This and That(Benny) Ben Harris![]() You predict in advance which card will be named! Easy and fun. This and That was a big seller back in the mid 1980's when the "Oscar" and "Phil" craze were at their peaks. A spectator names any card (free choice) and you display that your deck has marked backs. They are all marked like "THIS" you say as you display cards in the deck as having the word "THIS" written on it's back. That's every card, but one. The selected card, on the other hand, has the word "THAT" written on it's back. Proving you know "this from that!" Super easy to make at home... | 2009 / 7 / 15 | $6.95 to wish list |
Elastic Thread Routines(Benny) Ben Harris![]() You see so much information published about "Elastic Thread Magic" today—you'd think it all "brand new". Alas, such is not the case. If you look hard, you'll see much of today's gold is really the silver of yesteryear. This manuscript contains original routines as well as important information that appeared in the original 1989 manuscript. Even the illustrations are the originals. Enjoy and impress...

Zoom(Benny) Ben Harris![]() "The construction of the card is ingenious..." - Michael Close (Magic Magazine)The famous and easy animated card that mysteriously moves away from your fingers—zooming across the table. Examinable, before, during and after. This is one of the most devious uses of Elastic Thread ever created. Prior to releasing the idea to critical acclaim in 1999, Ben had been sitting on this for over ten years, using it privately for the most important occasions only. It is the perfect effect for Street Magic performances as it can be performed under the most stringent conditions—ANYWHERE! As you and the... | 2009 / 7 / 15 | $9.95 to wish list |
Hoodwink(Benny) Ben Harris![]() "I highly recommend this to all of you who are interested in learning a devilishly clever approach to TORN & RESTORED CARD" - Danny Orleans (Genii Magazine)Hoodwink is based on the author's own effect, "Prime Hole Card" from 1983. It became a best-seller when re-released in 1999. Everyone was concentrating so hard on complex quarter-at-a-time restorations, that Hoodwink, with it's stunning flash restoration, seemed like a breath of fresh air. Hoodwink is not designed to replace, or to in any way compete with, the fine crop of "quarter by quarter" restorations that are making the rounds. Instead,... | 2009 / 7 / 15 | $10.95 to wish list |
Epic Flight(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Two coins are displayed. One is marked with a large cross with a permanent marker and a spectator confirms that the cross will not rub off the coin. In full view, the marked coin and the plain coin transpose through the back of a spectator’s own hand. Fully examinable, easy to do. The scientific principle makes it all work.

Hole in the Head(Benny) Ben Harris![]() "Something that's never been done before using a method that's never been used before - very cool." - Richard KaufmanHole in the Head created a furor when released to the general magic community. Originally worked up as a situational piece for a David Blaine TV special, the general market place would have nothing of something as esoteric. No, you had to be able to pull it out of a baggie and stumble through it for a street... | 2009 / 7 / 15 | $8.95 to wish list |
Cosmosis: The original floating match(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Invented in 1986, and marketed as Cosmosis by Ben Harris, this effect has become one of the most pirated close-up creations in magic's recent history. It truly has become a "classic." Even today, twenty-three years after its debut, unscrupulous individuals and manufacturers in many countries market it without any due respect for its heritage or compensation for its creator. From street stalls in India and across Asia, to the high streets of London and Paris, you'll find this effect... | 2009 / 7 / 15 | $12.95 to wish list |

Singapore Lecture Notes(Benny) Ben Harris![]() These notes have been re-written and re-photographed. The material is bright, crisp and hard-hitting. Mostly cards, including a wonderful multi-phase OIL AND WATER routine that's a joy to perform. PYRAMID CARDS is an easy and visual stunt revelation that was originally created by Jay Sankey. Here are a couple of cool variations. COMING TOGETHER AGAIN is a real killer item based on a Sadowitz piece from Almanac (see demo video below). The real highlight is the closer Ben used on both nights in Singapore.... | 2009 / 9 / 1 | $16.95 to wish list |
Oil and Water Delux(Benny) Ben Harris![]() The routine uses four black cards, and four red cards. Interlaced three times, they always separate. The moves used are smooth and create a lovely illusion. It does not look like sleight of hand, it really looks quite convincing! Heavily based in Marlo's work. 1st edition 1985; 1st digital edition 2009; 18 pages. | 2009 / 9 / 1 | $8.95 to wish list |
Fandango(Benny) Ben Harris![]() In effect, a signed card instantly appears between two Jokers. Classic "Sandwich Plot," but the method is what differentiates this. Fandango allows you to propel the selected card into position between the Jokers. It's instant and visual. Both the original gimmicked and non-gimmicked handlings are explained and illustrated. ... | 2009 / 10 / 1 | $9.95 to wish list |
Bands of Gold(Benny) Ben Harris![]() "Ben's Band Book is some of the best band and card magic ever. Some could be plucked out and used as single trick downloads. As with every Ben Harris ebook of wonder, it's beautifully laid out with lots of photos to help you along. Highly recommended. ***** 5/5 Stars" - Jamie DawsThe opening trick in this gorgeous ebook is just cool. A mini bet in which 2 bands are shown around the card case width ways. One will win the spectator $100 and the other one will win the magician $100. One is selected by the spectator without equivoque. Of course it's just a normal band. The other is removed and there... | 2009 / 11 / 7 | $9.95 to wish list |
PSI Stealth(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Here is a collection of professional ideas and approaches with the PSI Sharpie Pen. If you are in agreement with the author that the advertised effect of making the pen spin 360 degrees is possibly "a bit over the top" then you'll love the subtle approaches here. Harris teaches effects from his professional mentalism A-list. Learn to use the PSI Sharpie without appearing to use the pen! Also learn how to apparently transfer the PSI Sharpie powers to another sharpie! Use your... | 2009 / 11 / 7 | $8.95 to wish list |
Crossroads Revelations(Benny) Ben Harris![]() This detailed ebook looks at expanding the "CrossRoads revelations phase" in a variety of ways.

Alida: Little Winged One(Benny) Ben Harris![]() "A cool and animated levitation of a card or dollar bill... EASY TO MAKE!"My goodness, this little effect created a shit-storm when it was released in 2000! I don't think the attacks had been so brutal since Cosmosis (in the mid 1980s). Anyway, this simple and effective idea was loved by some (see, for example, Richard Kaufman in Genii Magazine), and hated by others (see, for example, Michael Close in Magic Magazine). Ben relishes dividing opinion, and Alida certainly did that. However, it was also a genuine stepping stone in the thought processes that would eventually lead to Enlightenment: The Ultimate Floating Card - which is way superior. So, controversial... | 2009 / 12 / 28 | $5.95 to wish list |
Silent Running(Benny) Ben Harris![]() "This is so much more than just an effect. It is a powerful subtlety that is a must have for your mentalist toolbox." - Banachek (USA) POSSIBLY THE MOST AMAZING "THINK OF A CARD" METHOD IN YEARS! So, what is Silent Running?

5th Corner(Benny) Ben Harris![]() So what is the 5th Corner? It's a splash of ideas and techniques with a single playing card and it's ripped corners. You are both "one ahead" and "two behind" at the SAME TIME. This charming but annoying attribute is what probably led to the stony silence heard by the author in 1987. Can YOU make head-way with this strange and bizarre single-card oddity? Why... | 2010 / 3 / 24 | $6.95 to wish list |

Ultimate Floating Deck 2.0(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Now, the structure is linear and smooth--from the selection to the levitation. Clean, smooth, direct. A card is selected and returned to the deck. It is given a quick all-around-square-up, and then placed on the palm. On command, the top half of the deck floats. First a... | 2010 / 5 / 8 | $15.00 to wish list |
Slink(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Slink is a sleight of hand Linking Finger Ring Routine that is easily constructed by modifying any Russian Wedding Band. You can find these at your local markets or trinket store. This type of ring has three bands, linked together. You need to purchase one of them. It is suggested you start with the cheapest unit you can find, and then once familiar with the handling, you can purchase a heavier set in silver or gold. In effect, you display two silver rings. These are held at the fingertips, and then with... | 2010 / 5 / 25 | $6.95 to wish list |
Run Silent Run Deep(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Run Silent, Run Deep is the highly anticipated sequel to the controversial book, Silent Running (which created such a storm of interest in early 2010). This clever approach to the "Think of a Card" plot gained immediate acceptance with mentalists around the world (being translated into Japanese, Spanish and German editions), yet... | 2010 / 6 / 11 | $49.95 to wish list |
Solid Gold Easy Action(Benny) Ben Harris![]() In effect, a small envelope is shown, signed on BOTH sides by a spectator, and then left IN FULL VIEW upon the table. A card is now FREELY selected from the deck, and also signed. The spectator pushes his card squarely into the deck and then counts the cards. Mysteriously, his card has vanished. There are now just 51 cards in the deck. The envelope, which has been in FULL VIEW the... | 2010 / 8 / 9 | $8.95 to wish list |
Starman(Benny) Ben Harris![]() This effect DOES NOT require the use of Silent Running (although it can be enhanced with it). So, you do not need SR, or RSRD. This is completely self-contained. The clever deck does ALL the work for you. It's a lovely effect where your spectator predicts an amazing moment in human history. That is, the moment of FIRST CONTACT with alien beings. Your audience member will predict the year, the month and the... | 2010 / 8 / 9 | $10.00 to wish list |
Through the Universe - Backwards(Benny) Ben Harris![]() "The presentation is rich in content, and the effect is as clear and clean as can be. This is one of the best cc deck routines I have seen." - Peter Duffie "Brilliant. Beautiful. Straight into my set." - Kyle MacNeill EFFECT: The performer reaches into his pocket and removes an envelope. From within he removes a single BLUE-BACKED card. (The deck in use has RED BACKS.) The blue-backed card is placed to one side. It's identity is unknown at this point. The performer explains... “This single card, odd in its appearance, has a purely... | 2010 / 10 / 4 | $10.00 to wish list |

Digital Delirium(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Requires intermediate card skills. Not for beginners. This is an “underground handling” for Click Click Click—a routine that originally appeared in Ben's 1989 Lecture Notes and in the book, Mad Fax & Other Mysteries (1990). It, in turn, was the outgrowth of Foto, from Out Of His Mind (1988). The never before published handling—revealed here—adds to the over-all impact by eliminating any need to ”return to the deck” prior to the magical printing of the third card. This was a procedural requirement in the previous... | 2010 / 11 / 1 | $10.00 to wish list |

PSI-Poker(Benny) Ben Harris![]() This new effect is totally self-working, requiring no skill or gaffs. (Unless you are calling 'peeking the bottom card' a move.) The secret is ancient, but it’s never been used in this manner before. Magic’s leading historians and card experts have confirmed this claim. (To be precise, it is a new property of an old principle. Very clever indeed.) So, what is PSI-POKER? The effect is a multiple prediction of how a game of “Texas Hold ‘em” will play out from a shuffled deck. You hand a prediction... | 2011 / 1 / 19 | $20.00 to wish list |
Silent Running 3(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Part One of this finale jumps in at the deep end with some stunning and clever contributions. Novel ideas including making an “X” appear on the back of any “thought-of card” (a card generated by having the spectator create a card in his head via the SR process) or applying the SR principle to gospel magic or Ten... | 2011 / 5 / 3 | $27.50 to wish list |
Aqua-Imp(Benny) Ben Harris![]() IONIZE THE WATER IN A DRINKING BOTTLE, MAKING IT ALMOST LIGHTER THAN AIR! Aqua-imp is one powerful piece of “incidental” magic. It appears almost impromptu. This illusion of spontaneity actually enhances the mystery—for it is at this magical (and supposedly offhanded moment) you give your spectators a thought-provoking, gentle, and fun glimpse at an un-imagined world of possibility. Here’s what Aqua-imp looks like: You join friends or clients at a... | 2011 / 6 / 23 | $15.00 to wish list |
Ionic Force(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Ionic is a ranging force, applied with the fingers, in order to arrive at an apparently random (or unknown number). Such forces—performed on the fingers—have been used for decades. Karrel Fox and Max Maven are both famous for their applications of the approach. For the record, Ray Hyman is credited with FIRST applying the idea to the use of the fingers. (See The Linking Ring, October, 1953). Ray’s application was for a book test called “It’s In The Book.” Here’s how it usually works: Imagine asking a spectator to hold... | 2011 / 6 / 29 | $15.00 to wish list |
Madman's Card to Pocket(Benny) Ben Harris![]() The Madman’s Card To Pocket was designed in order to produce a “smack in the face” moment for Ben's day-to-day performances and media interviews. It’s something direct, to the point and utterly impossible in appearance. The effect is all over in a matter of seconds, but this directness—which seems to eliminate the possibility that you could have cheated or manipulated the moment in any way—is what makes this so powerful. EFFECT: A card is selected (free choice), signed and returned to the deck. The deck is IMMEDIATELY handed to a spectator—the... | 2011 / 6 / 29 | $10.00 to wish list |

Dimensional Relativity(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Only once in a while do you create a new plot. Folks have always said - and will probably continue to say - "it's all been done before." Of course, that's usually the case, but not every time. Dimensional Relativity was released in 1981 as printed booklet. The original concept of "turning a signed card inside out" (created on the nineteenth day of August, 1979 and shared with Woody Meltcher) became fashionable enough to see the book through two printings in three months. The reviews were excellent and lots of folk took notice. ... | 2012 / 3 / 3 | $15.00 to wish list |
Precog(Benny) Ben Harris![]() A small packet of about a dozen cards is introduced. These are "Pre-Cog Test Cards" that the performer had acquired at a recent "Minds in Progress" seminar.

Knee Kracker(Benny) Ben Harris![]() This is a reputation-maker. The magic just seems to come out of the blue as you pick up your drink bottle, cap it, and then crack it across your knee where it vanishes completely! Three applications are taught. A formal handling with Topit, a tabled handling and a cheeky walk-around handling for parties when you are hanging with friends. For these latter two approaches, you need no Topit, just the bottle. You can even make a partly filled bottle vanish or pass through a table-top! 1st edition 2013, 14 pages. | 2013 / 7 / 4 | $8.95 to wish list |
Messing with NCR Paper(Benny) Ben Harris![]() NCR paper is the carbonless paper used to make up receipt and invoice books. It allows impressions to be made on several sheets without the use of carbon paper. And, just like the chemically reactive magic that people have created with ATM paper and Frixion pens, NCR paper also has potential for magical use. The author established it's use back in 1989 with an excited fax to Jeff Busby. (This document is included from the Harris archives.) Ben then teaches two routines with the special paper. The first involves... | 2013 / 7 / 4 | $8.95 to wish list |
