In the first of a two volume series You Are Invited to join an exclusive session with six of the most secretive card men in the country. Tonight, you’ll take a seat by the fire next to Steve Mayhew, Tobias Pashia, Steve Dobson, William Conine, and Stephen Hobbs. Sit in on the discussions, share the laughs, and learn some exquisite card magic that is completely unknown outside the inner circle. The level of expertise is intimidating, but don’t worry, your invitation is signed by the leader of the group--the legendary Jack Carpenter. Jack hosts the session and tips some of his remarkable magic, including:

Scarne’s Dream, a flash production of four aces, out jogged in a fan; Harry and Bess, a visual two card transposition in which Jack teaches the real secrets behind his famous “Impulse Change”; and the devious “Perfect Center Deal” in which the aces are actually placed in the center of the deck, and with three simple moves, none of which is a pass or center deal, you deal them to yourself. Looks perfectly effortless, because basically, it is.

Steve Mayhew performs the equally perfect Labyrinth Blackjack in which the spectator decides where he’ll deal from, when and if he’ll hit, and you still win, every time. (the explanation appears later on the forthcoming Mayhew DVD.)

For the first time anywhere, the elusive Steven Hobbs performs and explains Revised Reset, his much sought-after handling for Paul Harris’ Reset.

And there’s more, including Blind Lemon Aces, 1 2 3 4, Spinner Aces from Jack, and a uber-convincing in-the-hands Triumph from William Conine known as Finally.

Only a handful of magicians have been lucky enough to session with “The Carpenter.” Today, that group includes you.

Running Time Approximately 1 Hour 20 min. -------------------------

"...this DVD does a great job of capturing a close-up session. Tricks are explained, and along the way you get extra moves, tidbits and bits of advice, some funny stories, and a bunch of laughs. There's nothing forced here; you get the impression that if the cameras weren't rolling, these fellows would behave the exact same way (and I have it on good authority that they would). I'd certainly like to see more DVDs that take this approach" - Antonio M. Cabral / M-U-M magazine

"It reminded me of what sessioning was like when I used to do such things, and a session with these great card men is more than worth the asking price. I really enjoyed it." - Matthew Field / The Magic Circular Magazine

"But what is the most valuable thing to me though is that after viewing the DVD, you will feel as if you've met the guy. The real guy. You'll get some insight as to how he thinks, how he works and what his real personality is like. And anyone who knows the work of Jack Carpenter knows how valuable that is.
If by any chance you disagree with me and “just want the tricks”, you STILL won't be disappointed. There is some devastating material here, much of which I'll be using". - Steven Youell

"If you have ever wanted to sit in on a high powered session - this is your chance! All in all, this is one of the better card magic DVD's to come out in a while and I highly recommend it" - Marc DeSouza

"Loved the Carpenter Sessions DVD. Concept, production and material--all top notch. To my mind, Jack has always been one of the truly clever ones" - John Bannon

"An Evening with Jack: The Seattle Sessions (Nights One and Two)", are two volumes of card magic and moves that, simply and succinctly, no card worker can be without...I can't recommend these highly enough. Rating: 9 out of 10" - Shane / Online-Visions.com
