Magic & Conjuring: page 216

I am very pleased with this release; although, I was reluctant to release it at first. This has been one of my prized secrets for the last few years. As far as I know, this effect is original with me. The method is new. I have never put this in print before or taught it in lectures. The secret is revealed here for the first time.

The effect is straight to the point and is 100% impromptu. Unlike some mental effects, there is nothing confusing to the spectator. It is easily understood by spectators of any intelligence or age. It is perfect for those times you need to do something and don't have...

EFFECT:

The mystery worker offers to share an experience in harmonious action with a E.S.P. testing symbol deck. The participant and the performer each are given ten Zener symbols cards. Three times randomly chosen Zener cards match, culminating in a unison of word and deed.

DETAILS:

This routine is created for "special" Zener cards, but can be performed with genuine Zener/Rhine symbol decks, with a slight compromise. This uses only the symbols from a single pack and requires nothing extra. This is a genuine (feeling) demonstration of synchronicity. You will love it. Sean promises. ...

Borrow a ring and a set of keys and visually link the ring onto the keyring with a tap. Impromptu and clean, nothing to find. The ring is seen to go right through the keyring with only a tap, highly visual and undeniable, then you let go of the ring and let it hang from the keyring clearly and unmistakably. After they confirm that that is their ring hanging from the keyring, you melt the ring back off the keyring where you tapped it, and hand everything back, completely clean.

1st edition 2016, length 7 minutes.

Automatic Aces
You shuffle a deck and then give it a spectator, who now carries out a series of random actions that result in him locating all four Aces.

Rideckulous
Your invisible helpers become visible and then find a chosen card along with all the other cards of the same colour!

Natterjacks
You remove the four Jacks. A Card is selected and returned to the deck. The deck is cut into two halves - one remains on the table. The four Jacks are placed face up on the table half and cut into the middle. One by one the Jacks leave the tabled half and appear face up in the half in your hands....

The Jap Box or "Japanese Handkerchief Box" is a simple rectangular box without a lid and a removable bottom. The bottom has a hole in the center to facility its removal from the rest of the box. The basic effect is that the box is shown empty by showing it from all sides as well as removing the bottom. Then the bottom is replaced and silks appear in the box.

Producing silks is just the very beginning of possibilities with this prop. This ebook describes many other things that can be done with the basic version of the Jap Box. It is unclear where this trick originated. It is believed that...

A script and performance video showing how the Professors Nightmare and Fiber Optics can make a fun and mystifying routine.

One of the more difficult tasks facing magicians is coming up with scripts - of any sort. But it's even harder for tricks that have no preset routine - such as the Professors Nightmare and Fiber Optics. How do you explain to an audience in a reasonable manner how and why this fabulous visual magic is happening?

Well, the author of How To Write A Script shows you how he used his methodology to write a script that successfully blends the Professors Nightmare with the moves from Fiber Optics...

Included is a video of a cool switch.

Lubor Fiedler's Gozinta Boxes is my all time favorite illusion. It has been so ever since I first saw it performed decades ago. I love the simplicity, clarity, and impossibility of the effect. Two boxes. One clearly larger than the other, because one fits into the other. But wait - now the larger one is smaller and the smaller one is larger. Every child can understand the impossibility of this. It transcends any language or cultural barrier. Since no explanation is necessary the magic first happens on a very deep visceral level. But then when the mind kicks in and tries to find an explanation...

Every so often a piece of mentalism comes along that is more like a piece of Comedy Theater rather than "just a trick". David Devlin's Case File is a piece of Comedic Mental Theater. It is a murder mystery showpiece. It has three predictions, audience participation, a comedic presentation, and three different methods working together to create a part of your show that will be totally unforgettable!

Here is the routine:

A spectator is brought up on stage, and is given a large folder labeled, "Case File". She is told not to open it, and to keep it safe. The performer now brings up another...

Learn to read palms today!

Give me 80 minutes and I'll show you how to give amazing readings with people's palms.

[This video is a recorded PowerPoint presentation.]

Imagine holding a person by the palm completely spellbound, hanging onto your every word, and finally being completely shocked at the incredible accuracy of a reading that you gave them. Yes you. It can be a lot easier...

A highly visual routine. Based on the theme of Hollywood stars. Very entertaining and fun routine. Completely self working. No sleights. No pre show. No stooges. Nothing to reset.

A couple of participants are asked to play the roles of 'movie director' and 'movie producer'. Using the various genres of movies like 'action', 'romance', 'comedy' etc, they have to shortlist a 'star cast'. And based on this shortlisted star cast, a probable 'lead star' is decided on. All this happens when the performer's back is turned or he can even be blind...

Two lost secrets of Jason Michaels finally revealed. This is the only PDF to the best of our knowledge ever written on the subject. In this release you will learn Jason Michaels' secrets for creating the illusion of seeing in the dark. Jason made quite a reputation for himself doing these stunts back in the 80s revealed for the first time.

One of these secrets even fooled Al Mann. The effect is that the psychic or mentalist has a book examined to make sure all the pages are different. It can be a borrowed book. The performer rubs a cream under his eyes, claiming this allows him to see in the dark....

Psychic Self is a three-phase card routine wherein you NEVER touch the deck. The deck is borrowed and shuffled multiple times. Yet, the routine is entirely self-working and will work the majority of the time. No risk; no reward. Yes, there is a chance of one of the phases not working; and even lower chance that none of the routine will work. There is a simple scripting for why one or all the phases did not work. The majority of time, you will have a three-phase miracle routine.

The scripting of the routine is what really sells each individual effect. The methods are essentially the effect...
