Dream Gimmick by Jeb Sherrill

The “Dream Gimmick” is a revolutionary, new Zombie Gimmick, created by Jeb Sherrill who brought you the Zombie Re-Animated DVD set. Literally the result of a strange dream, The Dream Gimmick takes your Zombie ball where it has never gone before.

Like a true floating sphere, the ball rises above the foulard and out to the side. It jumps beneath the cloth and flies about like a wild spirit. Rolling forward and back in circles under the foulard. The ball slides up over your shoulder, down to your elbow and even over to the cloth (all of this without any visible movement of the hands). In addition to the many moves it accomplishes that no normal gimmick could do, The Dream Gimmick also overcomes the problem many have with sore fingers and the difficulty of controlling a “coil” style gimmick. You will be able to float any size ball with ease using the “grip” style handle which allows for an incredible amout of control and versatility.

Each gimmick is hand-made by Jeb himself and comes with a professionally made instructional DVD that not only covers basic handling, but also goes beyond into highly difficult moves intended for the serious manipulator. The time has come to float your Zombie... like a dream.

Professor's Nightmare Pro by Royal Magic

Now you can perform one of the most popular rope tricks of all time.

Show three lengths of rope, each of a different length. One is long, the second is of medium length, and the third is a short piece.

Gathering the ropes together, you give them a deft tug. As if made of rubber, the ropes magically stretch and shrink. They are now all the same length!

The ropes are counted, each one seen to be the same length as the others. Then, just as magically, they revert to their original state - three unequal ropes! Everything can now be examined.

The Professors' Nightmare is easy to learn from these illustrated step-by-step instructions (in booklet form). All of the necessary details have been described and illustrated. Three pieces of special, professional-grade rope have also been included so you can get started right away!

Ring Flite by Ronjo

Two of the most spectacular elements in magic...a vanish and an appearance.

Effect

You borrow a finger ring from a spectator and place it in your closed fist. You ask the spectator to hold your fist with his/her hands. When your hand is opened, their ring has vanished!

You explain that they shouldn't worry...last time this happened, you found the ring out in your car. You reach around to your back pocket and bring out your car keys. Clipped to your key case, in the middle of all your keys, is their ring!

Ring Flight comes with a fine quality leather zippered key case and instructions.

***



Linking Bills

Wouldn't it be cool to link bills together like the Chinese Linking Rings?

Here's the deal: two dollar bills are borrowed from a spectator, and, before their eyes in a brief moment, they are magically linked together end to end. No glue. No tape. Real money, that can even be spent!

Since all of us carry money around, this effect just makes sense. It can be done pretty much at anytime. With a little practice, you'll really throw people for a loop with this one. Check it out!

Comes complete with special gaffs and illustrated instructions detailing how to perform this money magic miracle!

Marmaduke The Wonder Mouse (With Mouse) by Mark Lewis

This is the pocket trick of the universe! And this is the best book ever written on it!

You may have seen this performed by a carnival pitchman or magic demonstrator at a fair or exhibition. Briefly the effect is that a tiny little mouse scampers all over the place! It walks along the hand, it turns left, right and even rolls over! It will scamper out of a glass and hop from one deck of cards to another. It is a sensation!!!

Also included in this booklet is a description of the Magic Coin trick and the Spooky Pencil trick. The pencil trick in particular is a fabulous trick in it's own right and was made famous by the inimitable Johnny Neptune a famous Scottish magic pitchman who sold thousands of them.

The pencil will defy the law of gravity, move along the hand up down and sideways finally rising out of a bottle in the most mysterious way.

As a special bonus section we have also included a description of Marmaduke the Mouse's cousin in operation. The cousin is the famous squirmle which walks, crawls and rises out of a glass. It is a furry, fuzzy little creature which looks like a giant worm. Really attention getting.

Pages 19
Mouse Length Approximately 1 3/4" (4.5cm)

Peekaboo by Ronjo

Have them rolling in the aisles!

Effect

A spectator selects a card and is asked to stare at it while you attempt to "read their mind". In the meantime, you take out your Y2K magic wand (actually a telescoping silver wand with a mirror on it). Tell them to concentrate while you try to get good reception. You extend the wand, turning it into an "antenna". Now you place it behind their head and draw them in close for a better transmission. For the first time everyone but your spectator can see the attached mirror.

You try to get a clear view of the card. Everyone is laughing hysterically except for your spectator. Your spectator will be curious as to why they are laughing. Your volunteer will try to turn around and see what you are doing but you will always be one step ahead of them. After the laughter subsides, you show that the back of the mirror has a label printed with the chosen card! This is a very funny bit that is a sure fire hit!

Peekaboo Includes 10 assorted card stickers with a hysterical routine.

***


Christmas Surprise by Wild-Colombini

Effect

You show two sets of different colored cards with Christmas pictures. The spectator selects one of the sets and you shuffle it. The cards of both sets are then dealt face up into two piles to show that all ten of the cards in each set have a different picture on them. However, because one set has been shuffled, the order of the cards in each set is completely different. The spectator again chooses one of the piles and you mix the cards as per the instructions of the spectator. When the cards from both sets are dealt face-up this time, the cards have arranged themselves into matching pairs of Christmas pictures.

Instant reset & completely examinable!

Comes complete with 20 full color cards (10 red back and 10 green back) and instruction sheet.

Rara Avis (Jack Avis) by Anthony Brahams

Sixty Years of Magic from the Private Notebooks of Jack Avis!

After Jack's death in 2004, 28 notebooks were discovered among his vast collection of manuscripts, books and other publications that contained his collected thoughts over the past half century. Some original, some of his own handlings of effects of his friends, some sleights, some tips and ideas but all bearing the stamp that earned him a world reputation for simple, baffling, natural magic. This new, important volume contains much of Jack's original thinking and ideas as well as rare photographs and notes from throughout his sixty years in magic. If you are a serious card person, close–up worker, historian or a magic enthusiast you will want to own this valuable record of the work of a man who devoted every moment of his spare time to the pursuit of magic at its highest level and is honored wherever a deck of cards is shuffled.

Buddha Coin Box Set - Stainless Steel (4-in-one) by Chazpro Magic

This set of coin boxes is a collection of the major variations on the original Okito Box. These are in the style developed by Chazpro Magic, the Buddha Box. This set includes four boxes and one lid. The lid fits seamlessly on any of the 4 boxes. Most boxes for this type of routine are manufactured in brass, which tarnish quickly when being handled. The Buddha Boxes are made of stainless steel and will hold their shine during a performance.
Buddha Boxes are made for performances using American Half Dollars. The boxes in the set include:

* Okito/Magnetic Box - This box will perform the basic functions of the classic Okito box along with the added bonus feature of being able to hold back a steel shimmed coin.
* Boston Box - This box has a secret compartment to hide an extra coin.
* Slot Box - This box is relatively new technology to this field of magic and can create stunning effects. Get ahead of the spectators using this extremely deceptive device.
* Sucker Box - Try as they might, the spectator can not get the coins to fit in the box as demonstrated by the performer seconds before.

Each of the 4 Buddha Boxes comes with its own black cloth pouch and basic routines so you can get started right away. The instructions also point the serious student to more in-depth resources.

Dimensions Approximately 1 3/4" x 1/2" (4.5cm x 1.25cm)

Cheers,
Ning ^_^

Ghost Vision by Andrew Mayne

Andrew Mayne, creator of Gut Buster and ghostbills, presents a 21st century paranormal effect. Using an unprepared borrowed camera phone the magician reveals spectral images of ghosts and premonitions from beyond.

Your spectators watch the display as a dark silhouette crosses the room in real time. A thought of word, image or card appears in a photograph of a spectator’s hand. A haunted face appears in the shadows.

Ghost Vision is a spine-tingling effect that allows you to use a borrowed portable electronics device to create a digital séance that can be saved as photo or movie. It’s easy to perform and works with most camera phones.

24 minute widescreen DVD including an extra bonus effect: The Haunted Keys

Comes with everything needed to perform (cell phone not included).

Running Time Approximately 24min

Gazzo's Tossed Out Deck

Effect

You wrap the deck in rubber bands and throw it out to a punter in the audience.
As your back is turned, you instruct him to open the deck anywhere he likes and remember one of the cards.

In turn you instruct him to throw the deck to anybody in the audience. That person is instructed to do the same thing. This is done to five different punters.

With Gazzo's routine you will have six people standing. You proceed to name each person's card and five of the people who looked at a card will sit down.

As a climax you will still have one person standing, and he will say that you have not yet named his card--which makes for a tricky situation. So you ask him, "If I name your card out loud, will you sit down. You name his card, and he sits down. You get a standing ovation Gazzo style.

A total miracle. Not hard to master.

Comes complete with gimmicked Bicycle Deck and illustrated instruction sheet.

Street Cups by Gazzo

Gazzo is one of the world's legendary street performers. In this ENORMOUS three hour DVD, Gazzo demonstrates and teaches his famous Street Cups routine. This is THE money-making routine Gazzo uses to close all of his street shows. You'll learn everything from placement of the wand to where to stand. You'll learn the moves, the misdirection, the subtleties, and all the presentation tips.

Gazzo teaches you how to do it, and then he teaches you why to do it that way. This is a tried and tested routine. It's being brought to you by way of the streets after over 20 years of live performance experience. Every action in the routine has a purpose. Nothing is left to chance.

First, Gazzo takes you on a tour of his equipment -- The Table Top, The Stand, The Poacher's Pouch, The Gazzo Cups, The Balls, The Hat, etc. Gazzo says, "Professionals can't afford cheap props."

Next, he walks you through the entire routine -- The Beginning Phase, The Middle Phase, and The Final Loads. He even walks you through the wand spin!

Finally, Gazzo invites you to sit in on a teach-in with fellow street pro Guy Collins. Guy is a juggler who is just starting to learn Gazzo's routine. You'll see Gazzo teaching Guy and walking him through the entire routine, correcting any mistakes and explaining why each move is done a certain way.

But, without question, the hi-light of the DVD is the MASSIVE one hour performance section. This is one of the best live street performance sequences ever captured. You'll see how Gazzo interacts with his spectators, how he builds the routine toward the finale, and how he encourages a massive hat.

The passionate student of the cups and balls will find this an invaluable resource.

On the Menu-

Over one hour of live performance footage!
Full in-depth explanation of the routine!
Performance by Gazzo's student, Billy Kidd Angles Section featuring head-on and ceiling cam. Use the angle button on your remote to switch angles.
Teach-in with street performer Guy Collins.
Running Time Approximately 3hr 8min

Ssserpent Ssscroll by Brad Toulouse and Mephysto Magick Studio

Effect

The performer brings out a paperback book and a cloth scroll. The book can be examined and verified as being a regular book. The scroll is opened and seen to be covered with numbers, as well as arcane symbols and pictures of snakes. The snake, the performer explains, is a mystical magickal creature, and is associated with the ability to prognosticate. Being bitten by a snake himself as a child the performer now has this ability! Taking the paperback book between his hands momentarily, the performer seems to go into a deep trance-like state. When he opens his eyes a moment later, he writes something on a piece of paper, folds it up, and places it to the side. The performer now gives the spectator the scroll, as well as several strips of "snake skin" and five "copperheads" (pennies). Using the snakeskin and the coins, the spectator selects five numbers from the scroll. The numbers are totaled. Let's say the total is 87. The performer instructs the spectator to pick up the book, open it to page 87 and read aloud the first word on that page. Let's say the word is "excitement". The spectator is asked to open the paper and in the center the performer has written the word EXCITEMENT!

The book is not gimmicked in any way, use any book!
It is possible to repeat the effect with a different person and have a second different prediction made!
Spectator freely chooses the numbers on the scroll!
Comes complete with scroll, 8 "snakeskin" leather strips and instructions sheet.

Scroll Dimensions Approximately 11" x 9 1/2" (28cm x 24cm)
"Snakeskin" Leather Strip Length Approximately 7" (17.75cm)

Time Stands Still by Dexter's Magic

START CLEAN, END CLEAN.
WATCH CAN BE EXAMINED BEFORE AND AFTER
ROUTINES INCLUDE USING A BORROWED WATCH
PRECISION MADE GIMMICK
ALWAYS READY, NO RESET
EASY TO PERFORM

A watch is shown and verified to be in perfect shape. The performer then does the unthinkable, by slamming the face of the watch down on the edge of a table. When the watch is turned over the crystal is horribly shattered. Retrieving a small cloth, the performer begins to polish the damaged face of the watch. The crystal is shown to be completely repaired and the watch and cloth are handed out for examination.

Holey Sh*t! by Anthony Owen and Pete Firman

Back in the early 1980s Richard Kaufman, Derek Dingle and Ken Krenzel created Holy P.O.D., a visual version of Alex Elmsley’s classic Point of Departure, from a card change effect idea by Gerard Majax.

And now Pete Firman and Anthony Owen have brought it bang into the 21st century with…

HOLEY SH*T!

"A stunningly visual piece of modern card magic"
- Jeff McBride

"JESUS!"
- Andy Nyman

"This is one of the best vanishes of a single playing card I have ever seen!"
- Marc Paul

"With this trick even I could get a TV series!"
- John Archer

"I've been doing Holy P.O.D. since I first read it in Richard's Almanac. It's one of the hidden gems of card magic and it's a real shame that everyone is about to know about it again thanks to Holy Sh*t! Not only is this an excellent version of this effect, but it completely fooled me the first time I saw it. And the second. And the third. Don't buy it - I want it for myself...."
- Paul Wilson

"Was I surprised? Yes. Was I fooled? Yes. Do I know how he did it? No. Did I make the mistake of betting Pete five bucks that I could dope out the method before he showed me the trick? Yes. Do I have that five bucks? No. Did Pete just call Rocco over to break my legs? Yes."
- David Acer

"Watch it with your fingers on the rewind button because the first time around you'll think you missed something. It really is a fooler. The selected card just disappears and there’s not a steal in sight. Definitely the most baffling version I've seen."
- David Britland

What will your audience say?

Comes complete with the special gimmicked Bicycle playing cards and instructional DVD hosted by Pete Firman, star of TV's Monkey Magic, Dirty Tricks, The Secret World of Magic and The Greatest Magic Tricks in the Universe Ever.

Running Time Approximately 33min

Die Cipher Deluxe Set (Stainless Steel) by Chazpro Magic

This deluxe set collects Die Cipher II, the ESP Die, both are constructed of stainless steel, and the Shadow Principle booklet in one convenient package.

Die Cipher II -

Effect

While your back is turned, a spectator examines a solid brass die, a round canister and its lid. He places the die inside the canister, any way he chooses, and remembers the number on top. He places the lid on the canister, sealing the die inside. You turn around, pick up the canister, concentrate for a moment, then announce the number that he is thinking of. You or the spectator can now open the canister, and the predicted number is revealed!

ESP Die Cipher -

Effect

A stainless steel canister, lid and die are examined by a spectator. The die has six different symbols, one on each side. While the performer looks away, a spectator places the die into the canister any way he wants, he then remembers the symbol on the top of the die and then covers the lid. The performer turns around, picks up the box and hands it to the spectator, asking him to hold it and concentrate on his symbol. Next, the performer picks up a piece of paper, concentrates, then draws a symbol. The lid is removed from the box and the performer's paper is turned around...The symbols match!

Shadow Principle -

The Shadow Principle booklet offers additional handling methods and presentations for Die-Cipher II. There is also an explanation of the Shadow Principle...discerning the number by simply looking at the brass canister! Also included are a number of special "eye cards." A mystical, blue eye printed on quality business card stock. This provides a consistent surface for shadow reading. Some of the cards have the numbers 1-6 printed on their backs for a nail-writer prediction.

***

The spectator checks that these are regular dice.

The magician takes the dice and puts them back into the box.

Infantastic by Max Maven

Now in full color!

Effect

A funny and commercial approach to the classic "Baby Gag" trick. You show a prediction, then a list of the names of about 50 celebrities and then ask a spectator to mentally select one of the names. A deck of cards is brought into play. The thought-of name is used to arrive at one card. You partially remove the prediction which shows a picture of a baby, and the magician says that this is the very celebrity the spectator is thinking of...at six months old! After the gag you fully remove the picture and the baby is seen holding a picture of the selected card! Easy, for close-up or parlor.

Comes with Bicycle back Jumbo card professionally printed, a list of celebrity names and routine.

New stuff just in :) Check it out!!!

Sleightly Magical by Dan and Dave Buck

Sleightly Magical is Dan and Dave’s sixth manual of card magic and they would tell you it’s their best yet. The effects are extremely visual and highly effective, the only problem is you’ll have to practice, a lot. Dan and Dave are known for their hardcore, flashy style, and this manual represents none the less. You will enjoy six brand new tricks featuring six original sleights that will entertain you with months of practice. And if that’s not enough, they continue their ongoing repertoire of flourishes with a new concept that is a must learn for any card manipulator. Although the majority of the material is demanding, there is something for everyone. Read through the content descriptions below and just think, the secrets are only a mouse click away.

TiVo 2:
The most visual two-card transposition ever published, and we’re not the only ones saying that. Imagine openly placing a selected card out-jogged in the center of the deck, turning the top card face up and without ever covering either card, they instantly transpose. In addition, you’ll learn an awesome new double lift from the center. This trick rocks on all levels!

Hedbergs Peak:
If you ever need a quick trick to shut that noisy guy up, this is it. It leaves them completely stumped after thinking they had you all along. It’s another quick transposition effect (might as well get them out of the way) but is open for tons of possibilities.

Carnahan Fan:
An instant classic and a must learn for all card manipulators. This is a lighting fast, almost instant, production of a huge fan of cards and then as quick as it appeared, it is gone and the deck is ready to do your bidding. Not too difficult either.

Ginastaire Double:
A beautiful flourishy double lift that spins from the top of the deck. Acts as a great opening for an ambitious card routine or just to produce a double from the top. Even a seasoned professional won’t believe this could be a double.

D.D.C: (discrepancy dribble control)
Similar to Lee Asher’s Losing Control but without having to spread the cards. Very open with practically no movement. Great for both large and small groups alike.

Freestyle Book Test by Greg Arce and Federico Luduena

"once agin we mentalists are fortunate to benefit from Greg's unique perspective - and his obsessive-compulsive disorder - as he brings us what may be the most individualized booktest yet. Read, enjoy, marvel ... you never would have come up with this yourself!"
- John Riggs
Mentalism Legend

The freestyle book test is a powerful book test that you can make at home... with practically any book.

Imagine... you display a book that you say you've had for a long time and have even written and doodled ininside of it... throughout the book there aree notations of cards, serial numbers, dates, locations, names, drawing, highlighting...

A pectator stop at any page and holds onto the book...you begin to call out various words from the book, numbers, doodles, colors, names and all sorts of information.

You've also written in playing cards throughout the book. you have the spectator call out their favorite card and then have them find it in the book...without touching the book you begin to call out information fromthe pages they are looking at... including cards thatare inscribed next to their card!

The freestyle Book Test uses a method that has now been dubbed "The Interlocking Mnemonic Lists." You'll be able to incorporate this method into any of your books plus even incorporate the method into other effects.

Now you can take any book and use your own personal history to make up a book test. And with a little effort, you can do this in any language.

The Freestyle Book test gives you a book test that looks like no other used in mentalism.

This is the very same special material the Kenton has used to make a living doing close-up. This DVD comes with five routines that vary from coin tricks, mentalism, sponges, and cards. Kenton will show you how to preform these tricks like he does...

Extreme Card Magic Volume 1
by Joe Rindfleisch

And now to complete the Rindfleisch series, a Brand New 2-Volume Set Joe Rindfleisch’s Extreme CARD Magic - Card magic . . . with the emphasis on MAGIC!

There are card tricks . . . you know the ones – the pick-a-card-any-card affairs that are usually boring to perform and even more so to watch. Then there’s card magic . . . where the cards do impossible things as if they had a life of their own. Effects like these are a joy to perform and mind-boggling and thoroughly entertaining to watch. This is the realm of Joe Rindfleisch.

The man behind the very popular Extreme Rubber Band Magic and Extreme Coin Magic DVDs, is back and this time, he’s turning his creative energies towards the pasteboards.

In this two-volume series, you’ll see – and learn – some of the most innovative and intertaining card magic ever created.

This is card magic – to the extreme!

VOLUME 1 FEATURES CARD ACTS 1- 3:

CARD ACT 1

MAGIC COIN – Joe’s eclectic approach to Paul Curry’s classic Open Prediction.

10 MATE – A wonderful effect where two cards of like color and value are found by the performer and the spectator. Virtually self-working!

HOMING CARD – A classic given the Rindfleisch treatment! An Ace repeatedly jumps from the table back to a packet of cards held in the performer’s hand. It ends with a finish that you—and your spectators—won’t believe!

HALF-MOON RISING (Joe Rindfleisch & Gene Maze) – A beautiful (and impromptu!) rising card miracle.

PROCESS OF ELIMIN-ACE-TION – Joe combines Twisting the Aces with Hofzinzer’s Four Ace Problem and gets a winning combination!

RUB IT IN THEIR NOSE – A gambling expose where the performer beats four Aces with a Royal Flush. But how? By cheating, of course!

CARD ACT 2

PENCILTRATION– A pen is thrust straight through a card box. When it’s removed, a deck of cards is found inside—completely unharmed!

FOUR IS TWELVE– Cards are continually added to the four Aces yet at the end, when there should be twelve, only the four Aces remain. When they’re turned over, however, there really are twelve!

SWIVEL PINCH & SWIVEL SPIN PRODUCTION – An amazing and easy way to produce any four of a kind from a deck of cards.

GEMINI MATES – Two freely selected cards find the four Aces. A unique version of the classic Hamman plot.

COLLECT CALL – An eye-popping version of the Collectors plot as the four Aces visually vanish from the top of the deck and reappear again with three signed selections between them.

CARD ACT 3

OVERLY AMBITIOUS – A selected card continuously rises to the top of the pack no matter how many times it’s placed in the middle. Sounds familiar, right? It does, right up until the card appears face up on the top, causing the rest of the deck to also turn face up in the process. For the knock-out finish, the selection’s three mates are found reversed.

BLACKS TO JACKS – Four spot cards change into Jacks one card at a time.

FANCY CUT POP OUT – Another great and flourishy way to produce cards as each visibly and mysteriously appears face up as the cards are cut.

ENIE, MEANIE, MIENI, MOE – A selected card is found by a recitation of a classic children’s rhyme.

REVERSE & RISE – Another impromptu card rise as the performer causes a selected card to rise freely – and reversed – from the center of a cased deck of cards!

And now to complete the Rindfleisch series, a Brand New 2-Volume Set Joe Rindfleisch’s Extreme CARD Magic - Card magic . . . with the emphasis on MAGIC!

In this two-volume series, you’ll see – and learn – some of the most innovative and entertaining card magic ever created.

This is card magic – to the extreme!

VOLUME 2 FEATURES CARD ACTS 4-7:

CARD ACT 4

POKER DEALING ACES – Four Aces mysteriously vanish yet the performer, as he deals out a round of Poker, is able to make them reappear in any hand the spectator chooses.

UP UP AND AWAY – A spot card rises, one position at a time, right through a four-card packet to finally, and visibly, appear right on top!

ACES TO KINGS TRANSPO – The four Aces are placed reversed into the center of the deck. The four Kings, set aside earlier, suddenly change into Aces. When the deck is spread, the reversed cards are the Kings!

TRIUMPHANT TRIUMPH – A deck, shuffled face up into face-down, is magically righted except for one card – a previously-peeked selection. A great version of the Triumph plot – and it’s all done in the hands!

A NEW MYTH (Joe Rindfleisch & Ken Krenzel) – The deck is divided into two halves and two spectators each peek at a card in a different half. The packets are mixed yet when the cards are dealt out, the two selections appear at exactly the same position in each. A wonderful new take on the classic Smith’s Myth.

CARD ACT 5

STILL POINTING – Joe’s version of Elmsley’s Point of Departure. A selected card vanishes from between two Jokers and reappears reversed in the pack.

JAZZ IN ORDER – In this completely revamped take on Peter Kane’s Jazz Aces, three cards vanish one at a time when placed between two Jokers, only to assemble with the leader card.

3 CARD OBSERVATION TEST – It’s just an Ace, a Two and a Three – just three cards – but the spectators are unable to keep track of them no matter how closely they watch.

SIGNED SANDWICH – In this terrific variation of Hamman’s The Signed Card, a selected and signed card turns out to be the card that was lying in plain sight even before the effect began.

THROWN UP SANDWICH – A selected card is placed into the center of the pack yet it instantly appears between two Jokers on the top.

CARD ACT 6

NEW SLOP SHUFFLE – A spectator selects a card from amongst 26 and those cards are then shuffled face up into face down. The cards are then spread and all of them have righted themselves save for one – the spectator’s selection.

DIVIDER CARD (Joe Rindfleisch & Marc DeSouza) – An oil and water effect based on Roy Walton’s Divided We Stand. Six red cards and six black cards are shuffled by the spectators and placed above and below a Joker. When the cards are turned over, it’s found that the spectators (and the Joker) have separated the colors.

JOE CARTOON – A photograph of the performer, glued to the back of a Joker, magically changes several times to finally reveal a spectator’s selected card.

CARD ACT 7

CARD CASE REVELATION – The image of a selected card suddenly appears on the card case – well, half of it. The deck is removed from the box and the other half of the card is found inside.

NO GAFF PRINCESS CARD – The classic Princess Card Trick – with absolutely no gimmicked cards! A classic of magic now ready to perform anytime!

BETWEEN THE SHEETS – The card to impossible place plot just took on a entirely new meaning. A selected and signed card is found in the middle of a roll of toilet paper.

Ring on Rope (World Greatest Magic)
by L&L Publishing

On this DVD, you’ll find seven different approaches to the Ring on Rope from six masters. Aldo Colombini begins and ends this volume with two distinctly different – and decidedly Aldo-esque – routines. The first combines a plastic ring, a length of rope and some great gags into a routine that will amaze and entertain just about any audience. The other is a two-ring routine with many visual surprises. Daryl and Eric DeCamps both offer a routine with a small harness ring and a cord that are both perfect for walk-around performers while Flip showcases a routine with a linking ring and a piece of rope that can bring this classic of magic to the biggest stage. Mark Leveridge performs and teaches a simple three-phase routine that integrates a presentation that is guaranteed to get your audiences involved in the magic while Frank Balzerak presents a routine that not only uses some of the classic Ring and Rope sequences but also incorporates elements of the classic Cut and Restored Rope.

Ring on Rope routines are quick, visual and extremely magical . . . and on this DVD, you’ll see, and learn, in the routines presented just about every move ever invented. Learn them the way they’re taught, or mix and match the moves to create your very own Ring on Rope extravaganza!

Scotch & Soda, Dime & Penny, ChinaTown Half (World Greatest Magic)
by L&L Publishing

This volume features three more ingenious gimmicked coins and the miracles that can be accomplished with them. David Roth begins by demonstrating and teaching one of the most popular gimmicked coin effects ever created, Scotch and Soda, and you’ll learn the proper way to handle the coin set to maximize its impact. Paul Diamond adds his own important touches (including some very important handling details about loading the coin) and a completely different routine. The standard Dime and Penny set is up next and David Roth performs and teaches an incredibly strong, basic routine. Jeff Sheridan combines two classic effects utilizing the Dime and Penny set by first visually changing a penny into a dime and then passing the dime straight through a solid object. Garrett Thomas brings the Dime and Penny into the 21st century as he magically removes a dime from the middle of a stack of pennies while it’s in the spectator’s hand! Finally, David Roth teaches two routines with the Chinatown Half. The first combines this clever gaffed coin with some basic sleight of hand in a multi-phased routine that enables the performer to begin and end clean. The second routine is a great basic routine that is virtually self-working yet will enable you to perform a jaw-dropping transposition of two coins while one of them is in a closed envelope.

Scotch and Soda, the Dime and Penny and the Chinatown Half are truly devilish gaffed coin tricks and if you’ve invested in any or all of them, you owe it to yourself to learn the best way to use them – and what better way than to learn from some of the best magicians in the world!

Dual Cyclone
by Paul Knight

Effect

The Magician has two cards in his pocket. The pocket is shown otherwise empty.

A spectator is invited to "physically" select either card without looking at the card's face. Then the spectator mentally selects and names any card.

The Magician explains that this is an experiment in physical and mental abilities.

He states that he knew they would pick this card.
The chosen card is turned face up to reveal a prediction:
"THIS IS THE CARD YOU WILL PICK PHYSICALLY".

The Magician explains that they could have chosen to "physically" remove either card.

The magician points out that if the spectator had chosen to remove the other card, well, that would have just been insane, because that was the card the selected "mentally"!

The spectator removes the only card in the magicians pocket.
It is their mental selection!

Any card can be thought of. It will always be their card!
No palming.
No Forcing.
No rough and smooth.
No indexes.
Only two cards in the pocket at the begining.
Only one card in the pocket at the end.
The spectator removes both cards!
Instantly resets.

Simple And Direct (SAD) Mentalism
by Looch

From the mind of one of Mentalism's rising stars comes an important book of practical, simple and direct mentalism.

Why should you be interested in this book? Because it features powerful, entertaining close-up mentalism that has been sharpened to a razor's edge by constant use in the real world. Looch only performs direct, uncluttered effects that are guaranteed to astound an audience. Overcoming one of the problems with a lot of mentalism material, Looch has devised clever ways of retaining the element of surprise in his work, which elevates the material, even standard plots, to new levels of astonishment.

If you've ever wished that you had available effects that were more visual, presentations that were more engaging and methods that were more practical, then this book will delight you.

Design duplications, photographic-memory stunts, predictions, impossible co-incidences, ESP tests and psychic control are all given the Looch treatment and prove fertile ground for his beguiling presentations.

He even has a routine that will let you fake Superman's most well-known powers!

In all, there are over a dozen complete 'Simple and Direct' routines, plus three bonus effects, along with Looch's thinking on his approach to working with billets, books, playing cards and other props in a mentalism context.

The clarity of these performance pieces allows the mentalist to concentrate on the essence of each effect, communicating to the spectators a believable yet utterly incredible premise that they will be talking about long after the performance is over. If you want strong, contemporary material that will leave a lasting impression on your audiences, then this is it.

Pages 109

Routines Include:

Lost in the Shadow

Effect

The performer holds a coin laid across his fingers, he explains that by using certain words and phrases he can literally convince the spectator that he can affect their sense of touch. The coin is held under the spectators hand and he is asked if he can feel the coin? Yes comes the response, the performers hand does not move from this point on, yet when the spectator is asked again if he can feel the coin. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot! Impromptu mentalism inspired by traditional deceptive methodology…Simple And Direct!

A watch presentation

Effect

The performer is seated with two spectators, preferably a married couple or 2 people in a long term relationship. Both the spectators are instructed to take off their watches and to "synchronise" them by setting both to the exact, identical time.

One watch is then held by its owner securely in their hand. The other watch is changed to a random time by its owner. The time set is called aloud and when the first spectator who has been holding onto to their watch looks at the face, it shows the exact time their partner has set on their watch! Best of all, this effect is completely impromptu and can be performed any time there is a couple with their own watches.

Banachek has asked for permission to include this gem into a forthcoming release of his!

Wake up Dr. Rhine

Effect

A personal favourite of mine! This ESP Card effect will astound your audiences every time. An incredible 3 phase routine where the performer influences the spectators to do what he wants and each and every time it works!

Phase 1

Through the use of Psychical gesture and conscious influence the performer is able to psychologically direct the spectator into selecting the only matched up symbol in 2 rows of ESP cards.

Phase 2

Moving into the area of unconscious influence the performer makes a written prediction of what he would like the spectator to do. The spectator switches places of a number of ESP cards and upon turning them face up. The written prediction matches 100%

Phase 3

For the Finale the spectator is influenced to switch certain Face down ESP cards to create a 100% perfect ESP match up

This is really one of the strongest, if not, THE STRONGEST ESP card routine you can do!

"Wake up Dr. Rhine is Pure class…VERY STRONG thinking!!!"
- Lee Darrow

The Glitch


Create Deja'vu

Effect

A theatrical piece of Bizarre Magick. Only for the truly gifted! A spectator is seated with the performer who strangely introduces himself, he asks the spectator for payment…a coin will do, it is physically bent in the performers hand, and is passed back to the spectator who pockets it. A passer-by enquires the time, The spectator is then demanded to mentally think of a loved one and to concentrate on that person, to focus on their very soul.

A weathered old deck of Tarot cards is brought forth, wrapped in a tatty ribbon, the spectator is told to take one and write their loved ones name upon it. The card is hidden from view inside an old leather holder, the deck is squared and placed aside.

The performer visible twitches and contorts…A Passer by enquires the time, the same time is given, the watch has gone back in time. The performer strangely introduces himself, he asks for payment, the spectator looks confused. The coin is passed back to the performer but something's wrong, the coin is no longer bent. The performer continues…

He asks the spectator to mentally think of a loved one and to concentrate upon their very soul. The spectator interrupts the performer stating that he has already done this, but alas, it is of no use, the selected tarot card with the name scrawled upon has vanished. It has found itself back into the tarot deck. The name has disappeared along with any traces of the last few minutes, well the name hasn't disappeared fully, it instead resides safely in the mind of the performer waiting for it to be revealed!

How is that done?!

Effect

How many times have we as performers heard something along those lines? "how do you do that?" "Can I learn that kinda stuff?"

How is that done?! is something you can to do when posed with that irritating question!

The performer gives nothing away and comes out looking even better, what more can you ask for?

Double D

Effect

A Brilliant new Drawing Duplication that can be done anywhere at anytime! The effect has been written up as if it was being performed in a pub or bar but can be easily changed to suit any environment.

Double D features a fantastic BOLD principle that will leave you giggling inside. You will LOVE this, I certainly Do!!!

"F*****g Brilliant!"
- Owner of Mentalismplus

Superman (Midas Required)

Effect

Ever wanted the powers of the Man of Steel? Me too, that's why I developed this routine, imagine…

5 spectators stand in a line, one of them hides a coin in their hands. By getting the spectators to convince themselves they have Superman's ability of X-Ray Vision, the performer is able to determine which spectator is hiding the coin. That spectator is told not to show the coin instead he is to continue hiding it from view. The performer explains that by using a special ability utilised by some of superman's greatest villains he is able to mentally break down the spectator into giving him the information he needs, in this case the denomination & date of the hidden coin.

The spectator is asked a series of questions and can be seen and heard to be breaking down mentally! The information is too much to keep and the performers mind steals it and reveals it aloud for the spectator to confirm.

For a finale the spectator is asked which other super power would he like to own… Superstrengh comes the answer and the performer instructs the spectator to imagine he can crush the coin in his hand by squeezing it and believing in it. After a few moments the spectator opens his hand and reveals the coin has been crushed by his new found superpower! The coin is kept as a souvenir!

Red Sky @ Night

Pseudo NLP & Body language reading with playing cards

Effect

The performer hands a spectator a deck of playing cards and instructs them to remove any 3 red cards and any 3 black cards. Once done the performer explains that by reading the spectators body language and visual cues he is able to determine certain pieces of information from them, contrary to popular belief, the effects that he carries out have nothing whatsoever to do with the supernatural or being psychic, its something anyone can do, if they study long enough!

No Forces or Peeks!

Nod to Pocket watch

Effect

A shocking prediction based effect, hidden under the guise of a informal discussion on "Free Will"

The performer and spectator are engrossed in a conversation discussing the concepts of free will, the spectator is asked to name anything she desires, a name, a country, a loved one, anything… the performer enquires whether the word just named was a result of free will or is it possible that it could have been predetermined at the very start of time.

As the conversation begins to take shape the performer offers to demonstrate his own theory of free will, a prediction is made and laid face down on the table. ANY playing card is taken out of a deck by the spectator and laid face down next to the prediction, upon turning them both face up they match 100% was the selected card a result of free will or again predetermined by something else?

The spectator believes they have witnessed a good trick, but is forced to question their belief as a small Pill Tin that has been in full view from the start is opened and the contents tipped into the spectators' hand. The content is a written prediction that matches the word named aloud by the spectator at the very start of the routine!!!

This routine can be adapted to suit any performing style, if playing cards are not your thing then you can use something else, for example, spectator can set his watch to a unseen time and the performer can 100% predict the correct time.

Intuitive Aii

The Performer, utilises his skills of "Photographic Memory & Rapid Calculation" to create an Unbelievably Realistic Effect using a regular deck of playing cards.

Phase 1

Imagine being able to take a mental snapshot of a spread deck of cards and immediately being able to name the number of face up cards in that spread… the cards have been mixed face up & face down thoroughly by the spectator and yet you can do this in less than a second!

Phase2

The same process is repeated but this time instead of spreading the cards, they are merely riffled through at break neck pace with the spectator & performer both trying to keep count of the face up cards they see, the number is stated and upon the spectator counting them, the performer is proved to be correct again!

Phase3

For an unbelievable finale, the performer states that whilst he and the spectator were trying to count the number of face up cards during the riffle, he not only committed the identity of the face up cards to memory but by a process of elimination the performer can name the still face down cards in the deck IN ORDER as he has been memorising the order of the deck throughout the entire routine!

He does and names each card in the exact order at such a rate that the spectator struggles to keep up with him as he turns the cards face up!

No marked cards, No confederates, can be done with any deck of cards!

Don't miss this month's order deadline ;) It ends next week!

Magic Of Ascanio Vol.2 - Studies Of Card Magic
by Arturo Ascanio

The Magic of Ascanio offers you, in four volumes, the complete work of the Maestro who changed the direction of magic in Spain and influenced many successful performers. Learn all about the legacy of a true master of our art: his ground-breaking theories, his legendary card routines and sleights, and his magic with pocket knives.

Studies of Card Magic
This second volume, with forewords by Roberto Giobbi and Aurelio Paviato, contains an exhaustive study of the Ascanio Spread and its variants, and all the lay-downs. These sleights, the cornerstones of Ascanio’s magic, have never been explained so thoroughly before. Careful study of this section alone will give you a complete understanding of these marvelous sleights.

Get ready for the pleasant journey of studying the early versions of Ascanio’s classics. Oil and Water using the Ascanio Spread (a three-phase routine) and Father Ace and Sons (versions 66 and 67) will take you into the wonderful world of Ascanio's routining. See the theory in action, with examples of concepts explained in the first volume, such as the Parenthesis of Forgetfulness, the Anti-Contrasting Parenthesis, Stressing the Initial Situation, Slow Execution, misdirection, and the In-Transit Actions.

The next three chapters include magic by Ascanio's mentors, Kaps and Carles, by his colleagues Dany Ray and Fu Manchu, and by one of his idols in magic: Ed Marlo, all with the Ascanio treatment. This section contains tricks shown to Ascanio by these great masters.

Chapter Seven includes Ascanio’s favorite routines: If You Don’t Pay Attention…, Aunt Enriqueta’s Aces, The Trick I Would Show Dai Vernon, Sleightless Oil and Water (or so it seems), and Aces with Love.

In Chapter Eight two other Ascanio favorites are described: The Wriggling Aces and Don’t Blink! Revisited. The Trick I Would Show Dai Vernon is a lesson on Conditioned Naturalness, and The Wriggling Aces was part of his winning act at FISM in Amsterdam 1970.

Chapter Nine includes two Ascanian classics: A Baroque Transposition and The Mechanical Strength of Thought.

Chapter Ten finally brings you some of Ascanio's minor masterpieces such as: Dolores’s Trick, The Pathology of Cards, X - 1 = 0, Triumph, Eight-Card Oil and Water, The Nine Facts, Antagonistic Aces, and A Hunger for Dreaming.

Pages 320 and 390 illustrations.

Asylum Wrist Restraint by Blaine Harris

Escape Artists; Magicians...

From the archives of Blaine Harris, we present the Asylum Wrist Restraint (Yes. It's the same Blaine Harris some of you may remember from Premier 75 Magic Studio back in 1975). The Asylum Wrist Restraint is completely examinable and can be used as a feature escape or as part of a larger effect (Sub Trunk, Torture Board, Spirit Cabinet, Packing Crate, etc.).

Based on a very old principle, this new version has some improvements that make it easier and more fool-proof than its predecessors. This restraint is 100% hand-made by Blaine and is designed for years of tough service. The leather is thick top-quality American Latigo Cowhide.

The performer's wrists are bound as tightly as possible by an audience member yet release is instantaneous and completely under the control of the performer. The wrist restraint has a new added feature in a buckle that can receive a padlock making it look really impossible! The lock can even be sealed for extra effect. The restraint is ungimmicked and no extra keys or special hidden equipment necessary. It may even be placed on an audience member proving escape impossible.

What you receive:

* 22" long adjustable heavy leather belt restraint
* Padlock to fit the locking buckle
* 7 page color instruction booklet with photos by my good friend Allen Zingg. These instructions contain valuable tips and suggestions for performances as well as "how-to!"

Whispers Four Times Three by John F. Mendoza

The Magician goes through the deck as the spectator stops him at three unkown cards, which are placed face down on the table. The spectator calls out four picture cards (Kings, Queens, etc...) they are extraced from the deck. The four cards are placed on top of the first face down card. The Magician magically reveals the cards one at a time... but wait, the cards now have somehow switched places with four cards. But that's not the best part, the kings are now Aces!

The performer now askes how many cards were taken. Let's say the answer is 7. The magician counts 1 to 7 on the card clock and turns over the 7th card and calls it out. Let's sat it is the King of Clubs, the Performer asks the spectator to open the prediction. Prediction says "Sorry, I am very tired today - all i can tell you is that you will not choose the 2 of diamonds" - WHAT A LET DOWN, But when the spectator looks at the cards he/she counted off, they are all 2 OF DIAMONDS! The other 11 cards in the clock are ALL 2 OF DIAMONDS. The rest of the cards in the deck are ALL 2 OF DIAMONDS - I TOLD YOU IT WAS INSIDE- OUT!! This is a very effective, very easy to do and loads of laughs.

Split Decision
by Kenton Knepper

A Truly Twisted Effect!

Two cards are freely chosen. The performer claims the card on the table is his prediction of both free selections.

The prediction however has two backs and no faces! The performer splits this prediction card in two.

The prediction card becomes both selected cards! These cards can even be signed.

Without hesitation or odd moves, the two cards are then squeezed back into one “all backs” card… but that’s STILL not all!

A snap of the fingers and the card turns inside out, making a double face card of the two chosen cards!

Straight to the effects, with no funny sleights. Weird, visual magic that is truly different.

Note: The rest of the deck is entirely examinable.

NO PALMING

NO FORCES

Simple, basic sleights and common fundamentals required only, along with the special card enclosed. If you can use a key card or control two cards to the bottom of the deck, you can do this trick immediately.

THE SPECIAL CARD MAKES THE CRAZY EFFECTS POSSIBLE.

Audiences can’t believe what they are seeing! All the changes are quick and clean.

It's now easier than you would ever imagine!

Comes complete with full instructions and a very special Bicycle card.
Use your own red Bicycle Poker deck.

Krazy Kard
by Kenton Knepper

Make ‘Em Crazy!

A spectator chooses ANY card — a free choice. Instantly it is shown to be the only blue card in the red deck.

But in a blink of an eye, their card turns into a red backed card again! This is QUICK and VISUAL.

A second later, it turns into a blue back once more.

The back of their chosen card keeps changing with seemingly no moves at all.

Just a flip or a snap, and the card changes by turning it over.

Straight to the magical effect, no delay, no nonsense. How a real color changing card was meant to look.

The performer claims that trying to change the card too many times causes trouble, and the card is finally seen to have

NO FACE at all but rather TWO DIFFERING COLOR BACKS.

This card can be freely shown — it is one card only. The rest of the deck may be examined completely. A special method developed by Kenton Knepper does all of the work for you. You don’t even have to do a double lift. Kenton has remade a classic effect he performed in his younger, technical card days, into a trick anyone can now do. It's a classic bit with a distinctly Kenton edge and gimmick.

THE SPECIAL CARD DOES IT ALL.

Kenton has performed this effect to rave reactions with real people in real world performing situations.

Audiences laugh, freak out, and never know that this crazy, fast-paced and eye-popping effect is probably the easiest trick you will ever do!

The gimmick allows you to show the card fairly and openly, time and time again. You can even flip it around in your fingers showing all sides.

NO double stick tape. The deck may be shuffled freely without concern. NO difficult moves. NO noisy sticking or prying. Nothing to get messy in your pocket. No rough/smooth

NO SLEIGHTS REQUIRED

And to top it all off - it's not expensive. We've made it easy to play with this gimmick and find your own interesting applications for magic and mentalism.

Comes complete with instructions and special Bicycle card.
Use your own red Bicycle deck or you can even borrow a deck and sneak this single card gimmick in to do the whole routine with their borrowed deck.

Khameleon Deck
by Kenton Knepper

A Full Deck Stunner!

Effect

Cards are singly and clearly dealt one at a time on to the table. Each is seen to have a blue back. The performer cautions the spectator not to be influenced in any way.

A spectator chooses any card at all. It is the only red back card. But that’s just for starters...

Suddenly all the blue back cards freely shown and dealt on to the table become red back cards too.

These cards are placed on to the blue deck, and now the entire deck turns into red backed cards as well!

The deck can be fanned, shuffled, spread out—the cards have all red backs and the faces are seen to be entirely normal.

Straight to the effect, without any nonsense.

There is even an additional bit where a card placed into the pocket becomes another card, and the original card turns blue! The deck is entirely examinable.

No sleights required.

You don’t even have to do a double lift.

THE SPECIAL CARD MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE.

It doesn’t seem possible, but that’s the truth.

Kenton has performed this effect to rave reactions with real people in real world performing situations.

Audiences laugh, freak out, and never know that this crazy, eye-popping effect is one of the easiest tricks you may ever do!

Comes complete with full instructions and special Bicycle card.
Use your own red Bicycle Poker deck.

Stabbed
by Howard Flint

Not just another card found by stabbing the wrapped deck with a knife. But ,did you ever see it done where the spectator moves the wrapped deck under the knife point held by the magician and the knife move to follow the deck "searching for the card?" This will blow them away. Complete with a special dagger to complete this spooky miracle. Presemtation as only Howard can state it.

Tri-Epic
by Devon Knight

If you are looking for a large visual stage mental effect, then look no further!

Tri-Epic is an updated mental epic type effect, but without the old fashion chalk boards, and WITH NO ONE-AHEAD method.

Tri-Epic is new, novel and different!

If you liked David Copperfield's Graffiti Effect then you will love this. Creates a similar effect WITHOUT ANY OFFSTAGE OR SECRET ASSISTANTS! It's direct from Devin Knight's own touring show and has been an audience pleaser for over 3 years. It's based on a John Moyer idea that Devin improved upon.

Effect

Performer invites 3 people on stage. These are not stooges and no pre-show work has been done. A 17" x 23" corkboard is seen on an easel. Clipped to it is an envelope. Inside is a prediction and this is given to one of the spectators to hold before the effect begins.

One person freely selects the front page of one of three newspapers on a table. No force of any kind, the one he picks up to pin to the corkboard is the one used.
That clean.

A deck of jumbo cards is shown to be all different. Performer takes one card at a time in his hand and allows another person to say stop at any time. The card you are holding is given to them. They can change their mind if they want too as many times as they like until they decide on a card.

The third person is shown a clear bag of markers just like they came from the store. A clear bag complete with the real brand name and barcode. Doesn't appear to be a magic prop, but an actual bag of markers bought from an office supply store. He reaches in and selects one.

He draws a picture of the selected on the newspaper using his chosen marker. The person holding the prediction opens it, NOT THE MAGICIAN and removes a folded newspaper from it. When the paper is opened it is the same front page of the freely chosen newspaper. Drawn on the paper in the same color marker as chosen by the third person is the selected card chosen by the 2nd person!

Includes the new improved store bag for the marker selection. This bag can be used in other routines and is the most convincing and logical way to select a marker on the market today. Includes two other handlings for the selection of a marker not using the clear bag. In one version the spectator selects a marker from a handful held behind his back and this is used to draw the card.

Comes complete with large corkboard, jumbo card deck, marker bag, envelopes and easel. The revised directions are now a nicely produced spiral bound book.
