It looks amazing, I'll definitely be getting this, but is it possible to post a list of the effects covered?

Just placed my order. I can't wait.

It was available today as of 1pm eastern time here in the U.S.

The trailer says eight routines are fully explained in the 3+ hour disc which means a lot of time will be devoted to Helder's thoughts on the WHY'S rather than the HOW.

I was fortunate to see Helder perform and lecture in Daytona last year and while the lecture was abbreviated to accommodate a very tight schedule he did speak more about the WHY's of his presentation.

The Bucks are heavily promoting this release, have convinced Guimaraes to release his first english language book at Magic-Con 2 next year and are calling this disc their most important project yet.

A lot of magic marketing is hype however the Bucks are backing the right horse in this instance. All that remains is to see if the DVD lives up to the talk.

Atucci,

It was available at 12PM eastern time. I ordered mine yesterday at 12PM. There are only 3 hours between EST amd PST.

Magico

Magico - thanks for the FYI. I was under the impression it would go on sale at 10am PST. Regardless I'm looking forward to receiving & studying the DVD.

Me too.

Just to let you guys know the contente of the DVD, as asked before:


Contents

· 4 For Four
· Helder Skelter
· The Sculpture
· Sloth
· An Invisible Thread
· Aberto Court
· Cardesian Coordinate

Each routine has been broken down into its own segment and includes a separate studio performance and explanation. Helder then provides commentary after each effect, in which he discusses its development and offers ideas for you to take it further.

Besides the many sleights Helder utilizes to achieve his effects, the following have their own special segments and offer detailed instruction on their technique.

· Ascanio Spread
· Stuart Gordon Double Turnover
· Elmsley Count

Interview

In this one-on-one interview, Helder discusses his background in magic and theatre, why he specializes in card magic, his thinking process, how he constructs routines, practices, and so on. Full of wonderful advice and an inspiring look into one of the most important magicians of his generation, you won’t want to pass this up.

Extras

· Merry-Andrew’s: A simple and very direct version of Twisting the Aces performed with Jokers.
· Credits: A reference of both sleights and effects is included as an aid for further study.
· Easter Eggs: We won’t tell you where they’re located, but if you stubmle upon them, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

2010 Lecture

Excerpts from Helder’s 2010 Los Angeles lecture. Features discussions about magic and a performance of an impossible Cards Across routine to leave you in wonder.


Best regards,

Helder

My dear Helder, my father is Portuguese just like you. I really love your magic. You're so much creative. Congratulations for all the success you have. See you!!!

Thanks. This is helpful. The DVD sounds great.

Helder,

Is the Invisible Thread routine on Red Mirror different than the one on Small Miracles?

and explain?

Yes, it's the same but in a context of a bigger routine (that's why is explained). Don't think it's fare to perform the all act and leave the explanation of this out just because it was in print before.
Best regards,

Helder

I like the performance of magic as much as I like thinking behind it. Just seeing magic for me, without explanation, can be a true lesson.
But answering to your question...
No, not explained in the DVD. But in the book, it will be.

Best regards,

Helder

Helder,

I first learned about you when I bought Small Miracles. It is an amazing collection - not a bad routine on the DVD. I am excited by your new DVD and book. Your oil and water routine is a staple of my card work - one of the more magical takes on the effect. Cheers!

PS - does Mr. Magic have a cameo on the new DVD?

Any one get theirs yet?
