Coin in Bottle – So organic and amazing, Michael makes this play so big and strong, you’ll be as thrilled as your audiences to see it.

Topit construction, Use and Discovery –   – When we were growing up 30 years ago, Michael Ammar was already THE acknowledged master of the Topit. The Topit is one of the most powerful utility devices in history because it allows you to instantly vanish, ditch, produce or switch any object that can fit in your hand even when you’re surrounded. If you’ve never seen Michael teach this before, you need to. And if you have, you won’t want to miss Michael telling the story of how HE discovered the Topit watching Fred Kaps in 1978.

Feets of Magic – Magicians all over the world have learned from Michael Ammar, but when he comes to CC, he shares insights and secrets he doesn’t get to share in any other venue. This card set packs a huge punch of super-powerful world class magic, and that’s just the beginning: you’ll discover the DNA of Michael Ammar’s unique approach to card magic. Michael spent years studying with Vernon in California, but unlike virtually anyone else, this wasn’t the end of Michael’s growth, but only the start: if you want to learn card magic that your audience won’t merely enjoy, but actually REMEMBER—watch this and make it your own!

Card to Toe – This is super easy and powerfully clean. You can use Michaels method to make the card come out of your pocket, or do what Michael did and pull it CLEANLY from the tip of your shoe!

Side Steal – Michael’s two phase Color Change is a master course in how to get the maximum effect out of two simple changes. No filler—just pure magic anyone can see.

Michaels Spread Control – clean, easy and powerful, you’ll use this amazing sequence for all kinds of magic—starting with the climatic production that fuels the super visual finish to come.

Card to Balloon – Michael makes it clear that to his experienced eye, the card revelation is THE effect of card magic. This impromptu card revelation is the easiest you’ll ever find and one of the most visual card appearances we’ve ever seen.

Coins Through Silk – If you’re looking for a visual coin magic that looks so much like magic, it transcends coin magic itself…this is a singular routine that simply can NOT be beat!

The Cups & Balls – We’ve been waiting a lifetime to learn Michael’s Classic routine for the grandest effect in magic directly from the master, and this was everything we ever hoped from and then some. If you’ve never seen the trick, it’s hard to imagine a better introduction to your own advanced magic education.
