Main Event: The Knockout Magic of Caleb Wiles - DVD
Caleb Wiles is a creative force in card magic. Known for his diabolical methods and engaging presentations, Caleb's magic is defined by efficient methods. With a minimum of sleights, these tricks achieve maximum impact.
This two-disc DVD set is jam-packed with the very best of Caleb's original material: both a "greatest hits" and a healthy helping of new and unpublished magic. Every single trick is a knockout. This is hard-hitting magic that you will use!
You'll learn Caleb's definitive, updated handling for his seminal "Reswindled" effect. The original routine is used by professionals worldwide. This new version adds a visual climax that makes it even better! Then there is the whimsical "All Signs Point to Yes," in which drawings on a playing card come to life to divine a selection. You will learn "Armchair Mindreading," a mentalism-style card effect that will stun even the most knowledgeable magicians... and much more.
