Welcome to Volume 2 of the brand new two DVD set from James Brown and rsvpmagic. Join James and his camera crew as they perform six superb routines in a live bar environment.
Along the way watch as James makes cards appear underneath people's hands, makes a playing card held by the spectator HOT, makes the entire deck sort itself out and then makes a THOUGHT of card appear under the spectator’s watch. ANY CARD! This is reputation making magic and you’ll see just how great it really is by the reactions they get! After the performances, stay after hours and join James and Ravi Meyer as they discuss every routine in intricate detail.
These DVDs are without doubt some of the finest that we at rsvpmagic have produced. Every routine is a usable piece for every working magician and best of all is that you only need to supply a deck of cards!
Contents:
THOUGHT OF TRIUMPH The deck is shuffled face up into face down and the spectator THINKS of one card. The whole deck now turns face down except for their selection!
BURN A card is selected and placed onto the spectator’s hand. Suddenly their hands are now stuck together and slowly heat up. When they open their palms, the selected card is now seen to have a burn mark on it. A superb update on the old ash trick.
TRIPLE WHACK Three cards are freely selected by three people. The cards are dealt onto the table for the spectators to slam their hands onto their cards when they see them. All spectators chose the same card! This card (signed) instantly vanishes and appears on the ceiling above them... Stunning magic!!!
UNDERHANDED A chosen card appears UNDER the spectators hand!
2 COLOR SEPERATION A card is selected and shuffled into the deck. The cards are shown face up by the magician and cut into two piles. Amazingly, they have now seperated into Reds and Blacks and their card is now in the pile they freely choose as the only card of that color in the spread! PERFORMANCE ONLY - JAMES BROWN'S TAKE ON KOSTYA KIMLAT'S "UNSHUFFLING THE COLORS" FROM "ROADRUNNER CULL' DVD
HYPNOTIC INDUCTION Watch James use some of the magic explained on Volume 1 to induce a hypnotic state. Features a brilliant version of 'Cerebral Steal' using a thought of word. Great stuff!
THOUGHT OF CARD UNDER WATCH Card under watch goes to another level! The spectator freely THINKS of any card which instantly appears UNDER THEIR WATCH. Simple, clean and direct as it reads... SUPERB!
Welcome to Volume 1 of the brand new two DVD set from James Brown and rsvpmagic. Join James and his camera crew as they perform six superb routines in a live bar environment.

This is reputation making magic and you’ll see just how great it really is by the reactions they get! After the performances, stay after hours and join James and Ravi Meyer as they discuss every routine in intricate detail.
These DVDs are without doubt some of the finest that we at rsvpmagic have produced. Every routine is a usable piece for every working magician and best of all is that you only need to supply a deck of cards!
Contents Include:
BOX CLEVER A freely chosen card, which can be signed, vanishes from the deck multiple times, appearing under the card case, inside the card case and finally the entire deck jumps into the case! ALL DONE WHILST THE SPECTATOR IS HOLDING THE CARD CASE!
ITHWICH Two cards are cleanly shown and placed onto the spectators hands. AFTER this a card is freely chosen and almost instantly vanishes from the entire deck and appears BETWEEN the two they are holding! Superb stuff.
OMNI PRESENT A card is chosen and SIGNED. The spectator is now given the deck to hold and told to imagine that the entire deck has suddenly become transparent and that the only card they can see, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DECK is their card! A fantasic pseudo hypnosis routine.
CAUGHT THREE TIMES Three selected cards appear sandwiched, one at a time, between two court cards under impossible conditions!
REVERSE ENGINEERING Two thought of cards are devined under impossible conditions. James now takes the audience back in time showing that one card placed in his pocket at the start of the routine is one of the selections!
CEREBRAL STEAL The spectator choses a card and is then made to lose all memory of it! This is then followed by an impossible mind read by the magician. Strong and reputation making magic!

Effect Descriptions
Oxnard Split A highly visual handling of Paul Harris' "Las Vegas Split." A Four transforms into two Twos followed by each of the Twos transforming into two Aces.
One Off The magician attempts to find a selected card, however, he is off by one. To remedy the situation, the magician splits the card into two cards to reveal the selection.
Off Balance Transposition A three-phase routine where a selected card and the four Aces repeatedly switch places culminating with a visual transformation of the selection into the four Aces.
The Paint Brush Change (Roy Walton) Roy Walton's wonderful full face visual change of one card into another happens instantaneously as you "wiggle" the card.
Double Lift Unload A deceptive technique for unloading the lowermost card of a double so that it appears as if the card never goes flush with the deck.
About Face A card held at your fingertips turns over visually with just a stroke of your thumb. A handling for Alex Elmsley's "Turn-About Card."
Twisting the Kings A direct handling of Dai Vernon's classic "Twisting the Aces" finishing with all four cards turning over simultaneously.
The Mirage Trick The magician offers to show the audience a mirage. A selection is produced between two cards, but immediately vanishes proving that its appearance was just a mirage. Included in the explanation is a handling of the Bluff Pass.
Spectator Cuts to the Aces A clean and direct handling of this classic plot. The method highlights a versatile unloading technique that can be applied to other effects.
Mistaken Sandwich A card is produced between two others. Realizing that it is not the selection, the magician causes it to change into the correct card. The three cards can be examined.
Reciprocity The four Kings and the four Aces change places instantly. Two handlings are included.
Hold the Mayo The four Aces are produced one at a time from between two Jokers.
With over 2.5 hours of performances, in-depth instruction and the complete history behind each routine and sleight, Reflection is not simply a DVD on tricks, but an important course for the advancement of your card magic. Shot in High Definition with multiple camera angles. Includes a 10 page booklet.
