Magic & Conjuring: page 297

Note that different moves and techniques have been called 'Gypsy Switch' over the decades. See for example a technique to switch bills using an envelope: Gypsy Switch. The technique described here by Jon Racherbaumer uses a handkerchief and is mostly used with coins, but the basic technique is flexible and utilitarian, which means any object that is conveniently flat and compact can be switched for a similar object, using a handkerchief. This includes objects such as coins, poker chips, billets, cards (business and torn playing card pieces), and folded currency.

In its antecedent form this move appeared...

You will need four cards with same face but different back. And two cards with same face and same back.

1st edition 2019, length 2min 22s.

A very easy to do routine in which a black card repeatedly flies from hand to pocket leaving spectators amazed again and again, despite the performer trying to simplify things. All can be examined.

Imagine deliberately counting five cards....four of which are red with only one black. Each and every card is called and shown - without a single false move four cards are tossed to the table and the black card is seen to have vanished. It is reproduced from the pocket. Now Imagine that you can do it again and again each time eliminating one red card to make it easier for the public to follow the...

Aus dem Vorwort:

An amazing induction from the Devin Knight hypnosis show designed for experienced hypnotists only. The performer invites certain people from the audience to come forward and sit in a row of chairs. To the utter amazement of the audience, the moment these people sit in the chairs they all immediately go into a hypnotic trance. A real show stopper with full directions on how to do this. This is as strong as you can get and will create much talk.

There is no pre-show work by the performer. Not recommended for beginners. This is for the stage hypnotist only and not for hypnotherapy. No stooges...

Explained are methods used by stage mentalists, club entertainers, psychic "office" workers and phony mediums to obtain the data and, if not captured by the performer himself, how to secretly send this information to the mentalist.

Poker Deals includes two self-working card effects, ideally suited to performing for spectators who are familiar with the rules of poker. Both effects utilize the StayCard Principle and were first published in OCD and Other Effects: The StayCard Principle.

Ten Card Poker Deal Variation

A procedural variation on Arthur Buckley's celebrated Ten Card Poker Deal. The magician and a spectator are each dealt five cards (either person can deal). The spectator decides whether to keep his cards, or whether the cards should be mixed by dealing again. No matter how many times the dealing is repeated before the cards are examined, the magician's hand wins....

Eine verblüffende, auf der Jastrow-Illusion beruhende Routine mit einem überraschenden Abschluss

Der Vorführende erzählt von einem Traum, in dem er an einem Wettfischen teilnahm und dabei den grössten Fisch fing.

Dies illustriert er mit einer Tafel, auf der der Fisch abgebildet ist. Unmittelbar vor der Preisverleihung tauchte plötzlich ein anderer Fischer auf, der einen genau gleich grossen Fisch gefangen hatte. Beide Fische waren 25 cm lang, was der Vorführende mittels eines Massstabes beweist.

Da der Vorführende unbedingt gewinnen wollte, streute er Salz über den Fisch seines Konkurrenten....

In this ebook, George Boston, old time magician, takes his readers behind the scenes of the magic shows. Associate and confidant of the great men of magic, he recalls the greatest "tricks" in his memory and in many cases tells "how it was done." The great names of magic - Thurston, Blackstone, Houdini, Kellar, Carter and Nicola - appear in these pages. The book is liberally illustrated with many photographs, and is written in the highly readable style that has made Robert Parrish's For Magicians Only and New Ways to Mystify such popular favorites.

A gradual transposition of three silver coins and three golden coins with an unexpected climax. Two routines.

Many methods have been devised for the classical effect wherein three coins pass invisibly through space to join three more. "Dubbelkross" and "Simulkross" are two further variations on the same theme; but, not only are the methods altered, the effects are, too. In fact, "Dubbelkross" represents the first attempt (as far as I know) at giving this transposition a definite climax. "Simulkross" does not pretend to give a startling climax, but is interesting because coins pass simultaneously...
