Make yourself this impossible looking card case. Additionally Tom teaches you wonderful tricks with it.

"Amazing. A twist that no one saw coming!" - Ben Harris

• Card to Hypercase: A participant selects a card which is then lost in the deck. The performer displays the closed, empty hypercase and stands it upright on its short edge on the table, with its interior facing the crowd. He riffles the deck behind the hypercase, causing it to fall forward onto the table. He declares that the participant's card is no longer in the deck. He spreads the deck face up on the table. The participant doesn't see...

This is a completely new and improved implementation of the famous Al Stanger Miracle Poker Machine. It is based on Gaetan Bloom's superior routine for this miracle. The first phase of the Bloom routine is now customizable and requires zero mental work - an improvement to an already astonishingly clean and clever and easy to perform routine.

Here is a brief outline of the effect: A spectator selects 5 cards from a regular deck of cards. (The deck is not gimmicked in any way and can be a borrowed one.) Four of these cards are entered by the spectator into the Miracle Poker Machine. A fifth...

This is a woman empowered card trick. The spectator (preferably a woman) randomly selects a group of cards from the middle of the deck and deals them into four face-down piles. The top card of each pile is turned over to reveal the four Kings. Suddenly she finds the matching Queens. Sounds familiar, right? But this routine goes one further. When all the cards under the Queens are spread, they are of matching suits. This trick is free of any sleights.

Continuing with even more pro-quality close-up and platform effects, here's a worthy second volume of Berland's exclusive magic. Long out of print, this collection includes several miracles that Berland sold separately through magic dealers the world over.

Partial contents:

• A Blockbuster Opening - A very colorful and surprising "Opening Trick" that can be performed under any conditions.
• Routine for the Coin Through Borrowed Handkerchief - A handkerchief is apparently cut and restored. Also included is a variation of the trick in which a leaking fountain pen adds a hilarious comedy situation. ...

The "Free Cut Principle" was first discovered by John P. Hamilton and published in 1948 in The Eyes of the Gods. Gene Finnell independently discovered the same principle two decades later and published several applications of it in his Free Cut Principle booklet in 1967. Since then many card tricks have been created to make use of it. It does not require any dexterity, nor is it hard to understand once you know how it works. Nevertheless, it is very effective and practical for a range of applications.

• Free Cut Principle
• #1 Coincidence?
• #2 Togetherness
• #3 Togetherness Repeat
• #4 Caught Between
• #5 Caught Between...

A mentalism effect, also possible at a distance (in video chat or just on the telephone), in which you will incredibly succeed to guess, at the end of the experiment, where the card thought by the spectator is found among four ones freely chosen by him, even though you will never see the cards and never know if he decided to lie or not when answering the three simple questions you will ask him.

Key points:

• Simple and fun to perform in any situation, including remote phone call
• It does not require any memory effort
• A visual and immediate method always allows the performer to identify...

This is a detailed description of Keith Clark's 'Phoenix plot' routine, where a cigarette gets destroyed but somehow is recreated - as it were it rises like Phoenix from its ashes.

Paul Fleming wrote:

Here is the effect: a spectator has a packet of 5 cards. For argument's sake, let's assume the five cards used are simply numbered 1-5 (the actual make up of the cards is up to your imagination). The spectator goes through a procedure in which cards are turned face up, face down, left as they are, the packet is cut, some-times the spectator decides whether the cards are turned over or not, sometimes the performer decides. But in the end, no matter who made the decisions, or which decisions were made, only the center card is face up and it is the 4. Not only that, but no matter what decisions...

Card Mentalism is a collection of simple but effective mentalism effects with cards. These effects have been field tested and require no complicated moves to execute leaving you, the performer, to concentrate solely on your presentation.

The effects included in this PDF are:

ANIMAL PREDICTION: A cute mentalism effect involving cards bearing animal pictures on them. Although the cards are mixed by the spectator both he and the mind reader end up on the identical animal card as if by coincidence.

ESTIMATION: A deck of playing cards is introduced and shuffled. A spectator is instructed...

This article succinctly critiques the Milton Franklin Andrews case, and introduces us to two at the time new suspects, James DeWitt Andrews and Edwin Sumner Andrews.

This article first appeared in the 1999 December issue of Magic Magazine, except for this release Richard Hatch added two pages introductory notes to better frame his article in the historical context of the hunt for Erdnase. The article is also essentially the talk Richard gave at the 1999 Los Angeles Conference on Magic History.

Eine sehr gute Einführung wie man mit Magischen Quadraten den größt möglichen Erfolg als Künstler erziehlt. Peter Wilker war Universtäts Professor für Mathematik, jedoch braucht man fast keine Mathematik zu können um den klaren und einfachen Erklärungen folgen zu können. Einfaches Kopfrechnen ist alles was man können muß.

• Epilog

Eine Prise Humor

Viele Kunststücke unterhalten das Publikum durch ihren verblüffenden Effekt, sind aber für sich selber nicht lustig. Das Zerreißen und Wiederganzmachen einer Zeitung gehört etwa dazu wie auch die meisten Manipulationen. Manchmal lassen sich aber durch kleine Änderungen ernsthafte Effekte in humorvolle verwandeln, ohne daß sie an Substanz verlieren. In dieser Studie werden drei Beispiele dafür beschrieben: eine Vorhersage, die fast schiefgeht, Geistertafeln, bei denen die Zuschauer fast merken, wie sie funktionieren und ein "Bank Night"-Effekt, bei dem ein Zuschauer...
