Magic & Conjuring: page 220

An unbelievable routine using tissue paper rolled into balls.

The routine is basically Leo Leslie’s “Technicolor Cups and Balls” published many years ago by Supreme Magic Co. It is a very colorful routine, easy to do, easy to follow and with a logical finale. We added a finish that is both funny and baffling.

You show three cups and three pieces of tissue paper, say one red, one yellow and one green. You roll the paper into small balls and these balls penetrate through the cups, first one, then two and then all three. Finally the balls disappear and reappear under the cups! One...

A new great download DVD with two ring and rope routines.

RINGING AROUND TOO: This routine is comprised of five different effects with a ring and rope.

STILL RINGING: This routine is a series of eight tricks where a ring links and unlinks from an ordinary piece of rope (all different effects from “Ringing Around Too”).

The same routines are also described in an ebook of the same title: Still Ringing Around (ebook)

This is the perfect two person act to start with, if you have never performed anything like it. The performers only need to memorize 21 items. In the words of George Armstrong:

This is a collection of 30 semi-automatic effects based on math, geometry and logic.

These tricks originally appeared 2000-2003 in the print magazine Club 71 and in the online journal Online Visions.

• Questa poi!
• Sandwich Sympathy
• Squaring the Cards
• Partner Swapping
• That Ace of Clubs!

An elegant presentation for a classic! A three ring routine (from a standard set of Linking Rings) using new moves and some old ones, including moves with the rings and a piece of rope that you will love. Aldo perform this with music, but any kind of presentation can be applied. This routine has been Aldo's choice for an encore performance for many years.

A great piece of entertainment. Almost an act in itself. Ten cards are freely selected. You reveal them one at a time with different methods and sleights (uses any deck of cards). The routine is performed entirely in your hands. No table required. With a Multiple Card Control that will blow your head off.

Bonus effect included: BAND-IT (a rubber band wrapped around the deck disappears and then reappears in the middle of the deck encircling the selected card.)

Even though the small packet card trick goes at least back to Hofzinser's times Jon argues that the modern small packet trick started in the 1940s when the Buckle Count was introduced by Dai Vernon and got into full swing when the Ghost Count (Elmsley Count) entered the stage.

Jon writes:

On the Clock Effect

The clock effect/principle is a variant of the automatic placement principle. It allows you to force a card. The procedure typically is that the spectator freely selects any full hour on the clock (1-12). Cards are then dealt into a clock pattern where one card takes the place of each hour. The card at the spectator's freely chosen hour is the force card, which for example could have been predicted beforehand.

The Clock Effect using playing cards originated at the turn of the century. Potter's Index subsequently listed thirty-eight (38) references—one of the earliest...

Original and good new card tricks appear frequently, but new amazing coin tricks are much much harder to come by. Eni-Where is one of those rare effects which will fool you badly. This move allows for a perfectly clean production and vanish of a regular coin. There are no gimmicks, no pulls, magnets or other stuff. Before I say more watch the video demo below. It is pure magic.

This is such a fair and clean production that you will think this is a doctored video. To be honest when I first watched it that is what I thought. But it is exactly what you will be able to do once you know how it...

This DVD with exciting and outstanding card magic contains:

• MOUSE TRAP (Aldo Colombini): A funny trick involving the capture of a ‘mouse’ (Ace of Spades) who leaves a card (cheese) full of holes.

• THE SHOOTIST (Radagast): A versatile manipulation where a card is shot from the deck and caught in mid air with the hand.

Ten more amazing routines with a regular deck of cards.

• VALUE/SUIT PREDICTION (Nick Trost): A spectator shuffles the deck, yet you reveal a selected card.

• VANTAGE POINT (Rachel Colombini): A FREELY selected card is revealed with a comedy spelling (or, in a second routine, with an elimination process). Clever method.
• SUNRISE (Aldo Colombini): Two Kings are left on the table. The other two find two selections and they turn out to be the other...

Unique routines for magic shows that include a young wizard theme.

Harry Potter has enchanted young and old readers worldwide, and his magic connects people from different cultures with a common bond.

Rowling, is familiar to children around the world. This is a great way to harness some of the power of the Harry Potter phenomena when you are hired for a Harry Potter themed party, next book or movie release. ...

This is the fourth revised treatment that Marlo and Jon worked on during the last year of his life. Their objective back then was to publish a new old-book by expanding the original work to include ideas, finesses, and variations devised after 1962. More important, the revision was to be more organized and cohesive than the original.

The original K.M. MOVE booklet was typed on twenty-three pages. There were only eleven hand-traced, inked drawings [by Marlo]. The material faithfully duplicates Marlo's hand-written notes and was typed by Muriel Marlo. All in all, the finished product had an unpretentious,...

Genesis: In the beginning there was Mick Ayres' award winning RhymeTime.

"A lovely card effect. Highly recommended!" - Andrew Loh

"Double Scam by Mike Daniels is one of the best purchases I have made in the past year. Extremely clever and the ingenious methodology makes it simple to perform and will probably fool most magicians. But will absolutely destroy laymen. Worth every penny and then some. Diabolic!" - Doug Canning

Double Scam is a two-phase ACAAN effect (Any Card At Any Number). A full deck of cards is freely shuffled by the spectator. Both spectator and mentalist choose a two-digit number. Each then secretly selects and remembers a card. The two cards are lost in...

Routines performed with a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS AND CONTRIBUTORS:

• FEELING THE SPOTS (Howard Albright & Ken de Courcy): You reveal a freely selected card from a shuffled deck placed in your pocket.

• COMPELLING (Aldo Colombini): A lot of magic...

Material for parlor and stage, easy to do and very strong. You can create one or two complete acts from this.

Take a bit of “Miraskill,” a twist each of Mirabill and “A View To A Skill” and mix with “Minimal Miraskill.” Between Stewart James, Herb Zarrow, John Bannon and Dr. Bill, you will have one of the strongest effects possible to perform over the telephone.

The good doctor had been seeking a way to perform Mirabill over the phone ever since its release but it seemed impossible. Until now.

Telephone Bill looks and sounds different than any of the above but utilizes James’s original brilliant principle and is every bit as squeaky-clean as Mirabill. Live and in person it is mind bending. But over the phone? Your audience...

Routine with cards that you will use. Includes Aldo's famous Jumbo Coincidence with a cut in half packet of jumbo cards. Special guest appearance by Cameron Francis who performs his two effects.

• ACES UP (Lin Searles): The four Aces are lost in the deck and they reappear on top.
• LOST AND FOUND (Nick Trost): You find a selected card under impossible conditions after the spectator shuffles the deck.
• JOKER DILEMMA (Aldo Colombini): A card matches your prediction and the whole deck turns out to be all Jokers.
• CARD LIE SPELLER (Marty Kane): One of the best versions of the 'Lie Detector' theme.
• A 'LESSEN' IN DISHONESTY...

The ultimate assembly!

Four Kings are placed on the table and three cards are placed onto them. The first King vanishes and now you have two Kings in the second packet. They vanish and you now have three Kings on the third packet. They vanish and in the fourth packet you have….the four Aces! The Kings are found on top of four other packets!
