{"product_id":"dbroadveg","title":"The Five Roads to Vegas | Michael Breggar - (Download)","description":"\u003cb\u003eA broad range of outstanding, sleight-free magic from award-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Linking Ring\u003c\/i\u003e Auto-Magic columnist, Michael Breggar. The clichés about \"self-working magic\" say that this allows the magician to concentrate on the performance, but Michael contends that since the performance is the effect, the tricks need to be clever, layered, deceptive, and most of all, entertaining. While some methods require easy moves, performance is always more important.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSeveral of the tricks in \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Five Roads to Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e are re-edited versions of the most commented-upon and most requested tricks from \u003ci\u003eThe Linking Ring\u003c\/i\u003e column. The title effect was published in \u003ci\u003eGenii Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and has been used successfully as an opener in many professional acts. The rest are all new and published here for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While Michael takes you through each effect with careful descriptions and well-crafted patterns, you will soon fit each effect to your own style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe reviews have been outstanding!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Michael Breggar's \u003cb\u003eThe Five Roads to Vegas\u003c\/b\u003e is a joy. Within its 43 pages, there eight effects with a variety of objects, three bonus effects that are variations on the ACAAN theme and two essays. Several of these were previously published, but that is of no consequence; they all bear reprinting. Well written, well researched and an entertaining read. I have always said that if you can get one effect that you will use from a book, it was worth buying. This one goes far beyond that goal. There are five Here that I will be performing for 'real people' and I imagine more than one of them will occupy a permanent spot in my repertoire. I highly recommend this book.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003eMarc DeSouza\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"Grounded in dependable principles and enticing premises, these thirteen presentations are doubly pleasurable because practitioners and spectators can and will equally and effortlessly savor them.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eJon Racherbaumer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"Michael Breggar brings his experience as a columnist, performer, and creator on the printed page, filled with fun, doable, and inspiring ideas.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003eJohn Guastaferro\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"Michael Breggar constantly amazes, astonishes and fascinates me. I'm amazed by the elegant simplicity of his effects, I am astonished that he can create such well thought-out miracles every month for his column, and I am fascinated by how the range of his magic incorporates various principles that others have forgotten, overlooked or undervalued. His title effect, \u003cb\u003eFive Roads to Vegas\u003c\/b\u003e , ranks alongside any of those performed by John Guastaferro, and his 'Absolutely ACAANY' clearly demonstrates he can go toe-to-toe with any of the big names in magic.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003eMichel W.

You play the role of a Vegas croupier dealing cards to a \"poker team\" of five spectators. As you deal down cards from a shuffled deck, the five \"players\" yell STOP at any time. The cards they stopped at randomly comprise a royal flush. But wait... you have predicted which of the five players would stop at which of the five royal flush cards! And as an extra surprise, the other 47 cards in the deck are blank!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThree Numbers and a Lady:\u003c\/b\u003e A \"triple prediction\" effect that solves the issue of the typical \"weak\" third prediction.

What starts as a funny lecture in Global Economics (yeah, really!), turns into a stunningly, multi-phase prediction effect. Great for stand-up and stage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrawing on Emotions:\u003c\/b\u003e The drawing duplication effect that Michael uses in his parlor and stage acts. Can easily be adapted for close-up and walk-around. It is direct, clear and limitless. Above all, it is organic and doesn't feel like \"a trick.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Principle in Search of an Effect:\u003c\/b\u003e A bare-bones prediction effect is used here to illustrate a little-used principle that has Gilbreath DNA. Readers are invited to turn their imagination spigots on high to make this a miracle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMonopoly SP:\u003c\/b\u003e \"The cure for the common boring game.\" A fun mentalism routine right off your game shelf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSelf-Fulfilling Prophesy:\u003c\/b\u003e ​​Takes Bill Simon's wonderful \"Prophesy\" move to a new level.
