He conceals nothing, hides no secrets. The careful researches which I had to make in order to tell the public exactly how Houdini achieved his escapes and performed illusions which seemed like miracles, led me to think that I had exhausted all the resources of magic. But,... | $9 to wish list | |

A New GameMichael MaxwellThis trick was developed by Allan and Debbie Ackerman. Debbie is Allan's daughter. A spectator chooses a card and the value of the card decides how many hands are dealt in this game. Let's say the spectator chooses the 3 of Hearts. A random number of cards is taken from the deck and then dealt into 3 hands. Then the performer announces that the spectator should pick one pile. If that pile does not have a 3 on its top the spectator wins, otherwise the magician wins. Of course, the odds are vastly in favor of the spectator. Nevertheless, the top cards on all three piles turn out to be 3s and as... | $6 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

A new look at the Okito Box Teach-InLewis GansonIn 1911, Okito was in partnership with Joe Klein in a magic shop on Broadway, New York. Joe suffered from indigestion and kept his boxes of pills in a drawer in the shop. Okito often handled the pill boxes and noticed that the lid would fit on both bottom and top and in each case, the box looked the same. He had some made up in metal instead of cardboard, of such a size as to take coins and so the "Okito Coin Box" was born. Since they were first marketed by the Bamberg Magic and Novelty Company, dealers all over the world have manufactured and sold these boxes. Different ideas have been incorporated,... | ★★★★★ $9.50 to wish list | |
A New Theory of Trance and its bearing on Human TestimonyGeorge Miller BeardBeard distinguished several varieties of trance: Trance may, for the sake of convenience of description, be divided into four varieties: the spontaneous, the self-induced, the emotional, and the intellectual trance.He goes on to describe how these various forms of trance can be entered and he explains that the emotions through which trance is most likely to be excited, are fear, reverence, wonder, and expectation. He rejects the notion that trance is created by some force or fluid the operator emits and rather explains it as the brain is only partially awake and active while the other... | $5 to wish list | |
A Nice ChoreographyN.I. PectusThis nice choreography utilizes some basic moves and concepts to create an appearance of something real. It feels that the implications of the effect are real.

Afterwards the deck is spread face up in front of him and he is asked to move his finger, pointing always vertically towards the cards, from one end to the other. The spectator stops where he wants. The selection is determined - the four of clubs. Not knowing what the reason for it might be, the spectator is advised to examine the Joker from... | $5.99 to wish list | |

A Promising PremiseJon RacherbaumerUnpacking Dai Vernon's Pact When Vernon's trick appeared, its puzzling aspect centers on the fact that the spectator chooses one of three cards and the one chosen changes into his selection. In other words, the spectator is permitted to make two decisions. He selects any card. Then he selects one-of-three cards, which changes into his selection. It is essentially a quickie.
