During 1985 and 1986 Gene Maze decided to document his creations on video. He set up a video camera in his home, pointed it at his hands and performed many of his creations. He continued adding more material to the tapes until he finally demonstrated around 100 of his routines and techniques. He gave a few copies to his friends and even gave partial copies as gifts during some of his lectures.
Although he does not explain the routines, many of them have been published and can be reconstructed by magicians who are familiar with his many sleight-of-hand techniques. The titles of these routines are the original names he gave them and some were changed when published.
Many of the routines appeared on his “Pure Deceptions” and “Maximum Impact” videos, “The Gene Maze Card Book” by Richard Kaufman, “Gene Maze And The Art of Bottom Dealing” by Stephen Hobbs, “Packet Switches #4 and #5” by Karl Fulves and in various magazines. However the methods used here are not always the same as the methods that were published and there are quite a few routines that have never been published.
Gene did not travel much but would often be seen at the Saturday magic meetings that took place in New York City. You would see him in a back corner of the restaurant where he would session with a group of magicians and would demonstrate many of his creations and ask for advice on how to improve and change them. You most likely never experienced those sessions. This three-and-a-half hour video is as close as you will ever get to know what it was like to sit across from him and watch his brand of eye-popping impossibilities with playing cards.
These videos were intended to become the bonus features on The Magic Of Gene Maze DVD box set. Unfortunately Gene passed away before that could happen so they are now available in this format for all to see and experience.
This is as close as you will ever get to actually sessioning and hanging out with Mr. Miracle Maze himself. So sit back, watch and try to figure out how he does what you are seeing. Who knows, you might even come up with better, or at least easier methods for these impossible routines.

Although Gene named and numbered a total of 96 items, there are actually more than 100. Several of the routines have additional unnamed sequences and variations.
This a very long three-and-a-half hour video. We do not recommend trying to watch it in one sitting. Ideally you can watch one-to-five routines per day and try to figure out how they are done. Even better, try to actually perform a version of them for yourself. The video is recommended for serious magicians and students who specialize in card magic and not the casual dabblers. The quality of the video and sound varies but is watchable.
A Meir Yedid Magic Product. Produced by Meir Yedid. Running time: 3 hours and 30 minutes.
