One of the BIG hits of Devin Knight's recent lecture tour. An effect that left many magicians with their mouths open as they witness the incredible vanish of four aces ONE BY ONE.

The effect is done with just the four aces. They are not gimmicked in any way. The rest of the deck is set aside. Only the four aces and your two hands are used. Show four aces front and back and freely count them. A little squeeze and one ace vanishes, leaving three cards that are dealt out. Show three aces, square them and give the packet a squeeze. Now there are just two aces left in your hands. The last two...

This ebook contains three effects from Devin Knight that are about as close to real mindreading as you can get.

TAROT FOLD TOLD

An ungimmicked Tarot Deck is shown and given to anyone to shuffle. Four people are invited to come forward. They remove the top five cards from the shuffled Tarot Deck and arrange them face up on a table in any order. They do this while you are across the room and CAN NOT SEE THE CARDS. Each person is asked to just think of one of the cards. They say nothing and write nothing down. Everyone could be thinking of the same card or each person could be thinking of...

Young magician John Gelasi presents three new takes on a classic plot in packet card magic: the brainwave effect. Each of these new effects are novel, fun approaches to the plot, with varied methods and handlings, so you're sure to find one that you'll love performing. Better yet, each effect ends completely clean, with all of the cards being totally examinable at the conclusion. Resets are fast, making these the perfect effects to have in your wallet for that spur of the moment performance.

The eBook contains these three new routines:

The Royal Wave: Impromptu "B’wave" at its best....

This is a reputation maker routine. It uses a regular deck of cards and it is totally impromptu. You show the four Kings and four black cards. The Kings are placed one by one among the black cards. They disappear and reappear in one packet. Then the Kings are paired up with the four black cards. The Kings disappear and you are left with eight black cards. Finally, you produce the Kings one by one using different stunning methods. Over a dozen effects!

Nick Trost was a master at creating amazing tricks and routines based on subtleties rather than difficult sleight of hand.

Most of these tricks are impromptu and they all use a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• SIGNIFICATOR CARDS: A freely selected card is lost in the deck and revealed by four cards picked by a spectator.
• THE RESTLESS COURT CARDS: The twelve court cards are used. You place them in three packets and then switch their positions. They follow each other in their respective piles.
• AN EQUALIZER REVEALMENT: Two cards are freely selected and replaced. The deck is shuffled face up and...

An easy approach to the perfect Magic Square.

This is a completely new, and easier method for compiling a 4x4 (16 cell) Magic square that totals to any number called by the audience in 52 different ways.

The original method from which this has evolved was first published in 1993. You can master this with just a few trials in less than an hour, and use it for a lifetime - with nothing to buy, nothing to replace!

With most magic square effects the method has two components. One component is memorization, the other calculation. For example, you memorize one particular magic square and...

We truly believe this is the best hypnosis training in the industry. First produced in 1998 it is the original course that started off the plethora of hypnosis training that is prevalent nowadays and it is still the best information available.

Mark Lewis is a very experienced professional stage hypnotist who has performed his stunning show all over the world in Germany, Holland, UK, Ireland, Mexico, Canada and the United States. His information is the best in the business.

The course was first produced in VHS and audiocassette tapes, then later on DVD and CD format. And now for the first...

[Please note that this is a four part course. If your intention is to become a stage hypnotist we strongly discourage you from only getting one or two parts. You will not get the full breadth and depth of information.]

This fourth part, a download DVD, shows again an entire hypnotism show (a different one than the one shown in Part 3) which takes place in a high school. There is a running commentary and interview in the background which instructs the viewer while the show is ongoing. This commentary is very valuable information which will assist the aspiring hypnosis student to gain profiency very quickly. We do not advise watching this video unless part three is viewed first to accustom the viewer to the show sequence. Otherwise it will be hard to follow the show and the commentary at the same time....

[Please note that this is a four part course. If your intention is to become a stage hypnotist we strongly discourage you from only getting one or two parts. You will not get the full breadth and depth of information.]

This third part, a download DVD, shows an entire hypnotism show from begin to end. It is an outdoor fair show that starts quite slow - almost boring. There is lots of distracting noise. Still Mark Lewis spins his hypnotic web and leads the audience to a hypnotic experience many have never seen before.

This video should be watched for entertainment only since there is no instruction of any kind depicted on it. The purpose of this recording is to amplify the information on the Audio recording and on Part 2. Another very important purpose, however, is for the viewer to understand the sequence...

[Please note that this is a four part course. If your intention is to become a stage hypnotist we strongly discourage you from only getting one or two parts. You will not get the full breadth and depth of information.]

This second part, a download DVD, is a very thorough overview of waking suggestion tests which are performed at the beginning of the show. These all occur before the actual hypnotic induction and are excellent entertainment in themselves even though nobody is actually hypnotised just yet. These tests also have the valuable purpose of conditioning people to react to suggestions and help in selecting the best possible subjects.

This recording is a mix of a taped seminar and recordings of actual hypnotism shows performed by Mark Lewis....

[Please note that this is a four part course. If your intention is to become a stage hypnotist we strongly discourage you from only getting one or two parts. You will not get the full breadth and depth of information.]

This first part is a 90 minute audio lesson where Mark Lewis outlines the structure and methods of a stage hypnotism show. You could almost learn a hypnosis show from this recording alone. It covers how to start, how to practice hypnosis, how to rehearse, how to select the best subjects, waking suggestion tests, how to induce hypnosis and a large selection of routines you can use....

Changing Collectors
Three spectators choose three cards. You lose the selections in the deck. You produce the four Kings from your pocket. The four Kings turn face down magically and after this they change into the four Aces and the three selections appear between the Aces.

Cheese In My Pocket
This is a reverse collectors effect. You put three selections between the four Queens. Then you cut the seven card packet in the middle of the deck. The three selections disappear from between the Queens and you produce them from your pocket.

1st edition 2011; 4 pages.

A modern look into some amazing concepts of mentalism. You'll find three effects designed and tested in multiple venues from the streets of New York to the stages of Exxon Mobil.

Order 66 - an in pocket prediction system. The performer writes down a three digit number. The person who accurately guesses this number stands. That same spectator selects a random drink, a random restaurant from a pack of dozens of business cards from around the globe, and then the audience creates a random phone number. The mentalist points to his phone that's been in plain sight the whole time. Then a video prediction...

This ebook contains six more mentalism routines most of it completely impromptu. All the routines are audience tested and come from Martin's repertoire.

Sweet: Several spectators (8-10) attempt to guess how many candies are in a jar. Only one will guess the exact amount correctly and an envelope on stage contains a prediction matching that number as well as a description of that spectator. As an added treat, all the spectators' guesses are tallied and when divided by the number of spectators it equals the exact number of candies in the jar.

The Time Has Come...: One of Martin's favorite...

"ingenious ... innovative ... Probably the best thing about Michael Daniels' Speed Dating eBook is the completeness. If you've thought about learning this feat, you can learn everything you need to know from this book." - Grey Matters: Blog (Scott Cram)

A spectator raises a number of fingers behind their back. You instantly know what that number is, without reflections, assistants, or gimmicks.
