Bruce Carlley is going to show you a number of games that the magician or gambler plays against a spectator one on one. The spectator gets a free choice of the objects that are used in the gambling game. (Some games use cards, dice, pieces of paper, spinners, etc.) For example, say the spectator has a choice of four dice. Spectator picks one die and the magician picks one die. Each rolls their die, and the high number wins. Whoever wins a best of 12 game match wins the game. Unfortunately for the spectator, the magician will almost always win the match. The probability will ALWAYS be in the...

After the index in the back is a section of 14 pages with additional products. This means it is likely that Abbott catalog #18 is pretty much identical to Abbott catalog #17 except for this final section of products.

This ebook's purpose is to teach something about the art of close-up card magic; not just to describe some card effects. Each chapter consists of three parts:

1. the text
2. captioned drawings
3. a summary of moves and sleights

This is a reprint of the rare and hard to find Secret Professional Pseudo-Hypnotic Methods first released by G. W. Magnuson in 1931. The original manuscript was poorly typed and full of typos and grammatical errors. Devin Knight has taken this work and reset the type to make it easier to read, corrected the typos and grammar and added photos. In addition, Devin has annotated the text with badly needed updated information regarding these methods.

Interestingly, Magnuson did not believe there was such a thing as real hypnosis and developed an act of pseudo hypnosis. Some of his best effects...

"Segreti" è senza dubbio una delle più interessanti opere di quel genio di U.F. Grant. Abbiamo così una stupenda ( è davvero il caso di dirlo) raccolta di circa 30 giochi ideati dallo stesso Grant e da alcune dalle menti più fertili della prestigiazione . Le routines sono tutte pratiche e di ottimo effetto. Alcune sono dei veri capolavori.

Molti effetti sono arricchiti da note esplicative e aggiunte del traduttore che rendono maggiormente pratici o fruibili questi giochi dall'artista moderno.

In questa stessa pagina trovate una breve descrizione degli effetti contenuti in questa...

Una routine dal triplice effetto con un finale "killer"! Il mazzo viene realmente mescolato e tagliato. Si posiziona una carta a faccia in su nel mezzo. Uno spettatore sceglie liberamente una carta. Si mescola di nuovo di nuovo il mazzo e poi si taglia in due. Si prendono ora contemporaneamente carte dalle 2 pile. PRIMO EFFETTO: la carta dello spettatore appare allo stesso tempo in cui giri la tua. SECONDO EFFETTO: Quindi si gira la prima carta di ogni mazzetto per produrre i quattro assi e, TERZO EFFETTO: infine, si termina la routine con una separazione dei colori devastante. Si utilizza...

This is an exposure of a psychic scam being worked today that is almost foolproof. The unusual thing about this scam is that the sucker in most cases never realizes he was conned. Therefore he never reports the psychic to the authorities and the psychic can operate in the same area for years with immunity!

Millions of people go missing each year and many unscrupulous psychics and mediums claim they can find these people for a FEE.

This is an exposure of a scam that was worked on the author in his younger years. It shows step-by-step how the psychic makes it appear that he has found the...

This PDF teaches you how to combine a clever mental effect with REAL hypnosis to create an effect that can't be done with just regular hypnosis. This effect will help you stand out from the competition and increase your bookings.

Devin's bookings as a hypnotist have almost doubled since including this feat in his shows. This effect can also be used as an emergency effect when nobody goes into hypnosis. You can do this effect and it will appear to be real hypnosis.

Magicians and mentalists can use this as a pseudo hypnotic trick in their shows as it is not necessary to have the person really...

Scott F. Guinn tips every detail of Pro-Mega, his blockbuster multiple location routine for parlor, platform and stage!

Seven audience participants each freely select and sign a card. The cards are lost in the deck and then each card is found in a progressively more impossible way. The amazement and amusement grow to an unbelievable crescendo with the revelation of the last card, which has been in full view in an impossible location since before the show began!

Scott is a seasoned pro who has used this pet routine in his professional performing repertoire for decades, often as the closer...

Turn your card box into a devilishly sneaky peek device!

It takes 3 minutes and 42 seconds to make, and requires no special materials.

Two applications are taught in detail:

• A 2-phase ACAAN routine, which also includes a presentation idea to make the ACAAN plot meaningful.
• Two-Behind: You read the mind of their imaginary friend, AND guess the name of their friend.

( Piccolo studio sulla carta in tasca di Francis Carlyle )

Matteo Filippini presenta un suo personale studio sulla Carta in Tasca; partendo dalla splendida versione di Carlyle, apparsa sullo storico Stars Of Magic, passando da Homing Card Plus di Roberto Giobbi, presente sul secondo volume di Card College, Matteo offre la sua visione su questo grande plot cartomagico; si tratta certamente di uno dei pochi effetti con le carte da gioco che ben si adattano a diverse situazioni di lavoro: close-up, parlour magic, TV, teatro... La routine é stata divisa in diverse fasi ed analizzata fin nei minimi...

From the professional repertoire of popular author Scott F. Guinn comes a powerhouse six-phase feature card routine, Vicissitudes. The meaning of "Vicissitudes" is "a succession of alternating changes," and that is exactly what happens in this magical routine. Two cards repeatedly change places in very visual and shocking ways:

1. The JH changes into the 10C in midair and then the JH suddenly and visually appears on top of the deck.

2.The 10C is at the face of the deck, the JH inserted, reversed, in the middle. Suddenly the JH is at the face and the 10C reversed in the middle.

3.Both...

Some of the biggest names in magic and mentalism have raved about Assertive Positive Negative, Scott F. Guinn's improvement of Max Maven's "Positive Negative." Luminaries such as Ron Bauer, Richard Busch, Dr. Bill Cushman, and Richard Webster have been effusive in their praise. It would have been perfectly understandable, then, for Scott to have rested on his laurels and let the routine alone.

But Scott felt there was room for improvement, particularly on one part of the handling. For months and months, he tinkered and fiddled with the routine. And finally, much as with the epiphany that birthed APN, a very simple and elegant solution occurred...
