Will Art of Magic be sold at T11 as well as E? If not isn't it kind of odd that Wayne would only sell it at E and not at T11? What do you guys think about the product? The trailers look good and Wayne has always produced outstanding products in the past so I am on the hopeful side with this one. Oh yea, I did a search and could not find anything about this product in the forums.
Here is the official info on the Art of Magic:
Wayne Houchin has created one of the most recognizable magic styles in the magic community. He brought his unique style of close-up magic to the hit national television show "Criss Angel: Mindfreak" and his original magic releases (The Quarter Through Soda Can, Stigmata, Ultragaff, Control, Indecent, and Thread) have all become international best-sellers.
In a departure from his usual one-trick format, Wayne Houchin's Art of Magic is a multi-effect performance and instructional DVD that features an in-depth look at the current state of magic. The DVD features interviews with David Regal, Aaron Fisher, Dan and Dave Buck, Joel Paschall, and (of course) Wayne Houchin. The interviews are combined with live performance footage of Wayne Houchin performing both on the street and at The Magic Castle.
Ellusionist is proud to be affiliated with Wayne Houchin for the release of an influential and important project: "Art of Magic".

WHAT'S ON THE DVD?
Wayne Houchin performs and teaches the following five effects:
1) Wayne Houchin's handling of Dai Vernon's Twisting The Aces. Richard Kaufman liked the handling so much that he is writing it up for the June issue of Genii Magazine.
2) French Kiss - A card transposition effect that happens in the spectator's mouth. Simple and powerful.
3) WH Ring + String Mystery - A piece of string visually penetrates through a borrowed ring. New, unique, practical, and FUN.
4) Match Bite - A lit match is extinguished on your tongue. The magician then bites off the burnt end, chews it up, and spits it back onto the match (similar in appearance to the quarter bite). Impromptu and uses only 1 match.
Candy Scam will not be on this DVD. See W:H post on page 3 for more details.
5) Candy Scam - This effect was originally scheduled for Criss Angel to perform on Mindfreak (Criss also wanted to release this effect as one of his Mastermind Instructional DVD's.) The magician offers to expose a scam that will allow you to get free candy. A borrowed dollar bill is used to purchase candy from a vending machine. The spectator's dollar re-appears sealed INSIDE the candy that they themselves purchase. The spectator opens the candy, removes and verifies their dollar. The presentation is compelling - the method is clever and practical.
5) Carbon Paper - An incredibly powerful effect contributed to AOM by Jay Sankey. The back of a playing card is burned - your spectator FEELS the burn from that card travel through their hand and end up on their signed card that has been between their hands for the entire effect... leaving the originally burnt card completely unharmed. Performed and taught by Wayne Houchin.
The documentary and instructional portions of this DVD attempt to capture a modern look at the Art of Magic through personal anecdotes, advice, and live performance. The interviews touch on everything from discussing the current divide between the old generation of magicians and the new "YouTube" generation, advice for beginners, and why magician's fail. The effects taught are new effects (with the exception of Twisting The Aces) that are practical and suitable for both beginners and the intermediate student.
Available on DVD and Download - $34.95
