Ken Krenzel has been a respected innovator and leader in the field of sleight-of-hand magic for more than four decades and shares some of his most powerful and carefully guarded secrets with you.

In this hour-long visit with Dr. Krenzel and host Gary Ouellet, you'll learn novel ideas on moves and routines guaranteed to warm the heart of any close-up magic enthusiast.

Featured items include:

Bewildering Coin - A very clean coin vanish and a compelling illusion.

Versatile Krenzel Vanish - A coin is placed in the left hand, a pen is pushed through the hand, and then the coin is gone. This one can be performed in your birthday suit.

The Balducci Extraction - A closely-guarded secret of the legendary performer Ed Balducci (one of Ken's mentors), this is an exceptionally effective coin vanish.

New Concept Coin Vanish - A coin vanish guaranteed to fool everyone - including other magicians.

Dropsey Vanish - One coin is dropped into the other hand and then is simply gone though the coin is clearly seen falling into the receiving hand. A great illusion.

The Bloodhound Coin - A card is chosen and replaced in the deck. A coin is placed on the top of the deck and then vanished. It's found halfway down the deck, just above the selected card. The effect is repeated but this time, the coin is tossed into the air and falls into the deck just above the selection. The explanation also includes Ken's beautiful handling of the Bluff Pass, the most economical card control ever devised.

Krenzel Card Turnover - The Dingle/Schneider Pickup Move is known to all close-up magicians who have ever performed the classic Matrix. Now learn Ken's improvement, making the Pickup Move more deceptive than ever.

On The Ledge - Another classic effect is that of producing coins from between playing cards. This effect now becomes easier to execute using Ken's new 'ledge' concept.

Deck Slider - A coin placed on a deck of cards is slid into the other hand - and then vanishes. An eye-popping visual illusion.

The Krenzel Linking Ring Move - A unique interlude with two perfectly solid rings from a standard linking ring set. Your audience will swear that you pushed one ring right through the other.

The Marinonette Multiple Coin Vanish - This move has generated much talk among the experts since it was first published in Harry Lorayne's Apocalypse. See not one but several coins vanish in a baffling manner and then explained by its inventor.

Impromptu Zig Zag - A very clever deceptive transposition of two playing cards.
