Force Multiplier is a concept where multiple forces are applied to a routine or effect so that the overall impact gets exponentially bigger. So the result is far bigger than just the sum of individual parts. In a way, 2+2 does not remain 4 but becomes, say 20.

And this concept of Force Multiplier is used to create 3 effects that are propless, instant and impactful, at the same time. And you do not need anything at all to perform these effects. Just carry the simple and easy method in your head and you are set to perform these...

Der Vorführende weist daraufhin, dass bei fehlender Logik in der Zauberkunst keine Täuschung zustande kommt. Er demonstriert dies mit Hilfe von Aussagen über eine Kugel und einen Becher, die der klassischen Logik folgen, d. h. wahr oder falsch sind.

Die Kugle wandert dabei aus der Tasche unter den Becher, und wächst schliesslich um ein Vielfaches. Die Wanderung der grossen Kugel aus der Hand unter den Becher will nicht gelingen. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die Kugel nicht unter den Becher wandern kann, weil dieser gar keine Öffnung hat,...

The effects on the phone have become, for me, almost an obsession. I have, for now, collected more than 100 and, slowly, I am proposing them with these publications. Some draw inspiration from real "pearls" of great artists, which I allowed myself to face, with extreme humility, developing them with a new setting, sometimes adding some interesting details. Others are a little older, even centuries, maybe even well known, but they are often "disruptive" as never before. I share them with pleasure.

In this booklet you will find:

Gli effetti di mentalismo al telefono sono diventati, per me, quasi un’ossessione! Ne ho, per ora, collezionati più di 100 e, piano piano, li sto proponendo con queste pubblicazioni. Alcuni traggono spunto da vere “perle” di grandi artisti, che mi sono permesso di affrontare, con estrema umiltà, sviluppandoli con una nuova ambientazione aggiungendo, talvolta, qualche interessante dettaglio. Altri sono un po’ più vecchi, anche di secoli, magari anche molto conosciuti, ma sono spesso “dirompenti” come non mai! Li condivido con piacere!

Telepathic X-Ray Visions is a four-step mentalism routine in which the illusionist arranges three non-transparent plastic cups of different colors, and under each one places a chip of the same color. While the mentalist is turned around, the spectator will secretly choose one of the three colored chips, and in three different stages of increasing difficulty, each time the magician, after having exchanged some cups and chips, will always manage to guess both the chip the spectator thought of and the colors of each of the three chips hidden under each cup, the last time even remaining turned...

Telepathic X-Ray Visions è una completa routine di Mentalismo divisa in 4 fasi indipendenti, in cui l’illusionista dispone tre bicchieri di plastica, non trasparente e di diverso colore, e sotto ad ognuno pone una fiche del medesimo colore.

Mentre il mentalista sarà voltato, lo spettatore sceglierà segretamente una delle tre fiche colorate, e in tre diverse fasi di difficoltà crescente, ogni volta il mago, dopo aver fatto scambiare tra loro alcuni bicchieri e fiche, riuscirà sempre ad indovinare sia la fiche pensata che i colori di ognuna delle tre fiche nascoste sotto ogni bicchiere,...

Alles, was Sie über Gedächtniskunst wissen wollten, aber zu fragen vergessen haben.

Dieses Buch entstand, nachdem ich gemerkt habe, dass auch ein Randgebiet wie die Gedächtniskunst für viele Mentalisten interessant ist. Bevor ich mein Seminar bei dem Jahrestreffen der GEM (Gemeinschaft europäischer Mentalisten) in Bad Soden, 2007, abhielt, hätte ich das nicht gedacht. So hatte ich mein Seminar nur für eine Stunde geplant, woraus dann aber zwei Stunden wurden.

From the introduction by Billy McComb:

This is a wonderful ebook to introduce a beginner to magic and teach him or her several excellent magic tricks. It covers all the necessary basics. Written by Peter Warlock, a world-wide respected master magician and widely published author in magic.

From the introduction:

This is a delightful departure from the standard card effect due to its ingenious patter line and startling conclusion. First conceived in the 1970s, the visual of four "cannibal" cards devouring a pair of "missionary" cards stands out in the memory of spectators. A welcomed addition to your bag of tricks.

A great ebook for those interested in creating their own mechanical (rough and smooth) trick decks or restoring old ones.

But that's not all. In this revised and expanded edition, you also get complete instructions for making your own Brainwave and Pop-Eyed Popper decks. While you can buy them ready-made from a dealer, making them yourself allows you to create custom decks, such as with airline or other...

Who among us is not familiar with injogs and outjogs? Since the days of Erdnase, these very handy adjuncts have helped enable magicians to turn out miraculous feats of card magic.

Card man Ian Baxter offers up an unusual use for the humble injog here in his latest manuscript. This is the venerable 'STOP' trick with a difference and you will be most impressed. Positively no complicated sleights or outrageous moves in this strictly commercial adaptation of a classic. Don't pass this one up!

A demonstration of enhanced empathic/telepathic awareness and influence with a positive spin on social distancing and masking requirements. Very old techniques and methods are applied in a new way that can be entertaining but are also very impactful.

A telepathy-type mentalism demonstration that puts a positive spin on social distancing and masking. Three spectators spaced six feet apart make respectful choices based on intuition and the mental influence of the others. (Masks not required). They must balance keeping a secret, focusing on the needs of others, and avoiding distractions....

• No secret writing

The spectator's cut to the four sandwiches is a succession of magical effects. The magician takes his two lucky cards from the deck: the two of hearts and the two of diamonds. The spectator examines the two cards. The magician shuffles the deck and asks the spectator to cut it into four piles. This is where the fun part begins. Each time the magician approaches the two lucky cards to one of the piles, a card will mysteriously appear between the two lucky cards. The first will be a King, the second as well, and so on until you have the four Kings. It is not finished. Immediately the magician...
