Magic & Conjuring: page 213

• THE THIRD DIMENSION: In this triple-barreled test, you discover three thought-of symbols in a baffling manner.
• SYM-SATIONAL: Three spectators each peek at a symbol. The performer reads their minds and names each symbol.
• MILLION TO ONE ESP: One of the strongest routines with ESP cards. Five spectators each select five face-down cards apiece. At the end they find out they have selected one each of the five symbols.
• SYMBOL DISCERNMENT: In spite of not seeing the cards, you reveal how many of the spectator's selected symbols have been dealt and you are able to detect if a packet contains a...

• WILD ESP-RESSIONS (Aldo Colombini): You show two sets of ESP cards. You predict a choice of an ESP symbol (say the Star), then four different symbols change to blank cards and four letters appear on the back of four cards to spell the selected symbol: S-T-A-R!
• PERFECT (Jozsef Kovacs): Five (say) red-backed cards are used as predictions and are dealt onto five blue-packets, at random. If the red card is a Square, the other cards are all Squares, etc. Perfect match.
• ESP-ABILITY (Aldo Colombini): A deck is shown all shuffled and a spectator deals the cards switching pairs (or triplets) of cards. When the...

Aldo Colombini and Cameron Francis, two friends with a common passion: Card Magic. This is the type of magic that can be worked anytime, anyplace.

Contents:

• YET (Aldo Colombini): A card is selected and it is seen to be the only different colored card. It disappears and reappears face up in the middle of the deck.
• SIMPLY AMAZING (Cameron Francis): This is a fun, off-beat four-Ace assembly.
• FOLLOWERS (Aldo Colombini): Follow the Leader theme but the entire packet follows each time.
• S.P.C.A. (Cameron Francis): An almost self-working small packet "card at number".
• NUMBERED (Aldo Colombini):...

"It's hard to find a new plot in magic or mentalism but Stefan has cracked it with his EGGstremely Dangerous routine. I can't wait to put this into an act. It will play well with all ages." - Wayne Rogers

"If you are looking to add some great comedy to your mentalism act, then look no further. This is one of the funniest mental routines I have seen. It is sure to please any audience." - Devin Knight

"Really, really nice: Entertaining, easy to do, and direct to the point! The kind of things I like!" - Luca Volpe

"Stefan keeps creating very commercial routines that pack a punch yet are easy to set up...

• DESIGN BY ACCIDENT: A card is selected. A packet is dealt into four piles and the top card of each pile matches the selection.
• ESP PARADOX OF PAIRS: A spectator picks three pairs while you deal the cards. These pairs are the only ones containing two matching symbols.
• DUAL ESP TEST LOCATION: Two symbols are selected under very fair conditions, yet, you can announce them.
• TRIPLE MATCH BY DESIGN: A spectator shuffles the deck. You take a prediction card and the spectator finds two more matching symbols.
• SYMBOL SENSE: A deck of cards is mixed and three spectators think of a card each. You...

The Sanda-Panda Mystery Box is an ungimmicked 6"x 4" cardboard box. It is always in full view and gives you the ability to make near impossible predictions. No pre-show work and all are ONE-MAN effects. No secret assistants or stooges are used in any of the effects. NO FORCES of any kind are used in any effect.

IMPOSSIBLE CARD PREDICTION: Two participants form a card to ensure the choice is random. One chooses the suit and the other the value with no restrictions. You take the lid off the box - inside is a deck of cards and a folded 8" x 5" piece of paper. The participant unfolds the paper....

David Hoy was a mentalist who later billed himself as genuine psychic. In this audio recording he tries to teach you how to develop your own psychic abilities.

Here is the original back cover text:

Peter Warlock's legendary monthly magazine New Pentagram ran for 20 years. During those two decades some of the finest close-up and stage magic of the period was explained in its pages. Aldo has selected ten routines from each volume (in chronological order), so you should expect 20 download DVDs dedicated to this great magazine.

You will have: Card tricks, mental effects, coin routines, tricks with rings, etc, from magicians like Alex Elmsley, Peter Warlock, Max Maven, Francis Haxton, Ian Adair, Al Koran, Eddie Joseph, Ali Bongo, Milton Kort, Arthur Carter, Robert Neale, Peter Kane, Jack Avis and many more!

CONTENTS:

• STRANGERS TILL WE MEET (Francis Haxton): Two cards appear at the same...

More magic from the pages of Peter Warlock’s legendary magazine.

CONTENTS:

• COIN GO (Phoa Yan Tiong): A coin placed into the folds of a banknote (bill) disappears.
• ANSWER TO A PROBLEM (Francis Haxton): Three cards from a blue-backed deck are placed on the table. A spectator selects three cards from a red-backed deck and they match the previous cards.
• GILS’ GAME (Peter Kane-Gustave Southall): An amazing routine with a gambling theme with several climaxes.
• THE THREE FOUR ACES (Herb Runge): A very easy and unique four-ace assembly.
• TRIODENAL CARDS (Peter McDonald): You leave a prediction in view....

An effect by Paul Gordon performed by Aldo Colombini. You show some Jokers. The backs of the cards are red. One Joker with a big X on its back is placed among the cards and now all the cards have a big X on their backs. One card with a big O on its back is placed among the cards and now all the cards have big O’s on their backs. Finally, the cards are all back to normal. The big surprise comes when five cards are turned over and a letter appears on each card spelling the word MAGIC (or any other message, a Royal Flush, etc).

You will need five blank-faced cards.

A deck is shuffled. While the performer's back is turned, one spectator selects and remembers a card, which he then loses into the deck. No one knows where this card is. Its identity is known only to the spectator. Now, a second spectator merely thinks of a number. The performer mixes the cards further, and spreads them face up to show the cards to be completely mixed. The second spectator now, for the 1st time, reveals her thought of number. The spectator is handed the deck. She deals the cards one at a time until she reaches her thought of number. The card arrived at is the card being thought...

Equivo-Lock is David's version of Seven Keys to Baldpate by Annemann. An ungimmicked padlock and seven keys are given to a spectator. The spectator tries all seven keys and finds out that none of the keys will open the lock. The performer now produces an eighth key, which does open the lock. The spectator now relocks the padlock, and the keys are placed into a wine glass. The keys are then mixed. The spectator now uses her powers of intuition to eliminate all but one of the eight keys. The selected key is tried in the lock and the lock opens!

The lock is not gimmicked and maybe completely examined....

An uncanny demonstration of apparent thought-reading.

THREE SMASH HITS: You show a packet of cards (saying that it contains the four Queens) and leave it aside. You also show another packet of four cards and they are seen to be the four Queens. A spectator FREELY touches any card and this is revealed to be, say, the QC.

FIRST EFFECT: The QC is seen to be the only reversed card in the other packet.

SECOND EFFECT: This card has a red back, while the other three are blue-backed cards.

THIRD EFFECT: The three blue-backed cards are seen to have blank faces.

Easy to do. At the...

The routine is based on Frank Garcia's "Five-Card Stunner" but also on handlings by Ken de Courcy and Herb Rungay. It is perfect for stand-up performers (parlor or stage) with no table required. You show a black card (say the 9C) and four red cards. When the cards are fanned, there are only four and they are all red; the black card has vanished. You eliminate one red card and then you remove the missing black card from the pocket. Again the cards are shown and then fanned. There are three red cards; the black card vanishes for the second time. You eliminate another red card and remove the black...

More great magic of Nick Trost. All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• FOUR-WAY MATCH-UP: You lay four cards on the table. The spectator separates the deck into four packets and at the face of each packet he finds the matching cards of the previous four.
• THREE MATCHED PAIRS: A spectator picks three pairs while you deal cards and they are the only matching pairs of the packet.
• SUITS OF SYMPATHY: A stunning routine. You place the hearts cards in a glass. The Diamonds cards are shuffled by a spectator and they match the Hearts cards. Stunning.
• REPEAT ROYAL MARRIAGES:...

This is an amazing close-up trick which is a mystery to any audience. Two cards are selected from a deck of cards. You show several Jokers. One at a time, the Jokers turn over and during this process change one by one into duplicates of the first card. Then, all together they change into duplicates of the second selected card!

Requires two double faced cards.

You show five cards completely blank on both sides. A card is selected from a regular deck (say the QH). The same card appears on the face of every blank card. Then all the cards are blank again including the spectator’s selection; this card now re-appears face up in the middle of the deck!

Requires four cards blank on both sides, a blank-backed card and a blank-faced card.

An entertaining routine on the Cannibal Card theme. Several effects tied together to create the perfect 'cannibal card' routine ever. The cannibals appear, change 'clothes', capture victims, eat victims, eat each other and reappear!

Requires a double-backed card.

More Mind Magic is a collection of four mentalism effects that are suited to close-up and especially one-to-one performance.

The first effect, Predetermination, is a completely self-working impromptu effect in which the mentalist correctly predicts the outcome of a card-mixing procedure, even though the spectator freely chooses the procedural steps after the prediction is made.

The second effect, Seven Shooter, is a packet trick with a Russian Roulette plot. The seven firing chambers...

A new comedy mental effect based on a new term UNSHOP, which means to return something at the checkout-counter because you bought too much and cannot afford it.

The performer invites a male participant to take an imaginary shopping trip. He is told to imagine he has gone to a store and is going to buy a new outfit. His new outfit will consist of a sports coat, shirt, necktie, pants, socks, shoes, and even a pair of boxer shorts. He is told that when he gets to the checkout-counter, he discovers he does not have enough money with him and has to return something to the shelf. The participant...
