Inspired by the classic 13 Steps to Mentalism, Step #9 Mediumistic Stunts is Paul Voodini's very personal look at the world of seance and paranormal entertainment. This extensive manuscript looks at Ouija boards and glass moving, the use of pendulums, table-tipping, red light phenomena, the spirit conductive rope, and the black out seance.

Although Paul has previously written extensively on the subject of seance and paranormal entertainment, this is all new text with Paul going into great detail on many aspects that he has never talked about before. Whether you are an experienced seance...

CONTENTS:

• ROPE, HANDKERCHIEF AND RING MYSTERY (Ken de Courcy): A handkerchief is draped over the center of a piece of rope which is tied over the handkerchief. The whole thing is given to a spectator to hold. A ring is vanished and it appears knotted on the center of the rope.
• AN E.V.T.V. PREDICTION (Arthur Carter): A method to predict basically anything you want: Names, places, cards, etc. The principle can be used for many other routines.

Much of what is published in magic revolves around different handlings to do the same things. Check for yourself how many versions of the same things are published each year. Other stuff do focus on the more deeper aspects of theatrical magic, but many times the results are far from optimal, being long stories plastered on self working card tricks, involving counting and dealing, etc.

Rare is to find pieces created from the inside out (instead of the outside in).

In this small collection you will find 3 interesting pieces involving deep presentations with playing cards.

Six tricks with an easy to make deck of cards.

FACTS
An ACAAN-variation. The magician introduces two decks of cards: one has a blue back, the other red. The blue deck is shuffled and tabled. The red deck is numbered from 1 to 52 on the back of the cards. The spectator cuts to a random card in the shuffled red deck and selects another random card. The spectator turns any of the two red cards face up and the other one face down. By using the number on the back of the red-backed card, the spectator deals a pile from the blue-backed deck. The last dealt card matches the face-up, red-backed card. ...

BERMUDADREIECK - Das ist der Trick, über den alle beim Seminar gesprochen haben. Eine geliehene Münze durchdringt sichtbar eine (unpräparierte) Karte und landet in der Hand des Zuschauers. man muss es gesehen und vor allem gefühlt haben, um zu wissen, wie effektvoll dieser kleine Trick wirkt.

DAS FENSTERKUVERT MAL ANDERS - Diese Feinheit zum Fensterkuvert habe ich lange Jahre zurückbehalten. Es ermöglicht dir alle klassischen Effekte mit einem Fensterkuvert, jedoch mit dem Unterschied, dass das Kuvert von allen Seiten gezeigt werden kann und verschlossen ist. Auch kommen keine Durchschreibetechniken...

"I'm an enormous fan of the philosophical perspectives flowing through this book, but make no mistake, these pages also document many powerful, clever, commercial magic effects. Among my favorites are 'Leaving Decks', 'Martika', and the extremely intimate 'Ode to Charlie.'" - Jay Sankey

"Jeff Stone's 793.8 asks us to discover where the magic is in our methods, effects, presentations, and in our lives. Perhaps we do not care or think we know, but Jeff lightly and joyfully keeps at us with his tricks and reflections until we are moved to wonder more broadly and deeply about our experience of magic....

"Another super-commercial, high-impact collection from the fertile mind of Cameron Francis. This is the perfect finale to the extremely well thought-out 'Moment's Notice' series. Highly recommended." - D. Ulin, Los Angeles, CA

"Six devilishly cunning effects that you could possibly live without. Then again, you could live without sex, but you wouldn't want to... would you?" - Stephen Tucker, UK

"Cam's Moment's Notice series is a great read for anyone who digs their card magic and "Moment's Notice 8" is no exception!" - Liam Montier, UK

MY MAGIC SQUARE - I worked a long time to get together my "perfect" magic square. This one is different, because on the back of the card, where you make the grid, the square is predicted in big bold letters! A very good number force is described that has been long time underground and that can be used in many other effects as well. I always carry this one with me in my wallet and it has never ceased to really amaze people. [Note: In order to perform this magic square effect you will either need E-Z Square 4 by Werner Miller or Patterns of Perfection Revisited by Sam Dalal.

Working amusement parks or festivals can be quite challenging. It can also be one of the easiest gigs you will ever do.

• Staying cool during the summer: Heat is a major concern when working amusement parks... be prepared.
• Fewer props means less to carry around: You'll be walking many miles a day... don't carry a suitcase with you.
• Be realistic: Know what you're getting into and map out what you want to accomplish. Then adjust your plans.
• Don't get lost when everybody else is: Expect to be asked for directions hundreds of times a day... perfect opportunity for a gag or two.
• Get the guests...

Have you ever wanted to take a deck of cards, and make your spectators truly believe that you are perhaps the greatest card sharp ever? David Devlin loves gambling routines, especially Poker deals. This just might be one of the most mind-numbing Poker deals created. And best of all, there is no real technical skill required! It is 99% self-working!

Here is the effect: A deck is shuffled, and placed in front of a spectator who is told to cut it about in half. This is done, and it is explained that a four-hand Poker game is going to be dealt. The spectator is asked to name any hand of Poker....

"Very nice. Sweet effect, well done!" - Martin Lewis

David Devlin has done it again! This time with a new piece of mentalism that has fried both lay audiences and magicians alike. This is a stunning display of not only your psychic abilities, but also those of the spectator. It is so fair and so "hands-off" that there just does not seem anyway possible for this to work, but it does, and it is 99.5% self working, and it is under your control. David has combined two principles to create this incredible mystery, one of which is grossly under explored.

Bonus: This eBook also features a fantastic...

PAPER DARTS - This is the routine I've kept back. You stand on stage with a folded paper dart. Spectators decide on a three digit number. The dart is thrown into the audience and the audience member catching it brings it to the stage. The paper dart is opened and on it is PRINTED in big bold letters the chosen number! NO nail writing or whatsoever, the method will make you laugh. Completey "out-of-the-box" thinking here. Hopefully, only a few magicians will go into the troubles making this one up.

HOPA-GIMMICK - This can be made up withing minutes and enables you to force two cards as convincingly...

Seven great effects in one eBook, all based around James Ward's Wordsmith Deck - a pack of some fifty cards consisting of fifty different words.

Rags to Riches
Random words are picked from a dictionary, a spectator, or number of spectators, pick a word each. Each of these words are then discovered and revealed by the magician.

This manuscript features six routines from Paul Voodini, all utilizing a marked deck. As well as fully explaining the routines, Paul also discusses many subtleties that allow the performer to use a marked deck with confidence and the 'tricks of the trade' that mean the spectators never suspect for a moment that there is anything 'funny' about the cards.

The routines included are:

The Keeper of Secrets. The performer is able to correctly divine a chosen card despite the spectator desperately trying to keep its identity a secret.

Thought Transfer. Performer and spectator work together...
