Art of Magic by Wayne Houchin - DVD

Study Wayne Houchin’s approach to modern magic through performances, interviews, and instruction on five effects. This two-hour DVD moves from street performances in South Beach, Miami, to the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.

• 60-minute documentary: Hear personal stories and advice about presenting magic, learning as a beginner, and why magicians fail.
• Five effects taught: Learn Wayne’s take on Twisting the Aces, plus French Kiss, WH Ring+String Mystery, Match Bite, and Carbon Paper.
• Memorable magic: The effects include aces turning face up one at a time, signed cards switching places, and a string visually passing through a borrowed ring.
• More visual moments: Also see a burnt match end bitten off and restored, and a burn seemingly travel from one card to another.
• Magic perspectives: Interviews with David Regal, Aaron Fisher, Dan and Dave Buck, and Wayne Houchin offer varied insights into the art and performance of magic.

The instructional session runs 60 minutes, with material described as suitable for beginner and intermediate students. Use the documentary for ideas about presentation, then explore the taught effects as you build your own close-up repertoire.
