Magic & Conjuring: page 99

Here you have thirteen effects with a ring and a rope, both ordinary. Aldo does not recommend to perform all 13 in a row as it may be too long of a routine, but select the ones you like and create your own sequence.

Ring and rope effects are always popular with any audience. They take little room in your pocket or performing table and are always ready to go. Both routines are also available as a download DVD of the same name: Still Ringing Around (download DVD)

1st edition 2011; 17 pages.

Practical effects with cards, flowers and silks. Here is Verrall Wass in his own words about the motivation of this book:

First advertised as The New Conjurors' Magazine and dropped the word "New" after Vol 1, No. 1. Houdini's brother, Hardeen, helped get this magazine launched, but he passed away shortly after the magazine started. It was selected as the official organ for the Magician's Guild of America. It eventually changed hands to Ed Dart in 1947 (Volume 4, #10), with Robert Lund as editor (Gibson still continued as a columnist).

Genii magazine absorbed The Conjurors' Magazine and from November, 1949 until 1974 as Genii became Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine. It was eventually changed to Genii The International Conjurors'...

If you are planning to add an illusion to your show this is required reading.

Is this ebook for me? Here is David in his own words:

Die Magische Notizen war die Vereinszeitschrift der Zauberfreunde Berlin. Sie wurde zwischen Februar 1982 und September 2001 publiziert - 1149 Seiten, 40 Ausgaben in 20 Jahrgaengen. Mehrere fantastische Schmankerln befinden sich in dieser Zeitschrift.

This is one of the earliest publications which has Burling Hull's Svengali deck described. Hull called it originally the "Cards Mysterious". Even in this early publication he complains about unauthorized copies being sold by unscrupulous dealers. A hundred years later and nothing has changed. We still have magic retailers and manufacturers producing and selling illegal and unauthorized copies of magic products.

One thing has changed though over the last 100 years - the use of Bicycle cards. Hull writes:

"Stellar, practical and definitely holds it's weight on deserving to be on the market." - Lloyd Barnes (The Magic Cafe)

"The effect here is brilliant and fits into so many different areas of performance. The ability to transfer the effect from cards to photos is what did it for me. Im obsessed with photo magic and this will be a great one to add to the mix! it truly rocks!" - Jamie Daws (Phantasm, Scared)

"This is truly brilliant and well worth the money." - Darren61 (The Magic Cafe)

The Ashes concept is a combination of versatile gimmicks...

A spectator forms a five-figure number from freely chosen digits. The mentalist successfully divines the spectator's number.

"some very clever thinking" - Banachek

• Completely impromptu!
• No force of digits or number.
• No complicated calculations or difficult memory work.
• No props or gimmicks - just pen and paper.
• No peeks necessary.
• Works every time.
• Can be performed over the phone.
• Clever mathematical principle.
• Concept can be used to develop other routines.
• Includes a browser App (for computer, tablet or smartphone) which guides you through the process (no memory of calculation...

The ultimate assembly!

Four Kings are placed on the table and three cards are placed onto them. The first King vanishes and now you have two Kings in the second packet. They vanish and you now have three Kings on the third packet. They vanish and in the fourth packet you have….the four Aces! The Kings are found on top of four other packets!

Routine with cards that you will use. Includes Aldo's famous Jumbo Coincidence with a cut in half packet of jumbo cards. Special guest appearance by Cameron Francis who performs his two effects.

• ACES UP (Lin Searles): The four Aces are lost in the deck and they reappear on top.
• LOST AND FOUND (Nick Trost): You find a selected card under impossible conditions after the spectator shuffles the deck.
• JOKER DILEMMA (Aldo Colombini): A card matches your prediction and the whole deck turns out to be all Jokers.
• CARD LIE SPELLER (Marty Kane): One of the best versions of the 'Lie Detector' theme.
• A 'LESSEN' IN DISHONESTY...

Eine mentalmagische Methode, von der Sie nie glauben würden, dass sie funktioniert – es sei denn Sie haben die „Eier dazu in der Hose“!

Im Grunde handelt es sich dabei um eine No-Budget Variante des berühmten Master Prediction Systems, das alle unheimlich toll finden, sich aber die wenigsten leisten können:

Take a bit of “Miraskill,” a twist each of Mirabill and “A View To A Skill” and mix with “Minimal Miraskill.” Between Stewart James, Herb Zarrow, John Bannon and Dr. Bill, you will have one of the strongest effects possible to perform over the telephone.

The good doctor had been seeking a way to perform Mirabill over the phone ever since its release but it seemed impossible. Until now.

Telephone Bill looks and sounds different than any of the above but utilizes James’s original brilliant principle and is every bit as squeaky-clean as Mirabill. Live and in person it is mind bending. But over the phone? Your audience...

A method in mentalism so bold you will never believe it works – unless you have the balls!

So what is Balls?

Basically it is a no-budget version of the famous Master Prediction System, that everybody loves but only the pros are able to afford:

A sealed cardboard box is seen standing in full view or hanging from a stand – it can also be given to an audience member at the beginning of the show. Random people call out random things: dates, the amount of money in their pocket, holiday destinations – whatever you (or they) like.

The box is retrieved and opened by a spectator. Inside...

Please note that PRR is a psychological guidance done on a subject. You will not find in this ebook any moves or other sleight of hand. If you don't like psychological effects, then this it not for you.

PRR 1.0

The performer asks a spectator to think of any card, no psychological forces are used, no deck is used, it is a totally free selection, and the spectator never writes anything down. Once the spectator has made up his mind, the performer takes the spectator's hand and makes him see the card he thought of down on his palm; after that the performer reveals the card the spectator was...

Material for parlor and stage, easy to do and very strong. You can create one or two complete acts from this.

• STAGE PRESENCE (Aldo Colombini): Uses jumbo cards and with these cards you reveal a mentally selected card.
• JUMBO (Aldo Colombini): You make a kind of airplane with the deck and at the end you reveal a selected card (that falls from the airplane!) and the four Aces.
• WEIGHT GUESS (Tom Hubbard): A spectator cuts a packet of...

A classic Ted Lesley headline prediction mystery:

• no expensive gimmicks (everything can easily and cheaply be made at home)
• not stooges (strictly a one man effect)
• no billet knives or visible gimmicks
• clean and devastating effect

A chest with a prediction in it, is mailed to the place of performance two weeks prior to the performance date. The committee gives the chest to the mayor or the chief of police to guard. They try to tie up with the local media for publicity coverage.

On the night of the performance the chest is brought to the theater where it is opened by...

"I finally had a chance to read Bill’s wonderful book on pendulums. Without a doubt, this is the best book ever written on the subject. I recommend it without reservation to anyone who is serious about this type of work." - Bob Cassidy

This is an ebook test. Yes, not a book test done with actual paper copies, but rather a book test done with ebooks, PDF ebooks that is. The advantage here is that you can perform it wherever you have your smartphone, tablet or iPad with you. (For another ebook test see Dracula Ebook Test.)
