Secret Vol. 1 Ars-Takeshi Taniguchi by Tokyo Magic Carnival

Stunning magic effects performed with only a regular deck of cards! 
"Ars" means "technique" in Latin. Ars's performing style and his card techniques are sophisticated and powerful. Yet, they are direct and easy to follow. 
This DVD contains 5 of his most visual and popular effects. Each were carefully crafted as a result of his stoic commitment to research, as well as a lifetime dedication to his craft. His sensational techniques are recorded by a high-speed camera -- this makes the most advanced controls easy to follow. You will see Ars teach detailed explanations for his basic card techniques such as The One-handed Double Lift and The False Shuffle. 
Also included are practical techniques such as card flourishes and the basics for controlling your cards.
