Magic & Conjuring: page 365

This is one of the most amazing things you will ever see. Looks like real mind-reading. A spectator is given a copy of a newspaper. It can be your local paper. The paper is not gimmicked in any way. The spectator chooses a paragraph from the front page. No force. He reads the first few words and spells each word to himself. The magician instantly reveals the words the person read. This is a little-known principle that Al Mann developed in 1979 that will fool magicians.

It's a show-stopper. Use any newspaper. No pre-show, done on the spot with any person. Can be done long-distance over zoom calls....

[Note: You do not need to own volume 1 to be able to perform the routines explained here.

Welcome to volume 2 of my Billets for the Modern Mindreader course. You will learn three switches and three routines for close-up, parlor, and stage situations, as well as casual settings.

Billet Chi (Nestor Dee): Probably the holy grail of predictions with billets. Borrow three business cards and you can do the routine. Trust me, this is great.

Telepathy Plus (Theodore Annemann): A classic revisited. A three-phase mind-reading routine. (Also doable with three borrowed business cards.)

S.E.E. (Julien Losa): A practical and quick routine to get...

With Souvenirs d'Italie I have wanted to remember and celebrate the old, beloved tourist postcards that were the backdrop to everyone's holidays, those who lived them and those who received them indirectly, almost as an achievement for a promise kept.

Souvenir d'Italie is an effect that makes it possible to make an impossible prediction: one Italian city out of the eight depicted on the postcard is chosen, or even only thought of, by a spectator, who holds them in a bunch in his hands.

The spectator will have to distribute them face down on the table, covered by their respective place...

Con Souvenir d'Italie ho voluto ricordare e celebrare le vecchie, care cartoline turistiche che hanno fatto da contorno alle vacanze di tutti, di chi le viveva e di chi, in modo indiretto le riceveva, quasi come una conquista per una promessa mantenuta.

Souvenir d'Italie è un effetto che permette di fare una previsione impossibile, una città italiana tra le otto raffigurate in cartolina, è scelta o comunque solo pensata da uno spettatore, che le tiene in un mazzetto, tra le sue mani.

Lo spettatore le dovrà distribuire sul tavolo a faccia in giù, coperte dai rispettivi segnaposto,...

From the foreword by Will Goldston:

Hard to believe that eighty years have passed since the Stewart James card classic Further Than That was first published in Annemann's magazine, The Jinx. Card workers everywhere latched on to this intriguing, self-working mystery; the passing years have not dimmed its popularity one iota.

Just recently, Jon Racherbaumer released a very worthwhile compilation, Further More. Essential reading and yes, currently available through lybrary.com.

And now on offer, Further Than Expected from Australian card man and author Ian Baxter. This is a brand new, reconstructed approach that freely alters the proceedings while still maintaining the essential,...

Teaching a magic class is another way to generate income and promote yourself as a supportive magician. Community venues are always searching for programs such as this to host. They use these events to keep the community involved, provide productive activities for youth, and add additional services to their community programs.

This text outlines a basic magic class, provides materials you can use and can get you started with your first series of classes. Teaching a class will not pay as much as a large performance. But it still provides a solid base for income. A magic class can help fill...

A fascinating sleight-of-hand trick anyone can perform.

Here is a clever routine of real sleight-of-hand which can be performed "right under their noses" without years of tedious practice, without special equipment, and without mechanical aids. No trick thimbles are necessary and you can perform at any time and anywhere — before a large group or across the dinner table. Whether you’re seven or seventy, you’ll enjoy fooling people with this real "magic".

42 actual photographs of a professional magician's hands in action and full written descriptions show and tell you everything...

Deadlift! No ... not the heavy compound movement that works for multiple muscle groups. Instead, this is a hard-hitting piece of mentalism that looks very clean. It is a hands-off impossible card divination that can be done with any regular deck and no gimmicks.

You riffle shuffle the cards. While your back is turned they cut to a card, they memorize it, and they bury it somewhere in the deck. You turn around, and with 100% accuracy, you can go through the cards and remove their thought-of card.

To perform this effect, you will need a very small setup that takes only a few seconds. ...

With Bending Minds 2 continues the collection of effects centered on the principle of the binary system, according to a new and innovative vision. From this second volume on, not only playing cards will be used to tell our magical stories, but also simple notes or some business cards.

We present four more effects, two with cards and two with notes, with a number of elements varying from 4 to 8. Throughout the course of the effect, the cards are subject to a dynamic, the positions are constantly changing, each time in a different way. Even more than in the first volume you will be able to...

Two outstanding effects. The first effect is totally impromptu and can be done with a borrowed shuffled deck. It is completely hands-off. This is an impossible location that will fool even fellow magicians. You will get phenomenal reactions from your spectators.

The second effect is called the spectator's revenge because he will find his own card. This is a really fun and surprising routine.

Everything is explained in detail. You may need to buy something extra in order to perform the second effect - Spectator's revenge.

The Super Memory Act is a fascinating mash-up of a traditional mentalism demonstration with the excitement of a 10-in-1 sideshow attraction ... yet, there's a trick to it that makes it easy for you to do.

In this hard-to-find manuscript, Dr. Dejay Ward reveals the secrets of his miracle memory act, with which he has amazed audiences for more than 30 years. When played to today's audiences, you'll discover that the miracle mind act is as fresh today as it was when first presented. This routine also plays well for the professional public speaker who uses a "you can do anything with your mind"...

Propless T.O.P stands for Propless Tossed Out Places. And it makes use of a "topless prop". Suitable venues are virtual shows and stage shows where audience members are from about 20 to about 2000 numbers. You can perform this as a purely propless effect or as an 'almost' propless effect using the "topless prop". This works great as both an opener or a closer. Propless TOP can also be adapted very easily to close up and parlor shows.

The method is completely self-working and presentation is the key. You can play this in a 'tossed out deck' effect style or you can also play this as a pseudo...

You show four red-backed aces clearly and individually from both sides. A turn of the packet and suddenly you hold the four kings with blue backs.

Here you have a very deceptive False Shuffle based on Jay Ose's False Cut. You will see two versions in the demo. Look carefully; it will fool you. You will be able to keep the entire deck in order.

Wesley James has done it again! While no single volume could include every multiple lift technique that has been shared in magic's vast literature, anyone that performs card magic needs the powerful tool multiple lifts can offer. Simply stated, this is the single most extensive work on multiple lifts ever created. No list could be fully comprehensive, but you'll find an abundance of techniques referenced in the exhaustive bibliography. You'll also discover as much multiple lift information as has ever been placed between two covers, and more.

Everyone who performs card magic needs to...

Dr. Q not only tells you how to describe objects in detail after having been heavily blindfolded with cotton pads and heavy adhesive tapes, but he also tells you how to present the act in its most effective fashion and what to say while presenting it.

Yes, here is the whole secret of this act, described in detail, plus complete patter and presentation. Half dollars (borrowed and unprepared) may first be placed over the eyelids. Then more than half a dozen strips of adhesive tape are placed over the eyes and pressed down tightly at all points. (Tape is also unprepared and may be borrowed.)...
