Chris Capehart’s 3 Ring Routine
Ever since my Magic Circle Young Magician on the Year Act (many many years ago now) I have had a standard Linking Rings routine. But no matter what little twists I added to the routine, I could bring it to life as much as I thought the classic effect deserved. While browsing in a magic [...]
Tommy Wonder – Visions of Wonder
Before viewing this set of DVDs, I had never seen Tommy Wonder perform. My only encounter with his material was from his book and this (I hate saying it now) I found pretty dry and hard going. Watching the man in action however is a revelation. The magic is strong almost to the point of [...]

Doc Eason’s Bar Magic DVD
I was really expecting great things from this set of three DVDs. Doc Eason has a big reputation as a great Close-up/Bar magician and the adverts for these recordings talk about ‘the real work’.
