The Al Schneider Technique Vol 4 Stand Up - DVD

Build a stand-up magic show around Al Schneider’s performed-and-taught 15-minute act on The Al Schneider Technique Vol. 4: Stand Up, a DVD for magicians who want material for a live audience. The routines range from classic linking rings to a playful Zombie ball that seems to turn on its performer.

• Linking rings and rope: A five-ring routine can open or close the act, followed by a warm knot routine with knots that appear and disappear.
• Golf balls: A silk scarf produces a ball, more balls appear and vanish, and the finale transforms the last into a giant golf ball in the performer’s bare hands. The routine uses no table.
• Coin tray: A spectator counts and holds coins as three vanish from a handkerchief, then reappear in the spectator’s hands.
• Fusion: Four separate ropes visibly become one length, and the rope can be passed out immediately for examination.
• Zombie: Schneider’s lively take on the classic makes the ball seem to pick on the performer. It can be performed surrounded or close-up, with virtually no setup.

Schneider performs and teaches the act, giving you a complete sequence to work on rather than a collection of unrelated effects. Add practice, then bring a varied stand-up set to your next performance.
