Xenon LevitationRalf (Fairmagic) RudolphWith this tool, you are able to gently float small objects such as matches, feathers, playing cards, sponge balls or rubber bands, etc. a few centimeters above the table. Easy to build. Not for live performances! Use the gimmick for Zoom, Instagram, or similar. Also very suitable for demo videos to let business cards gently lift off the table.

ARCAANSBiagio FasanoThis is an amazing semi-automatic A.C.A.A.N. effect (the acronym stands for: Any Random Card At Any Numbers' Sum), requiring no stooges or any sophisticated technique. A case containing a deck of cards is placed by the magician in full view on the table, even before the effect begins. Spectators are asked to point to a card, starting with the suit and then deciding its value through two absolutely free choices of their own. Just to further demonstrate total arbitrariness, they are asked to point to some other value from 1 to 13 and the whole thing, including the previous choices, is noted... | ★★★★★ $9.90 to wish list | |
On Stem 2023Ralf (Fairmagic) RudolphWith this specially gimmicked and prepared card, you are able to link it to a borrowed glass unnoticed in 3-5 seconds. The edges (which is very important for me) are completely intact and have no cracks. The card can be presented firmly linked to the glass as a souvenir.
What the video hides at the lower edge would normally be hidden behind a box, book, silk, or some other visual obstruction. 1st edition 2023, video 50 min. | $15 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

Herrmann's Wizards' ManualAlexander HerrmannFrom coin tricks to card tricks, black art, mindreading and even ventriloquism, this work is meant as an introduction for the budding magician and showman.

The former is made up of feats depending upon manual dexterity, chemical combinations, and arithmetical problems. Grand magic, likewise, consists of... | $8 to wish list | |
Safety CatchMark LeveridgeThis is ideal for walkabout performance or a set close-up or parlour show. A length of rope is handed out for examination and the ends are then tied to form a rope loop. A spectator's watch is borrowed and the strap done up so that the watch is also in a loop. The watch is then threaded onto the double strands of the rope loop which is held between the two hands. By moving his hands up and down, the performer shows how the watch can slide up and down the rope, but provided he does not let go with either of his hands, the watch is safe on the rope. Then the magician says he will demonstrate... | $14 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |

The Astro Card FileKen de CourcyEffects with the Zodiac deck. (Deck not included with this PDF.) Excerpt from the introduction: Whilst this beautifully produced pack can be used for card games, as suggested in the small folder that comes with the deck, its main strength to a magician lies in the way that ordinary card tricks can be given an astrological slant and thus personalized. To the mentalist, of course, the pack represents one of the finest adjuncts to have come out for many years. Whilst a spectator may not be able to associate herself with the Queen of Hearts, she can certainly relate to her own birth sign.... | $8 to wish list | |
