Magic & Conjuring: page 403

This is an all time classic routine first published in Stars of Magic developed by Dai Vernon. A card is selected, lost in the deck, and then cards are shuffled together face-up and face-down mixing them into a big mess. Magically all cards turn back face-down except the one chosen by the spectator which is found to be face-up in the center of the deck.

Dai Vernon's version of the ATFUS achieves a much stronger illusion but is less versatile than Marlo's ATFUS.

A perennial favorite in card magic: A chosen card is lost in the deck and the performer, showing the Ace, Two and Three of one suit, offers to change whichever is picked into the selection. That is exactly what happens, with Baxter’s smooth method making good use of The Ascanio Spread, achieving just that. Full instructions given, straightforward and easy to learn.

This revision of the Vernon classic not only underlines the all-important simplicity angle by using a shortcut display move, but dispenses with Vernon's need for Palming. Bruce Elliott briefly touched on this in the concluding lines...

This is a technique, developed by the Professor, how to move the top card into a magician's palm while maintaining a high arch in your palming hand.

... und wie man es wird

Wie werde ich ein guter Zauberkünstler? Viele anspruchsvolle Magier haben diese Frage an sich gestellt, doch die richtige Antwort darauf zu bekommen, ist gar nicht so einfach. Astor hat aus seiner eigenen jahrzehntelangen Bühnenerfahrung als Profi eine Antwort darauf gefunden und seine Essenz auf 61 Seiten zusammengefasst. Schritt für Schritt nimmt er den Leser in 12 Kapiteln an die Hand, sodaß dieser am Ende des Buches, eine eigene Antwort auf die Frage: "Wie werde ich ein verdammt guter Zauberkünstler?" geben kann.

From the creator of Mathematical Amensia comes its creative counterpart, Verbal Amensia. How would you like to cause any spectator lose the ability to speak? I have studied hypnosis for quite some time, and this is the easiest application of a secret principle that I consistently use with 100% success, and you will be able to do so also immediately after reading this manuscript.

You give a piece of paper to the spectator (not a stooge) on whom you will perform Verbal Amensia with some very simple instructions on it. You have another spectator (again, not a stooge) confirm that what is written on that piece of...

Un grande classico finalmente tradotto in lingua Italiana con l'aggiunta di importanti note nell'introduzione. A metà strada tra il comedy e il trasformismo, l'arte di ottenere una lunga serie di cappelli piegando semplicemente un tondo o anello di feltro o di altro materiale, impersonando istantaneamente in tal modo una moltitudine di personaggi diversi e creando una serie di situazioni comiche, è davvero stupenda. Permette di intrattenere il pubblico da soli o con l'aiuto di spettatori ai quali vengono fatti indossare i cappelli man a mano che vengono prodotti. La Chapografia è un aggiunta...
