Over three and a half hours of tried and tested commercial magic routines! Feature magic for both close-up and stageThis is one of the world's busiest magicians captured at his very best. A unique blend of comedy, magic and commercial entertainment, Thom Peterson is giving away all his trade secrets so you too can now have the repertoire to entertain audiences everywhere.
Whether you work close-up or on stage, there is something here for everyone.
Perhaps you are a close-up guy looking for some new material or wanting to be inspired to create a short stand-up show - then look no further than "Behind the Curtain"
Maybe you have a stage show already but want to add a new opener or a couple of extra routines for the new season - well you are sure to find something here!
At Alakazam, we are all really excited about this new DVD release - we have held onto it for a while since filming took place last year, but now we are finally ready to let it loose on the magic world!
We guarantee that this is going to be a staple volume for all magical entertainers - the material is all there, ready to go.
Fresh, modern, contemporary and rammed with comedy, amazement and fun, "Behind the Curtain" is sure to be an instant hit!
Filmed in the summer 2010 this DVD has been eagerly awaited by many magicians and when you see the routines you know why!
This 2 DVD Disc set is jam packed with commercial material.
Not only will you learn a full stand up show packed with hard hitting visual magic but Thom also teaches some of his pet close up routines.
You really are going to love what you see on these discs. These are routines that Thom has performed and honed over 1000's of performances worldwide.
There are so many effects on this collection that alone would be worth the price of the entire set. Talk about getting value for money!!
Here Are Just A Few of the Routines Included This DVD Set
Stand Up Show
Lemonade Racket
This really is a killer of an opener and visual magic at its best. Telling a story about starting your own lemonade stand you produce a lemon. This gets a great reaction but the kicker will floor your audience as you now produce a full glass of Lemonade!!
Spooning
One of the most visual spoon bends I have ever seen and the best part is you can give the bent spoon away afterwards!!
Revenge of the Spoon
This is a great follow up to Spooning. You draw a picture of a straight spoon (which your spectator signs) and you now make the drawing of the spoon bend!! The best part is you can tear the sheet of paper containing the bent spoon and your spectator's signature off and give it to them as a souvenir
Ring In Kinder Egg
WOW this really is one the most commercial versions of ring to impossible location I have ever seen and it make perfect sense!
Pit Boss
A fantastic triple prediction routine, that takes your audience on an imaginary trip to a Las Vegas casino. Talk about packs small, plays big! This effect can be performed in also any conditions including close up!
Close Up effects taught include: Pool Ball, Card Stab and Fish Tales
All performances are filmed in a real world environment with studio explanations in detail. If you are already a working pro or wanting to become one, then THIS IS THE DVD SET FOR YOU!
Disc 1 Running Time Approximately: 1hr 34min

absolutely must buy perfect for dogs. I have a large black lab and he has had so much fun with us.
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
I have to say that my dog would be considered an aggressive tower. However, this ball has stayed intact. I love that it comes with the pump. It’s extremely functional very soft for catching can be cleaned. Very easy easy the quality is exceptional. Very functional does have a bounce. I can say he has had so much fun with this since it’s getting it for his birthday on 11/11 I highly recommend this product and would definitely buy again.

Perfect for keep-away
Size: Large Size 3, Color: Red-Blue
I purchased one of these for my pup and he has a ball throwing it up in the air and chasing it. Handy for something they can play with alone.

Great
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
I need something that was soft for my three year old and this ball is super great, it not only is the right size but it also fits in his mouth just right. Although he is a super aggressive chewer, the ball toy hasn't been totally destroyed yet and it is easy on his gums. The ball is so durable that got two of these toys just for fun.

The best!
UPDATE: 08/05/2025 - This is still one of my dog's 2 fav training/play toys. A couple of notes:
1. This is not a chew toy. If your pup is chewing up the rope, that's on you. That being said, you can get 100' of the poly cord rope at Home Depot for like $4.98. You can make nearly 100 ropes out of 100'. How hard is it to replace the rope?????
2. My pup is a now 15 month old Malinois. His original balls, purchase in September 2024 are still in everyday, multiple times per day, play. I did get careless and leave one where he got it and chew the rope. Easily replaced. Nothing to fret over. Yes, that was on me!
3.The foam ball is virtually indestructible! Replace the rope!
4. I noticed the price for the yellow large went from $12 each to $24. THIS will cause me to go elsewhere if they doubled in price. I LOVE these balls but not that much. I noticed they have a new yellow ball that has a strap vs. a rope. I might try that if I need one, but I have 6 of these balls, 2 never used yet, 2 that are virtually new looking, and 2 that have been in play since september 2024. I don't think I'll be buying more any time soon, but if I do need more, I hope they haven't gone up to $24 each.
One of my top, go-to training tools. Quality is great other than the shrink wrap around the string joint. It's junk but not essential.
Great tug and fetch toy. Essential to teaching a good "out" command (2 are recommended for this).

Best dog ball
This is our go to dog toy for our German shepherd. its great for training in sports as well as outings at the beach, considering it floats! Never had him destroy one, so its extremely durable. I like that its a bright color so its easier to locate when i accidently let go of the rope too late and end up whipping it 20 ft into the woods. Easy to clean, all around just a great toy. Also love the large size as having a dog accidently lodge a ball into its throat is a real fear of mine, I do not have to worry about that with this toy. I should also mention the rope is a must, as touching a slobbery ball isn't the greatest feeling in the world and it puts your hands out of harms way. I will forever order these.
