Hello Café members,
If some of you haven't already heard, Steve Forte's popular Gambling Protection Series tapes will be available on DVD format soon. Jason England has been generous enough to allow me to share the following information with you all regarding the project: - They are planning on releasing the DVDs as a 3 DVD set - Disc 1 will contain volumes 1 and 2 of the old set - Disc 2 will contain volumes 2 and 3 of the old set - Disc 3 will contain almost 2 hours of unseen footage - New content: * An hour long television show that was filmed in the early 80s and never aired called "Gambling's Invisible Thieves." * 20-25 minutes of brand new footage of Mr. Forte doing about 2 dozen card moves, many that have never been shown before. * A 15-20 minute "video walk-thru" of his private museum/collection. * Mr. Forte's performance on the "Hidden Secrets of Magic" special from the mid-90s. - Mr. England is aiming to have the project completed and available early September of 2008. I am not affiliated at all with this project, but I am very excited for the release of the DVDs. I have been a big fan of Steve Forte ever since I first saw his work on his GPS tapes, so these DVDs are one of my most anticipated releases for 2008. For those who are interested in learning more about the subject of cheating/gambling, Mr. Forte's work should be on your shelf and you should rush to buy these DVDs to watch/learn from a true professional. Best of luck with this project Jason; September is just around the corner. http://www.gamblingprotectionseries.com/ -Joe |

I should have also included above, a brief description of what the early GPS tapes contained. The tapes were originally a 4 volume VHS set that showed Steve Forte performing cheating techniques with cards and dice. The tapes are unlike typical magic videos, where an effect or sleight will be performed, and then explained in great detail.
However, this doesn't mean you will not learn anything from the tapes. Seeing Mr. Forte perform these techniques will teach and inspire you if you're willing to put in the work. If you'd like to see a description of volume 3 of the early GPS tapes, I've provided the link below. http://www.elmagicshop.com/cgi-bin/webc.......90445.9c |

Cool! I'd always hoped these would make the transition to DVD, and it sounds like they're really going to do it right! I never had the original GPS series, but I have seen clips of Steve's work on TV and whatnot, and was very impressed. I'll definitely have to pick up this set!

Whoops. Correction to the contents of the DVD:
Disc 2 will contain volumes 3 and 4 of the old set, not 2 and 3 as mentioned in the earlier post. |

Do you own his book? If not, that should hold you over a few months/years.

This has happened really recently so it has not gone to trial yet.

The event happened over a year ago (not "recently" agent61)
Although recently indicted, that's not jail, that's not "guilty", in fact that's not any of the things suggested in the last few posts. But hey, why bother caring if what you're posting is remotely accurate or not......right? |
