Magic & Conjuring: page 284

You correctly guess how many red and black cards a spectator has casually put into four pockets with an unexpected climax. No skill required.

EFFECT

A spectator is given a pack of cards, or he can use his own. He shuffles it, removes some cards, splits them into blacks and reds and places the blacks in his left trouser-pocket and the reds in his right. He takes some more cards, splits them as before and conceals the black cards in his left jacket pocket and the reds in his right. All this has taken place while the performer's back is turned.

The magician asks the spectator to again...

Eine dramaturgisch choreografierte Präsentation für die Zig Zag Zigarette.

Der Vorführende zeigt, wie er einem schweren Raucher, der das Rauchen aufgeben wollte, in einer dramatischen Szene mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stand.

Er zerschnitt dessen letzte Zigarette in drei Teile. Danach hatte der Raucher die Wahl: entweder warf er die zerstörte Zigarette weg und hörte mit dem Rauchen auf, oder der Vorführende stellte die Zigarette wieder her und der Raucher rauchte weiter. Der Raucher verlor den inneren Kampf und forderte den Vorführenden auf, die Zigarette wiederherzustellen.

In decades of reading and performing magic, only four number-based brainteasers made my short list for consistent use with my audiences. I share them with you as a thank you for the support you've shown my work on Lybrary.com.

The four number-based puzzlers in this package made the cut based on the following criteria:

• Each had to be obscure enough that my audiences would not have seen or heard of them before;
• Although based on numbers, the process in the presentation needed to be direct and simple; and
• Most importantly . . . each needed to illustrate a proven principle essential for...

Solar Wind - The Perpetual Floating Card - is not so much a magic trick as it is a piece of magic art. A card hovers above the deck...and just keeps on hovering. Leave it on a desk, table, or shelf and it could be enjoyed for years.

Is the method invisible? It depends on the surface, the background, and the lighting. Set up on a dark surface it is very difficult to see the mechanism, even from a couple of feet away. By choosing the right conditions it is possible to make it even more invisible. However, the method is not 100% invisible.

This is hard to build. Some of the steps require...

This is a two person telepathy act. The Telesthesia Code is simple and easy yet undetectable. You and your assistant (or partner or spouse etc) can learn this code in under 5 minutes. There are absolutely no words that need to be spoken nor any body signals required. You and your assistant do not even face each other and there is no eye contact. And yet, you can seemingly relay thoughts to your assistant.

This method is ideal for close up situations and with a bit of audience management can easily be adapted to a parlor situation too.

The effect as it plays out from the audience point...

Die äusserst überzeugende und täuschende Präsentation eines Klassikers.

Der Vorführende berichtet, wie er als Anfänger von einem Falschspieler hereingelegt wurde. Dieser zeigte drei Riesenkarten vor, eine Dame, einen König und ein Ass. Der Vorführende sollte Geld auf eine Karte setzen. Er setzte 10 Euro auf den König, diesen stellte der Falschspieler beiseite, die beiden anderen Karten daneben. Als er die einzelne Karte umdrehte, war es jedoch nicht der König, sondern die Dame, und der Vorführende verlor. Nun setzte der Vorführende 20 Euro auf das Ass, an der Stelle des Asses...
