"Really interesting combination of principles in there. I especially liked Eight Envelopes, Asymmetric Oil & Water, Yet 2 and Coin and Card ESP. The Plaid Eared Rabbit contains a very clever use of an old Tenyo prop." - Raphaël Czaja

Appreciation: Jozsef thanks those who have helped him.

Amazing Prediction: You table a prediction deck. A lady randomly (and fairly) chooses two cards from another deck. The two cards generate a card and a two-digit number. You hand her the prediction deck, and she deals down to her randomly generated number. All the cards dealt are face down except...

These are the simple rules that all my effects obey in this project:

1. The deck in use could be stacked or gimmicked, but anyway it must be possible to show it to the audience (and in case, to be quickly examined by a spectator).
2. Once the cards have been (falsely) shuffled, the deck is given to a spectator and the performer will no longer touch it until the effect ends.
3. The performer will simply provide all the instructions that the spectator will follow and the effect will happen in his own hands.
4. Viewers will truly believe they...

The owners of this ebook can purchase Businessassins 2 for half price.

The extraordinary art of 'killing'. With just your business card. You can choose to 'kill' instantly. Or you can choose to 'kill' remotely over phone. You can even 'time the kill' for many weeks or months later. Actually just one business card is handed over to the 'victim'. But the impact in the mind of the 'victim' will be far bigger.

Businessassins is especially for the mentalist to hand out his business cards. No 'magicky' methods. Appears like some unfathomable 'mind thing' to the 'victim'. And you will appear like a true mentalist. ...

These are three self-working routines with ESP cards with the general theme 'impossible coincidences', facilitated by a cyclic stack. (Two effects are based on work by Werner Miller from his Ear-Marked book, and one routine is from Shane's book Automata.)

As always with Shane, you don't just get a routine and method, but the reasons why these routines work, what is important and how you can change or alter them to suit your needs and make them your own.

In Search of Synchronicity
A deck of ESP is shown, shuffled, and cut. The spectator cuts the deck several times, finally stopping whenever she wants, and removes the...

"Where is The Magic? Between the pages of this book, that's where." - Jay Sankey

EFFECTS:

Spectator's Choice:

Magician's choice without the magician's choice. The spectator makes up all the rules and procedures. Yet in the end, you still were able to predict what ESP symbol they would choose.

What's the Deal with the Down Under Deal:

Take this utility move and use it in a way that gives meaning to the move and gives the sense that you truly are clairvoyant as you merely sense (by touching the cards) which ESP symbol they are thinking of.

"Cameron's 'Creation' is worth the price of the download!" - Stephen Tucker

Get ready for six new new mental magic effects from the fertile and slightly deranged mind of Cameron Francis. All of these effects are well within the range of most magicians. No knuckle-busting sleights. No gaffs or gimmicks. All of the tricks use a normal deck.

Effects:

B'WAVY GRAVY - The spectator takes five cards from a shuffled deck, shuffles them, and then discards all but one. The magician instantly knows which card was selected.

CREATION - A card is "created" by a spectator. The magician reveals the card...

EFFECT: The performer shows five playing cards that are cut in half width-wise, making a total of ten half cards. He shows that there is a matching card half within the small packet of cards. The performer invites two spectators to help. We’ll refer to as Spectator A and Spectator B. He gives the packet to Spectator A and has him shuffle the cards thoroughly so no one knows the order of the cards.

The performer turns his back and says to Spectator A, “While my back is turned, please deal to the other person; face down, as many or as few cards as you wish. What cards you get is unimportant....

While each of the moves can be applied in a multitude of effects, the following, if presented as described in the text, comprise a complete routine of close-up mentalism:

• ESP Card Matching
• The Quarter Bend
• The Koran Center Tear
• Out of Pocket Writing
• The Erdnase Bottom Deal

1. ... miraculous, self-working effect (it really is!) – but later, they NEVER remember how to do it! This trick "rocked" the magic world when Paul first released it. It is brilliant and VERY EASY to do. Perform it tonight.

2. B-Fly – Paul's very strange version of the classic, Biddle Trick. Only 10 cards are used from a regular deck. It doesn't seem possible and performer never knows what the card is. Combines magic and ESP. Very E-Z.

3. Devilish Miracle II – Marlo amazed magicians with this "underground" classic. Paul has re-worked the effect so that it is not only very easy to do, but very...

Some may say "Oh I don't use gaffs...I'm a purist!" That's fine...but don't blame...

DIPLOID: Two previously selected cards are revealed by two random locator cards. Wow!

COLD FUSION: You remove the two black Jacks and lay them aside, saying that you will use them in a scientific experiment. Two cards are now selected and each is signed by a spectator. Both cards are inserted face up into the deck. Now for the experiment....

The second effect, Seven Shooter, is a packet trick with a Russian Roulette plot. The seven firing chambers of a revolver are represented by six blank cards and one BANG card. These are mixed and placed in a face-down pile on the table. The spectator then freely chooses a number which determines the cards (chambers) to be fired. Six blanks are fired, leaving the final BANG card.

In the third effect, Cyclops, the mentalist correctly identifies...

CAUTION: This is so powerful that you could start your own cult. So you must perform this effect with great wisdom, absolute ethics, high maturity and complete responsibility. The author is not liable for any contingent outcomes of your performances, you yourself are solely responsible for it.

SCENARIO : The performer and participant are on both ends of a voice call separated by maybe thousands of miles. The participant is holding an imaginary deck of playing cards and follows instructions of the performer. The objective of the participant is to know the answer to a question she has, related...

The Tarbell Course is without a doubt the most comprehensive and most encompassing magic literary work in existance today. It has almost 1300 pages and nearly 2900 illustrations. It covers practically every form of magic: sleight of hand with cards, coins, thimbles, cigarettes, silks, ropes, ..., up to mentalism and illusions. It goes beyond the mere technique and teaches patter, routining, marketing and other often neglected facets of being a magician. There is no other book which comes even close in breadth and depth of the material covered. It is amazing that since the late 1920s nobody has...

This is strictly a one-man act. No more hassles of passing out cards and pencils and then having to collect the cards.

• no gimmicks
• no clipboards
• no impression devices
• no assistants
• no stooges or instant stooges
• no preshow work of any kind
• no fishing or pumping for information

Devin Knight has created another hit with Four Told 2 the modern symbol edition. This is mind reading at its best, and allows you to read four minds at once. This new improved version is better and has a streamlined method that requires NO secret adding of numbers.

It does away with the pad and uses just a few index cards, which are handed to the participants as predictions. It does away with old fashion ESP symbols and takes the effect into the 21st century by using modern up to date symbols. Two different presentations for both stage and close-up are included in this new release.

ALTMAN'S '7' LOCATION - Skinner also loved to perform this really cool trick...even when you know how it works...you will still fool yourself. It is brilliantly constructed.

BONUS! - 'James's Miracle'! Stewart James was a favorite "study" of Michael Skinner because of his genius. This ESP effect is very interactive with your spectators, (a big plus!) and the spectators make all the decisions to arrive at an impossible final revelation.

1st edition 2017, 33 pages photoillustrated + 2 videos.
