How To Get Your Screenplay ReadGraham Hey Thousands, even hundreds of thousands of writers out there would love to get their work in the hands of a Hollywood production company, but how do you do it? Well, there are the traditional routes of getting your work read, or there is the way that I did it. My way is the way to do it if you haven't been to some top screenwriters academy (is there such a thing?) or don't have the inside connections that it's always really useful to have. I had all the same sort of replies that everyone else gets: "No unsolicited scripts!" I had zero contacts, so I formulated a plan. In the past few years,... | $10 to wish list | ||
The Gravity Deck: a self-working killer effectGraham Hey A spectator signs a freely selected card (no force). The card is replaced into the deck which is shuffled and thrown loose into a McDonald's paper bag (or any other bag, or container, which can be borrowed and is completely ungimmicked). The bag is shaken by various spectators - the cards are genuinely mixed-up. The magician then reaches into the bag whilst looking away - and brings out a single card. It is the signed card! This is so easy, self-working, and perfect for close-up or on stage. You can find the only blue card in a red deck - whilst properly blindfolded. Includes a fantastic,... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | ||
Molecule MadnessGraham Hey Two cards (2 x Queen of Spades) are shown to a spectator, who is then handed an "invisible card" the 9 of Hearts. The spectator throws the invisible card towards the magician who is going to catch it between the two queens. The spectator does this and the 9 of hearts instantly appears between them! Then, whenever the magician wants, the 9 of hearts vanishes - only to turn up in another location. This is a great self-working effect that gets great reactions. You'll need to make the gimmick with a couple of things most magicians will already possess. It'll take you just five minutes and... | $10 to wish listPDF & MP4 | ||
Book Him Danno!Graham Hey Another fabulous comedy mentalism effect with a full comedy routine. An envelope is in full view which contains a single book. A plastic tumbler contains many pieces of paper - each piece has the titles of two books written on it. The spectator freely selects one piece of paper. They then have a choice of either book - and they can change their mind! They finally select one ... and it's the same as the one in the envelope. The envelope contains one book - the selected one. The envelope is then ripped up to prove there is nothing else inside. This is virtually a self-working effect and... | $10 to wish list | ||
Mental MoviesGraham Hey From a paper bag, you remove a ball of paper which is then thrown over your shoulder into the audience. The person who catches it is going to assist you. You show them a selection of movies written on to the faces of playing cards. These are turned face down and the spectator mixes them behind their back. You say you're going to try and use your manipulation skills and make them select a certain movie. After they have mixed the cards, you invite them to take the top card. It's 'Jurassic Park'. You then instruct them to open the ball of paper used to freely select them - it's a poster for Jurassic... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | ||
Who's Got the Snow?Graham Hey A comedy 'just chance' routine with a modern twist. The performer has five envelopes numbered 1-to-5. One of the envelopes contains cocaine donated free for PR purposes by a leading Columbian drug cartel. (They're not all bad, after all!) Go with it - this is a comedy routine. (Non-adult version also included.) Audience members select any four envelopes - but there's no 'snow' in any of them. The remaining envelope belongs to the performer - inside is the expensive white powder. This is a comedy routine with a brilliant visual ending that goes down a storm. But don't worry if you want... | $10 to wish list | ||
What The?Graham Hey A spectator writes any word of their choice onto a sticker which is placed on their playing card. The card is then replaced somewhere into the deck - the magician genuinely doesn't know exactly where the card is. The deck is placed back into the card box and the magician proceeds to correctly discern what word has been chosen. A different word every time. Can also be a drawing, number, etc. Five-second re-set. No-brainer. What people really love is that there's a fantastic visual gag (or two) in the middle of this routine which we don't want to spoil. But you will get big laughs, guaranteed.... | $10 to wish list | ||
DNA ClinicGraham Hey "Graham Hey is a master at taking long-forgotten methods and turning them in to modern gold! And D.N.A Clinic is fabulous!" says Mike McClean - one of the World's top comedy mentalists. The effect titled 'D.N.A clinic' is a comedy card routine that involves the spectator freely selecting a card which they then rub over their body to make sure they add a little of their D.N.A on to it - this will help the magician find their card, as they've been attending a D.N.A evening class. Not only does he find the card, but the rest of the deck is also revealed to be completely blank. No forces, no... | $10 to wish list | ||
The Sharpie MiracleGraham Hey Six Sharpies are placed under 6 numbered, identical paper cups. While the performer turns away, a spectator removes a Sharpie from any cup and writes down the number of the cup they selected. They place the paper in their pocket and replace the Sharpie back under the cup. The magician can instantly reveal which number cup they took the Sharpie from. 100% self-working. Nothing is marked. A simple gimmick you may already have does the trick. Also included is The Pencil Case Mystery which is a brilliant variation on the above routine. 6 pencil cases each contain a different colored Sharpie.... | $10 to wish list | ||
LimitlessGraham Hey Here's a fantastic method for predicting virtually anything. The gimmick is simple and all you need to make it is two common items you might already have. The gimmick enables you to create feature effects that play huge. The Washing Line: 8 items are hanging on a line - 7 are clean, and one needs washing again. The audience freely eliminates them one at a time until one remains - it's the one that has a large 'stain' on the back. Includes full routine. So easy to do, yet so clever. No force, no stooges - just a brilliant 'slap-your-forehead' method. Predict-a-Star: Several DVDs are shown.... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | ||
Scrabbled!Graham Hey Here's a cool mentalism effect where you force a series of Scrabble pieces in the fairest of ways. The effect can be performed in close-up or standup situations. A bag of Scrabble pieces is shown in a paper bag - spectators can freely select any pieces - they are all mixed - just like in a normal game of Scrabble. The performer reveals that he knew how many points their Scrabble tiles would add up to, plus which word would be made, in a novel way. This is easy to do and easy to make. All you need is a couple of paper bags ... and the gimmick is so easy, you can make a pile of them at the same... | $10 to wish list | ||
The Final StrawGraham Hey The Final Straw - a very clever mentalism effect. Five different colored straws in a cocktail glass. One straw contains a rolled-up gift voucher for the holiday of a lifetime and a year's supply of cocktails. All the others contain a note which says 'you lost!' Spectators select any 4 colored straws (no forcing) the contents of each straw is pushed out ... and they all lose. The remaining straw has the winning gift voucher. This is so clever and virtually self-working. You'll need to buy some straws - you should have everything else you need. As usual with Graham's effects, they are easy to... | $10 to wish list | ||
The Big Story!Graham Hey A book test, a 3-card trick, and a 5-envelope impossible selection routine - all self-working. A prediction envelope is placed on the table, along with the performer's favorite novel. The spectator is handed a magazine that has had the staples removed and is asked to select any one of the double pages she likes. It's a free choice. She is then asked to add all the page numbers together. Let's say the number totals 170. She turns to page 170 in the novel ... and the prediction reveals which city is mentioned, the make of car which is talked about, and the unusual word on line 4! In fact,... | $10 to wish list | ||
Walk of Fame!Graham Hey A great mentalism effect for small groups to huge crowds. Effect: A pile of cards with the name of a movie star on each one is shown to a helper. They remove one and it's placed into an envelope, whilst the magician turns away - the remaining cards are removed. It's a completely free choice. There are no stacks, and no card set up - they can be freely shuffled by the spectator first. The cards are not marked. The envelope is 100% opaque. The spectator holds the envelope with their card inside, in front of their face - and the performer asks a member of the audience which movie the spectator... | $10 to wish list | ||
The Billionaire BoxGraham Hey A collection of 4 self-working gems plus a few visual gags to use in close-up or stand up. Includes: The Billionaire Box Four envelopes - each contains a key.

Your envelope is the only one left ... you open it, remove the key and it opens the lock! You get to keep the keys to your Porsche. This is completely self-working and is great for stand-up or close-up for small groups, like a table at... | $10 to wish list | ||
