An effect by Nick Trost. One of the most incredible routines with two (regular) decks of cards. A spectator selects four cards from a red-backed deck, without looking at their faces. These four cards are inserted into the middle of the blue-backed deck. Now you remove four blue cards, show them to be indifferent and insert them into the red deck. The spectator’s four red-backed cards are turned over, and they are all Kings. Your four blue-backed cards are turned over to show they have changed into the four Kings! A double climax! Two regular decks are used (not supplied) and you end clean with two complete...

"The clips do look impressive." - Jonathan Townsend (the creator of 3fly)

"Radek Makar is a magical breath of fresh air when it comes to coin magic. Radek takes all the hard moves and makes them easy to learn and with a little practice, much easier to do. I love his stuff and you will too as Mr. Makar cuts himself some real space with this one and and enters the room of top coin men and shows them a thing or two or three from the East." - Marion Boykin

Out in the Cold is the cold reading technique TC Tahoe uses, especially when he is stuck or needs to re-direct a reading. Just a few of these lines in the back of your mind and you will never be left out in the cold again.

Every reader experiences “blanks” at times, especially when working in a busy environment with a long line of people waiting their turn for a reading. The information in this book enables you to continue talking, no matter how drained or exhausted you may be. You’ll also discover Out in the...

"I love Salt Pours, I think I have every market version, and TC’s ranks right up there with the best of them. Funny and Magical!" - Paul Romhany

"Rarely does a working pro magician release his good stuff to others. Even more rarely does he also include his pet original comedy lines and comic situations. I would dash, not saunter, to buy this series from TC Tahoe!" - Dan Garrett

TC teaches you how to make a salt pour gimmick, the best salt to use and two different routines direct from his Cruise Ship show.

These effects are creations by Didier Dupré. After the DVD Cartemania, the DVD that made Didier famous all over the world, we now present three more routines from this clever French magician. You will love them and we predict you will use them all the time. They all use regular cards.

CONTENTS:

• JOKER INVERSION: Four blue-backed Jokers turn around several times changing direction (at the beginning they are oriented towards the performer, then towards the spectators and then again towards the performer). At the end, they change into four Jokers with different colored backs. Everything can be examined. ...

Twelve new card routines - all using a regular deck.

• K.F.C.: A card attached to a ribbon with a sticker changes into the selection.
• Misdirection Monte: A bluff explanation of Three Card Monte ends in the revelation of a previously signed selected card.
• Broadside: Claude Chandler’s “Sideways Changing Card” receives the Duffie treatment.
• From Beyond the Veil: A two-card discovery with a little help from the spirit world.
• Biddle Wed: Another look at the classic Hofzinser plot where Kings and Queens magically marry.
• Dance Steps: More Royal shenanigans.
• Numberville: A self-worker based...

Subtitled: Their tricks exposed or the art of always winning

Translated from the French of Robert-Houdin, first published in 1861, by William J. Hilliar. Robert-Houdin wrote this book primarily as an expose to reduce the number of people being cheated. He writes in his preface: "Enlighten the dupes and there will be no more cheats."

This work was first translated in 1863 under the title The Sharper Detected and Exposed. In 1881 Prof. Hoffman translated it anew and brought it up to date under the title Card-Sharping Exposed. It is not clear why Hilliar would do a new translation in 1903. Perhaps he felt he could ride Erdnase's coattails after his groundbreaking...

"When I first started doing stage magic many years ago it was difficult to find or create a solid 5-minute performance piece. Having used a slight variation of T.C's Bill in Tomato routine for 5 years is strong testimony to its impressive entertainment value." - Gregory Wilson

"I cannot believe you can do the bill switch for a crowd of over a thousand people and make it play! Only you TC" - Paul Romhany

"A great series full of practical ideas on familiar magic routines. From razor blades, to salt pours, to vanishing bottles, TC's wonderfully warped mind tweaks...

En este fantástico e-book del prestigioso mago Aldo Colombini, encontrarás 5 impresionantes rutinas de cartomagia que dependen de ordenaciones de la baraja. Al más puro estilo de Aldo, sin manipulaciones complicadas.

Estoy seguro que estamos todos de acuerdo en que el efecto es lo más importantes y que algunos de los mejores efectos en la cartomagia se consiguen gracias a ordenaciones previas a la ejecución del juego.

Aquí encontrarás 5 fantásticas rutinas que dependen de ordenaciones en la baraja.

• Crazy Poker: La más salvaje demostración de poker que jamás hayas visto. ...

A small collection of ideas and variations with the pasteboards.

Its been a while since David Gemmell has put anything out. His life has taken a strange turn for the better, and other interests have held his attention for quite some time now. What follows is a small and possibly incomplete collection of ideas and variations on classic themes that have held him captive for many years and these are the latest handling’s that he uses.

No pictures this time, just words, ideas, pathways, and references where possible.

1st edition 2011; 29 pages.

A candid intimate interview with the Italian Teddy Bear. With wit, honesty, and lots of inside details, Aldo shares with his fans his life as a comedy magician and lecturer; his view on magic, tells about his career, the move to the USA, his hobbies, and how he was able to survive until 60 just with a deck of cards and a piece of rope! He also teaches an easy Italian recipe for a great pasta dish, and he may even play the guitar and sing a song if pressed by Rachel (and helped by a glass of wine). Of course, he will also show and explain a trick never before released.

Aldo and Rachel have...

A heart-to-heart interview with Rachel Colombini conducted by Cameron Francis. Her beginnings in England, the move to the USA, how she and Aldo met, her difficult moment with open heart surgery, the recovery and more. She then shares a trick never before released and, why not, sing a song!

Young inventor Kyle MacNeill brings you his latest ebook – seven hands off card tricks. All seven tricks are strong and streamlined, with most being completely hands off and others being predominantly hands free. I think that you will find all the ideas refreshing.

1. Spectator does the Sandwich (This first appeared in Inventions) - A 100% hands off effect whereby a card is picked by the spectator, and cut into the pack. He then suddenly finds the two red Kings face up with four face down cards in between. The spectator then picks one of these cards, and discovers that it is his card! The three other...

I rarely get to work on my own creations these days. 911 Summing is one of those rare occasions. It is an effect and method I have created more than 20 years ago. Both the effect and the method are to the best of my knowledge completely new and have never been published before.

This is a math effect I have had a lot of fun with. It can even be performed as puzzle challenge rather than a magic effect. I have performed this for people twice as smart as myself - engineers, scientists, researchers, professors - you name it. Not once has anybody figured out how it is done, even though, the principle...

Re-Thinks is a new series of eBooks from TC Tahoe.

This routine has served TC very well for years. It was a major part of both his restaurant work and his Close-up show at the Magic Castle, for which he was nominated Close-up Magician of the Year.

"Perfect example of Jazz Magic." - Daryl

"Fantastic routine, so much magic with just one knife!" - Michael Ammar

The routine is fun, fast and entertaining...

1st edition 2011; 10 pages.

Contents:

• KNOCK THEM DEAD (Paul Gordon): A freely selected card is revealed as the only face-up card in a packet.

"Get out of here, don't release it. Make up some story, only I may have this!" - Branden Wolf (Bison, Room with a View - After seeing the workings)

"From the very first second I learned and understood what Legion was and was capable of, my mind hasn't thinking of some absolutely mind blowing magic and mind reading that this can achieve. This is truly versatile and beyond practical. I don't believe anyone is going to be disappointed with Legion, it's devious and wicked." - Lloyd Barnes (Method, Barrell Change)

"Legion took the fear out of forces for me. My close up has improved dramatically...
