Ed Marlo - It's All In The Cards -

A BBM EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD VIDEO - The definitive inside story of magic's most prolific and creative card genius - Ed Marlo. An incredible three hour documentary extravaganza that features the teaching of numerous classic routines, rare home movies, a plethora of interviews and priceless anecdotes from Marlo’s closest students and even a 17min film of Ed Marlo, Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller at the Magic Castle! It’s a truly essential and genuinely entertaining testament to the legacy of one of card magic’s greatest proponents.

Produced by David Solomon and directed by Mark Skolnik, this was originally filmed in 2005, and subsequently released as a DVD. It has now been meticulously upscaled and remastered for the optimal download experience. 

“You may think a ‘Best Of Marlo’ video would be filled with sleights, moves and manoeuvres. This set goes further though and presents the best side of Marlo - someone to whom every card man now and in the future owes a debt of gratitude. Highly recommended.” Steve Beam
