Magic & Conjuring: page 152

Why do the same tricks everyone else is doing?

FEEN-X Magazine was an underground newsletter read by some of the top names in magic. Now it can be yours!

This e-book is the complete compilation of the first volume of FEEN-X from the year 2000.

Gregg Webb’s unique approach to magic is simple: create tricks and routines that veer off in a different direction. The result is magic that is strong – and subtle at the same time – hitting the audience where it counts.

101 pages long, this e-book was personally illustrated by Gregg Webb. (A professional artist, Gregg created cover art...

Almost everyone is on Facebook nowadays and odds are you have a Facebook account. But are you using it to properly promote your entertainment business? Do you even know how? Sadly, most entertainers don't realize the full potential of Facebook. To them, it is a place to shoot the bull and play games, but did you know that the proper use of Facebook could double the amount of shows you do in a year? No, this isn't hype, this is a hard fact. The trouble is most performers aren't even aware of how this can be done! Just being on Facebook...

What Happens:

The mentalist displays four or five current popular magazines. They are handed out and freely examined. One is chosen by an audience member and he or she is asked to peruse the magazine. Next they are asked to decide on a page with lots of text, they do so and proceed to remove the page from the magazine. This is repeated with the other magazines until there are four or five random pages from each magazine.

Next the audience member's with their respective pages are instructed to turn them landscape and tear them in half. Place the two pieces together and repeat, and repeat...

Adair has always been a prolific creator of magical effects. Several stage magic and card magic effects are explained with beautiful illustrations. Some of the effects you will find explained are:

SEE - THROUGH FOLDER
This is a quick appearance of four silks in a simple folder. The silks appear visibly and are seen through a window in the folder.

SILKEN BUTTERFLY
A pretty conceit with a plaque, showing a picture of a butterfly and with four cut-out holes on the butterfly wings. Coloured silks represent the colours on the butterfly, they are removed, placed into a beaker from which they...

F A V O L O S O è senza dubbio l'aggettivo giusto per descrivere questo libro!

U. F. Grant, che coloro che ci seguono da tempo conoscono, era veramente geniale, si dice inventasse almeno tre nuovi trucchi al giorno! Alcune delle sue straordinarie creazioni sono descritte in quest'opera insieme ad alcuni classici del mentalismo, tutti però con il tocco di Grant.

Troverete in esso molto materiale da poter utilizzare nei vostri spettacoli siano essi di close-up a da scena. Inoltre troverete molti principi poco conosciuti per ottenere straordinari effetti...

Tridente: Tre mazzetti di carte sono usati per rivelare tre predizioni in una maniera incredibile.

DADI PROFETICI - Tu consegni una previsione ad uno spettatore. Due dadi, senza punti, sono mostrati e due spettatori scelgono due numeri a caso. Da un mazzo di carte il primo spettatore distribuisce tante carte quante ne indica il suo numero. L' ultima carta viene mostrata e ha lo stesso valore del numero detto dal SECONDO spettatore. II secondo spettatore distribuisce le carte a seconda del suo numero e l' ultima carta rivela il numero del...

La bibliografia magica mondiale offre una sconfinata quantità di materiale dedicata all'immortale Gioco Dei Bussolotti. Da anni Matteo Filippini studia con passione molti dei testi riguardanti i bussolotti; con "Due Antiche Coppe" non ha di certo la pretesa di rivoluzionare nulla a proposito di quanto detto e scritto da centinaia di anni su tal nobile gioco, ma l'autore ritiene di aver comunque qualcosa da dire in merito sia al neofita che al prestigiatore navigato.

Il libretto offre una semplice ma efficace routine a due bussolotti, ideale anche nel caso in cui le condizioni di lavoro non...

Appassionato di close-up da più di vent'anni e avido consumatore e collezionista di libri magici, Matteo Filippini presenta una semplice routine di chop cup.

Nonostante la chop cup sia spesso stata considerata come la "parente povera" dei bussolotti, in realtà, se accompagnata dallo studio accurato di molte tecniche e sleight, può divenire un effetto killer del repertrio di qualsiasi prestigiatore. La semplicità della chop cup non sta di certo a significare banalità, tutt'altro. Basta vedere come grandi personaggi della Magia come Don Alan o Paul Daniels l'abbiano portata a livelli di...

"Seriously, this is underpriced...A vast amount of theory and applicable content is squeezed into this... After I get it all integrated, this is going straight into my naked repertoire... This has a huge amount of information to digest, but it's 100% workable, and Atlas has brought many, many new ways to work with this to the table. I think that many don't use this principle simply because a work this all encompassing has never before been written on the topic. This really fills a previously gaping hole in mentalism and opens up many doors. This is incredibly underpriced in my opinion. I rarely...

What do other Mentalists think?

"At last a routine where you really are doing what you claim! This is a fantastic concept that Atlas has expanded greatly. It has the feeling of real mentalism because it IS real mentalism." - Marc Paul

"Page seven of your manuscript is worth whatever you end up charging for it." - Dave Arch

"I really enjoyed 'The Real Thing'...The core of the effect uses pure psychology which is just the ticket. The way in which this has been used to create a nice little lie-detector routine is very clever indeed." - Derek Heron

"Rather than a physical peek, your method...

"Sean Waters material rides at the top of Mentalism's 'New Wave'." - Bob Cassidy, Performer, Author and Co-Founder of the P.E.A.

"Reflections" is, like all of Sean's work, thought-provoking, powerful and practical. It is a marvelous collection of material, and highly recommended." - Gabe Abelson, writer and performer

"In short, if you're already a fan of Sean's work, I'll bet you a cookie you'll be a fan of this book. If you're not familiar with his work, I would bet you'll be a fan once you read it." - Joshua Quinn, Creator and Author

"I want to thank you for again sharing your wonderful and...

"The Panacea Process is a brilliant concept" - Thomas Heine of Paralabs

"It is AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, DECEPTIVE, PERFECT! The best investment I have made." - Jose Prager, creator and author (comment regarding The Panacea Process)

"There are a very few people out there who I've come to trust to deliver 'the good stuff' and by that I mean, 'stuff I can use'. If you're familiar with Sean's ebooks you already know he's a thoughtful, knowledgeable guy, who not only shares great ideas but understands (and credits) where these ideas come from. I can say without hesitation that the Panacea Process was totally...

The following effect by Jack Yates was originally published in 1980, by Supreme Magic under the title of "Accusation." The original version is still available from Magic Inc. Dave Arch has simplified the handling, strengthened the mnemonic aids, and consequently dispensed with an additional key card originally needed to guide the mentalist.

EFFECT: After asking the group how many have ever attended a Mystery Party, the mentalist suggests, "For anyone who has never been to one, let's have one right here! You know how it is. When people come to the party,...

"I want to crawl up your nose and take a sample of your brain so I can clone it." - Iain Dunford

"It's a great book from cover to cover." - Don Theo

"Every time Sean describes a new card effect to me it feels like coming home to that place where 'Out of This World' is brand new and I wonder what's waiting on the next page." - Mike Ince

"A real treasure chest" - Felix Schellenberg

"An Exceptional Book" - Jan Forster

"If you've ever doubted whether cards have a place in mentalism, READ THIS BOOK!" - Gabe Abelson

"Cards DO have a place in mentalism. Here is over 100 pages that further proves it." - Bryn Reynolds

"I could...

Ever wanted to read minds of others in a hassle-free way? There have been hundreds of excellent methods in existence for extracting thoughts from people's minds. Mentalists have been "nailing" the thoughts of others, "tearing" into others' brains, having a "peek" into peoples' minds for a long time now. Imagine what it would be like if there's no need to resort to such methods. Imagine what it would be like if you are looking for the information just where you need to look? Here's something revolutionary for you.

Imagine requesting a spectator to take part in a demonstration on Thought Projection....

This ebook is filled with classic routines and effects performed by Ken Brooke.

From the introduction:

POINT BLANK ASSEMBLY gives you the maximum effect for the minimum effort. Four Kings change places one at a time with four blank cards. The transposition is repeated only this time it occurs instantly. Finally the four Kings disappear altogether.

[You will need four blank-faced cards and four kings of which three have blank backs.]

IMPULSE starts as a transposition effect between a selected card and a blank card but ends with a finish that those who have seen it describe as 'NOT POSSIBLE'. Truly original thinking.

[You will need three blank-faced cards. One is gimmicked. The gimmick is easy to make with a pair of scissors, paper and glue.]
