The 1986 New York Magic Symposium was a star-studded event that took place in New York City. Many of the featured performers agreed to perform and explain some of their creations on this very special video. This is a rare opportunity to see many of these magicians perform when they were very young and beginning their journey to becoming part of magic history.

The format is simple. You get to see each performer present one or two routines in a close-up show that was hosted by Max Maven. After the show, some of the performers come back to teach their routine. 

The Performances:
► John Kennedy performs his Floating Cigarette.
► Harry Lorayne performs his HaLo Aces Again.
► Lisa Menna performs her High Heel Card Stab.
► Tom Mullica performs his cigarette routine and Future Transposition.
► Dr. Sawa performs his Bad Tailor.
► Richard Kaufman performs his D.H. Revelation.
► Jeff McBride performs his Agent Of Fortune (card manipulation act).
► Jay Sankey performs his Airtight.
► Albert Goshman performs his Nudist Review.
► David Roth performs his Folding Coins Across.
