Stage illusionists historically have been extremely secretive about their craft. Not just about the secrets to the illusions themselves the mechanics are just a small part but about the real secrets of what turns a stage illusion into a breathtaking moment of pure magic.

Now for the first time ever on video Jonathan and Charlotte Pendragon the First Couple of magic and perhaps the greatest exponents of grand illusion ever to grace a stage lift away the veil and show you the real secrets of stage illusion the insider information that could only be gained by performing in over 50 countries for the last quarter of a century.

Keep in mind that while these unprecedented DVDs are not so much about the illusions as much as the illusionists (in other words there are no building plans included though the secretsare frequently disclosed and discussed) Jonathan and Charlotte share their personal philosophy of performing and the inspirations that led to the creation of their most famous illusions. You ll also learn about the importance of transition effects chor eography staging and a myriad of other details about how to stage a professional illusion show that only a handful of people in the world are truly capable of sharing. Electrifying live performance footage of the illusions is interspersed with discussions about them with both Jonathan and Charlotte. Also included as bonus material is a fascinating interview with Jonathan by magician Patrick Martin.

This four-volume DVD set will be fascinating for all who love magic. However for those who actually perform or aspire to perform grand illusion they re absolutely priceless.
