No Camera Tricks by Richard Osterlind

4 videos.

Richard Osterlind Keeps Getting Better! I’m a big fan of Richard Osterlind. However, I must admit to thinking that after the 11 other DVD’s I have of his that there would be a lot of repetition in this offering. How wrong could I be! Not only is there plenty of new material on these DVD’s the performances are amazing!

I was totally on the edge of my seat for the Rubiks cube demonstration and was cheering at the end. VooDoo had me scrambling to buy two Viking Card boxes and chilled me to the bone! Pegasus Page totally fooled me! Dracual/Errata is just beautiful, the list goes on and on. Time and time again when you think you have seen all Richard has to offer, you find he has plenty more in the wings.

A selected page vanishes from a book being held by one person and reappears between 2 pieces of cardboard held by another spectator! This secret is worth the price of the series!

Video Two

RichardWave – The Brainwave effect has always been considered one of magic’s best illusions. Here is Richard’s version where any card named in the only red backed card in a blue deck.
