ALAKAZAM MAGIC IS PROUD TO PRESENT MICHAEL VINCENT’S MAGICAL ARTISTRY.
Every generation, an individual is born whose work becomes known worldwide as a touchstone for excellence. Michael is just such a person, with the hands of an artist and the soul of a poet.
His sleight-of-hand is masterful, his presentations are inventive, and his performances exude class and sophistication.
Michael has spent the better part of three decades honing his skills to become one of the finest magicians that Great Britain has ever produced. He is the only magician in history to have won the prestigious title of “Magic Circle Close-up Magician of the Year” three times.
This collection includes some incredible effects from Michael’s repertoire. “Rhapsodies in Silver” focuses on coin-based magical effects, while “Other Mysteries” includes some of Michael’s favorite card effects.
Volume 2 picks up where the first left off, with Michael taking you on an introspective journey into his magical world. You will learn about his thoughts, beliefs, and values about the craft of magic over the course of four DVDs.
While the emphasis is on coin and card magic, you will also be exposed to a way of thinking that can take your magic to the next level. The road to success is all about having a plan, and the terrain on this DVD has been laid out for you to follow.
Michael amplifies his teaching and mentoring in order to move and inspire you to become even better magicians. As you watch it, you will understand why Michael’s stunning presentations are regarded as some of the best in the world today by audiences and fellow professionals alike.
