Christian is amazing! He's the curator of the recently opened (yet been around for a long time) Surnateum! Right hand man to the museum's mysterious founder 'The Collector', and he has a daughter named Fay who does witchcraft. She's twenty now, but there's a picture of her when she was probably 11 on the museum's website.
Thanks for sharing this. Mr. Chelman rarely performs in front of the camera. The beauty about his style is that it doesn't look like he actually manipulates the cards. It all looks fair and then the magic happens.
I highly recommend the articles about him in Genii and Magic Magazine, both October issues 2007. His vision of the art of magic is very inspiring.
What a treat to finally be able to see this legendary performance. Truly great stuff here ! These are 2 card routines which inspired me to perform card magic. I still regularly perform both. Christian is famous for his bizzare magic but he is also a true great with a deck of cards. In this field he does not get the recognition he deserves. I hope one day he will finally give these routines a name and publish them. They are to good to be allowed to pass off into obscurity.

Thanks for the feedback! I am in the lucky position of being Christian's only student. Don't ask what I had to do!! :-)
He recently pointed me to your version of his version of McDonald's Aces and I must say I was pleased with your polished performance.
It was solid, smooth and very OLD SCHOOL! Excellent stuff! Keep up the good work!
