DuLTVDu DuLTVDu MoreDuLTVDuthan twenty years ago I had the chance to be at the Magic Circle andDuLTVDuwatched Brian Barnes performing Al Koran's Miracle Blindfold Card Act.DuLTVDuI had not a clue as to what methods were being used and there was not aDuLTVDudoubt that Brian Barnes was completely blindfolded and genuinely couldDuLTVDunot see. The evening at the Magic Circle was a special one and was forDuLTVDuThe Close Up Magician of the Year. Brian Barnes wanted to join theDuLTVDuMagic Circle so they allowed him to perform this act for hisDuLTVDuexamination. His performance was so immaculate that he was granted hisDuLTVDumembership of the Magic Circle and what he didn't realise was that heDuLTVDualso won the Close Up Award as well.

How often do we see someDuLTVDumagic and remember it for nearly a quarter of a century. Not often forDuLTVDusure but this performance stuck in my mind and is still there.DuLTVDuImmaculate, well timed and a work of art in reality.

IDuLTVDupersuaded Brian to allow me to film him for what is about to become aDuLTVDuseries of DVDs on the Magic of Al Koran and I got in a small audienceDuLTVDuof neighbours and we filmed away. I am really very proud of the DVDDuLTVDuwhich has been beautifully filmed by magician Alex Whitwell who alsoDuLTVDuhappens to be a lecturer in video-making and film studies. He andDuLTVDuanother editor put in the finishing touches and I am just awaitingDuLTVDuapproval from Brian Barnes for the DVD wrapper design and we will startDuLTVDuto release the DVD once that has been received.

TheDuLTVDuexplanation for the performance and method is in my recent release AlDuLTVDuKoran's Legacy but as Brian Barnes has been performing this act forDuLTVDuaround 50 years he has taken bits of the routine out and has added someDuLTVDuof his own subtle touches.

If I ever decided to be a full timeDuLTVDumagical entertainer this is the act that I would want to feature. ItDuLTVDujust requires the minimum of props including a blindfold, cards and aDuLTVDutable. It can be worked absolutely surrounded and for audiences ofDuLTVDuvirtually any size.

Brian Barnes not only performs the act inDuLTVDufront of an audience of twelve but then explains how to perform it inDuLTVDudetail. At times Brian was advised by David Berglas and those littleDuLTVDuextra touches from David Berglas can be seen. The blindfold is genuineDuLTVDuand the magician can not see. No sleight of hand is required at all.DuLTVDuThe act culminates in the performer telling one assistant exactly howDuLTVDumany cards she cut off from the deck and on turning to the otherDuLTVDuassistant who has taken a small quantity of cards from the deck he isDuLTVDuable to call out the names of each card she holds. This is preceded byDuLTVDuthe two assistants taking a card each and then mixing the cards yetDuLTVDueach time the performer finds the chosen card and you must remember heDuLTVDucan not see the cards at all.

If you are seeking magicalDuLTVDuperfection then all I can say that this is it. This isn't a hot dvdDuLTVDufrom some unknown youngster with a load of high end sound effects andDuLTVDuan effect that doesn't even deserve to be in a magazine as so many newDuLTVDumagical DVDs seem to be but is a solid demonstration of one of theDuLTVDufinest acts you could ever learn and perform.
