Part 2: A Voyage to the Unreal World

On this tape Eugene is also joined by Jeff McBride to explore his close-up magic that is offbeat, whimsical and decidedly strange. This journey begins with Flash Spirit Message , as efficient a link to the ghostly realm as you could ever ask for. In Double Reverse , a classic Walter Gibson effect that's been raised from a card trick into an evocative piece of intimate Spirit Theater (which includes Eugene's personal handling on Glorpy). Eugene's version of Al Baker's The Card in the Hat leads into a detailed discussion of advanced thread techniques. Jeff then shows what happens when Mark Twain meets Robert Neale, as he performs and explains The Five Gifts of Life . A darker humor is on display when Eugene teaches Phil Goldstein's The Wagers of Sin . And finally, there's a thorough analysis of Matt Schulien's superb Corner in the Glass .

And there's much more, because Eugene also offers special insights into presentational framing, rehearsal techniques, and the concepts and theories that transform magic into something significant.
