The Whole Thing

Chris Mayhew

One hour and 20 minutes of instruction and insight on the process of good routining.

From card productions to color changes, everything is exposed where the spectator not only sees the outcome of magic – but the actual magic itself.

The possibilities and applications are truly endless. Imagine showing two Jokers with holes in the center of them. The spectator can clearly see that there is nothing hidden. Yet in an instant, their selection appears sandwiched between the Jokers. Visual, elusive, and unconventional.

The holes create a sense of transparency. You have nothing to hide.

Chris Mayhew walks you through five of his signature routines in over an hour and twenty minutes of expert instruction. Also included are four bonus applications and utility moves where Chris teaches you vanishes, productions, and color changes – all utilizing the Holes Concept.

As much as one can learn from good magic, there is much to learn from bad magic. In addition to the five routines, Chris gives insight to the first effect he's ever created. Step inside to deconstruct it, piece by piece. Learn the psychological subtleties of what makes a routine bad, and what makes a routine great.

That's not all. These aren't just quick effects. They are routines.

Everything is purpose built and well thought out. Each card, each sleight, each detail is utilized to it's full potential. No stone is left unturned. In addition to the powerful routines that Chris has shared, the theory behind the magic will go far beyond the occasional performance of a magic trick. The philosophy teaches the creation of routines and effects that are direct, visual, fun, and engaging.

If you're ready to amaze and entertain, The Whole Thing will propel you into the next dimension.

Recently found my cards I used to practice this trick with, and I remember that grandness of this effect when I first learned it. One of my favourites!

An impressive trick with an extremely simple and easy to make gimmick. Chris is a great teacher with a sense of humour, explaining in detail how to perform this trick with a few variations. 10/10.

GENIUS! This is a very impressive trick! I suggest to already have two identical decks of cards with white borders on the back of the cards to improve the quality of your performance. I rate this trick five "whole" stars!

The routines that Chris talks about in this DVD are very clever, easy, and hard-hitting. As always with his work, you get a clear explanation with a good sense of humour!

If you want a trick that is simple and hits hard, this is an absolute must, especially for the price. Had the pleasure of seeing Chris preform this at a lecture and it looks even better in person than it does on camera.

I have been waiting for this DVD for so long!i I finally got the money to buy it. I am so happy, Chris Mayhew's gimmick is just genius! Such great routines and definitely, in my opinion, the grail of sandwich routines. For $20 it's a steal. t11 prices their products so well. Love the teaching and love the DVD. Thank you Chris and t11. Highly recommended. Thanks.

After you know the gimmick you can figure out how the effects are done. There are some really great routines, but you'll have to make some more gimmicks because the cards won't hold up so well. The routines will work every time.

This is a great set of moves and tricks that I enjoyed practicing. Most of them were fairly easy to do and this has great visuals. The teaching is so amazing and easy to follow along you won't believe it.

This DVD rises above the rest of T11's efforts. It almost doesn't feel like one of their releases; it's too smart. That's not to knock the other awesome DVDs, but they're usually a bit more superficial, teaching what they need to and then scramming. Chris is a different beast. His ideas, trick constructions, and way of thinking is inspiring. This is such a damn good DVD. Keep up the incredible work, Chris and T11!
