Magic & Conjuring: page 120

This ebook explains in detail the true, tried and tested card control methods (basic moves & gaffs) that professional magicians use in real performance situations --- "the real stuff, not the fluff".

While performing for the big money and a regular audience, professionals don’t leave much to chance. The working conditions, whether it’s an inside or outside environment, may cause sweaty hands (too hot & humid), stiff fingers (too cold) or dry hands (overly warm). These conditions are anticipated by simplifying a routine for real-world applications / preventions, such as the use of gaff...

This ebook contains three effects from Devin Knight that are about as close to real mindreading as you can get.

TAROT FOLD TOLD

An ungimmicked Tarot Deck is shown and given to anyone to shuffle. Four people are invited to come forward. They remove the top five cards from the shuffled Tarot Deck and arrange them face up on a table in any order. They do this while you are across the room and CAN NOT SEE THE CARDS. Each person is asked to just think of one of the cards. They say nothing and write nothing down. Everyone could be thinking of the same card or each person could be thinking of...

Ever since Obie O'Brien brought Aldo Colombini to the FFFF convention many years ago, it has been a love affair between Aldo and magic in America. While Aldo can do some of the hardest moves, he has developed a unique style of strong magic with little sleight-of-hand. The kind that is entertaining to watch and fun to perform. None of the material is hard to do, yet will fool any audience, including those hard to please magicians themselves.

It is hard to miss Aldo, both in person (6' 5"), and in magic, because he has written for many magazines, performed and lectured throughout the world...

John Ramsay was known for his clever use of misdirection. Probably his most famous quote is

"I work alone, but I have an invisible assistant—Miss Direction."—John Ramsay

His use of misdirection was so good that he often badly fooled his fellow magicians. Ramsay was a sleight-of-hand master with coins and thimbles, but worked essentially with all objects including cards, ropes and cups and balls. Lots of clear line drawings by Ralph O. Evans.

Did you know that Doug Henning and his Broadway play, "The Magic Show", was not a new idea? Do you know about the hundred or more years of Magic Plays that preceded Doug's triumph? If you truly are a magician, you should know all about the background of your hobby or profession - and here's a very pleasant way to find out about it.

Sam Sharpe (M.I.M.C.) has done extensive research to produce this volume, The Magic Play. 150 pages of absorbing reading, all about the use of magic in dramatic plays, what tricks were used, what famous personages used them, where they were used, how they were...

PHASE ONE: You borrow some change from a volunteer, write down a prediction, and have them keep the prediction in their pocket. They make incredibly fair choices with this change, deciding which hand each coin should go while your back is turned. (No, there is no equivoque or magician's choice.) After all choices are made, they open the prediction and it matches perfectly! (While the prediction will always match, a segment of phase one can lead to a wrong call, but Dustin provides a way to handle this gracefully.)

PHASE TWO: They randomly select one of the coins and place it in either their...

Music and memories are made for each other. In Sean's routine, Symphony, he explores the power of associations. In this succinct ebook, Sean describes a manner to have a participant create an association in his mind with some familiar childhood tunes. In spite of the delightful freedom provided by the structure the performer will be able to reveal the thought-of tune; accurately and in memorable fashion. This routine is simple and easy to perform but resonates with power. This is a routine you will love to perform.

[Note that this routine is English language dependent.]

Endorsements:

"Sean's work is always strong, practical, and commercial....

EFFECT:

The mystery worker offers to share an experience in harmonious action with a E.S.P. testing symbol deck. The participant and the performer each are given ten Zener symbols cards. Three times randomly chosen Zener cards match, culminating in a unison of word and deed.

DETAILS:

This routine is created for "special" Zener cards, but can be performed with genuine Zener/Rhine symbol decks, with a slight compromise. This uses only the symbols from a single pack and requires nothing extra. This is a genuine (feeling) demonstration of synchronicity. You will love it. Sean promises. ...

8 excuses to hand out business cards

Accurate - Based on Andrew Gerrad's Accuracy, it's different but impromptu. 3 objects are hidden one in each hand and one in a card box. And the performer deduces the location of each of those objects.

B4 Esperience - This is how Esperience used to look like before what it is now.

Dismantle - Spectator reads the thoughts of another spectator.

A beautifully illustrated ebook on tables and side stands for you to build. Gene Gloye uses the tag line, "without drapes", because all the tables described are used in many ways, but without cloth drapes.

The various multi-panel and single panel tables described in detail, with easy to follow building plans, often have diabolically clever "black art wells" and other secret devices.
