Trick of the Month – March 2010

More recommendations from Bicycle-Cards.co.uk – this month a few ‘oldies’ but goodies!

Extreme Cuts with KeoneI have a confession to make. Though I love Bicycle Card Magic, I am not much into XCM (extreme card magic). However, I know many of you are, and this classic DVD has all the card flourishes you could want, and is currently HALF PRICE at only £11.49.

Bicycle Rainbow Deck and DVD
This factory produced Rainbow Deck in Bicycle cards comes with some special gaff cards and an instructional DVD for £21.99

In my continuing quest (crusade sounds too grand) to encourage people to read good magic books, I want to mention this gem by one of our home grown talents, Guy Hollingworth. This is a beautiful book in every way – well-written, well-illustrated, and with some amazing card magic within its pages. I’ve had the privilege of seeing Guy perform some of this stuff and it really is brilliant. £26.99

The beautiful card magic of Guy Hollingworth

The man is a bit of a legend to my mind, and his Drawing Room Deceptions is a book I treasure, even if most of the material is too hard for me! He recently did an interesting piece on the BBC about copyright in magic and the article includes two nice videos of him performing, including the infamous ‘Reparation’ – check it out at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7722521.stm.
