EN-FR-ESSurfing the Sponge – Xulio Merino
30,00 €French available in a couple of weeks This instructional video, recorded in 2019, brings to life the core techniques introduced in my book Esponjismagia Xuliana. Inside this sponge magic course, you’ll find a wealth of material covering the fundamental techniques, along with plenty of intermediate-level ideas and subtleties to help you continue developing your sponge ball skills. The routines are all different: some are perfect for cocktail performances, others shine in parlor settings, and others are designed for family audiences. Every one of them has been part of my professional repertoire at one time or another, and some still are. A few, such as Xulio’s Simplicity, are my personal recommendation for anyone beginning their journey with sponge balls and looking for a fresh, modern approach. Duration: 3h 30m Audio and subtitles in English, French and Spanish. Digital product. Instant access after purchase. No shipping required.About the author:
Xulio Merino discovered sponge ball magic in 2010. Since then, he has pursued it with relentless obsession. Combined with the vibrant magic scene in Galicia, this has made him a true master of the sponge balls. In just a few years, his techniques, theories, and routines have reinvented the way magicians approach this classic prop, laying the foundations for the modern study of sponge ball magic while carrying forward the legacy of Albert Goshman, Frank Garcia, Audley V. Walsh, L.L. Ireland, and many other masters of porosity. He has received numerous national and international awards, including the titles of Spanish and French Close-Up Magic Champion, winner of the Ascanio Award, and champion of the American television show Penn & Teller: Fool Us, among many others. With an absurd, surreal, and extravagant style, another outstanding magician from the Spanish School arrives, bringing along hundreds of colorful sponge balls to share his passion for sponge magic with magicians around the world.What are Timeless Tutorials?
You probably don’t own a DVD player anymore. Neither do we. You might not even know what a CD is. To be honest, we’re not entirely sure anymore either. What we do know is that we still love learning great magic. And since that never goes out of style, we’ve rescued some of our favourite creators from technological oblivion and brought their work online. It’s the future, kid. Watch whenever you want, wherever you are, and keep learning from people who have a lot to teach. Because great magic is timeless, and it doesn’t deserve to be forgotten on a VHS tape. But... who came up with those names, anyway?Content:

EN-ESSandwich3s – A Collection by Sara Rodríguez
20,00 €Available in English in a couple of weeks. What will you learn in Sandwich3s? Three Sandwiches. Full stop. Alright, let me explain. You won’t be learning just any three sandwich effects, but my three favourite versions of the plot — routines that have been with me for over ten years and that I’ve refined with a certain degree of obsession.- The Fan Collectors (aka The Trick I Would Show Ray Kosby), a fast-paced version that will push your pinky work to the next level — a tribute to one of my favourite techniques.
- The Double Sandwich, for which you’ll have to learn a new and devilish way of switching and repositioning cards during a casual display. It will be worth it.
- The Distant Collectors, where you’ll get to use that same casual display again — the one you spent so long practising. I told you it would be worth it. You didn’t believe me.

- Fan Collectors
- Instant ATFUS

About the author:
I have devoted most of my work and study to the perfection of card magic technique, and in this particular case, to developing methods and approaches for trapping cards in an inexplicable way. Sandwich effects have fascinated me from the very beginning, and I have always felt a special devotion to technically demanding versions. No complaining if you lose your social life while learning them. If you need to know who I am, my name is Sara, and I am a professional magician, founder and member of the company Magia en la Manga. After more than ten years on stage, I have performed at all kinds of events: from a lost village in rural Galicia to the stage of the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, on the television programme Penn & Teller: Fool Us. But instead of wasting time reading this, you could be practising. -
EN-ESThe Tabled Faro Shuffle – Sara Rodríguez
10,00 €In this tutorial you’ll find eight sections, each corresponding to one of eight steps, in which I’ll share all my tips and ideas to be able to perform the Tabled Faro Shuffle perfectly. From the detailed position of the fingers, to the most precise details to control whether the Faro is an In or Out shuffle, in an accessible, rigorous but simple way, which will help you lose your fear of this technique, or if you already work on it, correct possible mistakes and make it progress. Did I say progress? It’s not enough to progress, I’m talking to you about perfection. Beautiful and maybe pathological. I will also share with you observations and reflections on this elusive shuffle, and on why sometimes it is worth pursuing a challenge of this magnitude, even if only, simply, for the pure pleasure of doing it. That, in this tutorial, but, in this pamphlet, I do not have the space or opportunity to detail for you all the advantages it will have for your magic and for your own life to do it. Truly. “[...] Beneath that stillness lay a level of precision and structure beyond comprehension.” Shimpei Katsuragawa Audio and subtitles in English and Spanish. Digital product.
