A volte straordinari segreti rimangono sepolti sotto la spessa coltre del tempo in attesa di essere scoperti e far gioire nuove generazioni. Questo è il caso dell’opera che ti presento oggi. E’ stato semplicemente sorprendente e meraviglioso ri-scoprire il libro di Meredith Nugent sulle Bolle di Sapone…Segreti straordinari dimenticati per lungo tempo sono tornati alla luce. Ha evocato in me sensazioni meravigliose che sono convinto evocherà in te. Mi chiedevo si può scoprire qualcosa di nuovo sulle bolle di sapone in un libro di oltre 100 anni fa ? Il libro della Nugent risponde...

Un ebook che spiega nei dettagli una bellissima routine di cartomagia con un normale mazzo di carte

CHE EFFETTO DESCRIVE?

Tre spettatori scelgono altrettante carte e le lasciano sul tavolo .L'esecutore mostra chiaramente tre Jolly. Poi pone una delle carte scelte tra i Jolly e, senza guardarne la faccia, riesce a nominare la carta scelta. La carta viene rimessa sul tavolo. La stessa cosa si ripete con le altre due carte scelte. Ora per il climax finale: le caste scelte vengono girate una alla volta e si sono trasformate in altrettanti Jolly ! Ora le tre carte scelte...

"Man's mind stretched to a new dimension never goes back to its original position."

All known variations of the Mene-Tekel are systematically discussed in exacting detail, along with the corresponding card presentations, selections, and handlings per gaffed deck. Also included are DIY chapters on mene-tekel card gaffing. ...

This is a great opener for any routine or act, which uses the four aces. The inspiration for this came from David Regal's "Deep Guilt Aces".

Before you chalk this up to "another ace cutting trick", take a look at the features:

• No rough/smooth.
• No short cards. No long cards. No thick cards.
• No memorization.
• No sleight-of-hand.
• No "messing with the deck" after each cut. When the spectator cuts the cards, neatness doesn't count. You never miss.
• Totally self-working!

A collection of three re-worked card classics and as Dan Tong says in his Introduction, “Ian has produced three very usable approaches to three classic effects.” That says it all!

Easygoing Carlyle is a no-palm Card To Pocket with a repeat phase that any serious magician can do in a few days. It is almost self-working.

With Nicely Controlled, Ian has refashioned an old trick that was a favorite of none other than S. Leo Horowitz.

Follow The Leader is certainly a classic. What Ian offers here is a six card routine that is simpler to set up than most of the older eight card routines...

A presentation and method for the light and heavy deck that will prove your powers of mind over matter. A spectator will easily lift a deck of your hand, then will be unable to do so.

Card to Envelope
In the book Inspirations (published by Martin Breese in 1987) I included an effect called 'Envelope Prediction'. This is a different version which I performed as part of my close-up act at the Blackpool convention in 1979. There is no palming or copping of cards, in fact you could call this near-self-working!

Lie To Me
A card is selected and lost back into the deck. You give the spectator an old coin/medallion which they hold in their hand. This, you say, will send "truth waves" to the deck. You now ask the spectator a series of questions about his card: he...

This ebook examines some of Houdini's escapades in Lancashire, England and explodes some of the myths that the world famous escapologist built up around himself. It draws on contemporary newspaper accounts and sources. Amongst other stories it relates closely the controversy surrounding Houdini's appearance at the Palace Theatre, Blackburn, England in October 1902 when he faced one of his severest challenges from William Hope Hodgson, who was to go on to be a writer of fantasy literature before his death in the First World War. Houdini, a master of showmanship and publicity, was able to exploit the ordeal...
