Blood, Sweat & Tears

$52.00

A three part course engineered to break down your hands and rebuild them into tools for performing effortless feats of natural magic with playing cards. Think of it as boot camp for your fingers.

Blood, Sweat and Tears takes you through the right way to master your sleights once and for all, starting with a solid foundation, reinforced by the right way to practice, and culminating in a set of five stunning effects of pure eye-candy that work in the real world.

Running Time: 3 Hours, 36 Minutes
Delivery: Video Streaming

Join Ben Earl for three card magic sessions that are not for the faint hearted—or those remotely sensitive to the horrors of extreme pasteboard manipulation. These sessions are for the maniacs, the obsessives and the lunatics who take perverse pleasure from learning advanced sleight of hand with playing cards.

Do you want to develop a world class touch, flow and technical ability? Do you want to learn secrets, skills and effects so advanced they will make hairs on the back of your neck burst into flames? For the first time ever, Ben reveals the true secrets behind his technical mastery. It’s within reach of anyone… but it will require your blood, sweat and tears.

Some of you will cry, others will roar a triumphant roar as their sleight of hand is catapulted to the heavens and praised by the Gods—a chance to escape the sheer hell of ‘satisfactory’ card handling.

With no gimmicks or extreme angles, everything can be used in the real world… for those brave enough to try!
