Small Miracles - Helder Guimaraes

Being a new member of The Discourse, I am uncertain if this is the correct place to post my query, but is anyone able to give me a steer as to where I could get my hands on this at all?

No, you're in the right place.

There a lot of places selling that DVD.  Here's the product page at Penguin Magic:

If you want to get more in-depth, Dan and Dave Buck, identical-twin magicians and cardists, have a superior library of magic books, DVDs and downloadable or streaming videos.  They've got six titles by Helder, including one book.  I really love their book selection - most magic shops online have moved away from books while they've embraced them.

Don, many thanks.

I love the Buck Twins site also, it is the main drain on my wallet..........

I had pinned down the Penguin site amongst others, but everywhere I try seems to be out of stock (some even mentioning discontinued?)

Cheers.

If it's an older product, that's entirely possible.  Have you tried his website?  It's a rare magician these days who produces magic products and DOESN'T have a website through which to sell them.

I've seen none of his magic yet, but I actually got to meet him and his father over lunch with Bill Kalush some weeks ago.  They're both very nice people.  I knew him only by reputation before that.

I just checked - his site is http://thisishelder.com but he has no store there.  That's a first.  You can, however, contact him - if anyone knows where his magic is available, he would be that person!

Thanks Don - yes, I had tried his webpage but there is no retail element there.  Outstanding that you managed to have lunch with him!  For me, he is an absolute genius, and some of his other material is fabulous (Reflections, Red Mirror etc).  I managed to get my hands on his Ontology Project a coupe of years ago, which also now seems discontinued in the main with the exception of being stocked by Magic Apple who now would appear to have exclusive rights; if you can get your hands on this, with 'Deepest Sympathy' is an absolute cracker.
I'll try and drop a note directly to him and see if 'Small Miracles' can be obtained.  Thanks for taking the time and interest to respond to my posts.

I may have some of his lecture notes, but not the DVD. I'd have to check my collection. I'll drop you a message, if anything.

Nurul, very kind - many thanks.
