Ross Bertram is a name that doesn't get the attention that it deserves. Bertram was a sleight of hand magician
of the highest order. He was featured in the Stars of Magic series and
held his own with magic's elite in the prime era of magic.
These DVDs are remastered versions of some old video tapes that were released many years ago. The footage was originally recorded as short films by Ross Bertram and his wife Helen. While
the quality of the footage isn't as good as today's standards, the
material massively outweighs that complained. You'll be fooled by every
trick and you'll be in awe of every explanation, in which Bertram
executes everything flawlessly.
