Cameron Francis products: page 1

After the success of the first two volumes, Cameron offers here five more incredible packet tricks using some special cards which are very easy to find.

CONTENTS:

• SON OF A WAVE: A unique double prediction using only eight cards.
• DALEY DOSE: Daley's Last Trick with a big Twist.
• MAGICIAN'S HOLD 'EM: A crazy game of Texas Hold 'Em involving a transposition, an appearance of a Royal Flush and color changing backs.
• UNFATHOMABLE: A great combination of mentalism and magic.
• MAKING FRIENDS: A printing effect with a funny kicker ending.

Probably the best of the series. Great packet tricks that use easy to find special cards.

CONTENTS:

• THEY ARE WHAT THEY EAT: A fun and very commercial Cannibal Cards effect with a twist.
• MAGIC IMAGE: A card is selected and lost in the deck, say the Seven of Hearts. A packet of blank cards with letters that spell out the word MAGIC is introduced. The letters then transform into the Word IMAGE. They transform once again to reveal the word CARD. Finally, the Seven of Hearts appears among the letter cards.
• SPACE SHUTTLE (unpublished): A hole vanishes from a blank card and reappears on a selected...

"Cameron's Rehab is great… it does take into consideration the angle issues with most restorations. He has cleverly made these adjustments without sacrificing the effect and artistry. It is as bold as it is beautiful and I highly recommend it to those who may have not considered the torn card premise. Some of the sequences genuinely fooled me and where I would think 'are yes but you can't show that bit cleanly', but then he does which is great." - Marc Spelmann

"Rehab is cooler than a snowman's icy bits!" - Liam Montier

"This is one of my favourite C.F. routines. I believe that many people...

Released is a brand new e-book of card magic that was created by professional magicians Cameron Francis and Liam Montier. If magic were wrestling, these guys would be the Legion of Doom.

Between them, these two whacky chaps have had more than a staggering 12 DVDs and released numerous effects and publications. Both have been hailed for fresh thinking, commercial material, strong effects and plots and simplicity of handling, and taste in shoes.

Now comes their first ever joint effort, which contains 10 brand new and sparkling routines, all designed for practical use.

Included within...

A killer, self contained packet effect that makes a great closer!

Effect:

“Right now I'd like to show you one of my favorite tricks. I love it because It's got a really big finish.”

The magician displays a packet of blue backed Jokers and one Ace of Hearts. One by one, three of the Jokers print the mates of the Ace of Spades.

“Now, I can understand how the Jokers turn into Aces. But the thing I don't understand is where these backs came from!”

The magician turns the Aces over to reveal four different back designs.

“Now, you might think that this is the big finish...

You remove two packets of cards, one visible and one invisible. The visible packet contains four blank cards. "The invisible packet contains the instructions on how to perform the trick." You slip the first invisible card into the face-down packet and run it through, whereupon it turns visible. It reads, MAKE A MAGICAL GESTURE OVER THE PACKET. The spectator does this. Another instruction card appears and says, SNAP YOUR FINGERS OVER THE PACKET. The spectator does this as well. The final instruction card appears and it reads, SAY YOUR FAVORITE MAGIC WORDS. The spectator does this as well. "I...

An incredible Card To Impossible Location system.

"A KILLER idea!" - Dave Forrest

"Another very commercial winner from the fertile mind of Cameron Francis. This one hits, and hits hard. It's expertly explained and taught, as are all of Mr. Francis' releases. A serious fooler, and highly recommended - - - period." - Daniel Ulin

"One of the best uses of this principle I have seen. Very clever!" - Peter Duffie

A card is selected. The spectator makes a random doodle on the card. The doodle is filled in to create a picture, say of a fish. The card then vanishes and reappears... wherever you want it to!...

Cameron Francis strikes again with a workhorse of a packet trick. An astonishing three phase routine that packs a wallop and is incredibly easy to do.

Effect:

The magician removes a small packet of Jokers. "These Jokers may look like normal cards but they are actually incredible magicians!" he claims. The Jokers are placed aside and the spectator selects a card. We'll say it's the Queen of Diamonds. The card is left face down on the table.

The magician shows that there are three Jokers in the packet and one blank card. "This card is a canvas on which the Jokers will write a divination."...

All of the magic contained in this ebook is practical, real world stuff that is guaranteed to leave a big impression on your spectators.

SPACE AVAILABLE – A blank card prints the face of a signed selection under impossible conditions!

HALFUSION – A one card fusion effect that'll knock 'em out!

"It's really f***ing GOOOOD!" - Dave Forrest

Three amazing effects. One professional grade routine... This is The Triple.

If Triumph, The Collectors, and a color changing deck effect all got together and had a baby, it might just look something like The Triple. Cameron Francis delivers another knockout multi-phase card routine that's truly amazing to witness but devilishly simple to execute. No gimmicks. No difficult sleight of hand. Just a truckload of powerhouse magic. Perfect for the professional...

a cannibal cards routine + three bonus effects

"Very, very good!" - Gary Jones

From the sleightly demented minds of Kyle MacNeill and Cameron Francis comes a cool cavalcade of carnivorous card creations: Four tricks inspired by the Lin Searles' "Cannibal Cards" plot.

The main event is "They Are What They Eat", a super direct cannibal cards routine with a powerhouse kicker ending!

Effects:

B'WAVY GRAVY - The spectator takes five cards from a shuffled deck, shuffles them, and then discards all but one. The magician instantly knows which card was selected.

CREATION - A card is "created" by a spectator. The magician reveals the card...

Cameron Francis brings you a twisted packet trick that will blow your spectators away.

Effect: The magician displays a packet of six Jokers and asks the spectators if they have ever heard of marked cards. Assuming they reply in the affirmative, the magician continues, "Well, most people don't know how to really mark cards. Especially in a subtle fashion. But I do. And I'll show you right now using this packet of jokers." Noticing two blue backed jokers in the packet, the magician sets them aside, claiming they are "troublemakers". The other four Jokers are shown to have normal red backs....

In Turbulence, the impossible becomes possible.

Turbulence is a multi-phase card routine that is both mind-bending and entertaining.

Effect:

Turbulence kicks off with a sizzling and super clean "Collectors" phase where four Kings instantly collect three previously signed cards. Then, in the blink of an eye, the three cards instantly vanish. The three cards are then reproduced as they are summoned from the deck one by one. Finally, the Kings are placed in your pocket and an impossible transposition occurs — the Kings are suddenly found on the table while the three signed cards are...

This effect is straightforward and powerful. A most unusual routine. A gem of intimate close-up magic. A card is selected from a deck of cards, say it is the 5-of-Spades. A packet of three Jokers is introduced. The 5-of-Spades is placed among the Jokers whereupon it instantly turns face down. It is replaced and turns face up. You then draw an X on the back of the 5-of-Spades which is placed face down in the packet. The cards are counted and now the 5-of-Spades is face up with an X on its face. The X visibly disappears off the face of the 5-of-Spades and now all the Jokers have an X on their...

"Unfathomable is an absolute killer! Rock on, Cameron. Rock on!" -- Jamie Daws

An incredible, super easy, completely examinable prediction effect that fits in your wallet!

Effect:

The magician removes a packet of playing cards and two face down business cards. He shows the playing cards to be a mix of red and black spot cards and then gives the packet a shuffle. Saying that there are two predictions on the business cards, the magician places one in front of the spectator and one in front of himself. During an extremely fair procedure, the spectator divides the cards between the magician and...

"Brilliant T&R! One of the best I've seen!" - Tony Chris

"Vivid is the strangest T&R card routine I've ever seen!" - Stephen Tucker

Introducing a wild test of a spectator's imagination...

A card is selected - say, the King of Hearts - and placed inside the card box. A second card - say, the Five of Spades - is then selected and lost in the deck (really, it's completely lost!). You ask your spectator to imagine that she's tearing off a corner of the King of Hearts. You then ask her to imagine taping that corner to the back of the Five of Spades. The magician removes the King from the box...only...
