Why hasn't Earl Nelson ever made a video? And why no video clips of Jimmy Grippo?

I am working on a Jimmy Grippo video that will be out hopefully by Christmas. I have extensive performance video of Jimmy that I hope the magic community will enjoy. ;)

Earl Nelson did release some videos back in the 1980's. The ones that I remember were "Variations", "Earl Nelson Workbook Video", The Double Lift and The Pass.

I had the Double Lift and Workbook Videos they were on Beta and I lent them to some one and never got them back. They were excellent though and I wish I still had them. I believe you had to buy them directly from Earl and I purchased mine from him at the NY Magic Symposium held in San Francisco.

I have a copy of Earl's video on "The Pass" that I purchased in Hollywood at a local magic store many years ago.

Videos I would like to see...I wonder if any good film exists of:

1. Stewart James
2. Jim Ryan
3. Eddie Fechter
4. Ross Bertram
5. Matt Schulien

They would all be fun/inspirational/educational to watch.

:rolleyes:

Hi Robert,
A couple of videos of Ross Bertram are currently available (A1 of L&L, I am not sure). They are made from old films made by Ross and his wife.
Best.

Robert, Jim Ryan appears on the Tom Mullica bash video, along with many other greats.

Thanks to Thomas and Steve for the recommendations. Most appreciated. Regards, Robert :)
