Imagine the performer going to a corner in any room, turning his back so he can’t see what is going on and having someone just point to a card from a deck spread face up on a table. With no verbal communication from his assistant, the performer then reveals the card.

He does this without seeing the deck and without the aid of secret electronics. The performer can be closely watched and nothing will be found to be amiss. This is a real fooler done under test conditions and will fool many magicians.

Full Effect: The mentalist or medium goes to a corner of the room and turns his back. He...

Showing that your deck is mixed and ordinary, you also show a card with a prediction written on the back. The spectator chooses a card completely at random, by rolling 1, 2 or 3 dice. You deal to their number (no force). When you reveal the prediction you have not only predicted their chosen card, but also what number they rolled on the dice.

You will need a blue and a red deck (or any two decks with matching faces but different backs) to make this yourself. No arts and craft, just a sharpie and a bit of writing. The dice are optional. You can use real dice, you can use a dice app on your...

One of the cleanest procedures imaginable at the service of a very fair impromptu prediction effect.

A spectator picks four cards from a shuffled deck and rearranges their order. (Free choices.) The magician correctly predicts if one of them matches his favorite card - on the table from the start - and its position in the packet.

Impromptu. Easy to do. Instant reset.

A beautifully illustrated ebook on tables and side stands for you to build. Gene Gloye uses the tag line, "without drapes", because all the tables described are used in many ways, but without cloth drapes.

The ebook begins with several pages of discussion on stage furniture and its possibilities, with illustrated advice on transporting it, plus storing it. The various multi-panel and single panel tables described in detail, with easy to follow building plans, often have diabolically clever "black art wells" and other secret devices. A "Night Club Table" is so simple and so useful, and so...

A rare and original manuscript that explains 13 tricks and routines using "cellophane" as the "main ingredient".

In an early issue of the Sphinx Grant wrote about this manuscript:

How to lasso a chosen card. Complete methodology as well as script and performance video included. Full performance rights allowed.

It is a version that makes sense. The magician explains that as a child at summer vacation, he learned how to lasso mosquitoes, and he got so good at it, that he learned to actually snap the knot for the lasso onto the rope mid-air. And he thought he'd turn that skill into a trick.

The magician has a card selected. This card is returned to the deck and shuffled by the spectator. After some byplay, the magician drops the cards into a paper bag, puts one end...

Effect: The performer shows a video that displays various card values. A spectator mentally selects one, then mentally tears off a corner of the selected card, and that card corner appears in the phone.

To perform this effect all you need is a phone that can play back an MP4 video. This is not an app and can therefore be performed on pretty much any modern smart phone. Please note that in most cases the card corner will appear in the video that is played back. In some cases the card corner will materialize as actual card corner.

Effekt: Der Künstler zeigt ein Video in dem die verschiedensten Kartenwerte aufgezeigt werden. Ein Zuschauer wählt davon einen gedanklich aus, reisst davon gedanklich eine Ecke ab, und diese erscheint im Handy.

Sie brauchen für diesen Effekt lediglich ein Handy dass ein MP4 Video abspielen kann. Es ist also keine app und kann damit auf jedem moderneren Handy vorgeführt werden. In den meisten Fällen erscheint die Kartenecke im abgespielten Video, in anderen Fällen materialisiert sich die Ecke und erscheint als tatsächliche Spielkartenecke.

Apparently link two cards in an ad hoc impromptu appearing fashion.

Effect: You take two cards and openly tear from each two rectangular windows. This leaves a frame and a center beam in each card. Then you magically link them at the center beam. At the end you separate them again and hand out both cards as souvenirs. The cards will show no tear in the center beam or around the frame. Everybody will wonder how you were able to link them. There is no secret exchange of cards. The two cards you start with are the two cards you end with.

This effect is best done in an off-hand impromptu setting...

This is a digital reproduction of a progressive anagram based book test. It includes a handwritten letter by Stanley Collins to a Will, the instructions, and the force book titled A Holiday in Morocco by S. Martin.

Effect: Spectator chooses three cards from a deck of cards. The first card determines the page, the second the line number, and the third the word. Spectator looks up the word in A Holiday in Morroco book. You are able to determine the chosen word letter by letter. Stanley Collins uses an alphabet deck to reveal each letter.

Paul Fleming wrote:

An approach to turn drive by cold calls into contracts for performances.

The hardest part of promoting our magic is making cold calls. As part of business, cold calls are done to get our name out. The goal is to prompt hiring committees/individuals to reach out to us before they open the doors to floods of entertainers searching for work.

This text will provide sample approaches, materials you need on hand and ways to introduce yourself to organizations. The focus is on your information and potentials your magic can support/enhance their events. A good cold call will place you in front...

Como Bob Cassidy escribe, quizás el "Viaje por la cuarta dimensión", basado en una invención de Theodore Annemann, sea uno de los mejores efectos de todos los tiempos: tres espectadores escriben otras tantas informaciones que nadie más puede conocer y sellan sus papeles en sendos sobres. El mentalista, mediante su concentración, es capaz de leerles la mente sin fallar. Y, por primera vez en este efecto, todos se pueden llevar sus papeles a casa de recuerdo si quieren.

Este libro es posiblemente el más completo en la materia: el estudio en profundidad incluye la historia del efecto y...

"Telepatia In Azione" è un libro straordinario, divenuto un vero e proprio classico per 'pochi eletti' nel campo del mentalismo. Si tratta di un numero di telepatia, in cui si fa uso di una particolare 'ipnosi/non ipnosi': infatti, benché non venga assolutamente utilizzata o nominata l'ipnosi nel corso dell'esibizione, gli effetti sono in tutto e per tutto simili a quelli di uno spettacolo di ipnosi da scena. Il tutto però viene presentato come 'condizionamento' mentale.

Ecco alcuni degli straordinari effetti possibili:
