TCFBob Farmer Here is a new, mind-boggling effect, raised up from the depths of the Bammo cerebral cortex - an effect that will defy all attempts at revealing its secret because the interlaced deceptive mechanisms - to quote Winston Churchill - create, "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." It uses something we call here at the Bammo offices, the TCF Principle. A principle that others, notably Henry Christ, John Scarne, Martin Gardner, Nick Trost, and Terry Lagerould have toyed with but, until now, its true potential has not been achieved. The spectator shuffles the deck (52 cards, all different). The magician, without looking at any... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |||
Hummer's OdysseyBob Farmer If you are interested in mentalism and/or impossible card locations and/or the Sunken Key, you will enjoy this manuscript. If you enjoy fooling other members of the conjuring demi-monde, you will enjoy this manuscript. If you know who Bob Hummer is, you will really enjoy this manuscript. If you like tricks that involve the Seven Deadly Sins, astrological signs, lucky cards and H.P. Lovecraft, you will enjoy this manuscript. It's twenty bucks, about what you'd pay for a Starbucks coffee on Rodeo Drive in L.A. Unlike the coffee, you won't need to talk to a sycophantic barista with a Chinese ideogram... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |||

The Red PredictionBob Farmer In August of 1963, Dai Vernon took a twenty-hour bus trip from Los Angeles to Dallas, Texas, to deliver a lecture at the Statler Hilton Hotel.
On the way there, Vernon created an amazing effect, an effect that is relatively unknown, even today. Shortly thereafter, Vernon advertised the trick for sale. From the fertile brain of Mr. Dai Vernon comes a MENTAL STUNNER! Here are the facts. Imagine this effect and the IMPACT ON THE AUDIENCE! The performer displays several cards face up and deals them in a random manner on the table top, some face up, some face down. NOW he gives a spectator an... | ★★★★★ $12.50 to wish list | |||
Bammo Brain BamboozlerBob Farmer An astounding encephalonic effect. Combines telepathy, teleportation and ancient Egyptian witchcraft (well, okay, that last thing about the witchcraft, that's not true, but the other stuff is). Officially this is the first addendum to Bammo Gaffus Maximus. Uses your brain and the brains of others. Two spectators think of cards. The first spectator's card vanishes from the deck. The magician removes one face-down card from his pocket and places it on the table. For the first time, the spectator names his card - the magician turns over the card on the table - it is the first spectator's card. But now for the... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |||
Bammo Gaffus MaximusBob Farmer A collection of new and novel gaffed decks, which you can easily all make at home, and strong effects that go along with them. Requires little to no sleight-of-hand. From the introduction: There is nothing sweeter than a gaffed deck that does something amazing, something that cannot be duplicated in any other way. A deck of cards looks so innocent, and is such a common object, that when it is converted into a wolf in sheep's clothing, the audience becomes an easy meal for the predatory wolf pack. Many of the ideas contained in this manuscript have been encouraged, corrected, improved... | ★★★★★ $30 to wish list | |||
The Bammo Tarodiction ToolboxBob Farmer A new method to quickly and secretly arrange cards from a small pack all the way to a full deck. No math needed unless you want to understand why it works. Within magic, no mind approaches Bob Farmer's. Outside magic, Machiavelli came close. The evidence is presented in "The Bammo Tarodiction Toolbox." - Stephen Minch | ★★★★★ $30 to wish list | |||
MutanzBob Farmer & Roy Walton A bizarre packet trick. Inexplicable, unexplainable, enigmatic, and just plain weird. A cascade of alchemikal conundrums. A phantasmagoric orgy of cabalistic conjuration. A bewildering bafflement of uncanny dimensionality. Strange and supernatural forces twist and possess ordinary cards until they become grotesque mutants - in the hands of the spectator! No angles. Everything examinable. Resets instantly. Satisfaction guaranteed or we'll apologize. Warning: This ad contains bombastic hyperbole and unconscionable embellishment. When the going gets weird the weird get Mutanz!

Bammo AcesBob Farmer McDonald's Aces with the Bammo Touch. "... how diabolically good ... Bammo Aces is!!! ... I really love your presentational angle. ... Each vanish is better than the one before it." - Glen GuldbeckWe have all fooled around with the Mcdonald's Aces routine so what could possibly be new about this trick. Running the voodoo down: here's what's new: innovative deceptive sequences that are extremely visual using some easy moves not previously featured in this effect. There... | ★★★★★ $7.50 to wish list | |||
Objet C'ard: tricks and ideas with the Bloom CardBob Farmer In February of 1986, David Ben and I sponsored a lecture by Gaetan in Toronto. It turned out to be a fabulous evening of magic. Towards the end, Gaetan demonstrated a monte routine which used what he claimed was a new kind of trick card. There were about 150 people in the audience and as I was standing at the back of the hall I couldn't really see what was going on. I didn't pay attention. When the Wright Brothers first took their new machine into the air, there was probably some guy tying his shoes who missed the whole thing. That would have been me. Luckily I got a second chance. Unlike the Wright... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list | |||
Cheat! The SequelBob Farmer Still No Skill? Still Absolutely No Problem! "This one is really, really good." - Mike K. Seldom does a card trick leave your audience groveling at your feet, women throwing themselves at you and the IRS auditing your tax returns. Sure, parting the Red Sea may be more impressive, but after your hands, in a dazzling digital jitterbug, cut five packets to reveal four Aces and a Queen - and then top that by immediately reassembling the deck and cutting another five packets to reveal a Royal Flush - well, even Moses would have to acknowledge, that's pretty damn slammin'. And that's just... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |||
Bammo 666Bob Farmer A couple of years ago, at the Genii and 31 Faces North conventions, I was showing some in-the-hands packet effects that used a new technique and getting amazed reactions quite out of proportion with what I expected. Though I reckoned I had little chance of fooling the cognoscenti with what I was doing (because the new technique was so simple), I noticed a lot of jaws dropping and exclamations of "Whoa!" as I demoed the effects, so I knew I'd hit on something really deceptive. In one effect, the Ace, 2, 3 and 4 first turn face up, then, one by one, they all turn face down. Counted again, each... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |||
Cheat! The PreludeBob Farmer Still no skill? Still no problem! Turn any spectator into a world-class card cheat. They'll love you for it unlike that stupid thing you do with the sponge balls. The magician hands the spectator a lucky rabbit's foot. They take turns cutting high card: the spectator wins every time. For the finale, they play a hand of poker - the spectator controlling the cards - again the spectator wins. Cheat: The Prelude the perfect lead in to Cheat. Together they make a devastating gambling routine, irrefutable evidence that you - YOU - are the MAN! (even if you are not a man). Simple and practically... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |||
Bad Influence: Before Computers Series 2Bob Farmer Before the proliferation of multi-card, back-changing face transforming packet tricks, Bob Farmer created a template known to only a few, here revealed for the very first time for the many is the secret. Effect: A small packet of Jokers changes color from red to blue to green to yellow to all different colors. The faces then change to kings. No special cards are required. No thick blocks of cards are used. All changes are instantaneous.

The PAT Switch: Before Computers Series 1Bob Farmer "... The PAT Switch will have you rethinking many of the tricks you know and probably have in your repertoire, as well as suggesting new ideas." - Matt FieldThere was a time when Doug Henning roamed the earth, a time designated B.C. (Before Computers). It was a time when armed only with an Olivetti portable typewriter, a deck of cards and a dream of unseating Max Maven as the inventor of more damn card tricks and sleights than anyone else in history, I devised many, many effects, some really awful with short life spans ("Spanish Inquisition," lie detector with Ascanio spread), some acceptable... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |||
TurnantulaBob Farmer "The sleight ... is to my knowledge new and is certainly a lovely maneuver promising wide applicability. If anything can shine through the welter of material being published today, I should think this sleight deserves to. It is quite simply, very, very good ... your applications ... [are] ... excellent in their construction." - Stephen Minch | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |||
Cheat!Bob Farmer "Verrrry nice!" - Roberto GiobbiNo Skill? No problem! Look like a card cheat without years of practice, self-denial, cheap bourbon and wild women.

And it's even more impressive if they tell you... | ★★★★★ $9.50 to wish list | |||
Mojo Boogie BoxesBob Farmer A three-phase, coin box routine with no difficult sleights. Perfect for the magician who doesn't do coin magic but wants to add an astounding effect to the repertoire. Can be performed close-up and surrounded. Included is Bob's "Beat the Devil" bizarre patter story. You will need one Boston Coin Box and two Okito Coin Boxes to perform this routine. M.D. "A blast to play with ... I have been having so much fun ...." R.R. "... (The routine is) a classic, down to professional quality patter." D.S.
