Don Alan Greater Magic Video
The Don Alan Greater Magic Video is a 90-minute video of Don Alan performing and explaining his "Pretty Sneaky" act, first released in 1988 by Stevens Magic Emporium, and released in 2005 on DVD by Twin Cities Magic. In the late eighties, when Don decided to finally retire after a long and successful career performing magic, he decided to shoot the video as an offering to magicians of the practical, working material he had used to make a living. In fact, the original VHS title was Don Alan: How to Earn a Living. Many close-up magicians consider it one of the best magic videos ever created.
