"A cool and animated levitation of a card or dollar bill... EASY TO MAKE!"

However, it was also a genuine stepping stone in the thought processes that would eventually lead to Enlightenment: The Ultimate Floating Card - which is way superior. So, controversial...

Once you hold a break, this technique allows you to peek the card while you square up the deck.

runtime: 51s

You show four cards which have red backs on both sides. They change to blue backs, then to four queens with different colored backs, none of them having a red back.

The All Backs Motif is odd. For one thing, it casts a revealing light on we magician's claim (when it suits our purpose) that we use ordinary cards. That is our decks, which we prefer to borrow, consist of cards that have faces and backs on both sides. Therefore, if we show a deck that consists of all backs and faces we are admitting that such anomalies exist and the cards being used are probably gimmicked in some way. Why do this?

A better question may be - What motivated someone to create such an effect using this kind of deck? That "someone" was Dai Vernon and my guess is that he wanted to...

A complete comedy prediction routine with a surprise finish.

A spectator is shown various words written on sheets of paper. These are folded and dropped into a bag, placed behind he spectator's back and any paper is selected - the future predicted word. On stage the magician has a large book with the word 'PREDICTION' on the cover that has been in full view all the time. Before the spectator unfolds and reveals the chosen word, the magician pages through the large format book revealing various comedy predictions. Eventually the spectator reveals the word and the entire book drops open in...

"Brilliant" - Marc Salem

"I love the style of thinking in using your brain to the extra leg work to create something fun and engaging for your spectators!" - Ben Cardal

The spectator plays a "Charades" like game with the mentalist. And in every round of the game, the mentalist always gets it right. Lastly, the mentalist performs a mind-reading effect that identifies objects that the spectator is thinking of.

• No force
• Can be performed via video call
• Can be propless
• Can include a drawing duplication effect
• Does not use truth-teller/liar plot
• Can use different objects

Commercial card magic at its best. All practical effects which you will use.

• COLOR CHANGE AGAIN (John Yeager): A color changing deck routine involving two selected cards.

• REPROCESSED ELIMINATION (J.K. Hartman): A selected card appears in an unexpected way. Very strong effect.

With contributions by Werner Miller, Max Maven and Shigeo Futagawa.

The day was March 6th 2011 when Werner Miller sent me his Da Capo 3 and Da Capo 4 ebooks. Whenever I receive something from Werner I make time to read it. He has a knack to incorporate new twists and takes, or entirely new principles which stimulate my own grey cells.

Browsing Da Capo 3 I stumbled on an unusual effect which Werner titled "Pointing the Way". It was first published in 2001 in Club 71. This effect consisted of two parts. One was a printing effect where blank cards were shown, which later had arrows printed on them. This part of the effect was nothing special, the usual...

Jazz Aces was inauspiciously introduced to the magic world in 1971 when Peter Kane published Another Card Session. It was a fortuitous event because it appeared about the same time the Elmsley Count was gaining favor with magicians from coast to coast. Like weeds in an open field, packet tricks were also popping up everywhere. Furthermore, Kane's routine clarified the transposition aspects of basic Ace Assemblies. Using only 8 principal "players" (cards), his action procedure was simple and direct. Best of all, the final transposition was squeaky clean. As a result it did not take long for Jazz...

With the help of two volunteers from the audience the magician attempts to demonstrate how to juggle with large metal rings. But, before he even starts the rings start linking mysteriously. Involving the volunteers throughout, the rings keep joining onto one another until the hapless entertainer has to eventually give up as the rings have now been made into one long chain.

Yes, you've guessed it - it's a linking ring routine.

After getting a set of eight linking rings Steve was surprised at the number of routines that do not use eight! So, wanting to get his money's worth he decided...

To the average magician, a Change bag is a device like a collection bag, that changes a couple of silks, ribbons, rope or other similar items. Well, there are several varieties of those, with short handles for one hand operation, and longer ones for two hand operation, with single and double compartments (for a double change), with zippers to poke your hand through - Sam Dalal has made over a dozen varieties of this for his Magic service. But there are many other types of "change bags" like draw string bags and ladies' purses, paper "pop bags", mesh shopping bags and crystal clear bags, some...

17 routines cartomagiche di grande impatto, facili da eseguire.

Questo libro di Aldo Colombini, il quinto della serie “Cartomagia commerciale”, contiene delle splendide routines alcune delle quali sono dei veri reputation maker. La descrizione che segue, per ragioni di spazio, non rende giustizia ai bellissimi effetti che trovate svelati e descritti con la solita dovizia in questo libro. Le meraviglie cominciano già con il titolo che è una frase palindroma ( si può leggere sia da sinistra a destra che da destra a sinistra…) per proseguire poi, dopo un introduzione di John Bannon,...

Ten years ago Paul Romhany caused a stir in the magic fraternity when he performed his original Impossible Bill To Can routine on national television. He was accused of using stooges because the routine was that impossible. However what magicians did not know was that Paul had worked out a routine that did not use stooges. In 2007 Paul released the exact routine and version he used on the TV show on a DVD and is still available from most magic dealers.

This new version is an alternative Bill To Can routine which in many ways is more practical for most working conditions. This routine is...

CHE COSA E' ?

Un ebook che spiega nei dettagli una bellissima routine di cartomagia con un normale mazzo di carte

CHE EFFETTO DESCRIVE?

Tre spettatori scelgono altrettante carte e le lasciano sul tavolo .L'esecutore mostra chiaramente tre Jolly. Poi pone una delle carte scelte tra i Jolly e, senza guardarne la faccia, riesce a nominare la carta scelta. La carta viene rimessa sul tavolo. La stessa cosa si ripete con le altre due carte scelte. Ora per il climax finale: le caste scelte vengono girate una alla volta e si sono trasformate in altrettanti Jolly ! Ora le tre carte scelte...

This work has become a classic among card magicians. Alternative Card Magic was the first book for Peter Duffie and Jerry Sadowitz, two creative card men. Jeff Busby called it "the card magic book of the decade".

In the foreword Roy Walton writes:
