Magic & Conjuring: page 108

"This is the best compilation of Color Changes to date. I know this because I've been collecting color changes for the last ten years myself. I applaud his research and thoroughness. It is well organized and coherent." - Jon Racherbaumer

"Crispin Sartwell has produced a well-written treatment of color changes that is the first of its kind. An important contribution to the art of magic and a must-have resource for every card handler." - Jerry Cestkowski (The Flourishman)

"As a professional magician for 36 years, I have been constantly told that my simply done but highly effective color change done at the outset of the one stage card...

"A nice combination of deceptive principles. The psychology and linguistic approaches help form a solid routine that I would use!" - Pablo Amira

Routine 1:

Three participants each choose a colored paper, ESP design card, and one of three numbered chairs. (No Forces). Each person then opens their colored paper to find that their freely chosen ESP design is on their freely chosen paper! It is then revealed that each chair...

This ebook contains hard hitting mentalism for the stage and parlor. A dozen fully routined and thought out effects that have been tested and perfected in real world performances. All the psychology and nuances have been included to provide full impact.

Part 1: “Visions”

• The Art Show: 5 Masterpieces line the stage. One is selected by participant. The performer’s prediction is shown to match! A colorful and classy addition to any show!
• Square Gift: Freely chosen spectator comes to stage thinking of a 2 digit number. Their square gift is presented. They then announce their number....

A routine by Peter Warlock - performed by Aldo Colombini. This is a reputation maker. A stunning routine for close-up or stage, using a regular deck (even jumbo size). In three phases; one stronger than the other.

A packet of cards is removed and a spectator moves a certain number of cards from top to bottom. You are NOT looking during this. You take back the packet, spread it and a card is face up indicating the amount of cards moved by the spectator. The spectator repeats the same action (maybe selecting a different number of cards) and you place the packet in HIS pocket. Remove one card from his pocket...

The great Card Magic of Nick Trost. Nick was a master in creating amazing tricks and routines based on subtleties rather than difficult sleight of hand. Due to the amazing success of the three DVD set the Colombini's produced and the numerous requests, here’s another one, the fourth in the series. This is a humble tribute to a very creative magician. Most of these tricks are impromptu and they all use a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• THE GATHERING OF THE COURT CARDS: A great nine-card assembly, with Jacks, Queens and Kings.
• THE SLIPPERY ACES: The Aces are sandwiched between the two red Jacks....

Trinities is a two-phase mind-reading routine. In the first phase, the mentalist correctly divines attributes (colour, suit, value) of playing cards which the spectator has shuffled, dealt and covered with his hands while the mentalist has turned away. In the second phase, which can be performed alone, the spectator forms a page number by combining the values of freely selected cards from the deck. Without the mentalist seeing, the spectator then opens up and freely examines an eBook (standard PDF) from a collection of classic literary works stored on a computer, eBook reader or smartphone....

This is the very first publication Stephen Tucker ever released. For some this will be a good thing for others not. I personally always enjoy to see the early creations of a now famous magician.

Routines:

• Pegasus
• Small Change
• Music To My Ears'
• The Polaroid Wallet
• The Sound Barrier
• The Thimble Thumble Vanish
• Sealed Future
• S.H.C.
• Faster Than The Eye Can See

1st edition 1978; original 18 pages; PDF 26 pages.

Young magician John Gelasi presents another experiment in a classic plot: “B’wave”.

This new two-packet “B’wave” effect called Making Waves combines all of the best elements of countless variations into one stunning packet trick. Best yet, you end completely clean, and all the cards can be examined immediately at the conclusion of the trick!

Here’s the basic effect:

Two packets of cards are used: one blue, and one red. The audience is asked to imagine that the red cards are the four aces, and that the blue cards are the four Queens. An ace is touched (free choice), say...

Ten more card tricks using regular cards.

Contents:

• INDICATOR SUIT (Max Maven) A freely selected card is found using the values of three other cards.
• TRIPLE CLIMAX CLOCK TRICK (Nick Trost) Three unique climaxes in an amazing routine.
• ITALIAN OPENER (Aldo Colombini) A freely selected card is the only blue-backed card in the deck and then it changes into another selected card.
• CHEAT FEAT (Karl Fulves) Two selected cards are replaced. They are the only cards of the opposite color in two packets of cards.
• THE CHOSEN FEW (Peter Duffie) A card randomly created by a spectator matches a card selected by another spectator....

Ten stunning rope routines. ALL ROUTINES ARE PERFORMED WITH REGULAR ROPES and they are:

• ROPE-EN-KNOT (U. F. Grant): A spectator ties knots on a rope. You drop the rope in a paper bag leaving the end protruding. The spectator pulls on the rope and the knots are gone.
• ROPE THROUGH (Marconick): A piece of rope mysteriously penetrates your neck.
• SILK ON ROPE (Hans G. Witt): You show a length of rope and tie a knot on it. Suddenly a silk appears in the knot.
• LOOPED (Aldo Colombini): You tie several loops on a piece of rope. You then pull one of the loops removing it, while all the others disappear. ...

Kyle MacNeill and John Gelasi are two innovative and young creators, that live, breathe and sleep magic. With over 15 Ebooks between them, they decided to create an Ebook that is jam-packed with old tricks, new tricks, sleights, and theory. And everything went to plan...

2 Can Play at This Game contains a total of 16 (predominantly card) effects - (10 old, 6 new), 5 sleights (4 old, 1 new) and a previously published essay. Think of it as a best-of (hopefully!) with seasoned with some new effects. Hopefully a blend you will dig!

From the Intro:

Staple Gun Roulette

Four staple guns are shown to be laid on a table in front of the audience, everyone watching is asked to think of a number from 1-4. A random member of the audience is then asked to come onto the stage and the guns are numbered 1-4 by the participant. The participant is then told to imagine that the number they chose is the loaded gun and is to leave the gun with that number on the table at all times. He/she picks up one of the other guns and holds it to the mentalists eye and is told to pull the trigger...Click the gun is safe. The participant is then asked to repeat...

Club 71 magazine ran from 1970 to 2007, with a break from 1978 to 1984, and was produced by Geoff Maltby the owner of Repro Magic (UK). [The name 'Repro' comes from the fact that Maltby started out selling REPROductions of magic posters, at a time when posters were hard to come by and very expensive.] For most of the time Walt Lees was the editor. In its later years it changed its name to The Magician. The total run consists of 193 issues, almost 14,000 pages, plus a parody of Abracadabra magazine.

Due to its irregular publishing schedule, name change, format change and five year publication pause early in its existence, it was impossible to find someone with a full run. This digital version was assembled from three different partial collections. This also means...

This is a biting parody of the famous weekly UK magazine Abracadabra. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1988. To understand all the fun they are poking at you will have to have read some of the Abra issues.
