"This is a superior product on many levels and a delightful change of pace from standard magic video fare." |
In October 2002 the ten-man team of Germany's best close-up magicians known as "The Flicking Fingers" set out on a ten-day tour for a number of public shows and convention appearances. Lucky for us, they were accompanied by a professional film crew and the result is The Flicking Fingers Movie-a DVD like no other you have ever seen.
Follow the Flicking Fingers on their incredibly entertaining European road trip. Meet the goofy Gisbert and Gimmick-Man, watch magic TV ads and many more surprises! The Movie contains over 20 terrific routines, tricks, and moves showcased in a 2 1/2 hour road movie including the most entertaining explanations ever seen on a magic DVD and one hour of bonus materials like: the FISM acts of Pit Hartling, Jorg Alexander, Nicolai Friedrich, Thomas Fraps and more, plus out-takes, trailers and much more.
The Flicking Fingers is a team of ten of Germany's best close-up magicians, known to the magic community most from their unforgettable FISM '97 group lecture, as winners of Seigfried and Roy's 1998 Sarmoti Award and from their highly acclaimed "The Book-or don't forget to point" published in 1998. In October 2002 the team set out on a ten-day tour with a number of public shows and convention appearances. They were accompanied by a professional film crew and the result is this truly unique DVD.

The first volume was an incredible best seller. One the best videos of 2006! Now, get ready for Volume Two!
Table-hopping or restaurant magic have nothing to do with the kind of close-up magic you might perform for your friends: The professional magician has to entertain people who are not expecting him. He has to use simple and commercial tricks in difficult conditions: Lack of lighting, lack of space, lots of noise.
Besides tricks, David Stone, FISM Award winner 2006, gives you lots of tips for starting your career as a professional magician.
Produced and directed by Jean-Luc Bertrand, this DVD offers a new way of learning magic. He found a funny mix between non stop entertaining while teaching magic. Tricks with: cards, coins, ropes, bottles, glasses, banknotes, napkins, cigarettes, roses, improvised magic and sponge balls. Recommended by Thorsten Happel of NYC.
