"Kudos to Michael for bringing something this good to the magic community ... Diabolic and truly amazing ... pure killer magic!" - Doug Canning

Effect

Three, four or five different items (cards or counters) are tabled. While the mentalist looks away, the spectator makes an unknown number of moves, freely mixing and turning over the items. The spectator can stop at any time when there are just two items face up. She then completely covers these with her left and right hands. The mentalist...

This e-book presents two amazing Matrix routines plus a bonus..."Coins Thru Table" with a cool subtlety!

Color photographs explain the moves.

These two coin/card matrix effects are designed to play one after the other for an amazing routine. The first 2-Card Matrix uses four coins and only two cards with some funny patter. All four 4 coins gather to the "leader" card. This routine is real "eye-candy". You are now set to move seamlessly into the second 4-Card Matrix.

This second matrix routine is a reverse matrix that uses 4 cards and 4 coins - they all gather to the leader and then...

An impromptu, gimmick-free, borrowed deck miracle. A location and divination of a selected card under test conditions. Read on.

Imagine:

The magician introduces a deck of cards. The spectator can thoroughly examine it, after which they can freely shuffle it for as long as they want in any way that they want.

Once they're done shuffling, the magician invites them to look through the deck (faces towards themself, backs towards the magician) and select any two cards that they like. Let's suppose they select the two black A's. They turn these face-up and leave them on the table.

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...

All the PDFs and videos from the CD that Devin Knight sold at his final East Coast Lecture tour. This is the bargain of the century as it would cost you $91.00 to buy these separately. Each PDF fully explains how to make up each trick. To buy these tricks ready made from a magic dealer would cost over $300.00.

QUADRUPLE PREDICTION - An amazing mental effect where the magician correctly predicts cards and colors despite odds of over 16,000 to 1 against it. A real stunner you can close a show with.

PSYCHIC MONEY SENSE - Designed for an intimate close up show, this experiment apparently shows...

Effect:

The magician spreads a packet of five cards (from Ace to 5 of mixed suits) face up and a spectator thinks of one of them. The magician squares the packet, telling the spectator that among these cards, there is one card with a different back. The spectator says the name of his card out loud. For example, the 3 of Diamonds. The magician shows that any of the other cards could have been thought of and he deals the selected card on the table. He turns the remaining cards face down and clearly shows only Bicycle backs. The spectator turns over his card revealing the only Tally-Ho backed...

filled with fun and light ideas. There is some deep thinking going on." - Greg Arce

"Dale Hildebrandt's book, Eight Exercises Plus, is well worth attention by mentalists & hypnotists who prefer to use minimal props. An interesting technique of giving readings is described which does not require cards or other props for divination. The participant's hands are used, although not for palmistry. The method is nicely summarized and even a Tick Sheet is provided. There is a clever approach to determining a person's astrological sign which does not use a progressive anagram. I enjoyed the 'hypnotic'...

Easy miracles using a new stack of cards.

This eBook collects a series of no less than seven tricks that are very simple to perform in front of one's audience, but all very impressive. All this is only possible thanks to a particular pre-arrangement of the pack of cards, derived from Si Stebbins but which, unlike it, will not be recognizable even to the majority of magicians, appearing on first examination to be entirely similar to a real shuffled deck. I have called this pre-order: VR Stack Pro and I will describe it extensively on the following pages.

of the work of Werner Miller through his 2006 book Ear Marked, published by Shane of Leaping Lizards. Miller knows how to work with strange and wonderful arithmetical principles, and he come up with some brilliant ideas.

"Enigmaths" is a three-volume e-book series featuring magic with playing cards, ESP cards, astrological designs, people's names, and even dominoes. Each volume contains twenty effects and is fully illustrated. These illustrations are not of hands, because there are no sleights to learn. They are computer-generated graphics of cards and their layouts, etc.

Seemingly just following their intuition, your volunteers will mysteriously separate not just playing cards, but also words, dice, business cards, drawings, crime scene reports, poker hands, terrorism suspect lists, toy objects, gift boxes, astrology charts, wallets, ESP symbols, lottery forms, card decks, poems, eggs, and even other spectators.

The text offers much more than just routines where...

Note: The intent of this ebook is to teach Nique's handling of using index cards to perform Mental Epic. You will require a verbal force of a playing card to perform the routine exactly as described in this ebook. This is not taught, but sources are cited. You can use any force as a substitute; if you already perform a version of Mental Epic, you can even use what you are currently presenting, but using this method as an alternative.

Epique is Nique Tan's take on the classic Mental Epic effect. This handling uses only three 4x6 index cards and a China marker, but it will play for a parlour...

"I think your routine is very good. I may use it a couple times myself." - Brian T. Lees (a.k.a. Topper)

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...

Not one, but a complete series of thought-provoking mental routines with ESP cards.

These sensational effects give you, the psychic entertainer, the ability to add punch to your program. One effect alone is worth a ten-dollar bill. Sufficient routines and material are included for a complete act of Extra Sensory Perception tests. Full patter presentations for many of the effects are given, too.

New to this edition are camera-ready master images of the ESP symbol cards, allowing you to print your own, all the way up to jumbo size for stage presentations. And, we didn't stop there. Each...

All these routines are performed with a regular deck of ESP cards and with no sleight of hand whatsoever. All tricks explained here were created by Howard Adams.

Contents:

• ELIMINEIGHT: From a deck you predict the selections of four ESP symbols.
• COMPUTERA: A spectator selects three cards. You pick three cards under a napkin. These three cards prove to be duplicates of the spectator’s selected cards.
• PACKETEN ONE: You locate a duplicate of a selected ESP design from a pile covered by a napkin.
• NO OBJECTS: You predict several symbol cards that spectators select.
• ESP NAME 6: Using the name of a...

• THE THIRD DIMENSION: In this triple-barreled test, you discover three thought-of symbols in a baffling manner.
• SYM-SATIONAL: Three spectators each peek at a symbol. The performer reads their minds and names each symbol.
• MILLION TO ONE ESP: One of the strongest routines with ESP cards. Five spectators each select five face-down cards apiece. At the end they find out they have selected one each of the five symbols.
• SYMBOL DISCERNMENT: In spite of not seeing the cards, you reveal how many of the spectator's selected symbols have been dealt and you are able to detect if a packet contains a...

• WILD ESP-RESSIONS (Aldo Colombini): You show two sets of ESP cards. You predict a choice of an ESP symbol (say the Star), then four different symbols change to blank cards and four letters appear on the back of four cards to spell the selected symbol: S-T-A-R!
• PERFECT (Jozsef Kovacs): Five (say) red-backed cards are used as predictions and are dealt onto five blue-packets, at random. If the red card is a Square, the other cards are all Squares, etc. Perfect match.
• ESP-ABILITY (Aldo Colombini): A deck is shown all shuffled and a spectator deals the cards switching pairs (or triplets) of cards. When the...

• DESIGN BY ACCIDENT: A card is selected. A packet is dealt into four piles and the top card of each pile matches the selection.
• ESP PARADOX OF PAIRS: A spectator picks three pairs while you deal the cards. These pairs are the only ones containing two matching symbols.
• DUAL ESP TEST LOCATION: Two symbols are selected under very fair conditions, yet, you can announce them.
• TRIPLE MATCH BY DESIGN: A spectator shuffles the deck. You take a prediction card and the spectator finds two more matching symbols.
• SYMBOL SENSE: A deck of cards is mixed and three spectators think of a card each. You...

• SUPERIMPOSED (Arun Bonerjee): A spectator selects two symbols by cutting the deck. You predicted those symbols in a very original and funny way.
• ESP BUNDLE (Jozsef Kovacs): A spectator cuts the deck and places a face-up card in the middle (say a Cross). Then he makes packets of cards. At the top of each packet the same symbol appears. Finally, you find the fifth matching symbol.
• COLORIFIC (Felix Greenfield): A truly sensational effect. Five spectators freely select five cards each from the top or bottom of the deck at random and each find five different symbols.
• DOUBLETAKE (Max Maven): With the cards...
