Amaze your audiences with this novel effect of revealing five selected cards from a single piece of paper with Chinese writing. Must be seen to be believed.

The late Sid Lorraine designed several novel paper folding tricks. These papers were folded to reveal various pictures or messages. Most of these were released in the mid-50s. By far, the best was called Chinese Folder. This item has been long forgotten and was discontinued by the Abbott Magic Company more than thirty years ago. Devin Knight has received permission from the company to release this item again and updated the presentation...

Code Red, from a non-mentalism perspective, has several meanings, including being a code used in hospitals to alert staff to various emergencies. The use of codes is intended to convey essential information with zero misunderstanding so that errors can be avoided. Within hospitals, codes can be posted on placards throughout the hospital, or even on employee ID badges for ease of reference. Code Red in hospitals is certainly an established protocol. Within mentalism, however, I first introduced Code Red in my performance in 2014, so it is a new concept. As the technique’s originator, I define...

From the introduction:

MAGIA CON LE TORTORE: Un sogno diventa realtà ! ecco nelle mani di tutti gli appassionati l'ottavo volume della collana, mai pubblicato in lingua italiana, nel quale l'autore, dopo aver illustrato diversi tipi di "serventi" per contenere le tortore, descrive vari metodi di produzione delle stesse (da un foulard, a mani nude, da palloncini ecc.); segue quindi una serie di procedimenti per far sparire il volatile (ad esempio, lanciandolo in aria e trasformandolo in un foulard o in una sciarpetta bianca); l'ultima sezione è dedicata a diversi effetti con le tortore: apparizione da apparati (scatole,...

[Note: If you purchase this together with Sunken Treasury: Part 1 and 2 and Sunken Treasury: Part 3, 4 and 5 you will get The Catch-All Principle for free. Discount is automatically applied in the shopping cart. Also applies if you have purchased the entire Sunken Treasury in the past.

The Catch-All Principle allows you to covertly position a free selection at a predetermined position in the deck. It does this with the help of two key cards. The real strength and novelty of this principle is that at crucial moments the spectator is free to cut the deck, which makes it seem impossible that the selection will end up at a predetermined position - but it does.

Perhaps the best use of this principle...

It's Not Just A Rock: A rock becomes something more...

This takes "One Hotter Coin" and "Energy Hand" and puts them on steroids. Perfect for one-on-one demonstrations; you'll get a rock to heat up, cool down, throb around, and finally make an everlasting change - in both the rock and the participant. And you don't switch rocks for the change. This is all part of "ONE HOTTEST COIN" and you'll absolutely love these presentations.

As close to real billet-less name guess.

Imagine... In the course of a routine, during a close up performance, you get the spectator to focus on the name of someone close to them. They name a few random letters, including letters from the name. The name is not written down anywhere and exists only in their mind. And you instantly tell them the name they are thinking of.

This is exactly what you DO. There are no billets, tears or peeks. Simply the words you use and the illusion they create, are all you need to be able to accurately guess a name, most of the time. Like real mind reading,...

From the introduction:

[Eddie Joseph and George Armstrong both published this effect in 1949 under the same name: Premonition. The effects are identical and the methods are also pretty much identical except some minor details. Since George Armstrong describes his inspiration and when and where he developed it, while Eddie Joseph does not, I believe George Armstrong to be the inventor of this method. George Armstrong's inspiration was an effect from Greater Magic by Bill McCaffrey. But already Hofzinser has a similar routine Domination of Thought from his Card Conjuring.

A spectator names a card. He is asked to take a pack of cards from the table, remove them...

"Dee shared with me this concept and I must say that is really something smart and revolutionary. Being able to spark your own creativity and let the book fit your persona as performer and not in reverse. I did this years ago with my own book tests (in Spanish) but in here Dee is giving you all that work and much more. I recommend without a doubt this great release." - Pablo Amira (Mentalism Author)

[Note: Rohit Gupta contacted us in 2018 that he created and published the same method in 2014, predating this publication. We checked and he indeed published it at that time and should therefore be credited as the originator of this method. Rupesh Thakur maintains that he independently created the method, which for anybody who is familiar with Facebook would not be that hard.]

Car Camping (n)- the use of motor vehicles to get to a camp site is popular in many parts of the world. Unlike more traditional backpacking, car camping allows you to bring more equipment, and less need to focus on tents, while staying focused on enjoying the site, cook-outs, day hikes, and other outdoor activities. Popular with buskers and street performers as a cheap and efficient way to travel.

This is the guide of my spring tour 2015 street performing in new Orleans and Florida. In this ebook I'll share some fun pitches, friends, car camping techniques, and secrets that every busker should...
