Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc. Jamy Ian Swiss A Masterclass in The Cups and Balls DVD Stage Parlor Performer

This is your chance to be part of a project that isn't just interesting or visual or exciting as a magic trick, it is important. This DVD -- an hour-long masterclass by one of the finest teachers in magic, all on the Cups and Balls -- is important. Very, very few people get the opportunity to study with Jamy Ian Swiss. This DVD lets us peer into the studio and spend an hour with him on a topic of which he is an undisputed master: the Cups and Balls. The DVD features his routine (which is based on Dai Vernon's classic), but also highlights moments and ideas from other influential past masters and routines. Jamy's final load sequence (which includes a terrific, detailed discussion of liquid loads) is invaluable to the serious student, as is his discussion of timing, misdirection, and routine construction. The theoretical is demonstrated and shown through the material, and this DVD works on two levels: you learn the Cups and Balls along with Mr. Swiss, and on a more fundamental level, you get a chance to observe a master at work, discussing the decisions he made in this routine, and how he came to them. Don't miss this opportunity to spend an hour with one of the living greats, as he entertains, instructs, and informs you with his distinctive and expert handling of the Cups and Balls. He teaches you his full routine, from start to finish. (However, please note that permission to use Jamy's scripting is not provided; that is for your entertainment only). "The Cups and Balls has been a passion of mine since childhood. My routine, the result of more than 20 years of study and development, and more than another 30 years of refining and performance, is truly near and dear to my heart. Over those many years I have shared the details and my personal innovations with the tiniest handful of colleagues, like Johnny Thompson, Bob White, and Roberto Giobbi.
