What if you could create incredible card magic using nothing more than a deck of playing cards and an ordinary paper clip?
With The Vault – REDtention by Rojo, you'll discover a creative approach to card magic that transforms a simple everyday object into a powerful tool for producing impossible-looking effects.
This instructional video download explores techniques that allow magicians to perform convincing vanishes, clever switches, and surprising card controls using paper clips alongside playing cards.
Sometimes the simplest objects can create the strongest magic!
Take Your Card Magic to Another Level
Card magic has been a favorite among magicians for generations, but finding fresh ways to present familiar effects can make a big difference in how audiences react.
That's where REDtention comes in.
Rojo explores how ordinary paper clips can be incorporated into card routines to create visual and deceptive moments.
The download covers several useful techniques, including:
Card controls: Learn methods for secretly controlling playing cards during your routines.
Retention-of-vision vanishes: Explore visual techniques designed to make objects appear to disappear.
Card switches: Discover ways to create surprising changes and unexpected outcomes.
Practical routines: Learn presentations developed with real-world performances in mind.
Creative applications: Find new possibilities for combining simple office supplies with traditional card magic.
The techniques are described as easy to perform, making this an interesting option for magicians who want to expand their repertoire without relying on elaborate equipment.
Why Ordinary Objects Make Great Magic
One of the most appealing aspects of REDtention is its use of something almost everyone recognizes: a paper clip.
When a magician brings out an unusual prop, spectators may immediately suspect that the object has something to do with the secret.
But when the magic involves familiar items, such as playing cards and paper clips, the experience can feel more spontaneous.
For close-up magicians, restaurant performers, and anyone who enjoys performing card tricks for friends and family, that can be a valuable advantage.
It's also a reminder that creating entertaining magic doesn't always require expensive gimmicks or complicated equipment.
Sometimes all you need is a little creativity and a new way of looking at ordinary objects.
Practical Magic for Real-World Performances
One of the biggest considerations when learning a new magic trick is whether it will work outside the controlled environment of an instructional video.
REDtention emphasizes practical presentations and time-tested routines.
Rather than focusing entirely on complicated moves, the material is designed to provide usable techniques that magicians can incorporate into their existing card magic.
Whether you're looking for a new visual moment, an unusual card control, or a clever switch, this download offers ideas worth exploring.
Learn REDtention by Rojo – Instant Video Download
The Vault – REDtention by Rojo is a digital instructional magic download, allowing you to learn the techniques without waiting for a physical product to arrive.

What does it take to become one of the most sought-after children's entertainers in your area?
For magician Eric Knaus, better known as The Great Zucchini, the answer involves much more than knowing a few good magic tricks.
Building a successful children's entertainment business requires an understanding of young audiences, effective marketing, strong branding, and the ability to keep children laughing from beginning to end.
In his instructional DVD, Kidshow Rockstar, The Great Zucchini shares the techniques and business strategies that helped him become one of the best-known preschool entertainers in the Washington, D.C., area.
Originally presented as a live lecture at Kapital Kidvention 2011, this program offers valuable lessons for magicians, clowns, family entertainers, and anyone interested in building a successful children's entertainment business.
Who Is The Great Zucchini?
Eric Knaus, professionally known as The Great Zucchini, has built his reputation entertaining young children, particularly preschool audiences.
His energetic, silly, and highly interactive performances have made him a recognizable name in children's entertainment throughout the Washington, D.C., region.
Unlike magicians who focus primarily on complicated sleight of hand or elaborate illusions, The Great Zucchini emphasizes something equally important: understanding what makes young children laugh.
His approach combines comedy, audience participation, and age-appropriate entertainment to create performances that children enjoy and parents remember.
That ability to connect with his audience has played an important role in his success.
What Will You Learn from Kidshow Rockstar?
One of the most interesting aspects of Kidshow Rockstar is that it goes beyond teaching magic tricks.
The DVD explores the business and performance skills necessary to build a successful career entertaining children.
1. Building Your Brand and Becoming a Local Celebrity
How do you become the entertainer parents immediately think of when planning a birthday party?
The Great Zucchini discusses branding strategies designed to help performers stand out in a competitive market.
The goal isn't simply to book one performance. It's to create a recognizable entertainment business that generates referrals and repeat customers.
2. Keeping Children's Attention
Anyone who has performed for preschool audiences knows that maintaining their attention can be challenging.
Young children are naturally curious, energetic, and easily distracted.
The DVD discusses ways to minimize distractions and keep audiences engaged throughout a performance.
3. Making Shy Children Feel Comfortable
Audience participation can be one of the most memorable parts of a children's magic show.
However, not every child enjoys being the center of attention.
The Great Zucchini shares approaches for helping shy children feel included without making them uncomfortable.
This is an especially valuable skill for performers working with younger audiences.
4. Handling Parents During Performances
Children aren't the only audience members a magician must consider.
Parents sometimes talk during performances, interrupt routines, or unintentionally distract the children.
Kidshow Rockstar addresses ways to manage these situations while maintaining a positive atmosphere.
5. Getting Repeat Bookings and Referrals
For professional entertainers, repeat business is incredibly important.
The DVD explores ways to encourage satisfied customers to recommend your services and book additional performances.
Word-of-mouth advertising can be particularly valuable in children's entertainment, where parents frequently ask friends and family for recommendations.
More Than 90 Minutes of Magic and Business Advice
Kidshow Rockstar features over 90 minutes of instructional content, including The Great Zucchini's complete live lecture from Kapital Kidvention 2011.
The lecture was voted the convention's number-one lecture, according to the DVD's original promotional description.
In addition to the lecture, viewers receive bonus footage featuring actual performances with children.
This is particularly useful because it allows magicians to observe how some of the ideas discussed in the lecture translate into real entertainment situations.
Rather than simply hearing about audience management and comedy techniques, viewers can see examples of The Great Zucchini interacting with young audiences.
Why Children's Magicians Should Study More Than Magic Tricks
As someone who has performed professionally since 1996, including thousands of family and children's shows, I've learned that knowing how to entertain an audience is just as important as knowing how to fool them.
You can perform an incredible magic trick, but if you don't understand your audience, the effect may not receive the reaction you expected.
This is especially true when entertaining preschool children.
A routine that works beautifully for adults might completely lose an audience of four-year-olds.
Successful children's entertainment requires a different approach to pacing, comedy, participation, and presentation.
That's why I believe studying successful working entertainers can be valuable, regardless of how long you've been performing.
There's always something new to learn!
Who Should Watch Kidshow Rockstar?
This DVD may be particularly useful for:
Children's magicians looking to improve their performances.
Birthday party entertainers who want to increase bookings.
Preschool and daycare performers interested in better audience management.
Clowns and family entertainers seeking new comedy ideas.
Professional magicians wanting to improve their branding and marketing.
Beginning entertainers hoping to develop a successful children's entertainment business.
Even experienced performers may discover useful ideas for strengthening their shows or improving how they market their services.
