Zoom(Benny) Ben Harris
"The construction of the card is ingenious..." - Michael Close (Magic Magazine)
The famous and easy animated card that mysteriously moves away from your fingers—zooming across the table.
Examinable, before, during and after. This is one of the most devious uses of Elastic Thread ever created. Prior to releasing the idea to critical acclaim in 1999, Ben had been sitting on this for over ten years, using it privately for the most important occasions only. It is the perfect effect for Street Magic performances as it can be performed under the most stringent conditions—ANYWHERE!

X-Ray(Benny) Ben Harris & Steve Shufton  A plot by Ben Harris with a solution by Steve Shufton and an out by Felix Schellenberg.
"Ben Harris and Steve Shufton's X-Ray is, I think, one of the three best card effects to come out this decade. It's so unbelievably smart, and I use it all the time." - Joshua Jay
"A wonderfully clear cut plot. This is very powerful and appears utterly impossible." - Marc Paul
From the introduction:
When I was young, my uncle Peter fooled me badly with a simple X-Ray Vision stunt. It played serious havoc with my developing mind. Pete had been using his X-Ray Vision to "see through" the table top in order to identify how many fingers I was... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish listPDF |

Ultimate Floating Deck 2.0(Benny) Ben Harris The Ultimate Floating Deck or UFD was first published in 1984. Since then it has spurned many variations. The current manuscript has been refined and re-written. This brings the effect right up to date by cutting out the superfluous "1980's handlings". Consider this some serious "house cleaning" after twenty six years!
Now, the structure is linear and smooth--from the selection to the levitation. Clean, smooth, direct.
A card is selected and returned to the deck. It is given a quick all-around-square-up, and then placed on the palm. On command, the top half of the deck floats. First a... | $15 to wish listPDF |

Through the Universe - Backwards(Benny) Ben Harris One of the most eye-popping color-changing decks you will ever see.
"The presentation is rich in content, and the effect is as clear and clean as can be. This is one of the best cc deck routines I have seen." - Peter Duffie
"Brilliant. Beautiful. Straight into my set." - Kyle MacNeill
EFFECT:
The performer reaches into his pocket and removes an envelope. From within he removes a single BLUE-BACKED card. (The deck in use has RED BACKS.) The blue-backed card is placed to one side. It's identity is unknown at this point.
The performer explains...

This and That(Benny) Ben Harris The best-seller from 1986 is back.
You predict in advance which card will be named! Easy and fun.
This and That was a big seller back in the mid 1980's when the "Oscar" and "Phil" craze were at their peaks.
A spectator names any card (free choice) and you display that your deck has marked backs. They are all marked like "THIS" you say as you display cards in the deck as having the word "THIS" written on it's back. That's every card, but one. The selected card, on the other hand, has the word "THAT" written on it's back. Proving you know "this from that!"

"This is going to fry a lot of people..." - Richard Kaufman
"...the Crossroads Deck; a devious conception and one of the most interesting to hit the magic scene in recent times..." - Peter Duffie (from the foreword)
"The Crossroads technique alone, which we really like, will be seen as food for thought by many. As mentalists, our variation would be to use no deck at all. Just a single, thought-of card in the pocket. The solution will dawn on you after reading the text..." - Richard Busch & Larry Becker

TacTics(Benny) Ben Harris 2002 and a small lecture tour. Harris needed an oddity that would contrast his card work. Some visual and aural distraction. TacTics was the answer. 150 units were assembled, fingers burned, and instructions written. The item was quite popular and did end up in an issue of Genii. Here is the original manuscript, re-edited and with clear photos. Ideas with color-changes, sound-based illusion and the "Milk Pitcher" application allowing you to vanish tictacs, half a container at a time, till they're ALL GONE!

Sweet Spot(Benny) Ben Harris Inspired by a recent internet challenge, Ben Harris has "Le Pauled" the regular baggie! This creates a clever and practical alternative to the traditional Card In Wallet plot.
With Sweet Spot, a card, a coin, a borrowed ring or a credit card is made to vanish only to appear seconds later IN THE MIDDLE of the contents of a sealed baggie.
This can be filled with sand, candies, stamps, money, oregano, or whatever you want. The presentation angles are up to you. We give you a few to start with like the "Magic Sands of the Sahara,"

Superflip and S.F.U.C.(Benny) Ben Harris Imagine: You’ve just performed several stages in your “Ambitious Card” routine. For one final time you place the “magic card” in the middle of the deck. The deck is placed face-down in the middle of the table. You show your hands empty. With a snap of your fingers you gesture toward the deck. Now, by simply riffling upward gently on the tabled deck’s edges—and dribbling the cards back to the table—the signed selection instantly and visibly appears face-up, atop the deck!
You accept your well earned applause and feel cool that you’ve done this by mastering a simple and clever... | $6.95 to wish listPDF |
Starman(Benny) Ben Harris This is a stand-alone version from the book, Run Silent, Run Deep. Complete with full assembly instructions and full performance instructions. Simply print out the glorious color templates to create your own STAR DECK.
This effect DOES NOT require the use of Silent Running (although it can be enhanced with it). So, you do not need SR, or RSRD. This is completely self-contained. The clever deck does ALL the work for you.
It's a lovely effect where your spectator predicts an amazing moment in human history. That is, the moment of FIRST CONTACT with alien beings. Your audience member will predict the year, the month and the... | $10 to wish listPDF |
Solid Gold Easy Action(Benny) Ben Harris This is one of Ben Harris's favorite effects. Released in 1987, it featured heavily in his lectures across the '87-89 period and was a total sell-out at the major magic conventions, or whenever demonstrated.
In effect, a small envelope is shown, signed on BOTH sides by a spectator, and then left IN FULL VIEW upon the table. A card is now FREELY selected from the deck, and also signed. The spectator pushes his card squarely into the deck and then counts the cards. Mysteriously, his card has vanished. There are now just 51 cards in the deck.
The envelope, which has been in FULL VIEW the... | ★★★★★ $8.95 to wish listPDF |

Singapore Lecture Notes(Benny) Ben Harris Ben Harris' first set of lecture notes from his first ever lecture in 1985—
re-written, re-photographed...
These notes have been re-written and re-photographed. The material is bright, crisp and hard-hitting. Mostly cards, including a wonderful multi-phase OIL AND WATER routine that's a joy to perform. PYRAMID CARDS is an easy and visual stunt revelation that was originally created by Jay Sankey. Here are a couple of cool variations.

Part One of this finale jumps in at the deep end with some stunning and clever contributions.

PSI-Poker(Benny) Ben Harris PSI-POKER is the latest creation from Ben Harris (co-creator of 2010’s hit X-RAY).
This new effect is totally self-working, requiring no skill or gaffs. (Unless you are calling 'peeking the bottom card' a move.) The secret is ancient, but it’s never been used in this manner before. Magic’s leading historians and card experts have confirmed this claim. (To be precise, it is a new property of an old principle. Very clever indeed.)

Oil and Water Delux(Benny) Ben Harris This effect appears described briefly, yet adequately, in the Singapore Lecture Notes. This is a more thorough description and is accompanied by clear photographs, making it easier to learn.
The routine uses four black cards, and four red cards. Interlaced three times, they always separate. The moves used are smooth and create a lovely illusion. It does not look like sleight of hand, it really looks quite convincing! Heavily based in Marlo's work.

Madman's Card to Pocket(Benny) Ben Harris The FASTEST "CARD TO POCKET" EVER!
The Madman’s Card To Pocket was designed in order to produce a “smack in the face” moment for Ben's day-to-day performances and media interviews. It’s something direct, to the point and utterly impossible in appearance. The effect is all over in a matter of seconds, but this directness—which seems to eliminate the possibility that you could have cheated or manipulated the moment in any way—is what makes this so powerful.

Three applications are taught. A formal handling with Topit, a tabled handling and a cheeky walk-around handling for parties when you are hanging with friends. For these latter two approaches, you need no Topit, just the bottle. You can even make a partly filled bottle vanish or pass through a table-top!
