Who says lightning doesn’t strike twice? Presenting
John Guastaferro’s Second Storm, a follow-up to his
popular Brainstorm DVDs released in 2003. Second Storm
continues John’s brand of close-up magic; that is,
strong, creative, practical and entertaining—ideal for
strolling and formal close-up venues. John has earned
the praise of magicians worldwide for his original
ideas and effects. As Jon Racherbaumer puts it,
“Second Storm demonstrates John’s unique ability to
transform effects into ‘extraordinary moments.’”
Second Storm includes never-before-seen card and
non-card effects, as well as new twists from John’s
2005 lecture notes. Also on this series are John’s
exclusive Brainstorm Breaks,
where he shares additional ideas designed to spur your
creativity.
