Jeff Sheridan Collection
Jeff Sheridan began his career by specialising in street magic, working in New York City in the 1960s. However, he is perhaps better known for his card manipulations and his unique avant-garde performing persona which he developed per hundreds of performances in NYC's Central Park. The reason that this DVD set was so highly anticipated was due to those who Sheridan had previously shared his knowledge with: the likes of Jeff McBride and David (Kotkin) Copperfield!
This DVD set represents a lifetimes worth of work which could easily be believed as two lifetimes worth! The amount and diversity of material covered is mind-boggling.

Jeff Sheridan Original Magic - Volume 3
Price: £27.00£27.00inc VATJeff Sheridan is one of magic's most original thinkers and on this video, he shares some of his favorite and most closely guarded effects.
Lost And Found Bill - A borrowed bill's serial number matches the performer's prediction - which just happens to be gold-embossed on his wallet.
Triple Headline Prediction - Combine the classic effects of Mental Epic and Clipline and you have an amazing effect that will confound even those who are in the know!
Jumping And Linking Pocket Watch - A pocket watch visibly leaps from the performer's pocket and attaches itself to its chain. This is visual magic that defies explanation!
Cut And Restored String - Two pieces of string are cut in the fairest possible manner yet are restored by the performer.
Traveling Knot - A scaled-down version of Pavel's classic concept. A length of thread is threaded through a piece of straw. The straw is cut, obviously cutting the string, also. However, the straw is moved along the length of thread until the spectator says stop. The straw is removed to show that the cut point has apparently moved with the straw.
Dime And Penny - Every magician started with this trick but Jeff Sheridan shows you how to make it into a miracle. A coin visibly turns into another and then penetrates a solid sheet of rubber to fall into a glass.
Sheridan Princess - Three pairs of cards are placed under wooden plaques. The performer removes one card from under each plaque, correctly predicting the spectator's choice in each case. A triple miracle!
Card Stab - Another classic of magic given the Sheridan treatment. A selected card is shuffled into the pack, which is then wrapped in a napkin. The performer thrusts a knife through the napkin, impaling the
selected card.Cold Capsule - Imagine the look on your spectators' faces as a common cold capsule pill dances and animates above your outstretched hand with no apparent means of locomotion. Then, a borrowed ring literally hovers in the air, again with no visible means of support.
Clone Cards - Wild Card outdone! Several cards turn into a duplicate of a selected card. For the incredible finale, the entire deck is spread to show that every card now matches the selection!
Secret Slate - The performer is able to flawlessly pick out the business card the spectator has initialed or has drawn a picture on, no matter how much the face-down cards are mixed.
Jeff Sheridan Stand-Up Stunners - Volume 4
Price: £27.00£27.00inc VATOn this volume, Jeff Sheridan shares some amazing effects suitable for parlor and platform.
This is innovative, cutting-edge magic that will excite even the most jaded audiences.Cheek To Cheek - A packet of cards is repeatedly mixed up in face-up/face-down fashion yet rights itself - and the fact that it's repeated over and over again is a guaranteed fooler!
Dream Autograph - A selected, signed card turns out to not only match the performer's prediction - which has a different back color and is signed by the performer on the back - but is found to actually be the same card!
Thimbles - A cute manipulative interlude that can stand alone or be used to supplement a thimble routine you already perform.
Pipe Production - A full-sized tobacco pipe is produced from a silk, vanished into thin air and then reproduced under the fairest of circumstances.
Vanishing and Appearing Ladies Fan - Watch closely or you'll miss it! A fan is shown and opened. The performer closes it and it vanishes
instantly. Just as suddenly, it's back again!Silk Through Silk - Two silks are shown. One is formed into a bag and the other is placed inside and then visibly pulled through the bottom of the bag. After the penetration, the other silk is shown to be completely solid.
Torn And Restored Card - A selected card is torn into four pieces, which are then inserted into the deck. With no false moves, the deck is ribbon spread to show the card face up in the middle - and completely restored!
Triple Prediction - An impromptu version of a classic in mentalism. The performer correctly predicts the thoughts of three random spectators.
Hummer Prediction - The performer accurately discerns the whereabouts of three objects placed under wooden plaques.
Wrigley Prediction - A new use for Mental Epic as the performer correctly predicts the spectator's preference in the ordering of three objects.
Jeff Sheridan Street Act - Volume 1
From Price: £27.00From£27.00inc VATAs popular as the concept is now, contemporary street magic can all be traced back to one time, one place and to one performer-Jeff Sheridan. A ubiquitous figure on the busy streets of Manhattan for decades, Sheridan's cool demeanor and red-hot magic stopped busy urbanites dead in their tracks and now, at last, Jeff Sheridan, the father of modern street magic, literally breaks his silence and shares his secrets with you.
Watch Trick (performance only) - The time on a watch, borrowed from a spectator, is changed merely by the force of the performer's will!
Swan Lake Rope - An amazing and amusing interlude as a length of rope goes through a myriad of miraculous changes. It's cut, restored, cut yet again, penetrated by a pair of shears, and lots more. A showstopper with the simplest of props.
Cigarette In The Coat - A classic of magic that still amazes an audience. A lit cigarette is placed into the folds of a borrowed jacket. At the end, not only is the jacket left unharmed but also the cigarette vanishes without a trace!
Card Manipulation - This is the real work. Watch as Jeff Sheridan vanishes and produces playing cards from thin air, all while surrounded by spectators. (The complete explanations for these amazing techniques can be found on Volume 2.)
Diminishing Card Routine (Al Baker) - A seldom seen but still stunning effect. The performer takes a fan of playing cards and squeezes them down to successively smaller sizes until they disappear altogether. Learn Jeff Sheridan's original handling for this classic of magic.
Vanishing And Reappearing Water - An almost impromptu miracle that will enable you to vanish a fistful of water and produce it from just about anywhere.
Knot Routine - A disobedient piece of rope refuses to hold a knot, despite the performer's best intentions. The performer finally succeeds in forming a knot with one hand before pulling it off the rope altogether!
