Two dice appear out of nowhere. Their spots dance across their faces, jumping from die to die until the only thing the audience is sure of is that they've seen all sides of each die. Each separate die...and then...they reach their final destination, just south of reality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArcheologists at The Magic Bakery recently unearthed a lost map of the \u003cb\u003eIvory Connection\u003c\/b\u003e, stored on an ancient form of communication known as videotape. Unable to restore the images they found, they journeyed into the wild to capture Reed McClintock and Steve Dobson in their natural habitat. Using modern broadcast-quality digital cameras, they caught Reed performing the routine in front of a live audience, and both Reed and Steve in the optimal viewing conditions of a video studio. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new DVD features the updated presentations, explanations, handlings and tips from both intrepid explorers. For the first time, the rare and illusive Steve Dobson reveals his preferred handling. For the first time, Reed McClintock explains the refinements he has made after years of performances for paying audiences. And as a bonus for future historians, the entire footage of the original \u003cb\u003eIvory Connection\u003c\/b\u003e is included, in all of its low production glory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday's audiences demand more than just a couple of dice whose sides don't add up. Take them on a trip down the \u003cb\u003eIvory Connection\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Ivory Connection is not just another handling of the neo-classic Dr.Sach routine. This has been fully retooled, tightened and simplified, making it a more versatile piece for the strolling performer. The fusing of the dice just comes out of nowhere and is a real kick in the head. Combine those factors with the magical production and vanish of the dice and you have a very commercial routine for the working magician\" - \u003cb\u003eMarc DeSouza \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Just when you thought it was safe to put your dice back in the drawer, along comes a routine with everything--a smooth as silk handling, striking visuals, and a clear and definite ending that comes out of left field.

He's Erdnase with an arrow-through-the-head, but a lot more loveable, and less fictitious. He'll talk a lady out of her last twenty bucks, toss it into the crowd, and she'll just laugh and hug him. He'll swipe someone else's money and people cheer as he tries to make the poor guy feel better. That's just part of the routine he gives up here, along with a brand new way to \u003ci abp=\"3273\"\u003e\"accidentally\"\u003c\/i\u003e vanish a volunteer's money, bringing the total known ways to do that to about three. \u003cbr abp=\"3274\"\u003e\u003cbr abp=\"3275\"\u003eYou'll see Steve's whole show on this disc, with real laughs and real astonishment from a real audience. No Loud \u0026amp; Loopy reactions, (like on other discs) and no breaks for explanations, so your friends can enjoy the show from beginning to end. Later, you can select the explanations and learn how a master mixes magic with mayhem, and still manages to get the girl in the end. \u003cbr abp=\"3276\"\u003e\u003cbr abp=\"3277\"\u003eBut it's not just laughs. \u003cb abp=\"3278\"\u003eFreedom\u003c\/b\u003e, a.k.a. \u003cb abp=\"3279\"\u003ethe Mayhew Poker Deal\u003c\/b\u003e, is the \u003ci abp=\"3280\"\u003eultimate\u003c\/i\u003e demonstration of false dealing, in which you appear to deal not just from the middle, but from random positions throughout the deck; 3rd, 6th, 35th, 49th or whatever, when all you can really deal is a second. Best of all, its so clear and simple that audiences with no knowledge of cards instantly understand what's going on. \u003cbr abp=\"3281\"\u003e\u003cbr abp=\"3282\"\u003eAnd for the working pros there's \u003cb abp=\"3283\"\u003eFull Frontal Conus\u003c\/b\u003e, in which Steve says he'll steal the aces out from under the spectator's hand, then does it. He warns the audience that he's going to do it again. He then teases them mercilessly, by apparently shifting the deck, or dealing off the bottom, but every time they check, they find the aces on the table, right where they should be. Finally, while everyone is burning the cards, Steve gives them to the spectator. She deals the aces herself, and immediately covers them with her hand. Nothing could be fairer, and then Steve steals the aces again. \u003cbr abp=\"3284\"\u003e\u003cbr abp=\"3285\"\u003eThis is the Conus Aces, a routine revered, even feared, by generations of performers. While most accomplished magicians can handle the moves, only an elite few know how to manipulate the audience through serial sucker tricks, culminating in a hands-off miracle. Steve handles this with fun and charm, and teaches the critical points that get the audience to trust you even after they've been repeatedly punk'd and pwn'd. \u003cbr abp=\"3286\"\u003e\u003cbr abp=\"3287\"\u003eAnd if that's not enough, Steve tips four more commercial routines from his working repertoire that are as unique and fun to do as their names suggest: \u003cb abp=\"3288\"\u003eThree by Three\u003c\/b\u003e (aka \u003cb abp=\"3289\"\u003ea Balloon, a Cartwheel, and a Pony Ride\u003c\/b\u003e); \u003cb abp=\"3290\"\u003eThe James Brown Aces, Delores in the Meadow\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb abp=\"3291\"\u003eThe Sanborn Switch\u003c\/b\u003e. Okay, maybe not so much with that last one, so we've also included a bonus interview with Steve, outtakes, and, we're pretty sure, the first use of the word \"crunk\" on a magic video. \u003cbr abp=\"3292\"\u003e\u003cbr abp=\"3293\"\u003eRunning Time \u003ci abp=\"3294\"\u003eApproximately\u003c\/i\u003e: 1 Hr 21 mins.","brand":"The Magic Bakery - Steve Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43681412120809,"sku":"MR49526","price":11.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6842\/6416\/files\/Totally-Whacked-by-Steve-Mayhew-and-The-Magic-Bakery.png?v=1710378639"}],"url":"https:\/\/deinparadies.ch\/collections\/the-magic-bakery-steve-brooks.oembed","provider":"Deinparadies.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
