Reality Check by Michael Paul video DOWNLOAD

Build close-up routines with more than just the moves: Michael Paul’s Reality Check video download includes three one-on-one lessons on visual effects, timing, audience direction, context, and framing. Over 90 minutes of instruction also explores variations, subtleties, and the thinking behind each routine.

• Atomic 2.0: Learn variations of a candy effect that appears in a flash of fire, vanishes, and reappears in your mouth.
• Phantom: Study several ways to make a half dollar vanish and reappear, including a version described as looking like trick photography.
• U.V.A.C.: Learn an ambitious card routine with a face-up instant rise, an animated card-to-the-top phase, and a signed-card vanish.
• Practical instruction: The lessons cover timing, audience direction, context, framing, and other details that shape a performance.
• Special jam session: Matt Mello joins Michael Paul to discuss the routine and its details.

Use the lessons to develop close-up material with an emphasis on both the visual moments and how you present them to an audience.
