Epic Flight(Benny) Ben Harris![]() The odd scientific principle discovered by Harris in 1980 makes an amazing coin transposition possible! Two coins are displayed. One is marked with a large cross with a permanent marker and a spectator confirms that the cross will not rub off the coin. In full view, the marked coin and the plain coin transpose through the back of a spectator’s own hand. Fully examinable, easy to do. The scientific principle makes it all work.

Hoodwink(Benny) Ben Harris![]() Hoodwink is based on the author's own effect, "Prime Hole Card" from 1983. It became a best-seller when re-released in 1999.

Hoodwink is not designed to replace, or to in any way compete with, the fine crop of "quarter by quarter" restorations that are making the rounds. Instead,... | ★★★★★ $10.95 to wish list | |

This and That(Benny) Ben Harris![]() The best-seller from 1986 is back. You predict in advance which card will be named! Easy and fun. This and That was a big seller back in the mid 1980's when the "Oscar" and "Phil" craze were at their peaks. A spectator names any card (free choice) and you display that your deck has marked backs. They are all marked like "THIS" you say as you display cards in the deck as having the word "THIS" written on it's back. That's every card, but one. The selected card, on the other hand, has the word "THAT" written on it's back. Proving you know "this from that!" Super easy to make at home... | ★★★★★ $6.95 to wish list | |
Spellbound to PleaseR. Paul Wilson![]() Scotland's top sleight-of-hand artist gives up one of his pet routines. It looks like real magic. A copper coin changes to a silver coin and back several times. Surprisingly there are no really difficult moves.

Tradeshow TranspositionPaul Green![]() A working pro teaches you his most sought-after tradeshow stopper. Two spectators choose a card, they are lost in the deck. The performer places two cards into each spectator's hand. He thinks they are the correct selections but they are not. Magically they transform in the correct selections. Mark explains how it is done but does not show the details of the moves he uses. You will need to be able to control a card to the top and be able to perform a double lift. That is all you need.

Psychic InfluenceMark Strivings![]() Predict a matched pair from a spectator shuffled deck. The deck can be freely shuffled and cut as often as the spectator wishes.

Nevertheless, the effect is strong. Recorded live at the Convention at the Capital 1999. runtime: 17min 40s | $6 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

Anti TarotSimon J. Lea![]() A reading system with playing cards This effect is entitled Anti Tarot for two reasons. Firstly, it dispenses with tarot cards, using playing cards instead; secondly, the most important card in the reading is never seen by the reader. Instead of reading the cards and telling the spectator what should happen to them, the reader hears what has happened to the spectator and tells them what their chosen card should be.

Acting for MagiciansRichard L. Tenace![]() A practical workbook for the serious performer. One of the main reasons magicians neglect the "acting" part of magic is because magic is such a demanding discipline to learn. A performing magician wears many hats. The magician has to learn sleights, misdirection and technical prowess of the hands. The magician is the choreographer, writer, sound person, booker and promoter of his show. Learning how to develop a character often takes a back seat because "there's no time to do everything!" But taking the time to learn how to develop a real character, or stage persona, is the most important... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish listPDF_facsimile | |
