Chan Canasta's Book of OopsesChan CanastaThis book could fetch hundreds of dollars on ebay. It was very hard to find a copy. The book was shrouded in mystery. The few that had a copy didn't tell what it was. Many who didn't have one, wanted it badly. Now the wait is over... Martin Breese reprinted this one of a kind book. And the one of a kind Martin Breese let me reproduce it as ebook. Given the recent popularity of psychological methods in mentalism, the Book of Oopses was decades ahead of its time. Most effects use psychological quirks and biases to predict your entirely 'free' choice. It is eerily disturbing how easily we... | ★★★★★ $15 more than onetype to choose from PDF_facsimile softcover | |

The book received rave reviews from every magical magazine around the world and is now for the first time available as ebook. The opening chapter by Basil Horwitz details a method of linking a show with charity and using it to make a big income for the charity and a big income for the performer. During Basil's lifetime he was also involved in investment and finance. He used to perform for charity and demonstrated mental miracles that stunned his audience. When each member of the audience left the show Basil ended up with the name, address... | ★★★★★ $15 more than onetype to choose from softcover | |
The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz Volume 3Basil HorwitzThis ebook includes 20 amazing mentalism effects many of which are in the daily performing repertoires of many top mentalists. All too often those in the world of magic who develop great reputations fall somewhere between two stools; gifted thinkers who tend to disappoint in performance, or charismatic performers who are a triumph of form over substance: impressive, but not always original. Rarely do you come across someone who embodies the elements of true creative artistry, combining together the application of sound thinking with an understated style of presentation which can totally convince... | ★★★★★ $15 more than onetype to choose from hardcover | |
The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz Volume 4Basil HorwitzFrom the foreword by Basil Horwitz: Here are just a few of my thoughts and opinions on the use of mentalism and mental magic. Many magical friends have commented that they are concerned that I use playing cards in mentalism effects and a number of readers were disappointed that my last book contained mentalism material relying on the use of playing cards. I feel that it is important for me to explain that I have never ever had any problem with the use of playing cards in my performance of mentalism and it is clear to me that my audiences regard them as ordinary objects and are familiar with... | ★★★★★ $15 more than onetype to choose from hardcover | |
The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz Volume 5Basil HorwitzFrom the introduction by Andy Nyman: When I came across Basil's first book I couldn't believe it. Here was mentalism that fitted everything I had been searching for. It was clean, simple in plot and direct. In fact the more I read the more I was astonished and frustrated by the simplicity of Basil's thinking; 'Of course! Why didn't I think of that?' was a response I had about every five pages. I feel particularly indebted to Basil as I have partly built my reputation on one of his routines (if you think I'm telling you which one, think again). I recently had the pleasure of meeting Basil.... | $15 more than onetype to choose from hardcover | |
Aqua-Imp(Benny) Ben HarrisA brand new thing to do with a water bottle. Looks freaky and leaves a lasting impression. You could start a religion with this! 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... | ★★★★★ $15 more than onetype to choose from softcover | |
Close-up FrameworkLawrence FrameA small book that's big on entertainment. Clean, novel methods are used to produce effects that are clear and uncluttered. Taking as an example the first effect in the book, 'Spellbound Climax': you show a 2p coin and magically transform it into a 10p. After repeating this a couple of times you are surprised to find that the coin has changed into a button! Looking down, you discover that the coin is attached to your jacket where the button should be. To paraphrase Gordon Bruce's introduction, these aren't just tricks but lessons in presentation. With illustrations by Roy Johnson. Contents: | $15 to wish listsoftcover | |

Exit 51(Benny) Ben Harris
The remarkable effect shifts "the moment" in Paul Harris' amazing Vanishing Deck allowing for a card to be selected and signed. This selected card is shuffled back into the deck which is then held in full view. Upon command, the entire deck visually vanishes (that's right - it just blinks out of being) leaving only the chosen card as a poignant applause cue.

Amazing Unfaked Book TestVal Andrews
This is an unbelievable book test. Just imagine taking a modern book; perhaps a best seller in the bookshops right now. The book is genuine and is completely unfaked in any way. You can even ask a member of the audience or perhaps someone on a radio show that you will be talking to, to bring along a copy of the Da Vinci Code or whatever you choose to use. Or you could do this impromptu with any book as long as you have a couple of minutes private time with the book. You have the book examined and you... | $15 to wish listsoftcover | |

The Third EcstasyAl MannCard feats for the mentalist. This book has 14 effects that Al Mann judged sufficiently amazing enough, and plotted well enugh, as to be suitable for the mentalist to perform. Also incuded is a chapter of Olof Jonsson’s card mentalism stunts, 9 total, with full methedology. Jonsson was the Uri Geller of his day, so these additional 9 effects are also excellent fodder for the Mentalism show. The Contents:

The John Booth ReaderBen RobinsonIn this book about all of Dr. John Nicholls Booth's (1912 - 2009) books the reader is treated to find information on many topics of interest written between 1929 and 2009 - 80 years!

Floating Golden StickMike DanataA golden stick floats in the air without any means of support. A hoop is passed across and around the stick yet it still floats until finally at the command of the magician it travels away from him, at least six feet, and gently comes to rest upon a table. This effect can be performed in a large drawing room or whilst completely surrounded. It is a one man floating effect and no assistants are required. It should not be confused with the Finn Jon Floating Stick which uses an entirely different method. With this routine the stick actually floats away from the magician and if performed on a... | ★★★★★ $10 more than onetype to choose from softcover PDF & EPUB | |
Throwing the SwitchJohn MendozaThe purpose of the switch is to secretly exchange two packets of four cards. For example, to show four aces and then turn them face down and deal them onto the table for an assembly effect. The cards dealt onto the table, of course, are not the aces after the switch has been done.
