Shoot Ogawa: Close-Up Miracles

Angel

This is an excellent lecture by Shoot. The only draw back is that it is too short. Shoot shares his knowledge in magic theory, presentation, sleight of hand techniques, and tricks. I highly recommend this video, not only to beginners but to seasoned magicians.

Oh my this is excellent. The effects and ideas shared is just brilliant. I am a huge Ogawa fan. There is a good mix between coin and card magic. The crib for memdeck is brilliant. This is a lifetime worth of study. The tutorials are excellent and the video quality is very excellent. Thus is not beginner material.

Great!

Due to the 99 cent deal of the day and store credit... I got this entire lecture for 75 cents

Vanishing Inc is amazing

The bonus video of card magic with a borrowed deck is just for beginners, all of it mostly self working, but the main lecture was awesome! Shoots work on the ambitious card is something I never would have thought of, his advice on the French drop and just pantomime during performance and practice was also very very useful to me

For 75 cents this was the best purchase I've ever made in magic LOL

“Shoot Ogawa: Close-Up Miracles” is a magician’s dream come true. In this 2.5 hour workshop, the FISM-winning magician shares his secrets, covering coin magic, card tricks, and more. You will master elegant sleight of hand, routine design, and even a clever memorized deck technique. It’s like having a private lesson with Shoot, exclusively available on Vanishing Inc.

And as an incredible bonus, you’ll receive “Bonus Video - 7 Tricks by Shoot.” These tricks include an incredible moment where the spectator stops the magician, leading to four-of-a-kind appearing on top of four piles. There’s also a mind-boggling prediction on a post-it note that matches the magician’s cards, and a stunning effect where the shuffled deck transforms into four aces. Elevate your magic game to new heights - download it now and get ready to amaze.

Excellent teaching. Ideas I had never considered. The 'Angles Management' section is gold. I've had the pleasure and privilege of working with Shoot at The Magical Mystery Show when it was on Maui, and also at the current location in Waikiki, and I can tell you, he is incredibly open and giving, as you can see in this video. All the infinitesimal refinements that I might stumble upon through ridiculous repetition...'So, I do like this...I am lining up my finger from my left eye to their left eyes...' Simple, brilliant, perhaps intuitive but perfectly explicated herein, a lightbulb suddenly illuminating a corner of the room that I didn't even know was dark. Thank you, Shoot, JT, Kekoa, and of course VI for making this available.

Five stars are not enough stars for this lecture. I am an old guy who still loves magic. I love learning from experts. The information provided is invaluable. Don't focus upon the technique or mechanics. Focus upon the thinking that goes into his practice and how he structures a routine. Unless you understand and apply his thinking, your magic will never go beyond being average. It is very hard to find this information in books though there are a few books that teach this well. This lecture is extremely practical for the serious magician.

Very good purchase. Shoot takes the time to answer many questions and goes into in-depht details. His purse routine explanations are very clear. There is also a 2nd section with 7 bonus tricks. Weather you are a beginner or a level 69 warlock, there is golden material for everyone in this purchase. Don't miss out! Shoot is not only a world champion but one of the most down to earth people out there and his very humble in his teaching. Definitelywould recommend to anyone wondering if this purchase is worth it or not.

Shoot Ogawa is not only a master magician but also a really great teacher. This is what I consider a true magic lecture in that he was not selling tricks he demonstrated but just taught on principles that are so important to making your magic much better. I learned so much about angle management, audience management, and how to practice. It was also interesting to hear how he developed some of his own sleights and his own routines. Shoot also spent a lot of time talking and demonstrating how he adjusts his magic to suit both the size of the audience and the size of the venue he is performing in. Extremely informative lecture.

David

Thank you for making this available to us. I wanted to go to Magi-Fest to be in this but wasn't able to. Now I get to learn from this. Thank you again.

There is a lot of great material here. Shoot is one of the best if not the best teachers in magic. I always turn to shoots material when I'm looking for something new to add to my close up sets. You wont regret getting this thats for sure.

Allan

What an amazing bundle! The workshop is full of interesting ideas, but the most valuable part is definitely the theory behind them. The hints on linking rings are awesome!
About the 7 bonus card tricks, most magicians probably know most of them, but it might be the kind of trick that you just forget about them, but they can be really strong for lay audience, and Shoot also gives important tips for all of them, that can be applied to other routines.

Gary

Man alive! This lecture is amazing. So much to take in. So much to practice. And all of it so well explained. I think this might be my favourite lecture of 2023 so far and it's going to be hard to top. The first 30 minute section on the French drop was startlingly good and from that point I knew the rest wouldn't be disappointing.
Shoot's tips on the rings were also brilliant and I feel I can finally start getting to grips with them.
In conclusion, highly recommended.

Amazing. Very clean and polished. He comes across as a very nice guy. Learnt so much. Felt as if i could have watched him for endless hours.

This is an excellent workshop. Not about tricks... about theory. About how to personalize what you do. And about how to make your movements more natural and more deceptive. This is the kind of workshop that can help every magician improve their performance.

Rick

Good lessons!!! Shoot did an Excellent job on description and break downs on everything he talked about. Very patient in explaining in detail each move. Great performer and great teacher! Video was well worth the price! The great part is that you can play it over and over again if you missed something the first or second time. Good Value! Worth the price!
Good Job Vanishing!!!

Unlike all my previous purchases on vanishing site, this time i wasn’t satisfied:

Of course The Material taught by Ogawa is exellent but the the video is not recorder in “crystal-clear quality” as described on the site:

There is only a front camera placed behind the Seated audience and not camera oriented top/ bottom on the table.

So for the cards and Coins tricks explanations in the Masterclass you will be able to get the “ theory “ behind them but won’t be able to see and learn the tecnical moves and sleights to realize it.

I feel i will need to buy other stuff to learn the purse Coin routine and be able to perform it,
What a pity.

The 7 bonus tricks are self working and ok for beginner (thoose are well shooted)
