The Newsflash story
Axel Hecklau´s version of the torn and restored newspaper is discussed in the magic world as the best version available in the moment. Learn how it was possible to improve a classic.
Just a cup
Another classic that Axel has infused with his ideas and creativity.
This is not a chop cup. Learn a different technique which gives you more flexibility and stronger effects e.g. in the hand of the spectator. This routine is a REAL worker.
3 Fly
Just another 3 Fly routine? Axel explains his thoughts behind his very reduced and clear routine. Why? Because why is more important than how!
OOTW – Xtrem
Out of this world without a table, faster, without switches or leader cards, out of a shuffled, borrowed deck. This is OOTW for extreme conditions.
Digital
A hole travels from one piece of paper to another. A great piece for table hopping and parlor shows.
ONE:Twist
A signed card is torn in two pieces and restored twisted back together.
It´s clear, it´s simple and creates an impossible object as a souvenir for the spectator.
The napkin rose 2.0
Create a two colored paper rose with no special printed props to buy. It looks even more realistic than the common napkin rose. Learn how Axel Hecklau combines this with a nice card effect in which a spectator finds their card by themself.
Cue Control
Music is an important tool to make your magic stronger. If you perform in a private setting and music starts at the right moment but people cannot see when or how you control the cues, it will raise the impact of your show. Axel will tell you, how you can achieve that kind of magic.
Theory
What points are responsible for the impact of a magic effect and how can you make an effect stronger? Is it ALL about presentation? NO!
Axel Hecklau will give you a check-list to find weak points in your routines. With the help of some simple questions you will be able to improve your routines.
