In der Literatur beschriebene Kunststücke werden zu einer rund 30 Minuten dauernden Falschspieldemonstration verwoben, die jederzeit mit jedem beliebigen Spiel ohne Vorbereitung ausgeführt werden kann! Dennoch wer­den die Zuschauer über­zeugt sein, dass der Vorführende der grösste Falschspielex­perte ist, den sie je gesehen haben. Es werden verschiedene Möglich­keiten demonstriert, wie ein Falschspieler sich die be­sten Karten teilen kann und ein Spiel selbst dann gewinnt, wenn der Zuschauer die Kar­ten zuvor gemischt hat. Anhand einer Ge­schichte zeigt der Vorführende, was naiven...

ABhyaas Change is a fast and stunning card color change that happens in a split second and a small shake. Often confused to be done using gimmicks, it is 100% IMPROMPTU and requires 100% SLEIGHT OF HAND. Taught here are four different ways of performing this color change and three clean-up options.

[Note: It was brought to my attention that ABhyaas Change looks similar to Cody Nottingham's SOLE Change taught in his release Changes. Later, I found out that both changes are different in terms of grip, secret move, end position etc. It's mere co-incidence that they look similar.

Poltergeist Coins: Coins bend inside of a heavy glass vase held by a spectator... then, all of a sudden; the vase begins to move across the table as he tries to hold it in place! No magnets or threads required, and you can do this while on the complete other side of the room! This is a dream routine for meetings with media.

Un-Dead Head: A spooky looking doll's head scares the hell out of everyone when it leaps off the table at a spectator! Not in the mood to give unsuspecting spectators heart attacks? No problems... use the same gimmick to gracefully float a rose.

Silver Lining: Take...

A self-working principle which determined a person's thoughts . . . Listen to this bewildering effect. A pack of cards is shuffled and a spectator merely thinks of a card. The pack is then dealt once, twice and finally a third time into two piles. Before completing the last dealing the spectator may, if he so wishes, shuffle both halves. Despite all this, when the spectator deals through the pack he finds there are only 51 cards; the thought-of card has vanished! The performer produces the card from his pocket before the spectator names his chosen card. An astounding climax which completely...
