John Carney is widely acknowledged by his peers as a modern master of sleight of hand. In these videos, John offers twelve lessons, most of which have never appeared in book or video before.

In each installment, Carney demonstrates universal principles which are applicable to any magic you undertake. This is the next best thing to private instruction with John, at a fraction of the cost for a single lesson.

This is “A” Material from John’s repertoire – not trendy magic “products,” gimmicks, or silly rehashes. John will lead you through his process as he demonstrates how to make your own material evolve, through thoughtful creative choices.

Carney 2013 Overview


Lesson Descriptions:

moraball

Mora Ball Routine

Think you know the classic Mora Balls and Net? John reveals the secrets of making a simple trick into something truly magical. This is very commercial, visual magic, that packs small, and plays big.

Three roulette balls are magically produced, one at a time, in a very clean manner. They then inexplicably disappear from one hand to reappear in the other. One of the balls is placed in the pocket, but still, three remain. This is repeated, each time, stressing the fairness, and yet three always remain. Finally all three balls disappear at once.

As simple as the plot may sound, John’s handling gets a tremendous reaction through his streamlined handling, and his focus on simplicity, naturalness, and application of “changing the moment”. (34:50)

Fixing Fundamentals

Polish your technique like a pro! Sometimes what holds us back are the tiny details missing from the tools we use everyday. Proper technique achieves a consistent outcome by paying attention, “even to trifles,” essential incremental adjustments that separate the experts from the dilettantes. Fix these fundamentals, and everything you do looks more polished and professional.

Tips and touches to improve; Top Change; Glide; Palming; Counts; Double Lift; Crimps; False Shuffle; Force; Side Steal; The Pass … and much more to learn in the process!
