The Red Hot Coin RevealedDevin Knight"This is perhaps, the greatest 'come on', or 'bally stunt' the world has ever known." - Floyd ThayerThis is a sadly forgotten effect that was a big hit back in vaudeville, but overlooked by today's magicians. It has been used by Thurston, Blackstone Sr., U. F. Grant, Tommy Windsor and other great magicians. This is one of the funniest routines in magic and you don't have to be a comedian or comedy performer to pull it off. It always results in hilarious laughter. The premise is simple; the performer invites a boy up and shows him a half-dollar. The performer says, "This is the one and only RED HOT COIN. After years... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish list | ||

No Way!Devin KnightThis is one of my all-time favorite card tricks (miracles); because after seeing it, most spectators say, "NO WAY!" Imagine this; you spread a regular deck of cards face up between your hands. All the cards are seen to be different. You tell your spectator that you want him to remove one card behind your back so there is no way you can see the card he selected. You turn your back towards him and spread out the cards face up behind your back. He is asked to remove any card and not let you see what it is. Next he takes a Sharpie pen and puts his initials on the face of the card. He inserts... | ★★★★★ $3 to wish list | ||

U. F. Grant's Lost Illusion Secrets RevealedDevin Knight & Ulysses Frederick GrantThis is the largest collection of U. F. Grant illusions and illusionettes every assembled.

Over the years, Grant sold many manuscripts that just contained one illusion along with building plans in most cases. (Some of these were released by Percy Abbott in his catalog without credit to U. F. Grant.) This compilation is a collection of those plans released by Grant and also in the early... | ★★★★★ $35 to wish list | ||
Walking Through a Woman IllusionDevin Knight & Ulysses Frederick GrantAt last, here is a new illusion effect and one that any performer may own.

There is a space between the two center chairs wide enough for the performer to walk through. A girl assistant is then placed in a reclining position across the seats of the four chairs.... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | ||

Natural Facelift for EntertainersDevin KnightThis is not an ebook of magic tricks, but rather a book of tricks of the trade that will make you look younger and more professional on stage. The same techniques used by Hollywood stars. It is not my normal book on magic, but still, is one of the most important PDFs I have written. Youth sells. I will say it again, youth sells.
