Curtis Kam - Palms Of Steel 4

product description:


Curtis Kam's Palms of Steel 4：Cashablanca
From all over the world， coin tricks come to Cashablanca fleeing the Gaffed Coin Gestapo and the tyranny of the EZ to Master race. Here， they struggle to become pure sleight-of-hand Magic; earning their passage to audiences in the free world. Hidden away from the distractions of a phony studio audience， Curtis Kam performs and explains the tricks that have earned their letters of transit：

Ilsa's Appearance

The audience is teased into watching you pull invisible coins from the air， and spread them into a fan. Just when they're convinced that your hands are empty and you're pulling their legs， BAM--three silver dollars pop into view.

Just when they're sure it'll never happen， the money appears， like the girl you left behind. This could be the beginning of a beautiful coin trick.

Cashablanca Coins Across

Follow Ilsa with the perfect working man's coins across--three ordinary coins， no risky moves. Do it standing， sleeveless， table-less， topless， for brooding loners or the whole German army. Features the latest in American edge grip technology， (but the angles are 100% practical) the revolutionary "In Closing" steal， and a new breed of retention pass that fools the mind， not the eye.

Three Coins Across， sweet and simple. Americans love simple things with money. Paris Hilton， for example. We'll always have Paris.

The Greatest ($3) Show on Earth

Three coins take the stage like clowns from a tiny car. The youngest tumbles and rolls; his brothers do a fingertip trapeze act. Put away in your pockets， they jump back to the stage then fly like human cannonballs， appearing under， on top of， and inside a coin purse. A full routine with all the action of a three-ring circus， daring new techniques， and a built-in storyline that can be either circus or Cirque， as you wish.

Play It Again， Kam (Another Hard Way) / Excellent Birds

Seven coins ooze out of your empty hands， into a nifty display position， no less. From there， you perform the classic "Flying Eagles" with an upgrade to the 21st century. A new take on a classic， with killer convincers and a Harbottle finish.

I'm no good at being noble， but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little coins don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. But seven coins， now that gets my attention.

Triple Alliance 2.0

This advanced， enhanced handling of Triple Alliance (from Palms of Steel 3： Silverado) is the only Copper/Silver/Brass where the audience hears the first transpo， sees the second， feels the third， and then experiences the rare and elusive triple transposition. Brought to you through virtuoso routining and the simplest of gaffs， it's a visual， audible， tactile feast for the senses that stops short of total sensory immersion only because the coins all taste about the same.

BONUS： International Solid ThreeFly (Reed McClintock)

Three different coins fly from the fingertips of one hand to the other. That simply. No moves， no feints， no pauses， no dumb gags， no trips to the pockets， all visible， and when the last coin goes， you're clean. Reed figures that the only reason to use a gaff is if it produces an illusion this good. Why pay more for gaffed coins that do less?

If you don't get this video， you'll regret it. Maybe not today， maybe not tomorrow， but soon and for the rest of your life. Here's looking at you， kid.

WHAT THE PROS SAY：

I just finished watching "Palms of Steel 4"， I must say Curtis Kam has outdone himself. Coin magic for everyone...from the beginner to the advanced， geared for the table worker!

The production of this DVD has to be one of the finest I have ever seen...Spielberg would be proud! The graphics are quite entertaining as well...right down to the rolling credits.

BTW， Reed McClintock makes a guest appearance with a very nice coin effect (I won't say what it is as I don't want to spoil the surprise) I highly recommend this (as well as anything put out by the Magic Bakery) for anyone looking to advance their coin work! -Mike Gallo
