The World-Renowned Magic of Paul Potassy 3 DVD Set A Master Magician Reveals a Lifetime of Secrets for the Very First Time on Video! Paul Potassy has been called "a master of magical minimalism with maximum impact." He has performed for 66 years in 44 different countries, for celebrities, heads of state and even the Pope. He speaks six languages fluently and has been called "the Maurice Chevalier of magic" and " Europe 's most successful cabaret magician of the last fifty years" by famed British magic producer John Fisher. In this very special DVD set, you're about to meet an extraordinary man and watch and learn the thoroughly entertaining and baffling material that came of his lifelong love affair with magic. Top-name magicians flew in from all over to witness this monumental event - Paul Potassy committing this material to video for the very first time - and you're about to see why. In Volume One, you'll see the act that made Paul Potassy's international reputation. Then, you'll get to meet the man himself as you're treated to an in-depth interview conducted by Max Maven. In Volume Two, you'll learn the diabolical details of the Potassy act as each trick, including every detail of its preparation and performance, is laid out in exacting detail. Finally, in Volume Three, you'll be treated to more magic from Potassy's vast repertoire. Then, after you're left shaking your head following the performance, you'll be taken backstage and shown the inner workings of these extremely strong performance pieces. Volume One - The Paul Potassy Show SYMPATHETIC SILKS - One of Potassy's signature effects and the one he always uses to open his show. Two sets of scarves mysteriously tie and untie under increasingly humorous conditions. For the finish, all the scarves instantly tie themselves together! THE RAZOR BLADES - An amazing updating to a classic effect of magic. The performer apparently swallows a large number of sharp razor blades and a length of thread. When the thread is pulled from the mouth, the razor blades are seen tied to it. PICKPOCKET - Under the guise of helping with a card trick, two spectators find themselves in a hilarious situation as the performer repeatedly produces cards from their jackets and pockets. The performer then begins to produce personal items that he apparently lifted from the spectators, ending with an amazing wristwatch steal. NEWSPAPER TEAR - A section of newspaper is torn into pieces and then restored. The performer offers to explain how it's done but the explanation leaves the audience even more amazed and baffled! BILL IN POTATO - A borrowed bill is initialed, the serial number noted and then subsequently vanished. It is miraculously found to be in the middle of a potato freely chosen by a member of the audience! SING-SING - A chosen card, signed by two spectators, is shuffled back into the deck only to be found not just in the performer's wallet but between two metal plates that are completely sealed with rubber bands in both directions! THE PREDICTION - One spectator chooses a book from a stack of normal paperback books and a word from that book while another chooses the name of one of the world's great cities. The performer opens an envelope that was in plain view throughout the performance and it's found that he's correctly predicted both spectators' choices! THE CARDS IN THE BUCKET - A card is selected and shuffled back into the deck and the cards are then cascaded into a champagne bucket. The performer lowers a length of rope into the bucket and when he pulls it back up, the selected card is found to have been lassoed. THE ENCORE CARD STAB - A card is chosen and after it's lost back into the deck, the cards are spread face down on a table. The performer is blindfolded yet manages to find the card by impaling it on the tip of a knife. POTASSY ... read more
