Everything you need to know is explained on a the instructional DVD that is included in this one price! Watch the video of these two great effects.
In the 70 year history of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, no other magician has ever been awarded the first prize in BOTH sleight of Hand and Stage magic. In the 75 year history of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians only five magicians have ever reached a level of excellence to merit the awarding of the Grand Prix D'Honeur. In fact Shawn is the only magician in the past two decades to be given this honor.After all...it's his job!
If you can't laugh at yourself. You're just not getting the joke!
