An intimate opportunity to learn from one of magic's greatest teachers, this DVD will help you think about your performing style, and grow as a magical presenter. We all know plenty of tricks, but how can we turn them into memorable magic? In this DVD session, Eugene Burger explores that topic, and provides specific examples-including fully developed routines that you can adapt for your own performances. THE BLACK ENVELOPE VARIATIONS A classic (and amazing) prediction of a playing card, explained in detail with discussions of eight different presentational approaches, including:

Eugene has invested a great amount of thought into getting the most impact out of his presentation, and now he shares it with you. plus- INVISIBILITY POWDERDiscover how a simple presentational premise can turn a good trick into great one. plus- OB-SER-VOInspired by a Robert Neale effect, this was developed as a "message" routine for corporate performances. Over time it has evolved into one of the strongest audience participation routines in the Burger repertoire. plus- OUT OF THIS WORLD Years of exploring countless versions of this Paul Curry classic have led to this approach. Eugene explains that journey. Problems are solved and strengths are emphasized, and the results are both practical and impressive. Running Time Approximately 71min
