5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to learn, June 20, 2007

By	Torie Tasker - See all my reviews

Stephane is amazing! (and not just his looks ;) When you first see the tricks you think it will take years to be able to do them, but almost all of them only took minutes to learn and a little more time to get pretty good at. I purchased this DVD for my niece and couldn't stop watching it with her! We had a blast performing for our family who was totally blown away and insisted on knowing our magic secrets. A fantastic product that we'll enjoy for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST DVD OF MAGIC CARD TRICK IN THE MARKET, November 15, 2007

By	Carlos Del Campo "Magician Rasputin" (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a professional card magician, I consider this to be the best DVD in the market! "Vanel" is ten times better than Michael Ammar and others in the industry! The personality and magnetism of his lessons, routines, manipulations, mis-directions and explanations are the best in the magic world! Michael Ammar is over-rated and talks toooooo much, should take lessons from Stephane Vanel who is a true Magician and has the expertises of being the best card mechanic of our century!! Buy this DVD and you will be performing like a pro! It's well priced contrary to others who dont have a clue of what real card magic is all about!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best DVD with card tricks if you are just starting out, August 2, 2009

I have seen some other Stephane Vanel's videos and he can perform magic and seeming miracles with cards. I also have lots of different videos with card tricks. magic tricks, card manipulation and extreme card manipulation, but this DVD is the easiest of them all - even small children may learn how to do these card tricks.

Having a bunch of easy card tricks under your belt will boost your confidence and give you encouragement to proceed with more challenging card manipulation.

As Stephane says, he started learning magic tricks to overcome shyness. Being able to perform some tricks helped him to break the ice when meeting people and in the process he has developed a great mastery of the sleight of hand, and so can you - have fun and entertain family and friends.
