Flicking Fingers -The Movie

In October 2002 the ten-man team of Germany's best close-up magicians known as "The Flicking Fingers" set out on a ten-day tour for a number of public shows and convention appearances. Lucky for us, they were accompanied by a professional film crew and the result is The Flicking Fingers Movie-a DVD like no other you have ever seen.

Follow the Flicking Fingers on their incredibly entertaining European road trip. Meet the goofy Gisbert and Gimmick-Man, watch magic TV ads and many more surprises! The Movie contains over 20 terrific routines, tricks, and moves showcased in a 2 1/2 hour road movie including the most entertaining explanations ever seen on a magic DVD and one hour of bonus materials like: the FISM acts of Pit Hartling, Jorg Alexander, Nicolai Friedrich, Thomas Fraps and more, plus out-takes, trailers and much more.

The Flicking Fingers is a team of ten of Germany's best close-up magicians, known to the magic community most from their unforgettable FISM '97 group lecture, as winners of Seigfried and Roy's 1998 Sarmoti Award and from their highly acclaimed "The Book-or don't forget to point" published in 1998. In October 2002 the team set out on a ten-day tour with a number of public shows and convention appearances. They were accompanied by a professional film crew and the result is this truly unique DVD.

Over 3 1/2 Hours of Mind-Blowing Magic!

TRICKS FROM THE ROAD

• A FACE IN THE CASE (Thomas Fraps)
  A card case visually changes into a selected card. Immediately, the selection transforms back into the box. No duplicates, no gaffs, no kidding!
  
• THE CAP, THE COIN AND THE MARKER (Manuel Muerte)
  A pen and a coin appear, disappear, reappear, grow, travel, go crazy and reset. A well structured and highly visual piece of Finger - Flim Flam!
  
• KEEP THE CHANGE (Rainer Pfeiffer)
  A copper and a silver coin repeatedly change places through a purse. Money-Magic in your spectator's hands!
  
• SNAPSHOT (Rainer Pfeiffer)
  Two rubber bands visually link in your spectator's hands. Eye popping magic and one cool souvenir!
  
• BURNED-OUT (Jörg Alexander)
  The name of a selected card forms from ashes gently rubbed on your bare arm. Then your spectator's initial is actually burned into her card. Hot, close and very personal!
  
• COGNITIVE ORANGE JUICE (Thomas Fraps)
  A full glass of freshly squeezed orange juice appears out of thin air, followed by a solid wooden shoehorn right out of your shoe. Reality check, anybody?
  
• THE FOUNTAIN OF CARDS (Nikolai Friedrich)
  Jumbo cards rise out of a deck isolated in a glass. Suddenly, every card jumps out, leaving only a selection. You end absolutely clean; perfect for stage or parlour work!
  
• BACK TO THE FUTURE (Pit Hartling)
  A selected card is found before it was chosen. A time-paradox at the card table; pure and simple!
  
• A ROSE IS A ROSE (Stephan Kirschbaum)
  After a beautiful routine with a purse-frame and a little silk you look "inside" the frame only to find a real rose as the perfect present for your helper. Move over, Casanova!
  
• SOUVENIR FROM CHINATOWN (Pit Hartling)
  A very clean transposition of a copper and a silver coin that ends with a final surprise in the spectator's hand.
  
• FLIP-FLAP (Helge Thun)
  In this crazy flourish you make a playing card twirl around the deck and between your fingers in breakneck speed. A typical case of "Do that again!"
  
• SEMI-AUTOMATIC (Manuel Muerte)
  A useful and quite unorthodox palm for the card worker. Make sure to really try this!
  
• LASTING IMPRESSION (Pit Hartling)
  A little touch that can turn a simple coin vanish into a memorable piece of magic.
  
• INERTIA (Jörg Willich)
  The letters on your business card suddenly shift around. Is the hand faster than…ink?
  
• GUMMY-BEAR (Jörg Willich)
  A wine-gum visibly penetrates the side of your wine glass. This looks absolutely amazing; perfect for cocktail parties!
  
• FRUIT CUPS (Helge Thun)
  A very useful move for any Cups and Balls routine. This one might bear fruit for you, too!
  
• GRANDPA'S CIGAR-BOX (Manuel Muerte)
  A signed card repeatedly appears under a little cigar box. Finally it is found inside the box, neatly folded into quarters. Holy smokes!
  
• THE SYMPATHETIC TEN (Jörg Alexander)
  The handling of Herbert Milton's wonderful classic that has earned highest praise and remains one of the corner- stones in Jörg's professional repertoire (performance only).
  
• MONA LISA (Nikolai Friedrich)
  Nikolai's signature piece: A spectator finds the missing piece to a 1.500-piece Puzzle of the Mona Lisa. This is the original version as sold to David Copperfield (performance only).
