Lance is a self-described adherent to the Vernon ideologies of magic imbued in him by master magicians Roger Klause and Bob White. He brings a variety of effects to this DVD set, but despite the imposing title, he insists that not all the effects within are difficult knucklebusters. The title is merely meant to imply that nothing within these volumes is self-working, but neither are the routines beyond the grasp of anyone willing to put forth the effort to learn them. Lance is a member of the F.F.F.F. so you know his presentations have been scrutinized by some of the best thinkers and performers in the world. As a bonus, included on the DVD is a behind-the-scenes look at Lanceís beautiful gaffed coin apparatuses.

Volume One covers 7 effects: Six Pence None the Wiser, Bannonesque, Drawn and Quartered, Mildly Motivated, 3rd Times the Charm, World Famous 2 Coin Trick, and Kings in Korner Pocket.
