This was the very first Martin Breese Magicassette ever produced. It was among the best selling tapes Martin published over many years. And it is now available as immediate and convenient MP3 download.

Three packets of cards are introduced. Three spectators each select a card from the packets and these cards are seen to be the only cards with DIFFERENT COLORED BACKS!

Requires three blank-faced cards.

"The level of subtlety is simply impressive, as he's left nothing to chance. A no-brainer. Well done Scott." - Phedon Bilek

"This is a killer routine that uses just a few business cards and a pen. Need I say more? It's from Scott: GET IT!!" - Greg Arce

Three phases
Three Spectators
Three Business Cards

Mind reading, prediction and psychometry, including an additional shorter bonus version called 'Trident 2.0'.

Trident is a tried and tested mentalism/psychic entertainment routine I've worked to death for years, using nothing more than three business cards and a pen. In this manuscript,...

Tre sorprendenti trucchi automatici con le carte

Tre meravigliosi effetti automatici, senza abilità e di grande impatto sul pubblico di Stewart James.

Le routines sono praticamente sconosciute al pubblico odierno e sono di un impatto tale da soddisfare sia il più esigente artista che il più raffinato pubblico. Provatene una e aggiungetela al vostro repartorio oppure…,perché no, usatele tutte. Senza dubbio la routine finale vale il prezzo dell’intero manoscritto !

Ecco gli effetti contenuti nel manoscritto :

Appropriazione indebita - Il prestigiatore scrive qualcosa su un...

Trinities is a two-phase mind-reading routine. In the first phase, the mentalist correctly divines attributes (colour, suit, value) of playing cards which the spectator has shuffled, dealt and covered with his hands while the mentalist has turned away. In the second phase, which can be performed alone, the spectator forms a page number by combining the values of freely selected cards from the deck. Without the mentalist seeing, the spectator then opens up and freely examines an eBook (standard PDF) from a collection of classic literary works stored on a computer, eBook reader or smartphone....

A small collection of three effects. First one out is an invisible cuing system, that can be used for spectator as mind reader effects of all kinds. They see writing appear on a card and then vanish.

Second one, and definitely a favorite, a memorised book effect. Any person selects a page in a book, you proceed with memorising it, you close the book and put it aside. Ask someone to name a "line number", and someone else to name a "word number". You think. You write. And place your writing out of sight. Take the book again and show that the word at the designated position is, say for example,...

A mathematical range force with routine and application ideas.

The Trinity Force is an easy yet powerful force but very little known in the field of magic or mentalism. As with any force, here too the applications of the force are limited only by your imagination. A few interesting routine ideas are shared here. But you can surely come up with many of your own routines using this beautiful force.

The actual process to force is very fast and direct. Maybe, depending on your presentation, it may take all of fifteen seconds to perform the force. Or you can stretch it for as long as you want....

Three off beat effects which have received the praise of laymen, magicians and reviewers.

CLEAR THOUGHT uses four blank cards. A spectator is asked to think of one of the four Queens, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds or Spades, and whilst the blank cards are in her own hands one of them changes to the mentally selected card. No questions are asked. Not to be outdone, the performer changes the other blanks into the remaining Queens.

POLYTHENE PAM is a novel version of Find The Lady. A spectator fails to find the lady which continually disappears leaving just four blank cards. At the finish all the...

A terrific triple prediction with a double climax using three spectators, three chairs, three big envelopes and a deck of cards.

One of the most astonishing mental effects which we have ever been privileged to offer you.

Unusual: Strange: Bizarre!

Three chairs are in a line on the stage. A committee of three spectators are asked to come forward. One of the spectators is handed three large envelopes. He is asked to mix the envelopes up and then to lay these down on any of the chairs, in any order he chooses. Three spectators are to sit on any of the chairs again just as they choose....

Dopo un anno di scrittura e revisioni continue, finalmente pubblico il mio primo lavoro di mentalismo: Trip Mentale. Un lavoro minuzioso, pieno di dettagli e sottigliezze che non si limitano solo alle applicazioni descritte in questo testo.

Ma, nella pratica, cos'è Trip Mentale?

In sintesi, Trip Mentale vi permetterà di divinare una nazione solo pensata dal vostro spettatore. Nessun bigliettino, nessun foglio, nessun mazzo di carte, nessun apparecchio, il tutto avverrà con il solo utilizzo delle parole. Il numero di partecipanti a questo esperimento può andare da quattro a uno....

A three-way transposition in the hands of three spectators - and the performer far away.

This could follow a CSB Routine (or come first), or pick up three different poker chips from the game table, or three colored Chinese coins, or follow my China Spice routine.

Three distinctive objects have magical powers or attributes attached and become talisman to be freely chosen by two volunteers with a third getting the power that is left. Each holds and protects their selection while verbally announcing their new power and talisman with the performer across the room. But each secretly desires a different...

A routine by Peter Warlock - performed by Aldo Colombini. This is a reputation maker. A stunning routine for close-up or stage, using a regular deck (even jumbo size). In three phases; one stronger than the other.

A packet of cards is removed and a spectator moves a certain number of cards from top to bottom. You are NOT looking during this. You take back the packet, spread it and a card is face up indicating the amount of cards moved by the spectator. The spectator repeats the same action (maybe selecting a different number of cards) and you place the packet in HIS pocket. Remove one card from his pocket...

From the Foreword

20 routines with two (or three) decks of cards.

From the Introduction:

The Corvus Manifesto - a thought provoking essay by Bob.

The Photon Phenomenon - A low cost way to achieve an impressive visual effect. This is typical Cassidy brilliance. Imagine. You are on stage and have just asked the audience to concentrate on their thoughts. The houselights dim and, suddenly, your face is illuminated in an eerie glow. No doubt it is effective showmanship, but you would normally assume that a special lighting effect like this requires, well, special lighting. It doesn’t.

Dark Impressions - Those of you who are familiar with Bob's previous writings are well acquainted...

This is a tabled triple false cut.

runtime: 57s

Paul A. Lelekis provides a trio of titillating tricks for the close-up performer! All three routines are world-class effects. The bonus effect was contributed by the amazing Scottish performer, Ronnie Wood - this effect will blow your spectators away!

The highlight of this e-book is The Ultimate Poker Demo. There have been many poker demos out there...but NONE like this beauty. This will become your absolute favorite routine to perform and is an ideal closer.

These wonderful effects are not for the faint of heart, but for magicians who not only want to "up" their game, but also provide...

A four card monte effect - a queen and three aces. Cards magically turn face up and down, and the queen vanishes. For the climax one card is removed, the queen reappears and suddenly two cards change completely into new cards and the queens back is now red.

1st edition 2017, length 4 min 57 s

Two monster card routines and an exposé and a video of Paul performing and explaining the Bluff Pass in detail! Paul has the very best rendition of The Bluff Pass that never fails - even when you perform it for magicians.

1) KING PEN - Venture into a magical card adventure with the Notorious X card...a hardened criminal. He escapes prison but the two red King Guards chase him down and return him to prison. This routine is a lot of fun to perform and you will learn some cool sleights and displays that are very little-known but are extremely deceptive.

2) PARALLEL UNIVERSE - This effect...

An opening magic effect for an unknown audience as scaffolding for a full routine. Full involvement of audience participation and imagination in making the magic happen, with astonishment beyond expectations.

With obviously empty hands as a guide, you have three spectators each imagine a different colored poker chip and pretend to place it your left hand. This prize is then guarded by a fourth spectator as three other guests decide on the order of the chips in the imaginary stack. When your hand opens it contains three actual poker chips in the exact color order chosen by the spectators....

Triple Threat is a collection of mentalism and magic effects that Scott Xavier has been working on for nearly ten years.

In this manuscript you will find a no gimmick coin in hand routine. This is as pure as it gets. When you leave behind the dirty work, you'll even be able to develop your actual ability to predict a game of guess which hand a coin is in. And.... You're always right! Plus, because in the other effects, there's no finale, now there's a kicker ending too.

You'll also get Scott's unique card stab using a crossbow. This is the actual effect that he uses to close his 4 diamond...

Triplets is a new series by Gregg Webb with three items each - tricks and essays. This first ebook in this series features "Cleverness", a two-card transpo, a coin routine that was inspired by Milt Kort's famous shot glass coin routine, and "Behold the Invisible Knife", a routine most suitable for a kids show.

"Gregg Webb is one of the most creative minds in Magic. For over 40 years he has been inspiring me with his contributions to our art." - Jeff McBride

1st edition 2022, PDF 7 pages.

This volume, Volume 10, will be the last issue of Triplets. It will include Magic News including some new contacts and various pieces of magic news. Following this will be many "Thank you's" to all the people who helped me over the years.

The next essay will be a retrospective of the theories that have guided my movements of minimalism and streamlining. These go back to the 60's and 70's when every trick in every magazine ended with "lap the extra item", to end. Many other trends began with ideas that were ahead of their time. While there have been great thinkers along the way, my magic...

In this second installment of Triplets, which is an all-cards issue, Gregg describes a new variation of a card change of Jimmy Groppo's. Jimmy was the glad-hander of one of the casinos in Vegas and would do very direct magic effects for the customers.

Next are some very strong tips and additions to a trick called the Repeat Card to Pocket. At the end, Gregg explains how to do this feat with a signed selection.

Lastly, Gregg explains how to solve some of the common problems of a move called The Misdirection Palm. Many beginners make the same mistakes with this move and miss the point....
