Who is Marc Spelmann? I have known Marc Spelmann for the last eight years and he is one of those real world performers who create pure miracles from conception to completion, no pipe dreams, no fillers, just pure astonishment in every routine. Marc has been invited to perform for the worlds elite A list, from Eric Clapton, Lennox Lewis, George Michael, Jack Nicholson, Hugh Grant, Davina McCall, Gerry Halliwell, Johnny Vaughn and HRH Prince Andrew. His client list is truly extensive with corporate giants such as Sony, Vodafone, Columbia Pictures, Jaguar, BMW, Dyson, The BBC, Carlton Television, Channel 4, Channel 5, Madam Tussaud’s, Rail Track, Credit Lyonnaise and Amtrak as a mere few of Marcs regular clients. I managed to finally get Marc to release some of his treasured routines for the magic community and I have to say that as a magic dealer I cannot remember a book or DVD set with so many real world routines. Marc has delivered material that knocked everyone out at the filming. I am confident that anyone of any level who purchases these DVD’s will use Marc’s killer routines and principles. In my opinion Marcs fantastic chair routine One In Thousands, Staple Roulette and his diabolical approach to the bank night theme The Prize Draw are all individually worth the price of the entire set of DVD’s to a working professional and could be sold for hundreds of pounds each. On the day of filming a shattering 31 routines I could not decide which routines I wanted to ad to my repertoire, I was spoilt for choice, a rarity for any set of DVD’s. The privileged audience who saw the filming firmly believe that every effect was a true performance piece. Marc thinks outside of the box and creates workable real world effects that play huge. I can honestly say that it is an absolute pleasure to be releasing this unbelievable set and the two and a half year process of finally pinning Marc down has been worth every second. All of this from someone who is not really known in magic circles and at a young age for his wisdom, knowledge and maturity with the impossible. Our art will benefit I'm sure.--Peter Nardi. What People Are Saying: "Marc Spelman is one of those unusual characters that come along once in a generation who knows how to create an idea in such a way as to create a stunning performance piece of mentalism, He also knows that presentation is everything.--Banackek. "The material is first class, easy to understand and most important of all, highly entertaining. I like your style…friendly, courteous and very disarming. The material is delightfully commercial. If the viewer doesn't come away with some of the most workable and entertaining effects I¹ve seen in some time, they should try stamp collecting."--Larry Becker. "The effects I saw are very clever and seem to have no explanation. Marc handles his audience well and leaves them with a very good feeling about his "powers!"--Richard Osterlind. "Marc Spelmann has an inspired Alchemical knack at combining ideas and principles in proper measure to create new life. His reworking of classic ideas and effects will leave you breathless. The Spelmann touch is close to a knock over the head with a club. It hits you where it counts and leaves you dazed, blurry-eyed, and excited. Do yourself a favor and study Marcs work, I think you too will find yourself highly rewarded for your effort."--Kenton Knepper. Volume One includes: Transmission--A drawing duplication that is real time, no impressions, no pre show, no stooges.

A Word in Thousands--A direct card divination combined with a triple book test, the books are cheap paper backs, a spectator chooses a random page that they do not tell you, next another spectator chooses one of three books yet you clearly divine the words and them of the line they are concentrating on and you don't even know what page or book they are looking at.
