Magic & Conjuring: page 160

L'artista propone una strana partita a poker con solo dieci carte. Durante questa dimostrazione riesce sempre ad avere la «mano» vincente! La routine base è stata introdotta per la prima volta nella rivista «THE PHOENIX» di Bruce ELLIOTT (numero 168, 14 gennaio 1949, con varianti nei numeri successivi 170 e 180) col nome di TEN CARD POKER DEAL (il gioco del poker con dieci carte). Numerose routines sono apparse su questo tema in tante riviste e pubblicazioni varie. Quella che ti offro è basata anch'essa su astuzie ideate da vari autori, primo fra tutti Paul CURRY al quale va un grazie...

Eccoci alla terza Lezione di questo splendido corso , completo in ogni dettaglio. Un breve riassunto del contenuto:

La Lezione dopo una interessante carrellata storica, si sofferma su un importante principio : quello della MISDERCTION, proponendo interessantissime osservazioni.

Completano la lezione tre effetti con gli anelli, ognuno dei quali completamente mistificante.

1. Un anello di metallo, dopo essere stato esaminato, viene legato ad una cordicella da un membro del pubblico. La corda viene poi tenuta per entrambe le estremità da due spettatori. L'artista, sotto la copertura di un...

Two hands off and impromptu effects you'll do for the rest of your life at any moment notice, and every time you'll meet somebody because they are fun to perform, simple and practical.

"Man both routines are very very clever! I love them! Especially the heads and tails one!!! I definitely use them! Well done mate!" - Romanos, creator of GERTI/Silver swindle

This ebook is a combination of the simplest plots you can perform in Magic: HEADS or TAILS? and WHICH HAND? They can be done separately as well.

The routine:

In his guise as mentalist, mind reader and psychic entertainer, Scott is always on the lookout for routines that use innocent looking, common and recognizable props, which can be adapted for use in stage and close up environments.

In the following pages you will find a number of real world routines using UNO cards. Available from most toy stores and regularly advertised on TV, if you perform any kind of mentalism, you will find them perfect as a substitute for playing cards or ESP cards.

All the routines in this ebook have been tried, tested and refined over years of performance. As well...

The tiny plunger is an exciting new plot in magic and has been performed on the Today show. It's cute and catchy.

Take the Plunge(r): Tiny Plunger Magic is not about merely telling you the secret, but also how to perform an easy routine that builds to a stunning conclusion, while getting laughs all along the way.

You will learn where to get the props you need, how to set up for the trick, and how to reset for the next performance. There is also solid advice born from Raymonde Crow's experience "in the trenches," working in a restaurant environment.

Whether you want to make money as...

EFFECT: The performer hands an envelope to a spectator to hold. The performer then removes a deck of cards from its case. The cards are not playing cards, however. In this deck, each card bears the name of a state in the United States. The performer thumbs through the deck allowing the spectators to see that all of the cards are different (when I do this, I even tell them that in order to have a full, 52-card deck, I have added Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico). The deck is then divided into 4 approximately equal piles. A spectator now selects one of those piles to use in the experiment, and...

EFFECT: The performer jots down a prediction on a small piece of paper, folds it into quarters, and drops it into a coffee cup. A spectator is now asked to name a time. She says, "7:35". She now reaches into the coffee cup, and removes the slip of paper, opens it up, and reads the time. Of course, it is 7:35.

• No one-ahead
• The spectator does not write anything down
• No nail-writers
• No math or spelling type force
• 99% impromptu

This is a 'cards through case' effect, but completely different than older versions. This effect takes a classic stage illusion and puts it in the spectator's hands.

Four random cards are selected by the spectator. The four cards are placed inside a card case and given to the spectator to hold at their fingertips.

Three of the four cards are removed, leaving the final card inside of the card case. The remaining three cards are then pushed through the side of the card case and the selected card.

This can be viewed from all angles whilst the spectator is holding the case.

The three...

This routine allows you to have a spectator think of ANYTHING, have them write it down, and you will be able to determine what it is and end up clean. All you need to carry with you is a few blank cards, a pen and most importantly, a paper clip, as it will be..... The PSYCHIC ANTENNA.

Everything in this routine is natural and logical with no "funny" moves and focuses on everything except the method.

The routine relies on sleight-of-hand of moderate difficulty. The moves are motivated and blend into the normal action and movement of the routine.

Effect:

The magician displays a pack of cards and a prediction (one card between the two Jokers, all held by a rubber band). He deals the cards from the top of the pack until the spectator says "stop". He is asked to remember the suit of his first selection.

The deck is gathered and the value of the first card is used to find another card. He is asked to remember the value of his second selection.

So basically, a card has just been made up. The deck is gathered, turned face up and the value of the second selection is used to find a third card. Wouldn't it be great if it was the made-up...

Addicted To Power
The spectator chooses a random number of cards and a random selection from the deck. The random cards have letters on their faces. If you read the letters they give you the name of the selection! After this the magician shows that all the other cards in the deck are blank!

Mystical Sandwich
Two spectators choose two cards by cutting the shuffled deck. They sign their cards and bury them into the deck. The magician spreads the deck and shows that the mystical card of the deck has turned face up in the middle of the deck. By spelling the name of the mystical card, the...

CardPerfect war eines der ersten grossen Bücher des produktiven Schweizer Zauberkünstlers Roberto Giobbi.

Die 13 Routinen in CardPerfect sind - von wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen - technisch verblüffend einfach und für den interessierten Leser unter der erstklassigen Anleitung des Autors leicht lernbar. Obwohl Roberto Giobbi zweifellos zu den virtuosen Kartentechnikern unserer Zeit zählt, werden in den vorliegenden Routinen vor allem die Präsentation, die Ablenkung der Aufmerksamkeit und das harmonische Zusammenspiel von Wort und Handlung in den Vordergrund gestellt. Die intelligente...

Mit ihm, dem Zauberkünstler Ludwig Döbler, hatte Österreich bereits in der Biedermeierzeit einen internationalen Superstar, der von Budapest bis London, von Prag bis St. Petersburg die größten Bühnenerfolge einheimste. Er war zu seiner Zeit genauso, wenn nicht populärer als Nestroy, Grillparzer oder Raimund. Mit den Intellektuellen seiner Zeit, wie z.B. Goethe, Dingelstedt, Saphir, Bäuerle, Heine, Castelli, Raimund, war er freundschaftlich verbunden.

Berühmt war sein Entree, nach einem Schuss brannten 200 Kerzen auf der Bühne oder "Flora's Blumenspende", wobei er dutzende kleine...

In questo manoscritto Aldo ti insegna una serie di cappelli da creare con i palloncini per modellare di semplicissima esecuzione e di grande effetto.

Puoi utilizzarli in mille occasioni nel tuo spettacolo. Sono originali e divertenti e, soprattutto se lavori con i bambini, sono uno strumento per creare momenti indimenticabili di sicuro successo. Come dice Aldo stesso nell'introduzione: "L' idea di creare cappelli con palloncini è relativamente nuova. I cappelli sono divertenti, attirano adulti e bambini e sono DIVERSI, creando novità nelI' arte di modellare i palloncini Ogni occasione...

In questo raro manoscritto di Aldo, trovi una divertente routine con il solo uso di un mazzo di carte e un metro da falegname. Dopo aver fatto scegliere una carta, tu, il performer, esegui una serie di figure con un metro mentre racconti una esilarante storia. Infine, sempre servendoti del metro, ritrovi con successo la carta scelta. Molto originale, sempre pronto e facilissimo da eseguire: intrattenimento allo stato puro.

A version that fools those who know the original. A spectator correctly guesses the colors sealed in four envelopes. No gimmick markers.

NOTE: Do not confuse this with the original Blindsight. This 100% new method will fool those who have the original trick.

The performer shows four manila envelopes. There is nothing written on the envelopes, nor are they secretly marked. He shows them freely on both sides and points out the envelopes are opaque. The performer hands the envelopes to a participant; saying inside each envelope is a different colored card: Green, red, blue, and yellow. The performer...

PSYCH 5
This is Andy's multiple phased, business card routine. Like every other piece in this collection it allows for ample byplay, and a fun competitiveness and out guessing theme between you and the participant. Perhaps the coolest part about this is the psychology that allows you to do it "gimmick" free with near 100% accuracy. Although the 100% accurate version is thrown in. This is pure psychological fun.
