Dual Control Review

First the limitations. You need to be wearing a jacket, do some minor sewing and take time to set up. Also there is a get ready that needs to be done on an off beat. It requires a little practice but it is practical and easy to hide. The good points. It is invisible, you end clean at the end of every routine and there are a number of different routines presented. Also this is a utility gimmick so there are possibilities for inventing your own special uses. You will need to prepare a separate Dual Control for every jacket you want to use it with. It comes with the supplies for one jacket but the required items are easily and inexpensively obtainable and the sewing required is simple and should not require a tailor.
This is an item that can be comfortably be left permanently in a jacket, ready at a moment's notice but not in the way if you aren't going to use it. Once installed it should last for a long time and as described would be easy to replace if ever needed.

The Dual Control gimmick has been synonymous with seemingly impromptu suspensions and close up animations for many years but in recent years has been overlooked by many modern day performers....Until now!!

Michael Vincent is back to bring you the most detailed look at this fabulous utility gimmick to date and after years of using and refining the technique and uses of the Dual Control gimmick, you can be sure that this is the definitive work on DVD.

In his third Alakazam Magic release, Michael is joined once again by Chris Harding to not only show you exactly how to construct the gimmick and discuss its basic uses but in addition, you will also learn several high-calibre effects that will have you creating miracles with the Dual Control system in no time at all and really fire up your imagination.

Learn the wonderful pencils suspension and also what we consider to be one of the finest ways to open at a restaurant or banquet table with perfect motivation and set the mood of magic straight away with Michael's own personal opener - the spoon suspension - which is discussed in full detail within this context and how you too can use it to introduce yourself, establish your credentials as a magician and create a wonderful moment of magic immediately.

Another highlight of this project is that you will get to learn possibly the greatest version of the rising card ever! Michael shares the full method and presentation, along with all his tips and subtleties, on Alan Alan's legendary rising card trick that is performed with a regular, borrowed deck! This masterpiece is as powerful on stage as it is in close up and as a bonus on the DVD, you will get a rare opportunity to see Alan Alan performing the routine, live on stage at the world famous Magic Circle in London, England.

The package comes complete with everything needed to construct the Dual Control gimmick and also includes the detailed instructional DVD that runs for over an hour and will take you step by step through the construction process, lots of tips and advice on using your Dual Control gimmick as well as full routines that you will be performing in no time!
