New Give-A-Way: Marlo’s Miracle Routine starring Bill Malone

Bill Malone Marlo's Miracle RoutineMarlo’s Miracle Routine will convince any audience that there isn’t anything that you can’t do with a deck of cards – and it can be yours…FREE!

Ed Marlo’s Miracle Routine is a complete card act and serves as a wonderful introduction to Marlo’s fine thinking and brilliant construction. Originally published in 1947 in Marlo in Spades, this routine is an unbelievable six-phase demonstration of card mastery. In fact, it was Eddie’s favorite opening trick for laymen. On this DVD, I demonstrate and teach the entire routine but purposely give a very basic presentation. This leaves it up to you to add your own style that will turn this classic into a modern masterpiece. I hope to someday see your performance of what really is—a miracle routine!

Bill Malone

Marlo’s Miracle Routine has always been very closely guarded by professionals who have used it to bolster their reputations as master card magicians, and for good reason. The routine consists of six marvelous phases that would all be blockbuster effects on their own. When combined via Marlo’s seamless routining, however, the result is a ten-minute card act of almost unparalleled strength. The six powerful effects that make up Marlo’s Miracle Routine are:

CARDS BY WEIGHT – A spectator cuts a packet of cards away from the deck and the performer is able to accurately determine the exact number of cards cut. This can be repeated as many times as desire.

MIRACLE LOCATION – A spectator is handed the deck to cut while the performer looks away. After the pack has been cut by the spectator several times, he looks at the top card and then buries it into the middle of the deck. Despite these unbelievably fair conditions, the performer is able to find the card.

THE PREDICTION – The performer writes a prediction before the effect even begins. The spectator is asked to call out any number between 1 and 52. After the number is called, the performer picks up the deck and, without any manipulation, counts down to the selected number. The card at that number is found to match the performer’s previously-written prediction.

A STRAIGHT FLUSH – The performer deals four hands of Poker and when the cards are turned up, the performer has a Royal Flush!

PERFECT BRIDGE HAND – Four hands of Bridge are dealt and its found that the performer has the highest Bridge hand possible – all thirteen cards of a single suit!

THE RUMMY GAME – Two hands of seven-card Rummy are dealt from a shuffled deck, yet the performer manages to, once again, have a perfect hand – seven suited cards!

If you were to watch a great magician perform this routine (like Bill Malone, for example), you’d be convinced that it would take years of arduous practice to master. The truth, however, is that you’ll be able to amaze people with this powerful card magic sequence almost immediately, whether you’re a beginner, an intermediate, or an advanced card magician. The power of Marlo’s Miracle Routine is only matched by how easy it is to do!

When Ed Marlo was asked by either laymen or magicians to do a card trick, his Miracle Routine was almost always what he performed. Now, with any $50.00 purchase, you’ll receive a comprehensive DVD where Bill Malone performs the entire six-phase routine in front of a group of amazed spectators and then meticulously teaches it in minute detail. This is your chance to learn reputation-making card magic from one of the world’s best magicians – and it can be yours as our gift! Quantities are limited and offer can expire without notice!

Michael Close – Devious

Michael Close Devious

It has been a dozen years since Michael Close has released any material on DVD. His last collection – The Ultimate Workers – was lauded for both its quality of material and its thoroughness of instruction. These were the routines that defined the word “worker.”

Well, Michael is back, and his goal remains the same: to entertain and profoundly fool everyone he performs for, whether they are laymen or magicians. You’ll laugh, you’ll be amazed, and when you find out how these routines work you’ll say, “Man, that guy is devious.”

For the past decade, Michael has been living and working in Las Vegas, a town where a deck of cards is a commonplace object. On this two-disc DVD set, Michael focuses on card magic, with routines suitable for formal settings, strolling, casual performances, and those special times when you want to crush the brains of your magic buddies. As before, Michael’s explanations take you far beyond the “how” of each trick into discussions of the “why” of each routine. A large amount of supplemental information is also imparted.

Price for the 2 DVD Set- Only $69.90.
