Alakazam Magic is very proud to present The Classic Magic of Michael Vincent Volume 2
The material on this collection features some astonishing effects from Michael’s repertoire. “Rhapsodies in Silver” focuses on magical effects using coins, while “Other Mysteries” features some of Michael’s favourite card effects.
Volume 2 continues where the first volume left off with Michael taking you on an introspective journey into his world of magic. Over four DVDs, you will be privy to his thoughts, beliefs and values about the craft of magic. While the focus is on magic with coins and cards, you will also be exposed to a way of thinking, which can take your magic to another level. The pathway to excellence is all about having a road map and the terrain on this DVD has been laid for you to follow.
Michael amplifies his teaching and mentoring with the intention to leave you moved and inspired to become even better magicians.
