A classic mathematical principle with two piles.

This is an old mathematical principle used in many card effects. Most of the effects were done with 52 cards. But the principle works with any number of cards (or business cards). This manual explains the principle in detail and generalizes the principle. It allows you to predict the last card that will be left after dealing two piles and eliminating the same pile every time. After reading this ebook, you will be able to use any number of cards. The original pile can be any size, the discarded pile can be chosen, and the final card can be...

Here are more beautifully routined professional effects to add to your act, from the minds of Berland and Whitney. The experts agree that the effects in this book are applause-getters. We concur, as well. Not just one or two, but seven separate routines that you'll want to put to use right away. The crystal-clear illustrations by Herb Borin and Mickey O'Malley make it easy to follow every move.

Just look at what's included:

Super Card Impalement - A card stab effect using two knives that reveal the selected cards from a pair of spectators.

Triple Magical Surprise - Three lit cigarettes...

Here are 12 more unique, mind-blowing Bob Hummer stunts for magicians and mentalists. Includes four separate effects and manuscripts, edited into a single compilation.

From the brilliant mind of Bob Hummer comes this tasty second helping of mental and magic effects using cards, coins, a magazine and even an ungimmicked Bible. These offerings were originally sold in manuscript form and are now out of print. Now you can get them all in this updated and corrected compilation. Each of these miracles seems utterly impossible, yet they work every time.

In Sean Waters latest release, you will find a gallery of realistic mentalism for group showings and for etching lasting memories with the most powerful form of mentalism - one on one. Sean introduces a new method to introduce yourself to complete strangers and already know their name; the way a real mind-reader would. This is no washroom eavesdropping. Sean provides a re-constructed manner to predict a series of numbers (and reveal what they mean). This improvisational method can be used anywhere and at any time. Sean has sculpted two ESP symbol presentations that will devastate any onlooker...

Matteo Filippini's lecture notes dedicated to bold mentalism, the brazen, reckless one. Boldness is a characteristic that, perhaps more than anything else, distinguish mentalism not only from other similar forms of entertainment but also from 'mentalism' that wants to be perfect at all costs. To best explain bold approaches and methods, Matteo describes in detail five routines, simple in methods but absolutely effective for real audiences.

BOLD DRAWING DUPE

An impromptu duplication of spectator's drawing which can be done using only a bunch of business cards and a pen.

"Everyone should work the Castle for a week. Not for the money, but for the memories." - Larry Becker

At the Psychic Entertainers Association convention in St. Louis, I was requested to demonstrate my abilities for the TV media. The effect that I chose to perform was "Psycho II". Approximately 25 years ago, I released the grand-daddy of this remarkable ESP design miracle as just plain "Psycho". It proved to be an award...

This was Werner Miller's first English publication and it holds 51 astonishing tricks, all based on clever mathematical principles. You will find next to tricks with cards, numbers, and dice also topological tricks with paper and cardboard.

One of my favorite tricks is called "Quick Change Square" where a 4x4 square changes from a non-magic square to a magic square in a flash. In "Crazy Square", Werner combines the olde "Chinese Compass" with the "magic square" and produces a witty, lively piece. In "Aeolic Prelude", Werner takes a compass and an ESP deck to produce a nice little bit of ritual...

Predictions are one of the most important plots in mentalism. As a performer you want to be ready to make a perfect prediction any time any where. And you want it to be simple, clean, and unsuspicious.

Imagine being able to make a prediction without any force, without any switch, with borrowed items, without any suspicious movements. Spot is a 100% impromptu way to make a prediction of any kind:

• ESP symbols
• Initial names
• Numbers
• Dates
• Playing Cards
• Etc.

The method behind Spot is so simple, so easy and yet so deceptive and powerful....
