This 60 minute recording includes the very best of the great Sid Lorraine. This is a happy mix of talk about magicians, how he got started in magic, heavily interspersed with magic you can do. There is a substitute for the pass, a gold fish bowl production (without the bowl), a card trick that baffled Blackstone.

Craige Snader in Magic Sounds said: "...it is great value as you get a magic lecture by one of the greats that you can listen to over and over. A great tape for study or just pleasant listening."

This is a digitally re-mastered (MP3) version of the original MagiCassette™ released...

This famous Canadian performer and author was guest of honor at the 1973 Collector's Weekend. To honor him, this booklet of his early, unpublished material was made into a 36 page booklet. Besides fifteen Lorraine tricks and a section of miscellaneous gags, the booklet contains photos and a reproduction of the Berlinski poster made special for the occasion.

Sid is known for his humorous approach to magic, and the great number of users of his stuff show, his strong influence on magic.

"Sid Lorraine has always been an idol of mine. Oh, I've been through fads like: Ed Marlo, Leo Behnke, Bro. Hamman, Tom Palmer, Don Alan ... even Jay Marshall! But, I always come back to Sid Lorraine. Whenever I've needed an idea or inspiration, my library of Sid Lorraine books or my files of his tricks and variations have provided both and more." - Ron Bauer

One of the inherent difficulties in presenting effective mentalism is that it generally lacks the element of surprise. The performer states that he will read a thought and proceeds to do so. He says he will predict tomorrow’s headlines and he does. Many would-be mentalists infallibly demonstrate so many different alleged mental powers that the element of believability is lacking as well.

By applying the "Side Effects" principle, the element of surprise is returned to the art and variety is introduced into a performance without sacrificing believability. Bob's good friend Ross Johnson, one...

This is a well thought out Dai Vernon version of the Glide. Every finger position and movement has its reason. The Glide is not necessarily the most deceptive move, but it is easy to do. This version is very deceptive. As is so often the case, Vernon elevates a simple move to a masterpiece of deception.

Here is Aldo's latest effort on putting together smart comebacks, insults and one-liners. Besides insults and comebacks you will also find a section with various funny one-liners to use during your shows. Although Aldo wrote the lines with SHE or HE, the subject can be, of course, easily switched. Please be aware that some one-liners are crude and/or contain ‘blue’ material.

In this Little Blue Book I have described and explained most of the tricks which are to be seen in the typical Side-Show, whether in the circus or elsewhere. The historical side of this subject has already been dealt with quite fully by Houdini, in his book Miracle Mongers and Their Methods, but very few actual explanations are therein given, despite the title and I feel assured that the present little book covers the subject in a more complete manner than any other single volume which has so far appeared. Animal Tricks, and the tricks of professional gamblers,...

Sight Unseen will earn you a reputation. If you already have a reputation, it will make it bigger. The effects in this eBook contributed greatly in earning David Devlin his IBM Entertainer of the Year Award in 2003.

This eBook comes with two presentations and two methods for the same effect. The basic effect is that a deck is shuffled by spectators until they are content. The deck is spread face down. The spectator slips a joker face up into the deck anywhere she wishes. The second joker is placed face up above the face down card above the other joker, thus trapping a single unknown card...

From the lost files of Jason Michaels comes one of the most devious and baffling psychic card routines every invented!

It is a four-phase routine in which you locate selected cards SIGHT UNSEEN. It was one of the most talked about feats of Jason Michaels and even fooled the skeptics. This appears in print for the first time.

Jason never liked using blindfolds except for blindfolded drives and even then he put newspaper over the windshield. The reason for this is that no matter how clever or deceptive a blindfold is, there are always people who still think somehow you can see through it....

A nice switch by Ed Marlo. You switch out three cards from a set of four.

The owners of this ebook can buy Star Signature for half price.

There have been many methods for divining the star sign of a participant. Most of these have used the principles of BA's or PA's. Such methods make the process longer and sometimes tedious. Here is a simple and smart idea for reducing your work by half but at the same time doubling the payoff and impact.

A cool principle called POWERGRAM is used to divine the target star sign within an average of asking just 3-4 letters only. In addition, a kicker revelation is also possible. This can be done impromptu face to face or even remotely over...

A card is selected and signed. The signature magically transfers onto a completely different card.

Borrow a coin. Get it signed and bend it in your hand. It is a clear and strong effect. Titanas explains two different variations which can be performed standing.

The video is shot for my taste from a bit too far, particularly in the demonstration part the coin is hard to see. However, the explanation is clear and should not cause any difficulties for you to learn this wonderful effect.

This is a gutsy and exceptionally strong effect. Look out for this guy. He will be releasing more of his strong ideas.
