The Working Professional's Chop CupJim SistiFrom the introduction: This routine was honed through many years of adding segments and cutting others. I approached the idea of developing a Chop Cup routine with two priorities: first, I had no interest in doing a Chop Cup routine that made the spectator the foil, i.e.: they always guess incorrectly where the ball is. Thus, I've included much of my patter so that you can see how I've taken the "sting" out of the routine. Secondly, I refused to underestimate the intelligence of my audience and directly address their suspicions that there is more than one ball in play. In fact, in the spirit... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
The Working Professional's Ambitious CardJim SistiFrom the introduction: Though there is little that is "new" in the way of sleights here, this routine came from years of careful trial and error. The five phases represented here are the final result. I've found, after thousands of performances, that for the walk-around performer, this routine is just the right length to maintain spectator interest. Also, like any magic routine where the same effect is apparently repeated a number of times, each phase offers an apparently more impossible set of circumstances. It also ends with a natural applause cue. 7 pages, photo illustrated | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
Grandpa's Fruit KnivesJim SistiFrom the introduction: One of the things that I had to come to grips with when I became a full-time professional performer more than 20 years ago was that I needed to stop focusing on tricks that I liked and had to find ones that my spectators liked. I also decided to try and make my presentations less expositional ("Watch this coin…" kind of stuff) and more about personal expression – letting the audience get to know me perhaps a little bit better as a result of the magic. This manuscript is the result of my explorations into the Color-Changing Knives. I always loved the trick but... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

El Libro de los Test del LibroRachel ColombiniEn el efecto estándar (a veces se hace como una predicción) un espectador abre un libro por una página y se concentra en una palabra (o tres palabras o una línea). El mentalista, de pie a cierta distancia, es capaz de revelar la palabra que el espectador está pensando. Por supuesto, como ocurre con muchos clásicos, las variaciones abundan y Rachel ha tratado de plasmar esta variedad de métodos. En este ebook también se encuentran un par de "test de revista" que da un toque moderno a la forma habitual de realizar un test del libro. 20 grandes efectos a un precio más que razonable...... | $10 to wish list | |
Word SightDevin KnightBased on the original Al Mann Lexicon Phenomena, but greatly improved and so far advanced it fools those who know the original effect. Now you can make this up using your own computer for a fraction of buying it new already made up. Imagine revealing two FREELY thought-of words from across the room using an ungimmicked dictionary (you will have to paste two pages with word lists at the very front and two pages at the very end of the dictionary). Imagine doing this 15 feet away and never touching the dictionary during the presentation. Devin Knight's Word Sight allows you to reveal two words, sight unseen, that... | ★★★★★ $18 to wish list | |
Magic for MinistersTed VoorheesMagical Tricks Prepared for Teaching and Preaching Use From the introduction: The increasing problem of the church of today is to interest the young people in practical Christian service. The gospel message is as potent and powerful as ever, but the difficulty is to get young people to listen to it and to find preachers who can speak the language of the young people of today and make their message sufficiently attractive to challenge their attention. Modern pedagogy is finding that object lessons are most efficient in teaching the young mind. We remember and understand so much more... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
Three Easy PiecesMichael DanielsThree Easy Pieces is a collection of three self-working mentalism effects for close-up, especially one-to-one, presentation. The first effect, The Prisoner, is a variation on a trick and principle first published by Howard Adams. Two sets of five ESP symbols are shuffled and dealt into two face-down piles. The spectator successively eliminates pairs of symbols by spelling out a key phrase as cards are moved from the top to the bottom of either pile – switching piles whenever, and as often, as the spectator wishes. The last pair of symbols is found to be a match. The other four eliminated... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Super Delux Baby GagDevin KnightDevin Knight has reworked this old gag for today's audiences with new up to date topical gags and jokes not found in other baby gag routines. The routine also includes an optional kicker finish where an adult photo of the named person is removed from the envelope. This is not the old standard baby gag. This is a complete comedy routine in itself. The performer says he wants to try some quick psychic experiments. He begins with a comedy number prediction, proving he thought of the same number the participant did(???). Next, he asks anyone to name a famous person. As a gag he removes a baby... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list | |
Tri-SightDevin KnightThe performer calls attention to three face-down envelopes that are on a table in full view. He says these contain three predictions. The performer then has a playing card freely selected and signed while he looks away; there is no force of any kind. The selected card is then lost in the deck. The deck is given to the participant, who cuts the deck at random and deals three cards face down onto the table. The performer then shows three more envelopes. He places the three dealt cards into these three envelopes, without looking at them. Neither the performer nor the participant knows the identity... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
TractareR. ShaneIn Tractare (a Latin word that means "to handle") the exploration of unusual effects continues. Tractare features magic that is easy to do, based on a subtlety or simple move, but nothing that really requires sleights or finger flinging. Here you are able to beguile your audiences while making them smile, laugh, engage and become part of your show. From the preface: This being a magic book, it's only appropriate to begin with a trick question: What's a sleight? Careful; I told you it was a trick question. Forgetting dictionary definitions for the moment, as magicians we can rattle... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish list | |
Automata: Beyond Self-Working MagicR. ShaneFrom the preface: Self-working magic, if you won't hold the pun against me, is a tricky thing. Some will tell you, as I will, that there is no such thing as truly self-working magic. That is true. Every trick, regardless of method, requires a presentation, a character, a flow of action to become more than a trick, to become an effect. With the proper method, it may become an effect worth doing. But in the beginning, it's just a trick. And tricks, well, tricks can truly be self-working. But do we really need another book of self-working tricks? Hasn't all the good stuff been done... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish list | |

Gyrater: Floating and Spinning DeckDevin KnightThe performer has a card selected, no force, and returned to the deck. The deck is shuffled and 7 or 8 cards are dealt face down into an arc shape. The performer introduces his card case and says this is his pet, CASEY. Casey is well trained and can find selected cards. That is because he is a pointer. (Pun Intended.) The performer holds the card case above his hand and says, "Casey stay." The card case remains suspended in the air. The performer says, "Chase your tail." The deck revolves 360 degrees in the air. Performer says, "Play dead," the card case drops into his hand. The performer... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
