Effect: A few cards bearing names of different countries are handed over to a spectator. He is instructed to mix the cards in a face down manner and to place the cards face down on the table. After the spectator has completed shuffling, the performer places an envelope containing a prediction on the table and hands over a playing die to the spectator. The die is rolled and the top spot on the die is noted. The cards are now picked up by the spectator and based on the top most number on the die all the cards are discarded except one.

Aus dem Vorwort:
Mit diesem Werk möchte ich Ihnen einen Überblick über das Lebenswerk von Tony Lackner geben. Tony war bestimmt der bedeutendste Trickgerätehersteller und Erfinder der letzten Jahrzehnte. Auch zahllose Verbesserungen von Zaubergeräten sind auf seinen Ideenreichtum zurückzuführen. Ich kann Ihnen natürlich in erster Linie nur die Tricks aufführen, die er für die Zauberbutike gefertigt hat. Aber die sind zahlreich genug. Fast zu allen diesen Kunststücken erhalten Sie ein Farbfoto und die Beschreibung, die von mir dazu geliefert wurde.

"One of the greatest card tricks ever invented." - George AndersonMiraskill came into being in 1935 when Stewart James self-marketed it. According to him, only one copy was sold. But it leaked out and Dr. Jacob Daley demonstrated it to Ted Annemann, who eventually published it in the Jinx, which was the starting point for much thought and commentary by other clever minds. ..."It fooled the hell out of me!" - Ted Annemann
"Without any possible doubt, Stewart James' 'Miraskill' is one of the greatest self-working card effects to have appeared in print. Apart from its own value, it is the ideal prelude to 'Out of this World'." - Peter Warlock

In submitting this, my latest contribution, for the perusal of the magical fraternity, my aim has been to combine practicability with originality.

"Again the Unknown Mentalist makes it all known. This is a brilliant, almost intuitive, application of a great effect. It also includes options and steps to truly make it personalized. I love this." - Marc SalemPin Pricks is an underground term for PIN reveals or divinations. And Propless Pin Pricks is just that - a set of absolutely propless methods to divine PIN numbers."This is a very nice pin revelation using a well known method perfectly disguised." - Luca Volpe
The effect from the participant's view: The performer gives his locked phone to the participant to hold. Then the performer...
Imagine that an airline has lost your luggage, your props, and even your wallet ... yet you have a theater show to give in just a few days. What would you do?
This informative ebook explains how you can enter any strange city, cold turkey, without a cent in your pocket, without a bit of magical equipment to your name, and rent a large auditorium, put out publicity and advertising, pay your hotel and living expenses and prepare a sensational, full-evening magic show that will send your audience away happy and satisfied, and fill your pocket with cash.
Nothing is left to chance. The entire...
The four aces are openly removed and tossed onto the table. A card is chosen by the spectator and lost in the deck. The spectator chooses either the red or black aces to proceed. Let us assume he chose the red aces. The magician proclaims that as he waves the red aces over the deck, the chosen card will appear sandwiched between the aces. After a couple of attempts, nothing happens. Then the red aces turn into two jokers. When the deck is spread, the red aces are found reversed with the chosen card sandwiched between them. As a parting shot, the chosen card is found to be predicted on the back...
BEBEL: "Ambition Colorè"
One of the greatest in the world of card magic. The next "Guest of Honor" edition 2013 symposium presents its own unique effect.

Aus der Einleitung:
Was sind 'Highlights'? Um es auf einen möglichst kurzen Nenner zu bringen: Es handelt sich um die schönsten und besten Routinen, Kunststücke für Bühnen-, Party- und Tischzauberei und 'mikromagische Kostbarkeiten', die in den vergangenen Jahren in der Zauberbutike entstanden sind.
Un effetto di Mentalismo, possibile anche a distanza (in video chat o anche solo al telefono), in cui riuscirete incredibilmente ad indovinare al termine dell'esperimento dove si trovi la carta pensata dallo spettatore tra quattro da lui scelte liberamente, nonostante non vediate mai le carte ne sappiate se abbia mentito o meno rispondendo alle tre semplici domande che gli porrete!
Punti chiave:
Here's an astounding collection of 50 entertaining methods of producing one or more colorful silk scarves in your magic act. Perhaps the most comprehensive collection ever published. Includes methods requiring no props, some with gimmicks that you can make at home, and a nice section on apparatus that you likely already have (or can buy from a dealer) that explains the basic principles involved.
Audiences love effects using silks and handkerchiefs. Make those tricks appear even more magical by producing the scarf from thin air instead of simply picking it up from a table. A true compendium...

A retrospective look at Dai Vernon's Five-Card Mental Force.
Lifecraft is a quick, solid feel good routine. The main routine is pure mind reading and there is an optional second phase too. This effect can be done face to face or in a virtual show. It can even be performed over a voice phone call.
The effect is flexible enough to be performed as a one off routine or as a part of a set. Very easy to learn and you can perform this almost as soon as you read this manuscript. No sleights, no stooges and no pre-show work. Nothing to reset as there is no set up at all. You are always ready to perform. Practically self working. Everything can be freely handled...
From the preface:
I wish to take this opportunity of correcting the impression of some of the younger magicians, who think that I am a professional magician and dealer. Such is not the case. I am not and never have been. I am just a humble conjurer, who practices magic and works for a living (no joke intended).
