Magic & Conjuring: page 210

The material here is more powerful and independent of Dark Horizon. The basic theme here also is that of languages. But the routines here are more self-working. The impossible twists and turns in the novel presentations render a more stunning impact. And in spite of such seeming impossibility, the performer is able to accurately divine the language being thought of by the participant.

No sleights. No pre-show. No stooges.

The innovative interlocking construction of the language lists is what drives the routines. The performer can fully focus on the presentation. The 4 language lists...

#4 in Scott F. Guinn's "Sit-Down Coin Magic" Series, Three-Piece Combo is a coin routine that really packs a punch. This professionally routined, multi-phase coin routine flows from one sequence to the next in a magical ride building up to a knockout climax!

EFFECT:

From a coin purse clasp (no bag attached) three silver coins are visually extracted. One of these changes into a Chinese coin with a hole in the center.

The two silver coins travel, one at a time, to magically join the Chinese coin in your closed fist. Next, all three coins are seen and heard to be placed in your closed...

Effect:

You show two packs of cards. One red and one blue backed. You ask a spectator to touch one of the packs. The pack is offered to the spectator and she is asked to put the pack of cards in a pocket. Taking the pack of cards with the blue backs you fan them face and back to show that the cards are normal. You shuffle the cards, cut and complete the cut. The cards are spread face down on the table and you ask a spectator to run his fingers backwards and forwards across the cards...using his hand rather like a pendulum. At any moment he chooses you ask him to touch the back of one of the...

A three phased easy to do routine that gives your spectator an experience of what it feels to be a mentalist.

Phase 1: 5 business cards are shown, each having the ESP symbols and are laid face down towards them. The performer introduces another set of 5, with a little thought points to one of them and asks them to point a card in their pile which they think matches the performer's card. They do so, and it matches.

Phase 2: The performer draws one of the symbols on a business card and the spectator correctly guess which one has been drawn.

Phase 3: The spectator is asked if he remembers...
