Magic evolves. A sleight or effect, once created, doesn’t just remain the same. It grows and learns, like a living creature, and we learn from it.

Wayne Houchin has been in the process of evolving two of his creations. We already told you about Sinful: The Graphic Novel. But another project he has coming out takes a heart-stopping (literally) effect and expands it in several different directions.

In Control, you make your heart stop at your command as a spectator feels your pulse slow, then stop. Control: The Directors Cut features everything in the original Control DVD, but also includes new presentations, ideas and interviews, including:

• An effect called Stop by Daniel Garcia, which allows a spectator to hear your heart slow, then stop, as if you were knockin’ on heaven’s door.
• An interview with Dexter, of Criss Angel’s Mindfreak.
• Remember Randall? He’s back. We’ll leave it at that.

Control: The Director’s Cut features more than 143 minutes of Houchin’s teaching, performances, tips and more dealing with this death-defying effect. It is impromptu and chillingly convincing. It requires no gimmicks or gadgets under your arm. It will be available from Ellusionist very soon.
