Alex Elmsley Lecture by Alex Elmsley

Alex Elmsley was one of the most influential thinkers in the history of card magic. When he passed away in 2006 (has it been that long?), we lost a true legend, and all of us lost the opportunity to spend time with him.

But in a way, we still can. Late in life Colin Rose filmed an intimate lecture containing a mixture of classics, and unpublished Elmsley material. This is material NOT included in his seminal books or his earlier videotapes. This is material mostly shown here for the first time.

More than that, it is the most intimate portrait of Elmsley as a thinker. He explains in detail the plots and methods that consumed him later in life, and the beautiful magic that evolved as a result. Consider this your private session with Alex Elmsley, and it's available for the first time in years, now in a convenient download format.

Most interesting of all, there is an interview section in which Elmsley explores ALL KINDS of unheard details on the Elmsley Count. Mr. Elmsley then goes into theoretical matters during an honest and fascinating Q & A.
