Now is your chance to perform one of the most talked about routines from the critically acclaimed "Educating Archer" DVD. John Archer's "Chinese Choice" is not just a trick - it is a powerhouse of a routine that blends comedy and mentalism to perfection.

If the name John Archer is not enough to make you buy this effect immediately then read on to find out more about this eagerly anticipated release…

Three spectators are brought on stage and invited to take a traditional Chinese meal in a way they used to do thousands of years ago…

You explain that the ancient Chinese were great mathematicians and believers in numerology. Often numbers were used to help make even the most mundane of choices. Why else would all the items on a Chinese menu be numbered? Hence you explain that you are going to show them how the ancient Chinese would decide what to do when going out for a meal.

One of the spectators is given a small packet of plastic number cards to shuffle. They now choose one person who will be in charge of the menu, while the other two are in charge of setting the amount they will pay for the meal.

The menu is shown as representing the restaurant they will visit. The three spectators are given three cards each and two of them take turns to make up three two-digit numbers.

These two digit numbers are added together to arrive at a total and a decimal point is added to form a price to spend on the meal - but alas! It is incredibly low! £1.65! The prospect of a good meal does not look hopeful!

The third spectator now adds up his three cards to come up with a number, to represent a dish on the menu. When they check out the menu they see that all other menu items are normal, however item number 15 is an 'Eat as much as you like buffet for three people, cost - £1.65.'

INCLUDES TWO CUSTOM PRINTED MENUS - A LARGE ONE FOR STAGE & POCKET SIZED VERSION FOR CLOSE UP - PLASTIC NUMBER CARDS - FULL INSTRUCTIONS & ROUTINE

Alakazam Magic is proud to announce that we are now the Exclusive UK dealer for the fantastic creations of Masuda.

Your spectators will be saying "WOW" when they see this incredibly visual card change, which happens right in front of there eyes!

If you saw this on TV you would be sure it was a camera trick!

Imagine having a spectator freely select any card (no force). The card is signed and replaced back into the deck. You state that by magic you will make their card rise to the top of the deck. You snap your fingers and turn over the top card, while you are waiting for your big applause your spectator tells you it's not their card.

This indifferent card is slid into a paper-thin clear black plastic sleeve just large enough to hold the card.

While the sleeve is held between thumb and forefinger, and with no hand movement of any kind, the indifferent card slowly and visibly changes into the signed selection!

The spectator can remove the card himself. There is nothing else in the sleeve!

This is one of the best effects I have seen in a long time and the guys here in the shop can't wait to get their hands on one!

Alakazam are proud to release the debut material by one of the best underground card magicians in the world: Benjamin Earl. For years, Ben has been one of Europe's top professional performers and innovative creators. Like many of these quiet achievers, he has previously avoided magicians, conventions and all attempts to get him to share his original material. Until now...

We can't tell you how we managed it, but you'll be very pleased that we did! This new DVD set comprises three volumes of startling, original material that will surely find its way into the repertoires of hobbyists and professionals alike.

Disc One features Ben's imaginative handlings for several of card magic's classic plots. Do we need new versions of Collectors, Hofzinser's Aces and Triumph? We do when they are this eye-popping! As well as these fantastic new approaches to traditional plots, this disc also contains many original flourishes and sleights as well as all the work on Ben's 'Stroke Change', which looks like trick-photography even when you know how it's done. Best of all, this incredible change, like almost all the material on this disc, is easily within the reach of any intermediate card handler.

Disc Two focuses on gambling and card table material. As a true student of the art, Ben has been refining and advancing card table artifice for many years. The finessed handlings and methodological advances that he demonstrates and teaches on this disc comprise some of the most important contributions to this branch of card magic by a new voice for many years. Fans of 'the real work' will be delighted by Ben's decision to share these prized techniques.

Disc Three contains a wealth of Ben's mental card magic, a style which he prefers to perform these days. There are several fantastic and totally practical handlings for Think-A-Card as well as versions of Mental Poker and Brainwave that break entirely new ground. Impossible Locations and Thought Card To Pocket handlings which fool absolutely everyone ensure that the only problem you'll have with Ben's material is which tricks to leave out of your performance!

One thing is for sure, whatever your interest in card magic, once you've watched these discs, you will never look at a deck the same way again...
