You may have seen something similar in a stage version from Martin Lewis. Ralf got his inspiration from Martin's effect and worked out a pocket version of it that uses a sticky note pad.

Effect: Draw a wrong prediction of a playing card on a sticky note pad. The chosen card rises out of the same picture. Give it away as an impossible souvenir.

1st edition 2014, length 28 min 26 sec.

Ralf Rudolph explains three impossible looking objects which you can make from paper or paper money. Remember that there is no gluing and there are no hidden cuts. You take pieces of paper, fold, cut, braid and interlock them to achieve these beautiful objects. Surprisingly they are very simple to make once you know how.

The three impossible objects taught are:

• Braided Bills: Two bills are cut, folded and woven together.
• Inside-Out Banknote: An individual bill is cut an folded in a way that looks completely impossible.
• Braided Pyramid: You fold one bill into a pyramid shape and then...

This is an Exciting, Unique, Original, tic sheet I've been using for a couple of years to incredible success! Client's LOVE IT! And I wanted to share it with you. For a long time I did readings using the actual Pai Gow Tiles. As far as I know I was the only one doing Pai Gow Tile readings in the US and possibly the world. But carrying the tiles around got tiresome, so I developed these incredible tic sheets.

Based on an ancient Chinese reading system, I introduce to you ...

The Contents Herein Are For Psychic Entertainers Who Want To Come Across As The Real Thing.

For the most part, these routines will not come across effectively unless they are presented with an air of believability. If you don't intend on presenting these as real demonstrations, please do not purchase this manuscript as there will be, with a couple of exceptions, little information of use to you.

I am involved in the metaphysical community and these have all been demonstrated in that environment. Not to be taken lightly.

The following will probably be received as a controversial statement,...

Previously released exclusively within the PEA (Psychic Entertainer's Association) this is a quick and easy visualization experiment where your subject imagines colorful butterflies frolicking around a water fountain in a magical garden. This is good for the psychic entertainer in casual settings, perfect for one on one while waiting for a meal, or hanging out in your library in front of the fireplace.

• Peaceful
• Native American Tradition
• Chakras
• Colors

This is an exercise in pure performance and psychological effectiveness. Easy to do and it works. Not to mention the fact that by performing it you will become a better overall performer in all the other effects you choose to perform. A great effect for beginning mentalists who want to get good fast, bold, awesome.

A deck of cards is brought out, removed from its case and the performer demonstrates what the spectator is to do in a moment by spreading the deck face-down on the table and randomly removing a card. The deck is then quickly shuffled. The 52 card deck is again spread face down...

"Really great stuff! I love Billz. Such a cool serial number prediction. Great application of a tried and true principle." - Cameron Francis 


"I saw TC DESTROY a room full of magicians with this amazing CARD MIRACLE. He quickly scribbled something on a pad and that was it. Such a strong and clean version of the classic STOP trick or OPEN PREDICTION. Everyone laughed when he showed us the easy method." - Nathan Kranzo

Trust: A spectator guesses the card placed in full view on the table at the very beginning. (Uses dual reality among other bold principles, but the cool thing is that the participant can swear in front of everybody that it is the same card). There is absolutely no force for the spectator's card.

Variations on Trust: Including an interesting one with a business card where you write the card (before the spectator reveals her card).

Crossword: Another, and different, method for "Trust".

Smashed: The spectator forgets her drawing.

Subliminal: An interesting addition to a force. This...

1. The methods in the lessons are the ones I use in the demo clips. I don't talk about seventeen different methods.
2. Nothing in the lessons is self working. If you are not willing to put in the practice, then don't buy them.

From the fertile mind of Ken De Courcy, Edwin Hooper and Ian Adair, here is a manuscript loaded with wonderful ideas to magically introduce and produce your business card...

From the introduction:

Three predictions! Two methods! One sensational effect!

Effect: The performer removes three cards from a shuffled deck and leaves them in a face down pile on the table. He explains that these cards are mates of cards that will be selected by two spectators and himself. The two spectators choose numbers freely and the cards at those positions are placed into a separate stack on the table. The magician offers the audience a choice of two different numbers for his cards. Whichever is chosen, the performer counts to that card and places it on top of the first two selections. A spectator turns...

Tarbell Course contributor Nick Conticello follows his debut The Shadow Placement with three more sensational new effects requiring only an ordinary deck of 52 cards and a clear head to perform. One sleight is required; we include The Widdershins Cut, an effective and simple false cut.

Contents include:

1. THOUGHT CAUGHT: An unprepared deck is shuffled by the performer and cut by the spectator. Two piles of cards are dealt out. The spectator thinks of a card in one of the piles and buries the selection in the deck himself. The performer scans the cards quickly, and removes one card, which turns out to be the selection. No...

Simple Collectors is Peter's take on the original Collectors plot. Three cards are selected by three spectators, and after they have remembered their selections the cards are lost in the deck. The magician shows the four kings and also randomly distributes these throughout the deck. With a snap of the fingers the magic happens, and the magician spreads the cards out on the table. In between the 4 Kings; 3 Cards assembled themselves. The Three selected cards.

You will need a little bit of wax.
