A Card Magic Instructional DVD I Produced
« on: June 15, 2009, 09:02:51 AM »
Back in 2005, my friend and I were financially destitute with no hope for the future.  Sooo... we created a 3.5 hour, 2-disk card magic instructional dvd set which we hoped would make us millionaires.  It didn't.

I still have a huge box of these dvds here which were never sold.

If you're interested in card magic, even in the slightest, then download these free dvd image files which I'll link to at the end of this post.  It will certainly take a while for them to download, so after you click the link, go have a pee or something.

I did all of the directing, editing, and production while my friend (the guy you actually SEE in the video) came up with the card magic effects.

Disc 1 is a DVD encyclopedia of card sleights broken down by each sleight in the menu.
Disc 2 is where we show people how to take these sleights into the real world and put them to use on the street.

If you find something about my editing/production that you don't like, please take into account the fact that this was my first foray into the video editing world.  However, I must say that the only thing I'm really bothered by is my camera work.  I wasn't as steady with it as I would like to have been at times.  Otherwise, I think this dvd set is a home run.  Enjoy.

Seems to be about 4 gigs total. I have probably a gig and a half on my HDD free right now, but after I clear up some space I'll check it out...(too many game ISOs and pr0n.)

by the way... feel free to tell those you know about these iso files and link to them.  i'm sure there are a LOT of people out there who would find this useful, and if you actually had to pay for a similar product it would be worth about $80 per unit due to the nature of the content... so this free download is a pretty sweet deal for anybody who wants to learn card magic.

also, with the amount of bandwidth this will consume, i hope to make my hosting company actually WORK for the money i've been giving them for almost 3 years.

All I know is when I d/l anything from ufoship.com it stays at a steady 1 Mbps, which is better than I usually get from anyone unless we're directly connected.

i use hostgator and they've been a pretty good hosting company for me.  they've even fixed a lot of things for me over the years that weren't really their responsibility to fix.

Speaking of toasters - did I tell you all my toaster oven BLEW UP!?  It must not have made much noise - thought there were people in the hall and a brief electrical storm so maybe I was tuning noise out.  But i was sitting here in the back of my apartment on my computer - and when i thought my chicken breast was done - I went to get it - and the GLASS form the front of the oven was all over my counter!

HOLLY CRAP!
