The Magic Tricks and Secrets DVD series is created by Jeff Evans and George Ford. “Living Room Magic volumes 1 and 2″ include magic with everyday items you already have around the home; string, playing cards, paper, and more. Some effects are impromptu and can be done anytime, anywhere: others require some practice, but are well within the ability of anyone willing to put in a little bit of practice.

A full time entertainer since 1998, Jeff Evans lives in Olympia and travels throughout the Pacific Northwest performing over 250 shows a year.
