After years of research and performing, Perseus Arkomanis brings you the ultimate sleeving technique.

LIGHTSPEED!!!

A masterclass to the fastest and most invisible sleeving technique there is!
With LIGHTSPEED you will be able to do what most magicians only dream of!

Perform all the classics of coin magic but be open and clean!:
  • Copper-Silver! (no gimmicks)
  • Visual Coin Through Glass Table
  • Coin in Bottle (requires gimmick)
  • One Coin Flurry


And Perseus' pet routines such as:
  • "Coins through Hanky" where 3 coins pass through a Table napkin held by two spectators!
  • "Coin Smash" where you borrow a coin and smash it to a table or in your hand to create change!
  • "Smash Undone" where you take the change you just created, put them in your hand and mold them back to the original coin!
  • "Simple Coin Vanish" where you just hold a coin and close your fingers around it and it vanishes!


Also versatile moves like:
  • "The Strike Banish" A great take on David Williamsons' "Strike Vanish" where you end up clean!
  • "Spoon forking" A switch of a spoon to a fork while acting as if you're going to bend it!
  • "Spoon writing" A wonderful gag where you give a spoon to a spectator to sign a card and change it into a pen when you realize the mistake!
  • "Pen to Pen Switch" For all the mentalists out there that want their double-writing routine to have the two writings be completely different!


AND MANY MORE!!!
  • Practice drills!
  • In depth analysis of the psychology and mechanics of sleeving!


When the top Sleevers of the world saw lightspeed, this is what they said:

CAN BE DONE WITH ANY KIND OF SLEEVE!!!

If you really want to take your magic to a whole new level you better start sleeving stuff!

And do it...in LIGHTSPEED!

This is one of the best DVDs you will find on the technique on this utility sleight. There is a very good reason that he has some of the heavy hitters in magic giving their approval, not the least of which is...

The ad copy. It is 100% accurate and you are getting a whole lot more than just that.

The DVD is very well produced - great sound, crisp and clear audio and video and the instruction is fantastic!

The technique itself is not new and I have been using it for years, but I have already seen a vast improvement in certain aspects when I started using the adjustments and other subtleties that Perseus has added to the technique. Along with topits and memorized stacks, this is one of the most powerful tools a magician can use.

He shows you how to do the move, what not to do and he even gives you a very good way to practice it in the form of practice drills. If you follow his instructions and give it the practice it deserves, you will be able to do this very well. It will take plenty of practice - this is not something you will get down to an acceptably proficient level in a few days. Because of the level of instruction, this DVD is suited to just about all skill levels but I would suggest that beginners learn other techniques before attempting to conquer something like this.

He gives a bunch of ways to use the technique with coins, pens, markers, silverware and even a way to use it with certain mentalism effects! Who knew?!

The effects that he teaches are not new either, but in using this utility technique he absolutely makes some of them even cleaner and much stronger - the Coin in Bottle is very magical looking! My other favorites were the Copper/Silver and the Coin Through Glass Table. Great material here!

If you have ever studied videos on this technique, especially those from Carl Cloutier, Johan Stahl and Rocco Silano, you will get a lot of mileage out of the instruction and the material on this DVD as well.

At the end and just for kicks, while this and other versions of the technique normally require a jacket, Perseus comes back on camera just to prove that the technique works with any type of long sleeve, except the tight-fitting ones, which should be obvious anyway.

VERY highly recommended!
