Swami Theory 101Hal Saxon
"As a total newbie, I've always wanted to explore swami or nail writing, but there were too many choices so I had no idea where to start. I also love the list of tricks. I think I'll proceed down the lie detector route too. Thanks a bunch Hal." - Bill Peterson
Swami Theory 101 is a workshop-style swami writing tutorial for true beginners to this form of magic and mentalism.
The swami writer magic and mentalism trick is a classic effect where the magician appears to predict or reveal a thought-of piece of information, such as a number or word. The trick relies on a small, concealed... | ★★★★★ $17 $12 to wish listPDF & MP4 |
Two Amazing (Thumb Tip) VanishesHal Saxon These two TT vanishes are beginner vanishes, but they are oh-so different.
These are real foolers. Fit whatever you want in vanish one. It is a full gimmick vanish. Vanish two will hold just about anything as well. You will need a TT gimmick from your magic shop as described in the video. These are absolutely unmodified gimmicks. You probably already have one.
These two vanishes are angle-proof, close-up, easy to learn, and very deceptive. Perform these right in front of your spectator's eyes. No one, I mean no one sees the gimmick.
Vanish one is a deceptive play on the old beginner... | $20 $10 to wish listMP4 (video) |

SwitcherooHal Saxon Invisibly switch a folded playing card (bill, cash, sugar pack, ...) against another right in front of their eyes.
Destined to be in your EDC (everyday carry). A real crowd-pleaser. A perfect close-up and table-hopping effect. A very fast, angle-proof, and up-close transformation with spectator involvement. Not a thumb-tip. This effect uses a homemade gimmick that most homes would have. The gimmick takes about five minutes to make. Both playing cards can be inspected.
You can also change bills, billets, cash a check, change sugar to sweeten low, etc.

Dye Tube MasterclassHal Saxon
The dye tube reimagined. The silk color change is no longer stale and boring.
The Dye Tube is Devious: "What? The old Dye Tube? Devious? Most magicians will say no the dye tube is not even remotely devious. It is stale, boring, and blaaa."
I say yes, the dye tube is incredibly devious when handled differently than the traditional handling of the last 100 years. Let's make your dye tube a valued part of your EDC Every Day Carry again.
Devious is defined as insidious, deceitful, not straightforward; shifty or crooked. Imagine professional magicians using these terms to describe your... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish listMP4 (video) |
Loaded Salt Shaker Vanish and ProductionHal Saxon

This is accomplished with a cheap, easy-to-build homemade gimmick made from objects in almost every home on the planet. The build takes about 5 minutes.
The handling is key in making this work. The salt shaker is real, un-gimmicked and can be inspected. The funnel is real, un-gimmicked and inspectable. The salt cellar is also real and can be inspected. I use a few TT moves to throw off those in the know of... | $12.50 to wish listMP4 (video) |

The 21st Century Threads is an amazing effect that utilizes imaginary super elastic, incredibly strong, invisible threads to pull a silk from one hand, instantly around the performer's back and into the opposite hand.
