Alakazam Magic is very proud to present the magical artistry of Michael Vincent.
Once in every generation is born an individual whose work becomes known worldwide as a touchstone for excellence. With the hands of an artist and the soul of a poet, Michael is just such an individual.
His sleight-of-hand is masterful, his presentations are inventive, and his performances are the epitome of class and sophistication.
As the only magician in history to have won the prestigious title of "Magic Circle Close-up Magician of the Year" three times, Michael has spent the better part of three decades honing his skills to become one of finest magicians that Great Britain has ever produced.
This DVD collection showcases his world-class magic in front of a live audience and features some of the most stunning magic ever filmed. As you watch it, you will experience for yourself why Michael's extraordinary presentations are regarded by audiences and fellow professionals alike as some of the very best in the world today.
Disc One - Michael's Parlour Show
Routines Performed and Explained:
The Intuition Speller
Inspired by an original effect of Harry Lorayne's, Michael introduces you to a Machiavellian piece of misdirection which creates an impossible spelling effect.
Kismet
Michael's impromptu handling for Al Koran's Double Thought, featuring a wonderful strategy of Dai Vernon and audience management.
My Card, Your Card, Everybody's Card
The history for this effect can be traced back to Robert Houdin's "Secrets of Conjuring and Magic". Michael's handling and presentation brings this ancient effect right up to date for the 21st Century. This routine features Michael's handling for the obscure Second-From-The-Top-Change.
The Amazing Discovery
This popular effect has made rounds in the last few years. Michael shares his professional presentation. His handling and performance tips elevate The Multiple Selection routine to another level. His performance in the live show was a tour de force.
Plus, bonus performances of: The Rhapsody in Silver, The Cups and Balls and The Knotted Silks.
Disc Two - Close-up Show in The Bar
Routines Performed and Explained:
Brainwave "My Way"
This routine is one of the highlights of this DVD. International card expert Darwin Ortiz had this to say about Michael's Brainwave: "Sleight of Hand techniques have reached such a point, you'll never need to present the classic Brainwave with a gimmick deck ever again. This routine is just about perfect".
Michael has taken Dai Vernon's "Brainwave" effect and turned it on its head into masterpiece of construction and design. With this routine, you will come to appreciate "The Power of Assumptions" and "Audience Attention Control". Also featured is an underused principle in magic, creating an effect in the mind of the audiences before any technique has taken place. This principle alone is worth the price of this DVD presentation for it opens up untold possibilities.
Pandora's Paradox
There is a world of difference between a card trick and card magic. This routine pushes the boundaries in terms of what is possible with a deck of cards. With credit to Bruno Hennig, Tommy Wonder and Roberto Giobbi, Michael has taken the classic "Signed Card in Box" and amplified the effect with an elegant presentation and technical mastery. He produces an experience equal to any theatrical presentation. We think this routine will become a huge favorite.
Vincent's Aces
Featuring: The Ace Production, "The Rising Aces", 21st Century Collectors, Cy Enfield's Aces for Connoisseurs, and The Henry Christ Fabulous Four Ace Routine.
Foursome
Featuring Michael's handling for the Spread Cull.
Match Made in Heaven

Prologue to Triumph
If you enjoyed Dai Vernon's original "Triumph", then you will love Michael's build up to this classic effect. This routine features some interesting applications for Larry Jennings's Larreverse and Edward Marlo's "One Hand Bottom Deal".
Plus, bonus performance only of: The Coins Across/Chinese Connection and a discussion on the inspirations for the routine, including learning references. Also, a bonus PDF teaching the Wild Card routine featuring Michael's breathtaking color change.
