This is a rare collection of card secrets that U. F. Grant sold separately. These were listed in his catalog as single items or special props using cards. These were not part of his other card books. The complete directions for the prop tricks are included in this ebook. Many of these items can be made up from cards you may have around your home. If you have seen some of the effects in his early catalogs and wondered how they were done, then this PDF may satisfy your curiosity. A wealth of information that is hard to find elsewhere. This is volume 1 of a planned two volume set. You get all the...

Are you honestly trying to scare people??! Yes? Good.

You need to be adept at psychological manipulation for this one. The writer and all associated parties take and accept no responsibility for the physical and mental health of those who partake in a Gloomy Sunday Séance or related event.

Gloomy Sunday, also known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song", is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress and published in 1933. The first lyrics were written in 1932 by László Jávor, in his melancholy love poem "Szomorú vasárnap" ("Sad Sunday"), after his beloved had left him....

Excerpt from the foreword:

This innovative method is easy and self-working and works in any language. There are no sleights, no preshow, no stooges or instant stooges. There are no progressive anagrams and no peeks or impression devices. There are no secret writings, no one aheads. There is no dual reality, no reframes, no psy forces. No arts and crafts or DIY is needed and there is nothing to reset. There is no kind of tearing involved, no indexing, no switching and nothing is spoken or written down by the participant. No apps and no electronics. The cards can be...

This is a magic square effect where spectators freely enter numbers in the main diagonal and you quickly fill out the rest of the numbers producing a perfect magic square.

Alternatively you could perform this the classic way that a spectator calls out a number and you fill in all the numbers to form a magic square. But the effect is stronger if your audience can freely choose not just the sum but several numbers in the square. In a variation Werner shows you how spectators can even select the squares where you should next enter a number during your fill-out sequence.

The method is so simple...

U. F. Grant was one of the world’s most prolific magic inventors, inventing over a 1000 tricks during his lifetime. This bundle contains 10 of his vintage instructions sheets. Some of these instructions are near impossible to find today. The instructions have not been redone; but, rather, these are scans of the original directions that Grant sent with each trick. All scans are readable. An educational look into the mind of U. F. Grant. Some of the tricks can be easily made after reading the instruction sheets.

The first forty (1-40) episodes of my podcast Magic From Wherever I'm At.

These episodes contain the following nuggets:

• The two (2) things every performance must have (Episode 40).
• The one thing you cannot sacrifice in performance - This is the biggest factor that makes bad magic bad (Episode 39). 
• The "notes" I got on my show from another performer... and the one throw-away comment that actually mattered (Episode 38).
• An obvious mistake magicians make every day that a Chicago police officer even noticed (Episode 37). 
• The "silk scarf snafu." The misunderstanding a new street performer...

Enigma is a DVD magic magazine. It is a family production of Chuck "Stylesmith" Smith and his son Chris Smith. Both are professionals in the video production business and both are magic enthusiasts.

The real value of Enigma for me personally is that I can see how some of the most recognized people in magic really are. We are invited to the homes of magic collectors or Chuck sits down for a chat with performers, dealers and other luminaries. It is a video record of our community. In a few years these discs will be highly sought after because they will hold some unique clips of people we cherish...
