George Schindler has more than 50 years of professional experience as a magician and entertainer. On this video, he shares his lifetime of knowledge as he performs and teaches the routines he has used throughout his career. George is an outstanding performer, author, ventriloquist, comedian, and public speaker as well as being the past National President and Dean of the Society of American Magicians.

Entertainment First! is the title of his lectures and the theme to everything he does. The video begins with a live 20-minute show in which he performs his Sponge Ball Routine, Karrell Fox's Red Table (performance only), Coin In The Ring, Peek Production, Card To Pocket and Sealed Surprise (performance only). 

Routines performed and explained:
►Sponge Ball Routine: George feels that a good sponge ball routine is one of the best routines you could do. He teaches the routine he has been using his entire life. It is direct and features all the vanishes, appearances and multiplications necessary for a great routine.
►Coin In The Ring: A coin appears wrapped in a borrowed bill that is encircled by a borrowed ring which later vanishes and appears on your key case.
►Card Routine: You will learn a rapid-fire card act that you can do close-up or on stage. It features George’s Peek Production, Card To Pocket, Ambitious Card, and Card To Wallet. Each routine is very strong on its own, but George shows how the entire sequence can be a magical and entertaining act.
►Comic Prediction: A card is selected and named. You show a prediction envelope which contains a 52 on 1 gag card and when it is turned over it reveals the selection. A simple and direct gag-based routine with laughs and surprises.
►Silk Penetration: A selected card appears pictured on a silk scarf. After the surprise revelation, the silk is tied to the spectator’s wrist and it penetrates through it.
►Chop Cup Routine: A fast-paced and easy Chop Cup routine George uses at tradeshows where the ball appears, vanishes, and penetrates the cup. As a surprise finish, a large ball appears under the cup.
►Polaroid Money: This is George’s handling for Richard Himber's classic routine. It is an ideal routine for tradeshows and formal situations. 

Throughout the video, you will learn the many techniques that George uses to accomplish his magic and his thoughts about using gags and humor to enhance your magic. After all, it is Entertainment First!

DVD discs are all in NEW or LIKE NEW condition.  However, cases may contain wear or minor damage.  Most DVDs will be shipped in a padded envelope.  I have had no issues to date with this shipping method, however I can not guarantee the DVD cases when shipping.

While I list most items with 'Best Offer', some newly listed items I let run for awhile before accepting offers.  If I decline a best offer without countering, it is just that I believe we are too far apart on pricing to be able to come to an agreement.

I do my best to note all damage or missing pieces, however, due to time and volume I may miss something.  Please let me know if there is an issue to allow me the opportunity to fix the problem prior to leaving feedback

Payment is due within 2 days after auction close.  An 'Unpaid Item' case is automatically opened after 3 days.  If you need more time to pay, just let me know.  I am more than happy to accomodate if you communicate.
 

I make every attempt to ship all packages the following business day, often the same day, after payment is received.  Currently, most of the packages ship via USPS and insurance may be included in the shipping charge.  

I can not be held accountable for delayed shipments once the carrier has the package.  A "Lost Package" claim may be filed 2 weeks after the original expected delivery date per the USPS.  Once filed and approved by the USPS, I will be able to issue a refund.

International Shipping:  I use only eBays Global Shipping Program to ship internationally due to many problems shipping on my own.  I have no control over their charges and, as far as I know, they do not offer combined shipping at this time.  I may be able to group items into one auction to help offset some of their charges, but will require immediate payment and is at my discretion.  Thank you.
 

I offer free returns if the item is damaged or grossly misrepresented in the description and/or photos.  The item must be returned for inspection prior to issuing a refund.  While I understand this can be an inconvenience and frustrating, this is an eBay policy as well as my own.

As you can see by my feedback, I am an honest seller, so buy with confidence. 

Please message with any questions and thanks for looking!
