EZ Torn & Restored CardKenton Knepper![]() Using only one card, this is probably the easiest and most deceptive Torn & Restored Card ever created. The ingenious creator of this is Ben Harris and he calls it Hoodwink. One could call this self-working, because all you do is fold, tear and open an ungimmicked card. It can't get any simpler and the effect is amazing. Kenton adds his clever suggestive words that let the spectator dig his own hole of astonishment.

The skill level ranges from complete self-working (Bannon's "Timely Departure") to difficult. (The cover image is misleading because not all performers shown on the cover are on this DVD.)

Master MentalityStanton Carlisle![]() Master Mentality is an important addition to the rather sparse literature available on the little-known subject of contact mind reading. Contact mind reading is generally believed to be almost impossible to practice and hard to learn. Stanton Carlisle demonstrates that this is not at all the case. His instructions share all the secrets of a successful performance and the techniques to learn and master this art. I consider this the most important work of Stanton Carlisle. He shares many bits and tips of the business of mentalism in general, not just the techniques and methods to become... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |
The Magic of ESPStanton Carlisle![]() Here are 25 tricks with ESP cards.

O'Daneven's SecretAl Mann![]() Effect: One to four spectators choose a design out of a choice of 16 designs. The performer either reads their minds or has their choices predicted in advance. The method is a clever combination of known mentalism principles. You will receive a manuscript of 7 pages explaining various routines for O'Daneven's Secret. You will also receive a printed cardboard similar to the cover image of this product. (This is the original print run Al Mann made. It is therefore an original Al Mann item.) To assemble the prop there is a bit of cutting and gluing necessary but nothing a second grader... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Mentalism De LuxeStanton Carlisle![]() Eight strong and wonderful mentalism routines. "Key Caper" for example is a completely ungimmicked version of Annemann's "Seven Keys To Baldpate". The method is simple and easy, a piece of beautiful clever mentalism. "Music in the Air" makes use of a cigarette lighter that plays a tune when lighted. I have never seen such lighters. They are probably out of fashion these days. However, the effect could very easily be modernized and used together with a ring-tone on a cellphone. The effect is the following. You show a packet of cards, each one has a different song title printed on it. Your... | ★★★★★ $9 to wish list | |

Modern LevitationsUlysses Frederick Grant![]() Five easy to build and practical levitations by the creative master of thrift, U.F. Grant. One could even be called an impromptu levitation because most supplies are available in a typical household. Every levitation is illustrated. Paul Fleming wrote: The "levitation" illusion has long been a favorite among magicians. Robert-Houdin featured it approximately a century ago, in the form of "The Aerial Suspension," which we saw presented effectively by William Neff only a year or two ago. Early in the Twentieth Century, Harry Kellar was performing "The Levitation of Princess Karnac," the greatest piece... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |

Magic in the Modern MannerOrville Wayne Meyer![]() This is a work most will not be familiar with. Many will dismiss it with 'another old magic book'. But those in the know have carefully studied it and hold it dear as one of the most valuable books for a working professional magician. It is the original and the only one of four places where Annemann's bullet catch is described, because it was Orville Meyer who supplied Annemann with the method. All the three other places where this is described are out of print and hard to impossible to find. And now this lost Orville Meyer gem has been made even more valuable by extensive annotations and a new... | ★★★★★ $50 to wish list | |
Ultimate Secrets of Card MagicLewis Ganson & Dai Vernon![]() This work was planned to be the last volume in Dai Vernon's Inner Card Secrets series. However, due to water damage caused by a fire the typed manuscript was lost. It took several years to recover from this mishap and therefore this last volume was originally published much later than the first three volumes (Inner Secrets of Card Magic, More Inner Secrets of Card Magic, Further Inner Secrets of Card Magic). The wait was justified because it was and still is one of the important works of card magic - now available as an ebook. No serious card man can exist without reading and studying this work. 1st edition 1967; original 246 pages; PDF 156 pages
