The Trick that Fooled Houdini...and His Whole Damn Family - Michael has taken in magicians around the world with this little gem. The secret will make you laugh out loud.

The Way of the Duck - A fresh presentation for an amazing revelation of two freely selected cards.

Red See Passover - Michael's presentation and handling of Simon Aronson's great effect.
