Announcing a NEW workshop for magicians in the Los Angeles area. Wonder Workshop is a four week crash course which will help you plot a new direction for your magic.

Perform the routines for the group and John will offer suggestions and guidance.

Subjects include:

  • Creativity: How to add personal touches to routines you already do, and how to create new and original material. We will also brainstorm on your ideas, fleshing them out, and making them work!
  • Approach to Study: how to get the most out of your study and practice.
  • Presentation: Write presentations for routines, and learn better stage craft that will make your act more professional.
  • Technique: Demonstrations of basic techniques and the secrets to making them more effective. We will also work with individuals who are trying to learn specific techniques.
  • Misdirection: What is it, and how to apply it.
  • History: Where does all this stuff come from? How can we learn from and apply it to our performances?

Commercial Carney DVD

Magic from Carneycopia. Includes an Aces up the Sleeve routine, a very direct version of the Oil and Water plot with a great finish, a prediction effect with cards, a flashy production of four jokers which change to aces, pieces of paper magically jump off the floor and on to a knife blade, and a coins across routine using bullets, climaxing with a bang and the performer catching the bullet in his teeth. This is great, commercial magic.

Classic Carney DVD

More magic from Carneycopia. Includes the Napkin Trilogy, an impromptu animated matchbox, a revolutionary display for changing the colors of cards, a chop cup routine with a borrowed bill and a coffee cup, climaxing with the appearance of a lemon around the bill, a visible Triumph effect and the impossible bare handed vanish and reproduction of two coins.

Chicarnery DVD

Further magic from Carneycopia. An Everywhere and Nowhere routine with a surprising finish, a Borrowed Bill in Pen routine, the production of a pack of cards, the penetration of a stack of quarters through a spectator's hand, a color change routine with cards, and the clean and amazing transposition of the red and black aces. Also advice on the classic pass and side steal.
