Roger Klause was one of magic's most respected performers and instructors. He has long been referred to as an "underground magician" due to the secretiveness of his methods.

These two video feature highlights from his repertoire, giving you an opportunity to experience one of the deep thinkers of close-up magic who tips the way he approaches his magic in addition to the methods of accomplishing his routines.

Roger Klause In Concert

►Smokeless: A borrowed cigarette is lit and the match is vanished. The cigarette is now placed into your fist and it too completely disappears.
►The Bantam-Weight Card: A peeked at card is found and shrunk into a miniature of itself. Upon waving your hand on the miniature card it grows back to its original size.
►Marked Off-Color: A deck is described as marked when a spectator cuts to a card and you name it by looking at its back. To prove that the card was marked it is now shown as the only red backed card in the blue backed deck.
►The Miser's Cornucopia: A borrowed dollar bill is rolled into a cone and ten dimes are poured out of it.
►The Operator: A four-phase Monte themed routine using coins and bills. It begins with two copper coins repeatedly changing place with a single silver coin and segues into a bill transposition routine where a one-dollar bill repeatedly changes places with a five-dollar bill under impossible conditions.
►New Sponge & Sleeve: A sponge ball repeatedly vanishes and appears in the spectator's sleeve.
►Elbow Coin Vanish: A stunt is shown where a stack of coins is balanced on your elbow as you toss and you catch them. Upon repeating the stunt all the coins amazingly vanish.
►Red & White: Roger's famed handling for the color-changing handkerchief routine where a red handkerchief repeatedly changes into a white handkerchief during a sucker/exposure sequence.

Roger Klause Encore Performance

►Full Value: A borrowed dollar bill is folded and a half dollar is poured out of it. The bill is folded again and a second coin magically appears from inside it.
►Anytime Aces: As you deal cards to the table in pairs the spectator stops you at any time. The four cards you are stopped at are shown to be the four aces.
►Triple Play: A clean coins across routine using three coins where the last coin appears in the spectator's hand.
►Ringmaster: A Himber Ring routine where three borrowed finger rings are linked and unlinked.
►The Name Is The Same: Two borrowed and signed dollar bills visually change places.
►Chinese Quartet: Roger's beautiful and classy Linking Ring routine using four rings that are linked and unlinked while reciting a descriptive poem. (Performance and basic explanation only).
