Simplicity Aces ComebackIan BaxterA new approach to the Stewart James classic Simplicity Four Ace Trick. First appearing in print in Ralph W. Hull's book More Eye Openers, Jean Hugard wasted no time in grabbing it for Encyclopedia Of Card Tricks; it also ended up in John Northern Hilliard's mammoth book Greater Magic, along with a number of other texts as well. The straightforward plot involves the four Aces of the pack assembling in one heap, following a careful separation from other cards. Economy of movement is top of the list here, buoyed by an absence of sleights and very easy moves. Within reach of any card handler, beginner or expert. And now, years down the track, Ian Baxter offers this... | $8 to wish list | |

Card Magic: a Svengali Deck RoutineDr. John D. BainThe Svengali deck of cards is a specially prepared deck of playing cards (Poker-sized or Bridge-sized) that can be used by magicians or entertainers to perform various tricks. The deck and the tricks performed with it are assisted by its unique design and require almost no skill. It is based on a very old principle of entertaining deception and confidence game manipulation. The cards of the deck can be flipped or riffled to create the illusion that the deck is completely ordinary. It can even be apparently mixed and shuffled. The trick involves a spectator choosing a card from the deck and... | ★★★★★ $2.99 to wish list | |
Magie Magnete MotorenHerbert-Martin PauflerPaufler, von Beruf Ingenieur, war ein Meister der szenischen Mikromagie. Er war einer der Ersten die Elektronik in die Methodik der Zauberkunst einfließen ließen. Diese Publikation ist daher eine der wenigen Zauberpublikationen in denen man elektronische Schaltungsdiagramme findet. Für den Elektronikbegeisternden ist es eine wahre Schatztruhe. Auszug aus dem Vorwort von Hans Marian: Dieses Buch ist magisches Neuland! Sein Wert wird wahrscheinlich erst nach Jahren oder gar Jahrzehnten voll erkannt und gewürdigt werden, denn es eilt mit seinen genialen Grundideen der Zeit weit voraus.... | $12 to wish list | |

Card Tricks You Will DoRufus SteeleThis is a collection of self-working and very easy card effects. Rufus Steele has released several other publications along this line. Check them out. Excerpt from the foreword: Tricks with a pack of cards afford one of the easiest and most interesting forms of entertainment in existence. They are amazing and mysterious to those who witness them, yet they are within the ability of everyone. The idea that long practice and exceptional skill are necessary in the performance of card tricks is erroneous.

Unknown SlydiniD. Angelo FerriSlydini's major routines take a lot of time to learn. But Slydini wanted his students to be able to go out and perform magic sooner to work on the performance and presentational aspects of their magic. To enable this he would teach his students from time to time smaller tricks which one could learn quicker but which often still incorporated one or the other of his fundamental principles of magic. This is a collection of these smaller tricks Slydini taught Dennis. They are a great gateway into the magic of Slydini because they do not require large commitments of time and effort to be mastered, yet they... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

Casino CashMark LeveridgeA deck of cards is spread and freely displayed back and front. Four cards are selected at random by a spectator and then placed in a fan on the table. A snap of the fingers and when the fan is lifted, four coins are seen to have instantly appeared underneath. As a lead in to a four coin matrix routine this is ideal as it creates an unexpected and sleight free intro. You just need a regular deck, which you need to prepare once (takes about 15 minutes), and four small coins (10ps or US quarters). Remember – no palming or sleight of hand is required.

The Accursed LetterMystic AlexandreSo what is The Accursed Letter? I thought you'd never ask ... It's a believable, chilling, well written letter, penned a long time ago by Rollo the Rollicking, carnival clown, that when read, will curse your friends! Imagine the fun as you say ... "Oh my God, you have to read this!" And when they do, they will realize they have relieved you of a curse that is now upon them. So fun. I was at a party recently where this letter was passed around to about ten people. It's effective at work, too (careful with joyless HR). How about family gatherings? Halloween goes without saying.

The Old-Time Train GamblerGeorge Jean NathanStories of card and revolver play, told by a man who "worked" the trains with his confederates in the days when stakes ran high. If one believes this account, then a lot of the crooked gambling on trains was simply theft at gunpoint rather than sophisticated sleight-of-hand card advantage play. 1st edition 1910, PDF 7 pages. | $3.50 to wish list | |
The Aluminum DaggerR. Austin FreemanEngineers will like the resolution of this locked room mystery. Dr. John Evelyn Thorndyke, a former medical doctor who became a forensic investigator of crimes, has to deal with murder behind locked doors. The only clue he has is an aluminum dagger shoved into the back of the victim. One of the unique aspects of detective stories by R. Austin Freeman is that Freeman personally tested the methods described in his stories. The top floor of his house was a workshop and laboratory where he could try out and investigate sometimes arcane scientific knowledge from areas such as tropical medicine,... | $2.99 to wish list | |
Dreamwork 2Jon RacherbaumerThis short compilation follows on the heels of another compilation titled Dreamwork. Both relate to Bob Hummer's "The Midreader's Dream." Bob Hummer introduced to the magic world many interesting principles and effects. One of the first to make a splash was introduced in 1952. The dreamy dealer ad seemed too good to be true: A spectator merely thinks of a card and then performs a few, unseen dealing procedures with a deck of cards. The magician, whose back was turned throughout these actions, turns and faces the spectator. He takes the deck, briefly scans the cards, and consults a "dream book." He then names... | ★★★★★ $16 to wish list | |

Visually change a mini card that is stapled to your card case. Heal burn marks on signed cards and the box. Make your spectators visually see the deck expand, so much so it won't fit back in the box.

CCC End PhaseKen MullerA unique approach to the extraction of the last coin from cord for a Charming Chinese Challenge Routine or similar magic presentation. The extraction occurs in the hands of two spectators after being inspected by several others as the coin being actually on the cord. This end-phase is cleaner and "stronger magic" than traditional methods but does require mastering new sleights and experienced audience management skills. NEW END EFFECT: A single Chinese coin swings from the end of a doubled cord like a pendulum following a series of effects where a coin was magically extracted for the... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
DerbyToni KoyniniA "Horse Race" in which you always win under impossible conditions.

Found Cassette TapeMystic AlexandreUnsettle anyone who owns a pack of cards! You bought a box of vintage things in an estate sale and inside the box you found a creepy old cassette tape. You managed to find a tape player and what you heard was somewhat unsettling causing you to go quickly look at the pack of playing cards you have sitting on your coffee table. It's apparently a recording of some kind of preacher responding to a friend who wrote him a letter, concerned that his daughter was getting into playing cards. As you know, playing cards are sinful, evil, and the Devil's work. They're not called the Devil's Pasteboards... | ★★★★★ $6.66 to wish listPDF & MP3 | |
CourtskillIan BaxterA new approach to the Stewart James classic Miraskill. Theo Annemann's journal The Jinx, September 1936, was where Miraskill was first published. Subsequently reprinted in various books and magazines over the years, this Stewart James creation still baffles one and all. The years have not dulled the remarkable impact it can have on today's audiences. Courtskill is a brand-new version of Miraskill. Australian card man Ian Baxter has concocted a totally new version, with some very distinct advantages. Barely half the deck is used, trimming the performance time considerably, not to mention a surprise approach involving court... | $8 to wish list | |
