The Box Goes-In-Da BoxPeter PrevosA treatise on the Gozinta Boxes The Box Goes-In-Da Box. A treatise on the Gozinta Boxes. Magicians have been captivated by the Gozinta Box since it was first introduced to the magic world by Lubor Fiedler in 1970. The essence of the gozinta plot in magic is that an object fits into itself - a topological anomaly. The word gozinta (also spelt 'gazinta') is a form of eye dialect, just like words such as fella for fellow or helluva instead of "hell of a". The word gozinta was introduced by primary school teachers to explain long division using the gozinta method: 2 gozinta 4, 3 gozinta 6 and so on. ... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Persuasione in PraticaAlessandro DelvecchioPrincipi, metodi e strategie di Persuasione messi in pratica L'idea di poter persuadere, convincere qualcuno della nostra idea oppure a fare qualcosa che noi desideriamo è chiaramente qualcosa di allettante e che potenzialmente può portarci grossi benefici sotto più aspetti della vita quotidiana. Occorre quindi stabilire il presupposto che tutto ciò che si fa in questo senso deve essere fatto con responsabilità e buon senso e con l'idea di base del "Non nuocere agli altri". Premesso questo, è opportuno differenziare il connotato negativo che solitamente viene attribuito all'atto... | $10 to wish listPDF & EPUB | |
Patter: The Story Behind the MagicBrian T. LeesAs magicians we do the same range of magic over and over again. What makes it different is our character, presentation and patter. We all put our own twist on the routines. Patter is the glue that identifies the magic to us personally. It is our personal signature. If we don't take time to create new or updated patter then our performance begins to sound routine or "follow the motions". This ebook identifies different types of patter, offers some suggestions and provides a few examples.

U.F. Grant's Impossible Bill in LemonDevin KnightAn impossible bill to lemon that will leave your audience and many magicians wondering how such a thing is possible. That's because it is another lost secret from the mind of U. F. Grant. Read every word, the description is 100% true and sounds impossible. The performer asks to borrow a dollar bill from anyone. This person is not a stooge and the bill has not been planted in the audience as a preshow bit. Any bill, from any person, plain and simple. BEFORE the performer touches the bill, he has the spectator write down the serial number for later verification. The performer still does not touch the bill,... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Packet Magic(Jerry) J. K. HartmanFrom the introduction: The title suggests that the routines to be described solely involve small packets of cards. To that extent, it is inaccurate. Many of the routines utilize the full deck in varying degrees. The excuse is that they center around small groups of cards which by themselves are identifiable as packets, and thus can be combined in longer sequences with routines using those groups alone. Small packet routines seem to have a certain niceness and precision about them and thus have a particular fascination for cardmen. Fortunately, laymen are generally impressed as well, ascribing... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
3-Doors MontyGerard ZittaHere is another close-up (or parlor) version of the Monty Hall problem. It can be a standalone effect, or a premise, or a follow-up to other versions ( "V1" , "V2" , "V3", "Transaction" ), again with a completely different method. It helps to demonstrate that a player should always switch, but in a very baffling way. In the first phase, you show that the spectator should switch the two doors in order to win. But in a second identical phase, they will always loose.

PaperworkBrian T. LeesThe paperwork associated with being a magician. We may think the world is going paperless and in a few industries it is. But we still have a document close by to print as needed. Many times, receipts have been printed out to correct charges on statements. People do not hire maintenance work to be done without some form of contract. The magic industry is the same. This text covers the basic documents used. These documents range from a simple query letter to proposals/quotes and contracts. Nestled within this ebook are the basics used to form the paper trail of our performances.

Spot the SpotBrick TilleyAny red showing loses! The spot game is the black widow of the midway because an untrained player has little chance to cover the red spot using the five zinc plates supplied. Rules: the player must drop the plates one at a time from a distance of at least an inch attempting to cover the entire red area. He is later allowed to drop fewer plates bettering his chances of winning. The spot game is seldom seen these days because law enforcement consider it to be beyond the possibility of chance. It is an excellent aid to the magician, especially when combined with a demonstration of a short... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

ErrGerard Zitta"I think your routine is very good. I may use it a couple times myself." - Brian T. Lees (a.k.a. Topper)[Although different, the plot can be seen as a variation of an article in Abraca-Poof! - December 2016 that can also be found on lybrary.com. Brian T. Lees digged up an unreferenced gem buried somewhere in one of Aldo Colombini's DVDs. Effect: You produce a deck of cards and hand it to a spectator. (You will not touch it or see it any more). The spectator shuffles the deck, selects a card, folds it and puts a rubber band or a paper clip tight around it. Despite these lab conditions, you try to guess their card! And believe it or not, you will always succeed. Their card can be given back as a souvenir. It does... | $10 to wish list | |
