Magic & Mentalism: page 105

The magician explains that he was once robbed. The thief took his ring, his watch and the money from his wallet. All these items are put into an envelope. Immediately after the magician tears up the envelope. All the items have vanished and returned to their original place. The ring is on the ring finger, the watch is on the wrist and the money is back in the wallet.

In this video you get a detailed explanation of how this routine works. As is typical with Tommy Wonder, he always teaches lessons which apply to many other effects. For example, he spends some time talking about where to attach...

Ten routines with coins and banknotes (no fake props). Coin magic is usually very difficult to do, and requires sleight of hand and manipulation. In this download DVD, you will find ten very strong routines requiring basically no sleights at all.

The routines are:

• HALF DIVINATION (Didier Dupré): You predict which coin is selected and if the coin is heads or tails up.
• MONEY MAKES MONEY (Clayton Rosencrance): You display a dollar bill, fold it, snap your fingers and a coin materializes from the bill.
• PIN-ATRATION (Anonymous): You wrap a piece of paper around a coin and stab a pin through...

The incredible card magic of Didier Dupré. Routines created by Didier himself and performed by Aldo Colombini. Didier made a huge impact in Europe with his card magic and in the US. He shares here ten terrific routines.

Contents:

• MINI-TURBULENCE: Three freely selected cards placed between the four Aces disappear and re-appear between the four face-up Queens.
• COME TOGETHER 2: Two packets: Four Queens and four Kings. One packet changes into four Ten of Spades, and the other changes into a Royal Flush.
• CANNIBAL CARDS: The classic theme, where selected cards (missionaries) are placed...

A closing routine with dozens of effects and with a climax that floors audiences. Productions of court cards, four Aces, change of color of the backs of the cards, one selected card appears marked with a big X on its back and, at the end, all the other cards are the same! You won’t believe the amount of effects and it uses just regular cards!

Borrow a finger ring and magically thread it onto a shoelace while both ends are held by two spectators. Just as magical as you have put the ring on the shoelace you take it off.

This effect is also taught on Michael Close Signature Effects.

This is Michael Close's version of the famous 'card warp' theme where a card turns inside out while being pushed through a bill.

This effect is also taught on Michael Close Signature Effects.

You take out a lighter to light up a cigarette or candle. But the lighter doesn't work. You try several times but it simply does not burn. In an instant you change the lighter to a box of matches, take out a match and light your cigarette or candle.

Using this effect Tommy Wonder also teaches the pros and cons of approaching potential spectators with the question: "Do you want to see some magic?" Of course, he offers a much better alternative.

Here's another collection of easy card routines. Card routines performed with regular cards. Using just a deck of cards, you can perform very strong, baffling, visual magic.

CONTENTS:

"extremely visual and psychological magic at its best!" - Titanas (Creator of Titan's Finger)

"So visual. This ones in the gig bag for sure! I love the fact that the gum changes in the spectator's hands. It's unbelievably good methodology to achieve that!!" - Rob Nekros (Professional Magician)

Exchange is a workable piece of visual and psychological magic that takes place in a spectator's hands and your own, making it personal and applicable to perform to a large group.

The effect is simple; you take out a pack of fruit gum. You take out a stick and have a spectator smell it, "smells...

This is probably Eddie Joseph's most proud creation.

THE EFFECT: Anyone in the audience is asked to call out the name of any card. Person naming the card is asked to advance, pick up the pack which lies on the table within its case, and deal cards face up, one at a time until he comes to his card. Assistant deals every card in the pack but fails to find the one he named. He is now told to count the cards in pack and he finds only 51. ONE CARD IS MISSING AND THE MISSING CARD IS THE ONE JUST NAMED ALOUD. The Magician reaches into his pocket and without the slightest DELAY brings out the very...

In this ebook a detailed explanation of Nate Leipzig's original method of performing the Card Stab will be found.

From the foreword:

The performer borrows a pack of cards, which, if desired, may be thoroughly shuffled either by the lender or by another spectator. Without arranging the cards in any special order, and without "sighting" any of them, the magician deals four packets, of five cards each, face down on the table. The entire procedure is exactly as if a game of poker or nap were about to be played.

Any member of the audience selects one of the four hands. No force, direct or indirect, is employed. The three packets not chosen are returned to the pack. The person holding the selected hand is requested to choose...
