Magic & Conjuring: page 240

This e-book offers three similar effects all based on a singular premise.

1. Australian Aces: The performer casually shuffles a pack of cards, then hands it to a volunteer. The performer need not touch the cards for the duration of this feat. The volunteer cuts off roughly a quarter of the pack. The volunteer names any Ace freely. He spells its name and gives the packet an Australian Shuffle. The last card he holds is the Ace he named! The volunteer now spells the word 'Ace' and the Ace matching the color of the named Ace turns up. Finally the volunteer spells the suit of the named Ace and...

Distorted Siblings combines the best aspects of several tricks by John Bannon, Max Maven, and Aldo Colombini. The routine is this:

A packet of red-backed cards and a packet of blue-backed cards are placed face-down on the table. It is explained that each packet contains the four kings and that one in each packet is face-up as a prediction. Two spectators each name a king. The named kings are in fact the face up kings. The kings are turned face down and it is shown that each king is in their opposite packets.

Each king is then placed back into its own packet. All four blue cards are together as are the red cards,...

Some sixty complete routines are performed and explained! As far from a "one trick wonder" type offering as can be imagined, when you get the series you are just paying one dollar and thirty-five cents per routine.

No Adult Supervision is an updated compilation of Geoff's first two sets of lecture notes: The Lecture Your Mother Never Gave You and The Lecture Your Father Never Gave You.

Updated with lots of new text and illustrations, this ebook is filled with outstanding tricks, illusions, sleights and advice. Just a few of the highlights include:

THE "I HATE DAVID COPPERFIELD" TRICK: Based on "Close-Up Illusion" by Larry Jennings, a card visibly melts through another. The visuals here go way beyond the original.

JUST A BIT MORE ULTIMATE THAN JOHN MENDOZA'S "ULTIMATE TORN & RESTORED CARD": You're clean at...

This is a totally self-working and completely hands off routine which can be a reputation maker for you and allows you to fully focus on your presentation. You will find this a real pleasure to perform.

The theme is that of a psychic librarian who always accurately predicts the total deposit to be paid for a list of book choices made by a series of participants. In an additional phase, the performer can also accurately divine each individual choice of the participants.

The method is a unique combination of two classic principles. It is very easy to perform and you can start performing...

What a fantastic effect, from the audience's standpoint. The performer exhibits a three foot length of rope and mysteriously begins to S-T-R-E-T-C-H it to an unbelievable 20 feet!

Completely revised, these greatly enlarged instructions include both of Milbourne Christopher's exclusive methods for stretching a rope to many times its original length. No hidden reels, magnets, or special rope needed. Regular, soft cotton magician's rope works fine for this. This will be a show-stopper in your act. Also makes a terrific introduction to a cut 'n restored or ring-on-rope routine.

1st edition...

THIS ILLUSION IS 100% SAFE AND NOBODY CAN BE HARMED. IT IS JUST AN ILLUSION, BUT ONE OF THE MOST CONVINCING YOU WILL EVER SEE.

"The method is brilliant! It is important to realize that in this trick, like in the buzz saw illusion, no one is hurt, injured or killed. Also, no state or federal laws are broken." - Ron Levy

You show three candle holders on a table, each with a candle in it. A sheet of clear glass is placed around them and the candles are visibly lighted. The center one is referred to as the sacred light. Anything passed through the flame will not burn hands or other objects. Even flash paper will not be set off by the flame!

The sacred light is removed from the alter and caused to vanish. It immediately reappears back in the holder lighted! Finally, the candle vanishes completely leaving no trace behind.

A trick with visible impact that you will fool yourself with.

These are the exact...

The performer bends a coin in a participant's mind, causing them to impossibly feel an object that another participant has concealed in a fist.

Mental Bending is one of the most unique takes on the psychokinetic metal effect. There is no other PK metal plot like this on the market, where you manipulate the way a piece of metal feels in a person's mind.

It looks like the real deal, and showcases an incredible twist at the end that no one will see coming!

The Ken Griffin illusion show toured the world for well over a quarter of a century. The priceless ideas and methods used by the Griffins in their climb to prominence and profit are fully explained.

Almost every magician has dreamed, at one time or another, of headlining his own mystery revue. He visualizes the glamorous side of the picture ... the stage flooded with colored and glittering lights, the dazzling scenery, the gorgeous assistants, breathtaking illusions, the music from the orchestra surging to a crescendo, the thunderous cymbal crash as the magician strides on stage for his...

Remastered from the original digital footage, this is the substantially improved quality compared to the original VHS product. It is Simon Lovell at his magical best.

All three Simon Lovell "Man of Danger" videos bundled together at a bargain price. This is Simon Lovell offering extremely strong routines certain to delight any audience . . . performed and explained.

In this final volume, we begin with the "Packed Wallet Set." As before, Simon begins with the spontaneous magic and audience interaction as only he can do. Included are striking performances of "Lovey Dovey Sandwich","Elmsley Cut Elmsley," "The Packed Wallet," and Simon's show-stopping story deck routine, "Who Killed Lilly Longlegs?"

On all three volumes, after the performances we sneak away to the sanctuary of Bat Cave Studios where Simon breaks down all the performing details and tips the real work. Then, in a new analysis session, Simon gives you the why, the reasoning behind everything...

Simon Lovell at his very best, performing (and teaching) Heartless, Another Departed Point, Sleight-of-Tongue, Paper Roses, and much, much more.

Volume two begins with "The Heartless Set." Again, full blown non-stop unrehearsed action with an incredible audience and incredible magic. Included are excellent performances of Simon's finest handlings of "Heartless," "Another Departed Point," "Sleight-of-Tongue," and Simon's wonderful, poignant and memorable "Paper Roses." The performance is laced with jokes and gags the entire way. The audience reaction for this performance leaves nothing to...

In this, the first part of Simon's accoladed three volume video package, we begin with "The Wobbly Wombat Set." This is full blown, non-stop unrehearsed action, where the audience and the magic are both the real deal.

Included are sterling performances of Simon's latest and greatest handlings of "Fingered Number Three," "Card To Wallet," "The Lemming Ace Exchange," and Simon's stunning multiple selection routine: "The Wobbly Wombat."

The performance is spiced with gags and bits of business too numerous to mention. The audience reaction will make you a true believer in Simon's high-impact,...
