Some lesser-known math-based tricks.

I always liked numbers. Numbers yes, math maybe not. What I have attempted to accomplish with this small book is to document some of the more unusual effects I have found and presented that rely on some mathematical principle, sometimes an obscure principle, as its underlying method. Generally, such methods offer the performer a relatively simple and often almost foolproof self-working guarantee of success.

Ah, but only success in the method. Anyone with any experience soon realizes that it isn’t the method so much as the presentation that truly makes...

Have you ever wondered how the biggest names in entertainment are able to get such powerful reactions from their audiences? You probably have. One of their tactics is what I call the "stimy". Contained within this ebook is an explanation of the stimy, and how you can implement this concept in your own routines. Whether you're a professional, are looking to be one, or you just perform socially, I believe this information might help you perform stronger entertainment. For this reason, I am offering it to you completely free.

BONUS: includes my personal routine "the bubble bag" to demonstrate...

Four randomly selected volunteers shuffle and randomly select a card that is lost and found by the mentalist who places the correct selected cars in front of the right volunteer.

An exploration into the innovative logic, framing, moves, sleights and stratagems and charming myths or storylines of the Ancient Rings Series.

This series offers a completely different approach to using rings in magic effects. Forget "Chinese" as a storyline. Get beyond "linking" to "bonding, "intertwine," "merge" and more, with new moves, sleights, stratagems and audience engagement possibilities.

The routines can be "stand-alone," a segue to your favorite effects, or mixed. This ebook will allow you to decide where and if to get involved in innovative and different methods that can...

Give logic and reason to your haunted deck to make it reach deeper levels of the subconscious.

I have always disliked how most magicians perform the haunted deck as an added phase to an Ambitious Card routine or worse just a single-phased find a card trick. Some use the presentation of ghosts, but I also don't like it as well. It is too dark for some of the audiences around the world and also doesn't suit every occasion/event.

Here are the 2 phases that I use to lead into the Haunted Deck.

Just Five! is a booklet containing only five card tricks. Its intent was to not overwhelm the reader with too many of the thousands of card tricks and all their variations. Presented is a variety of straightforward effects with little demand on one's skill in sleight of hand. Misdirection and presentation are the focus.

Included are:

1. World's Fastest 2 Card Discovery - A trick without a middle.
2. Snuggling-up to the Marker - Rather than the Joker.
3. Real Mindreading Actor - Real telepathy, almost.
4. True ACAAN - Close to the real thing.
5. Memory Skills - Tests the magician's memory.

As Executive Director of The Omaha Magical Society and author of a magic club leaders resource blog, Dave Arch saw the need for a low-cost junior magician's curriculum that could be taught by someone with even an entry-level knowledge of magic as long as they had a passion for growing kids in their personal confidence and social skills.

What you now have is the result of a two-year effort to build the curriculum, create the videos, and field test the project - fine-tuning it based on what was discovered out in the field.

Our hope is that you find it a resource that will be of use to...

We are a for profit business, but we do work on non-profit projects, which we do simply because we love magic. For example, many of the old books we convert cost much more to convert than we would ever hope making selling digital versions. Nevertheless we have chosen to digitize and preserve many of these books and magazines as a service to the magic community. We are also thinking about making some of these ebooks free if we can raise enough money through donations.

Any donations made here will flow directly to preserving magic literature. If for whatever reason we are not able to use the...

A super visual coins across routine.

The profits from the sales of this routine will go to various organizations that are helping victims of the earthquake in Si Chuan, China. Originally this routine was available for $15, but now Rannie has decided to make it free with any amount of donation. That is why the 'price' of this ebook is set to $1, the minimum donation. We hope that you will donate more than the minimum. To do that you only need to change the quantity in the shopping cart. Say you wanted to donate $15, the original price of the ebook, you would enter 15 as the quantity in the...

Use the Minus One Bottom Deal as a fake center deal. (You will need the description of the Minus One Bottom Deal to perform this move.)

Once you have mastered the Maintain Break With Fan technique you can use this idea to rather glimpse a card than keep the break.
