missing out.

I got the Worker's Corner bundle at Blackpool this year; it's lovely stuff, i think i'll be taking a look at this too.

No doubt that we will have words about getting a copy Gary, looking forward to it....now when is the next Riviera close up competition...

Thanks Lawrence, Matthius88 and Mr Lee 'Slick Hands' Smith, very kind of you all.

Kind Regards,

Gary.

This looks very cool. Plenty of variety.

Thank you, and yes, not just cards and coins! I wanted to include effects for the full time pro as well as the hobbyist. I'm both a full time pro and magic is still my hobby!!

Just for the record on this DVD I also teach the following, the pop up move with coins, the Malini colour change, my own Top Con Control, the Berg palm with my addition, the Action Palm (double undercut palm) and the convincing control. Plus many tips on audience management, pocket management, tips on corporate work, reception work, strolling magic, misdirection and many more essential bits and bobs!

This is a live lecture so you will see the 'warts and all'

Of the 16 effects on the DVD 5 are self-working, the rest are not really that difficult to do if you have basic to intermediate card and coin handling skills.

All the best,

Gary Jones.

Yes I entered, Mal Norton won, was a good competition, anyway, I look forward to this, as usual you are being too generous with your material, but I shall endeavor to write a full review for you.

There would've been more effects on the DVD but due to it being a live lecture, a few effects had to be removed due to me moving way out of shot etc. I'm not doing this for the money, I just love this art, been around a long time now so seen and done most of it!!!

Mal's a great guy and an excellent magician, and no doubt a worthy winner. Hoping to have a go myself next year, could do with some silverware above the log fire!

Cheers mate,

Gary Jones.

Hi Guys just to update this thread this dvd is now been released and there is a trailer on themagicattic.co.uk

I think this has some of the most stunning WORKABLE effects around.

Having watched Gary do some of this stuff on Thursday at the home counties, I can deffinatly say that this is well worth investing in, regardless of what area of magic your interested in.

As always Gary gives us Simple methods, and solid advice,and plenty of food for thought.

Hi Dale,

As I mentioned at the beginning of my lecture at your club, this lecture contains effects and ideas for all types of magician. Quite a bit of this can be done down the pub with mates, at a party or at a professional gig.

The emphasis is on removing unnecessary sleights and moves, but there is enough of that on the DVD for those who like to put the work in.

Great to see you the other night mate, and love the method you came up with for my 3 Coin Prediction, great thinking.

All the best,

Gary Jones.
