Commercial Gems Volume 1Mel Mellers 3 professional performance pieces direct from Mel's repertoire.
1: Spin a yarn a commercial presentation hook for the classic 'Gypsy thread' (performed with wool/yarn) with a great comedy spiel. Includes sample script and gags. 2: Around the world with a pack of cards. An offbeat and entertaining way to present the 'Six card repeat', enhancing the repetitive structure of the effect. 3: Totally scattered. Is a real fooler that plays big. A shuffled deck of cards is given to the spectator and they cut and note a card they then shuffle the cards again and scatter them. Under these impossible... | 2021 / 4 / 17 | $10.00 to wish list |

Psychology of SpiritismGeorge Miller Beard This article approaches spiritism from a scientific point of view including neurology and psychology. Beard's intention was to point out the failures of spiritualists and their lack of scientific understanding. He did this by criticizing how supporting evidence was gathered, mainly through testimony of human beings. However, Beard understood that the senses cannot always be trusted and that expert knowledge is crucial in deducing, explaining, and understanding the situation. As the oracle gave place to the astrologer, the astrologer to the alchemist, the alchemist to the witch, the witch... | 2021 / 4 / 16 | $5.00 to wish list |
Scripted #34: Thumb Thing FunLarry Brodahl An age old penetration of your own thumb using a string or chain has been revisited and reworked into a clever and deceptive trick. Simple. Easy to perform. Surrounded. No gimmicks, no gaffs. A classic of magic we all learned early on and never do, as it's not a very good trick. Until now. The trick has been transformed into a very cute and clever brain teaser with nothing more than a little modified handling and some clever scripting. 1st edition 2021, PDF 24 pages, video 1 min 48 s. | 2021 / 4 / 16 | $10.00 to wish list PDF & MP4 |

Color SchemeOscar Weigle A wonderful self-working version of "Out of this world" with several variations. A spectator forms a pattern of face-up and face-down cards which unaccountably separates the colors. This happens despite the spectator shuffling the cards repeatedly. An astounding color-divination effect, done in the spectator's own hands with unprepared cards. Nothing extra required. Complete with "in depth" notes and several variations in effect and presentation by Weigle himself, Martin Gardner and Clayton Rawson.

Fire LanternBrick Tilley A square-shaped paper chimney is ignited. When it has burned to a cinder the remaining ash floats mysteriously up to the ceiling before descending back to the performer's outstretched hand. Entirely safe and under the performer's control at all times. An excellent effect to be combined with fortune-telling or mentalism. A thing of subtle beauty.

200 Politically Correct One-Liner Jokes for MagiciansWolfgang Riebe The world has changed - radically! Being an entertainer and telling jokes has gone from 'having fun' with the audience to complaints about every possible issue. Political Correctness now rules. Whatever your view on the issue, the new reality is that all entertainers now need to be more aware than ever before not to offend an audience member. Hence the need for one-liner jokes that are non-political, non-religious, non-sexual, and just about non-everything.
As much as is humanly possible, jokes from past books and new ones have been combined in the ebook that will 'hopefully' not offend anyone.... | 2021 / 4 / 10 | $7.99 to wish list |

A New Theory of Trance and its bearing on Human TestimonyGeorge Miller Beard Beard distinguished several varieties of trance:
Trance may, for the sake of convenience of description, be divided into four varieties: the spontaneous, the self-induced, the emotional, and the intellectual trance.He goes on to describe how these various forms of trance can be entered and he explains that the emotions through which trance is most likely to be excited, are fear, reverence, wonder, and expectation. He rejects the notion that trance is created by some force or fluid the operator emits and rather explains it as the brain is only partially awake and active while the other... | 2021 / 4 / 9 | $5.00 to wish list |
