En ninguna página de "Aquelarre" encontrarás manipulaciones difíciles, ni la utilización de materiales que no estén al alcance de la mano. A primera vista puede que algunos de los trucos te parezcan 'inofensivos', sin posibilidades de éxito de público. Todo lo contrario. Si esto no puede afirmarse en ninguna rama del ilusionismo, mucho menos en el mentalismo. El público quiere creer en lo que estás presentando y quiere participar. El éxito depende de la presentación y de la participación del público. Más aún, de la ambientación previa a la realización del efecto y, si cabe,...

Larry Becker is an internationally recognized power house of mentalism. He has created some of the most baffling and amazing mental miracles and has performed his brand of mentalism all over the world. His innovations and creations are many. In these videos he will perform and teach several of his masterpieces.

• Tri-Coinetic: Three envelopes each contain a different coin. An audience member names what coin he thinks is in each sealed envelope. When the envelopes are opened the named coins are dumped out.
• Visual Aid: A spectator holds a twenty-dollar bill while you read their mind and write...

Larry Becker is a name in mentalism that doesn't need any introduction. Here he performs a 40-minute show in front of a live audience and then teaches every nuance of every effect performed except the last effect.

• H.G. Wells' Time Machine: An audience member thinks of a year in the seventeenth century and writes it on an envelope containing a modern coin. The coin envelope is held by the audience member and remains in full view throughout. Upon opening the envelope an old pirate coin is found to have the thought of date engraved on it. Proving that the coin went back in time to the thought-of...

A challenging and fun impromptu telepathy routine, with a devious combination of principles, and an original approach.

Effect: The spectator thinks of anything in the world (billions of possibilities!), and changes it to something completely different. They focus on a part of that "thing" and you guess it. The methodology uses well known principles, combined with new ones ("Yin Yang", "UPS", "Picture", "Zoom"). There are also new alternatives to dual reality, equivoque, multiple outs or misdirection. All of these can be powerful weapons to add to your impromptu or improvised mentalism toolbox. ...

This is the gambling demonstration that Cristóbal uses in his show "Cartas Bajo Control" ("Cards Under Control"). About ten minutes long, it's an entire act with four phases, showing almost impossible skills, like card location while shuffling, estimation, card control, and the legendary center deal. You can deal the four aces without spectators being able to see how it is done, even when they know what you are going to do.

It is not necessary for you to know how to do a center deal, though in some parts of this routine you'll need to know some techniques. References and links are included,...

Tarbell Course contributor Nick Conticello is proud to release the first installment of a book he calls "a five-part meditation on one of the most powerful principles in card magic, the sunken key card."

Sunken Treasury Parts One and Two consists of fourteen effects based on essentially new concepts, material that is unlike anything you have seen before (unless you have seen Nick perform!)

Highlights include:

THE SLEIGHT-OF-MIND ROUTINE: A routine of three effects involving selected cards and a pair of Deuces.

MENTAL POLYGRAPH: A spectator thinks of a card and loses it in the pack herself. She...

Would you like to have in your repertoire some more killer mentalism effects that you can perform anytime, any place and without any props?

Well, good news! Mark Elsdon's new Conversation As Mentalism Volume 2 contains more of the tried and tested material that made the original volume so popular. (No 'suggestion' techniques are used in these effects. They all actually work all the time.)

The participant's experience of what occurs during these casual performance pieces is this: during the course of an interesting conversation, things take an odd turn and something strange and completely...

Finger games:

• The 4 fingers game: Another method for "Equifinque" (Phil SMIFF)
• Finger burn: Ask a spectator to show you any finger and put it over a candlelight or an invisible lighter. Your same finger will carry a blister.
• Voodoo finger: A variation to give away your business card.

• Hold on to your card: An impossible IN SPECTATOR's HANDS transposition.
• Magic mushrooms: A short-term-memory test where you show the same card to different spectators, and they forget it after showing them some psychedelic images!

  The two following sections describe an effect that looks...

La rutina incorpora un sistema que oculta de manera automática los trozos de periódico roto, eliminado de esta manera los malos ángulos y convirtiendo este efecto clásico en algo realmente práctico y sencillo de realizar.

Creada por Antonio Romero en 1.983 fue publicada en su libro La Magia de Antonio Romero en el año 1.992. Completamente claro y limpio, sin angulos. Un milagro instantaneo.

It was created by Antonio Romero in 1983 and first published in his book La Magia de Antonio Romero in 1992.

This video has an English voice over by Rafael Benatar.

This ebook is almost an encyclopedia of Indian, Chinese and Japanese magic. It consists of two parts. The first part is an index, reference and bibliography compiled by Sam Sharpe. The second part, researched and written by Will Ayling, describes all 101 effects from Sharpe's index.

You will learn about fantastic effects such as buried alive, sword swallowing, pulse stopping and snake charming. But it is not all about geek magic. There is also a lot of close up magic, stage magic and illusions. The 101 effects described are:

1. The Psychology of the Indian Conjurer
2. The Bamboo Rods and Strings...

IMAGINE:

• Having two spectators write down two numbers, choose two cards, lose the cards in the pack and finding their cards at their numbers!
• Letting someone cut a freely chosen card into the pack and knowing the card's location with just a glance!
• Allowing a person to freely shuffle a pile of face up and face down cards, give you half the cards without you seeing them, and having your pile match his, despite touching your pile with only one hand for only a few seconds!
• Losing the four Aces into the pack and finding them by cutting the pack, the last two at the same time!
• Performing...

Dieses Buch ist IMHO bei aller gebotenen Bescheidenheit ein Meilenstein in der Theorie der Spielkarten. Schaffe ich doch mit den "Schatten" ein völlig neues Prinzip bzw. neue Eigenschaften für jede Spielkarte. Laut Kollegen "zumindest die bedeutendste Veröffentlichung seit dem Gilbreath-Prinzip".

Schatten sind ein völlig neues Werkzeug in der Welt der Spielkarten. Jede Spielkarte wirft einen Schatten. Farbton, Farbe und Wert des Schattens kennzeichnen jede Spielkarte genauso eindeutig wie Kartenfarbton, -farbe und -wert. So können beispielsweise die vier Schattenfarben in gelegten...

Would you like to have in your repertoire some killer effects that you can perform anytime, anyplace and without any props?

Then rejoice! Mark Elsdon's new Conversation As Mentalism Volume 3 is just what you're looking for.

All in all, nine brand new effects that have been designed with one outcome in mind - to amaze whoever you are talking to without the aid of any...

This ebook explores for the first time, the principles inherent to probably any newspaper, magazine, or publication, in the world. Everybody reads them, every day, but nobody notices the rules and logic in the innocent sheets they hold in their own hands. These properties are good to know as they allow some pretty neat impromptu or improvised effects, or design your own routines, once you know their 'secrets'.

It is more a piece of knowledge every magician or mentalist should know. Most 'recipes' are simple, and there is no difficult memorization or calculation involved.

All the effects...
