THE TAPESTRY OF DECEPTION PART 2: THE POWER OF ASSUMPTIONS W/ SIGNED ARTWORK
On this DVD, Michael Vincent shows once again why he is at the forefront of technical and artistic excellence in the art of magic.
This DVD is a continuation of Michael's ground-breaking presentation "The Tapestry of Deception". This ongoing series of instructional DVDs focuses on the most important aspect of magical presentation, "Audience Attention Control".
This brand new presentation looks at a very powerful strategy, "Assumptions". This component of deception is an essential factor in creating powerful magic.
Michael begins in his customary manner with an outstanding performance of "The Three Card Monte", followed by Michael Skinner's "Mona Lisa Card Trick" and a wonderful interpretation of Matt Schulien's "Card in the Matchbook". This performance forms the backdrop for an insightful, educational and inspiring evaluation of "Assumptions". If the audience response is anything to go by, you will experience exactly what was felt by the live studio audience: mystery, wonder, laughter and total astonishment.
As an educational DVD, the student will be taken behind the scenes to see how Machiavellian Michael Vincent can be when designing and constructing his magic. In the process, you will learn some outstanding techniques like:
The Soft Double
The One-Hand Bottom Deal (with some truly remarkable applications)
Finesses on Steve Bedwell's "Dribble Control"
The Future Classic Palm
The Palm-to-Palm Transfer
As you watch the DVD, you are privy to the thought processes, values and beliefs which make "The Magic of Michael Vincent" such a profound experience for any audience. If you study this DVD and carefully apply the principles at work to your own magic, you can and will take your performance to another level of excellence.
Magical excellence is not an accident; it requires dedication, commitment and self-discipline. Make no mistake, it takes work—hard work—but the results are definitely worth it. This is the legacy of Michael Vincent.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
