"Beutifully Devious" - James Brown

"The cleanest and most natural impromptu cap in bottle that I've seen in years, I'll be using this for sure!" - Richard Bellars

"The combination of a devious principle and clever psychology make this effect a real winner! Probably the best impromptu cap in bottle routine I've seen!" - Cameron Francis

Imagine being able to take an empty beer bottle from a random table in a bar or nightclub, then taking any bottle cap, perhaps from behind the bar or from another drink… Have the spectator...

His new outfit will consist of a sports coat, shirt, necktie, pants, socks, shoes, and even a pair of boxer shorts. He is told that when he gets to the checkout-counter, he discovers he does not have enough money with him and has to return something to the shelf. The participant...

"I really like clever principles and if you're also a fan, you'll like this eBook a lot" – Michael Kociolek

The first effect, Predetermination, is a completely self-working impromptu effect in which the mentalist correctly predicts the outcome of a card-mixing procedure, even though the spectator freely chooses the procedural steps after the prediction is made.

The second effect, Seven Shooter, is a packet trick with a Russian Roulette plot. The seven firing chambers of a...

An entertaining routine on the Cannibal Card theme. Several effects tied together to create the perfect 'cannibal card' routine ever. The cannibals appear, change 'clothes', capture victims, eat victims, eat each other and reappear!

Requires a double-backed card.

You show five cards completely blank on both sides. A card is selected from a regular deck (say the QH). The same card appears on the face of every blank card. Then all the cards are blank again including the spectator’s selection; this card now re-appears face up in the middle of the deck!

Requires four cards blank on both sides, a blank-backed card and a blank-faced card.

This famous Canadian performer and author was guest of honor at the 1973 Collector's Weekend. To honor him, this booklet of his early, unpublished material was made into a 36 page booklet. Besides fifteen Lorraine tricks and a section of miscellaneous gags, the booklet contains photos and a reproduction of the Berlinski poster made special for the occasion.

Sid is known for his humorous approach to magic, and the great number of users of his stuff show, his strong influence on magic.

1st edition 1973, 36 pages; 1st digital edition 2012, 38 pages.

Bud Dietrich was a full time pro since school days. Later in his life he has been almost exclusively a trade show magician, and had the added honor of being Mr. Hoyle, front magician for Hoyle cards.

When a man like that sets down his ideas on trade shows, backed by a good solid magic thinker like Dick Jarrow, we can expect a handbook that should rank easily with How to Sell and New Field. Trade shows are where the money is. Let Dietrich tell you how to get it!

Linking Ring review by John Braun:

Facciamo una "previsione"...questo libro diventerà uno dei più ricercati dai prestigiatori . Perchè ? Molto semplice : contiene giochi di GRANDE EFFETTO ottenuti con metodi semplici e originali.

Un vero capolavoro. Il solo gioco del foglio di giornale tenuto aperto da due spettatori mentre il prestigiatore se ne sta a distanza con un coltello e mima di tagliarlo...mentre il giornale si rompe VISIBILMENTE come fosse effettivamente tagliato e alla fine tutto può essere esaminato ( Niente compari gli spettatori sono scelti a caso ), sol questo gioco vale il prezzo dell' intero libro ! Il...

This is an amazing close-up trick which is a mystery to any audience. Two cards are selected from a deck of cards. You show several Jokers. One at a time, the Jokers turn over and during this process change one by one into duplicates of the first card. Then, all together they change into duplicates of the second selected card!

Requires two double faced cards.

More great magic of Nick Trost. All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• FOUR-WAY MATCH-UP: You lay four cards on the table. The spectator separates the deck into four packets and at the face of each packet he finds the matching cards of the previous four.
• THREE MATCHED PAIRS: A spectator picks three pairs while you deal cards and they are the only matching pairs of the packet.
• SUITS OF SYMPATHY: A stunning routine. You place the hearts cards in a glass. The Diamonds cards are shuffled by a spectator and they match the Hearts cards. Stunning.
• REPEAT ROYAL MARRIAGES:...
