Music and memories are made for each other. In Sean's routine, Symphony, he explores the power of associations. In this succinct ebook, Sean describes a manner to have a participant create an association in his mind with some familiar childhood tunes. In spite of the delightful freedom provided by the structure the performer will be able to reveal the thought-of tune; accurately and in memorable fashion. This routine is simple and easy to perform but resonates with power. This is a routine you will love to perform.

"I have seen Paul performing many times now and I am amazed how he can captivate an audience with just one pack of ungimmicked playing cards. His act is full of comedy yet he cracks few jokes and above all he is a master of misdirection. I know no one else who sets off for top venues with his act in his pockets. As he says, "I wear my act". He takes a back up pack of cards and sometimes a couple of close up items and he is set for complete show." - Martin Breese

After fanning the cards to show they are mixed the performer places the deck on a small table or hands it to someone to hold, at which point he never touches or even approaches the deck again. Next, the performer, in order to prove no stooges are being used picks up a box that is filled with paper balls and slings it in an arc over the entire audience asking everyone to catch or pick up a ball near them. When a number of the audience are holding paper balls, the performer reveals that three of the balls have a second red paper ball concealed inside the white. When the three people find...

Nicely illustrated routines of a full-time performer.

From the introduction:

Effect: Using a full deck of playing cards, a spectator cuts to one card that the magician asks him to remember. He selects a second card by secretly spelling the name of his thought-of card, dealing one card for each letter, and pockets it. In the first climax, the magician is able to divine the card that the spectator is thinking of. In the second climax, the pocketed card and a prediction (tabled from the beginning) are revealed: They are identical!

No gaff. No sleight. Basically self-working. This routine uses a regular deck and an ordinary odd-backed card only. Everything can be examined. ...

This new information does not appear in print anywhere else. This is a novel and unique effect your spectators have not seen before! Back in the 80s Uri Geller did a similar effect and got a lot of publicity for doing this. However, the Geller effect involved a switch of the bean seeds, and the spectator could not feel the energy that is possible with this improved effect.

EFFECT: The performer shows a small clear Ziploc bag of bean seeds. The seeds are ungimmicked and can be examined...
