Magic & Conjuring: page 172

Paul A. Lelekis provides a trio of titillating tricks for the close-up performer! All three routines are world-class effects. The bonus effect was contributed by the amazing Scottish performer, Ronnie Wood - this effect will blow your spectators away!

The highlight of this e-book is The Ultimate Poker Demo. There have been many poker demos out there...but NONE like this beauty. This will become your absolute favorite routine to perform and is an ideal closer.

These wonderful effects are not for the faint of heart, but for magicians who not only want to "up" their game, but also provide...

Wie ver­spro­chen das zweite Heft der Son­der­aus­gabe zur Falt­karte. Und da sie noch recht­zei­tig im April erschie­nen ist, befinde ich mich wie­der im Timing. In die­ser Aus­gabe beschreibe ich wei­tere Tech­ni­ken und Ideen zur Falt­karte. Von man­chen wirst du noch nie gehört haben. Wie auch im ers­ten Heft geht es vor­ran­gig um Metho­den des Fal­tens und des Aus­tau­schens. Anzu­mer­ken wäre noch, dass vie­les von dem Mate­rial in den bei­den Hef­ten sich sehr gut auch in der Men­tal­ma­gie mit Zet­teln ein­set­zen läßt. Hier der Inhalt:

CARD...

Known for his work in the field of mentalism, it may come as a surprise (unless you attended his first lecture tour), to know that Scott Creasey performed his first underwater handcuff escape in 1976 at just twelve years of age and that during the early part of his career he spent as much time hanging upside down wrapped in chains, tied in packing cases and struggling to escape from various types of handcuffs, as he did reading minds.

In this ebook for the very first time, Scott explains the various methods he used for his underwater handcuff and chain escapes to gain publicity during those...

New tossed out deck where 5 people peek at a card and each sits down one at a time as each card is revealed.

"Devin first released 'OuttaSight' which was really good. Now, he has released "Knockout Tossed Out" which is as good, if not better than OuttaSight. Any student of the tossed-out deck can learn a lot from Devin's version. It's not just the method behind it but the psychology as well that makes this one really special and fun to perform. I enjoy it, fooling laypeople and magicians alike, and so will those who use it." - Robert Marsi

CONTENTS:

• MIRRORS, MIRRORS (Michael Symes): A card is chosen from a red deck. Two blue-backed Jokers are shown and they take the reflection of the chosen card, both changing into that card.
• SEPARATE COLORS (Francis Haxton): A spectator separates the red cards from the black by inserting a joker exactly between the two sections of colors.
• A CARD SANDWICH (Victor Monleon): A selected card vanishes from between the red Queens (or any pair) and then reappears between them again.

CONTENTS:

• CONTRASTING PREDICTION (Max Maven): A red-backed card is shown as a prediction. A blue-backed deck is spread face up and a card is selected. The prediction card is a perfect match.
• ALTERNATING CURRENT (Norman Houghton): Two sets of four cards each, one face up and one face down. You place them together and the cards magically alternate, face up, face down all the way through.
• RED VERSUS WHITE (Peter Warlock): This is a transposition effect using two balls, say one red and one white. Involves a cup and some sleight of hand. Neat effect. ...

Die aktu­elle Aus­gabe stellt eine Beson­der­heit dar: Das Thema ist die Falt­karte von JORO. Der Effekt also, bei dem eine signierte Karte gefal­tet in einer Schach­tel (oder irgendwo anders) erscheint. Zuerst wollte ich ja nur mei­nen "LAGER Switch" beschrei­ben, dann aber merkte ich schnell, dass in dem Thema noch viel drin ist und dazu noch viel mehr gesagt wer­den kann und ich sam­melte Ideen. Dar­aus wur­den dann zwei Hefte, die sich sehr aus­führ­lich mit dem Effekt aus­ein­an­der­set­zen und ihn von allen mög­li­chen Sei­ten beleuch­ten. Ich könnte alleine...

A packet of cards is introduced for a "kind of" poker game in which the spectator cannot lose. The magician explains he has two rewards for him. At the end of the dealings, if the spectator's hand beats the magician's, he gets a $20 bill. If his hand is a royal flush, he gets the magician's credit card. And if the magician's hand beats the spectator's, nobody loses anything. Fair enough?

The cards are then dealt accordingly to the spectator's choices between the magician and him - five cards each. When the spectator spreads his cards face up on the table, he has four cards from a royal flush...

A simple and easy, but, effective way of doing the famous, or infamous, Three Card Monte. The effect where three cards are placed on a table and the 'money' card keeps appearing or disappearing!

Using the story-line of Field Marshal Montgomery's attempts, during WWII, to keep the enemy guessing where he was, you use the cards to illustrate the story and allow you to use a very bad pun.

You will need to buy a 'special' card or two to do this effect. But, these cards can be very easily found on the internet or obtained from your local friendly magic dealer. (Or you can make them yourself!) ...

In Sean Waters latest release, you will find a gallery of realistic mentalism for group showings and for etching lasting memories with the most powerful form of mentalism - one on one. Sean introduces a new method to introduce yourself to complete strangers and already know their name; the way a real mind-reader would. This is no washroom eavesdropping. Sean provides a re-constructed manner to predict a series of numbers (and reveal what they mean). This improvisational method can be used anywhere and at any time. Sean has sculpted two ESP symbol presentations that will devastate any onlooker...

This is a collection of six theory talks by Ian Kendall on various subjects of performing in general and performing magic in particular.

1st edition 2009

Everyone can benefit from this advice, beginners and experienced performers alike.

This is the third video from Egotistical Opinions. This ten minute lesson talks about the concept of visual noise, and how you can control your body language so that you are not distracting to watch.

This is the second video from Egotistical Opinions. The 32 minute video covers microphone technique for magicians, covering handheld, tie clip and headset mics. Ian shows the correct way to handle and use the microphone so that you look and feel confident and professional.

This is the first lesson from Egotistical Opinions. In this 12 minute video Ian talks about entrances, and how to make that important first impression. Covering both stage and close up situations, he shows examples of how he starts a show, and then explains why he does what he does when he does it. The final story is not only true, but still makes him wince...

CONFABULATION - The routine I have been doing since the 80s (oh my gosh!). Out of the need to create a DIY version of the marketed effect of Alan Shaxon, I devised this baby. It's easy to use, practical and you don't need any Kaps wallet for this. At the end, everything can be left with the spectators.

SOAP BUBBLE CARD - Finn Jon is a genius with both threads and his omni-present soap bubbles. In 1987 I created a revelation with a smoke filled soap bubble that is really eye candy and surprising. A signed selection appears with the burst of a soap bubble. Easy, simple and visual. A truly unusual...
