Bammo Mind ControlBob Farmer This is a routine for those who want to elicit screams from their female spectators at the final revelation. They are thinking of a card, the only card in the deck with a secret message, a message so profound and emotionally connecting that a scream of disbelief is the only reaction possible. At least that's what road tests of the routine have shown. Also included, is a bonus routine with magic eyeglasses, invisible writing made visible, and a kicker ending that will baffle all. 1st edition 2023, PDF 7 pages. | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |||
Bammo BlackJack BushwhackBob Farmer Two sets of nine cards are shuffled by the spectator and the magician as part of a Blackjack aptitude test. The spectator even shuffles the magician's cards. When dealt out, the spectator has nothing but the magician's cards form a magic square summing to 21 horizontally, vertically and diagonally. When you try this, you will see the astounding impact it has on an audience. You must be the greatest card cheat of all time - after all, the spectator shuffled all the cards and you never looked at them, he did everything you did, there was no hint of sleight of hand or cheating, yet you knocked... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |||
The Bammo Full-Deck False ShuffleBob Farmer J.C. Wagner's "Super Closer" is one of the most impressive routines you can do with a deck of cards. Ricky Jay knew this and only was told the workings after Wagner held out for one of Jay's inner secrets. The deck is shuffled and cut and then divided into four packets. The magician and the spectator shuffle the four packets. Effect #1: The top cards of each packet are turned over to reveal the four Aces. Effect #2: The spectator buries the four Aces in the deck. The magician spells each Ace to find all four and, as he does so, four packets are created. Effect #3: The four Kings are spelled... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |||
Bammo Queen MonteBob Farmer For those who wish to fool those who know all the other gaffed montes (Skinner's, Deland's "Pickitout," the British "Chase the Ace"), the "Bammo Queen Monte" is here and ready to serve. Those other versions use two gaffed cards, the Bammo Queen Monte does not - which means that there are deceptive displays possible that the others cannot match. There is no sleight of hand: the special cards do all the work. The entire routine happens on the table just like the real monte. Alternately, for maximum visibility, larger cards can be used with some card holders. Three cards are shown,... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |||
Bammo Ten Card Poker SlamBob Farmer The magician displays a random mix of ten cards, all spot cards and a single Ace of Spades. He explains these cards are used in a game called, "Ten Card Poker Slam" - with just ten cards cheating is impossible. The cards are mixed face down and dealt in a row. The magician and the spectator take turns selecting cards until each has five cards. The magician reveals his hand: four 2s and an Ace of Spades - Four of a Kind - BUT - - - The spectator's hand is a Straight Flush in diamonds, 6D, 7D, 8D, 9D and 10D - and a Straight Flush beats Four of a Kind, so the magician has the losing hand.... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |||
Bammo CychopsBob Farmer When Teller saw this he said: "A work of mad genius." Here at the Mad Genius Institute (MGI) we spend our days chasing the elusive butterfly of love and when we realize it's just another of the many delusions that sent us here in the first place, we get back to our real work: creating mind-bending magic so far outside the box it's a long-distance call to reality. What happens when you decide to use not one or two Chop Cups but three? Three Chop Cups and three magnetic balls: you can't get farther from the mundane than that.

TCF: Ten Count ForceBob 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 | |||

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 Bamboozler: Bammo Gaffus Maximus Addendum 1Bob 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 | |||

(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 | |||
