You reveal a freely thought card.

EFFECT: Spectator freely selects several cards from his own shuffled deck and thinks of one. Those are returned and mixed in the pack. By means of "tuned thought-waves" the performer discovers the very card spectator is thinking of and, either names it dramatically, or causes it to obey his command in a distinctly "unique" manner. A real mental mystery.

Remember:

• No advance preparation
• The card is really only thought
• Free choice without any force
• Cards can be borrowed
• Very subtle method…you will love it.

Über das Thema Rauh-Glatt sprach ich zum ersten Mal im Seminar auf dem Magierkongreß 1956 in Leipzig. Danach erschienen von mir 5 Fortsetzungsserien über dieses Thema in der Zauberkunst. Wenn die Redaktion der "Zauberkunst" und ich uns trotzdem noch entschlossen haben, ein Buch darüber herauszubringen, dann vor allem deshalb, damit über dieses interessante Gebiet einmal eine zusammenhängende Enzyklopädie vorhanden ist. Und ich kann Ihnen versprechen: Ich habe Bücher und Zeitschriften gewälzt, ich habe mit vielen Zauberfreunden im In- und Ausland korrespondiert und kann Ihnen...

The secret of success in doing a question and answer act lies in the performer's ability to answer the questions intelligently and to the point. The lack of this knowledge - how to answer the questions - has proven to be a major stumbling block to many performers. While not a new book on the subject, therein lies the gold. The authors' understanding of the subject was so complete and basically sound that this book...

1st edition 2019, PDF 4 pages.

A spectator populates a row of a 4x4 square with any four numbers. You fill out the remaining 12 squares in seconds to construct a magic square. Does not require any math.

This has become my favorite impromptu magic square effect, because it is easier than a classic magic square - there is literally no math, unless you consider counting up or down by one math - and it produces a stronger effect with spectators. Thus a win-win all around.

The effect: Take any piece of paper, for example the backside of a restaurant receipt, and draw an empty 4x4 square. Then ask a spectator to fill in any...

What is there about the contents of the book that could make it well worthwhile?

Chapter 1 is called "Angelo Lewis in Perspective." That chapter is an overview of Professor Hoffmann. It alludes to several of Hoffmann's books, inside and outside of magic, that can be considered classics. ...

Starting from the splendid Carlyle version, which appeared on the historical Stars Of Magic, through Roberto Giobbi's Homing Card Plus, from the second volume of Card College, Matteo offers his vision on this great card magic effect.

The Homing Card is certainly one of the few effects with playing cards that are well suited to different situations: close-up, parlour, TV, theatre...
