Magic & Conjuring: page 184

This is an exercise in pure performance and psychological effectiveness. Easy to do and it works. Not to mention the fact that by performing it you will become a better overall performer in all the other effects you choose to perform. A great effect for beginning mentalists who want to get good fast, bold, awesome.

A deck of cards is brought out, removed from its case and the performer demonstrates what the spectator is to do in a moment by spreading the deck face-down on the table and randomly removing a card. The deck is then quickly shuffled. The 52 card deck is again spread face down...

"Really great stuff! I love Billz. Such a cool serial number prediction. Great application of a tried and true principle." - Cameron Francis 


"I saw TC DESTROY a room full of magicians with this amazing CARD MIRACLE. He quickly scribbled something on a pad and that was it. Such a strong and clean version of the classic STOP trick or OPEN PREDICTION. Everyone laughed when he showed us the easy method." - Nathan Kranzo

The impact it has on layman is tremendous. Yes it is simple, simple in execution and easy for audiences to follow.

EFFECT

The Entertainer removes a deck of cards and discards the box,...

Five impromptu coin vanishes at your fingertips.

Vaniss is a collection of five coin vanishes all performed at the fingertips. Imagine being able to make a regular coin vanish at the very tips of your fingers. Learn five different methods to do exactly that. This is all sleight-of-hand without any gimmicks.

You will learn:

1. Boom-Bam Vanish
2. Flow Vanish
3. Strange Vanish
4. Tip-Tip Vanish
5. Trace-less Vanish

Trust: A spectator guesses the card placed in full view on the table at the very beginning. (Uses dual reality among other bold principles, but the cool thing is that the participant can swear in front of everybody that it is the same card). There is absolutely no force for the spectator's card.

Variations on Trust: Including an interesting one with a business card where you write the card (before the spectator reveals her card).

Crossword: Another, and different, method for "Trust".

Smashed: The spectator forgets her drawing.

Subliminal: An interesting addition to a force. This...

"I have never come across such a well-thought out and explained package of false dealing tutorials, in print or on screen, ever." - Will Morton, MagicBunny.co.uk

These lessons teach dealing Tops, Seconds and Bottoms from the same grip. A few things to note:

1. The methods in the lessons are the ones I use in the demo clips. I don't talk about seventeen different methods.
2. Nothing in the lessons is self working. If you are not willing to put in the practice, then don't buy them.

From the fertile mind of Ken De Courcy, Edwin Hooper and Ian Adair, here is a manuscript loaded with wonderful ideas to magically introduce and produce your business card...

From the introduction:

Three predictions! Two methods! One sensational effect!

Effect: The performer removes three cards from a shuffled deck and leaves them in a face down pile on the table. He explains that these cards are mates of cards that will be selected by two spectators and himself. The two spectators choose numbers freely and the cards at those positions are placed into a separate stack on the table. The magician offers the audience a choice of two different numbers for his cards. Whichever is chosen, the performer counts to that card and places it on top of the first two selections. A spectator turns...

Tarbell Course contributor Nick Conticello follows his debut The Shadow Placement with three more sensational new effects requiring only an ordinary deck of 52 cards and a clear head to perform. One sleight is required; we include The Widdershins Cut, an effective and simple false cut.

Contents include:

1. THOUGHT CAUGHT: An unprepared deck is shuffled by the performer and cut by the spectator. Two piles of cards are dealt out. The spectator thinks of a card in one of the piles and buries the selection in the deck himself. The performer scans the cards quickly, and removes one card, which turns out to be the selection. No...
