I have known Marc Spelmann for the last eight years and he is one of those real
world performers who create pure miracles from conception to completion, no pipe
dreams, no fillers, just pure astonishment in every routine.
Marc has been invited to perform for the worlds elite A list, from Eric Clapton,
Lennox Lewis, George Michael, Jack Nicholson, Hugh Grant, Davina McCall, Gerry
Halliwell, Johnny Vaughn and HRH Prince Andrew.
His client list is truly extensive with corporate giants such as Sony, Vodafone,
Columbia Pictures, Jaguar, BMW, Dyson, The BBC, Carlton Television, Channel
4, Channel 5, Madam Tussauds, Rail Track, Credit Lyonnaise and Amtrak as a mere
few of Marcs regular clients.
I managed to finally get Marc to release some of his treasured routines for
the magic community and I have to say that as a magic dealer I cannot remember
a book or DVD set with so many real world routines. Marc has delivered material
that knocked everyone out at the filming. I am confident that anyone of any
level who purchases these DVDs will use Marcs killer routines and principles.
In my opinion Marcs fantastic chair routine One In Thousands, Staple Roulette
and his diabolical approach to the bank night theme The Prize Draw are all individually
worth the price of the entire set of DVDs to a working professional and could
be sold for hundreds of pounds each.
On the day of filming a shattering 31 routines I could not decide which routines
I wanted to ad to my repertoire, I was spoilt for choice, a rarity for any set
of DVDs. The privileged audience who saw the filming firmly believe that every
effect was a true performance piece.
Marc thinks outside of the box and creates workable real world effects that
play huge. I can honestly say that it is an absolute pleasure to be releasing
this unbelievable set and the two and a half year process of finally pinning
Marc down has been worth every second. All of this from someone who is not really
known in magic circles and at a young age for his wisdom, knowledge and maturity
with the impossible. Our art will benefit I'm sure

Volume One - The Unknown
Transmission
A drawing duplication that is real time, no impressions, no pre show, no stooges.
You send an image to a random volunteer in the hope that they will receive your
thought. You repeat the process a number of times matching image after image
to an astonished audience and a baffled volunteer.
A Card in 52. A Word in Thousands
A direct card divination combined with a triple book test, the books are cheap
paper backs, a spectator choses a random page that they do not tell you, next
another spectator chooses one of three books yet you clearly divine the words
and them of the line they are concentrating on and you don't even know what
page or book they are looking at.
Sweet Sensation
A packet of wine gums is used to manipulate one of the most unexploited senses,
that of taste. Five volunteers are to imagine a sour taste, however one will
imagine a sweet taste you divine exactly which spectator is imagining the sweet
sensation.
£1,000,000 Serial Killer
A volunteer is asked to take part in a challenge guessing game of which hand
holds the prize, they win every time, as a finale not only do you divine the
serial number on their £20 note but reveal an incredible coincidence never
seen before.
Staple Gun Roulette
Four ungimmicked industrial staple guns, one genuinely loaded are used in a
psychological killer routine where the audience gamble with their choices. Three
staple guns are fired over their hands whilst the forth is fired into a block
of wood to conclude a seriously tense piece of mental theatre.
