When George Schindler wrote his book Amedeo's Continental Magic he used his tape recorder frequently to capture some of the remarkable Amedeo stories. On this recording George introduces Amedeo and we then hear Amedeo himself talking about his life and times in working for over 65 years in more than 23 countries. In 1972 the New York Society of Magicians named Amedeo as "Magician of the Year." Here is your opportunity to hear him talking about some of his experiences.

Manuale pratico per imparare l’arte dell’origami.

L’Origami è un’antica arte orientale, perfezionatasi in Giappone, che con tecniche di piegatura riesce a trasformare foglietti di carta in graziosi animaletti, fiori, scatolette ed altri piccoli oggetti di quotidiana utilità, e in vere e proprie opere d’arte.

Il termine “origami” deriva da due parole giapponesi: “ori” e “kami” dove “ori” sta per piegare, e “kami” è la pronuncia sia della parola “carta” sia della parola “dei”, da questo deriva la valenza sacrale data al “piegare la carta”.

Foxtails is the first ebook from female mentalist Ana Fox. In this eBook you will find 5 routines from her professional working repertoire. This material is intended for the intermediate mentalist, but don't let that dissuade you these are real gems!

From Aire Allegro's introduction:

Finally! The Return of the Controversial Bestseller The Erotic Seance!

This manuscript was originally created in 2004 and published in 2005. Within a relatively short period of time it was off the market. Since then many people have looked for a copy, curious about its contents. Mystic Alexandre has owned the rights to this manuscript for many years and thought it might never see the light of day again, but now he feels it's time this unique piece resurfaced at a special price and for a limited time for those who are interested.

This is the unchanged and original manuscript created in 2004 with no content...

This is the very first manuscript Anabelle released way back in 2003. A creative mix of Bizarre Magic and Mentalism. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the original 2003 release with the original cover on the PDF and original content. Nothing new has been added.

Brother Shadow (Carl Herron): "If you are a performer that deals with things strange and mysterious, this eBook is for you!"

Ted Lesley: "Anabelle's E-book "Seven Past Midnight" is wonderful! Get it as soon as you can and I know you'll be more than pleased. Since I have read the book, I am a fan of Anabelle."

Beneath The Mask, co-written with Alexandre, is the last manuscript Anabelle chose to release to the community back in 2007! It's been off the market for a number of years, but now it's back! IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the original 2007 release with the original cover on the PDF and original content.

11 Fun Routines

Chance Sandwich: A unique playing card prediction experiment where a subject makes a couple of crystal clear choices, no doublespeak by the performer, and in the end the performer proves to be eerily correct! A classic card effect with an Anabelle twist that improves it tenfold!...

6 easy Native American themed mentalism routines.

This eBook first released in 2006 disappeared a year later and returns now in its original form. So what is a Pow Wow?

Pow Wow is the Native American people's way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships and making new ones. It's also a time to renew thought of the old ways and to preserve the rich Native American heritage. The word powwow in itself is from an Indian word that has been Anglicized. It comes from the Algonquian term "pau-wau" or "pauau", which referred to a gathering of medicine...

A fun, entertaining, and feel good mentalism routine.

I've come to realize that when many of us hear the word "psychic," we imagine a neon-lit storefront, decorated with crystal balls, fog machines, the essence of "smoke and mirrors." From an early age, we're warned by our parents that these services are scams and begin associating psychic gifts as questionable and fraudulent for the most part. The otherworldly events we experience in childhood are mostly discredited, and even as we explore divination practices in adulthood, we are still quick to raise an eyebrow at the word "psychic." ...

Numerological Destination is a simple, direct, bold, and effective self-working playing card routine with no sleight of hand, no mathematical procedure, and no marked cards ... it uses a regular pack of playing cards, anywhere, anytime.

You will surely find other uses for this method, but here's how we present it ...

Numerology is seen as a universal language of numbers. It's the idea that the universe is a system, and once broken down we're left with the basic elements, which are ... numbers. These numbers can then be used to help us better understand the world and ourselves. But one...

Mr. Deb was initiated into magic at an early age. As a teenager, he was inspired by the Late P.C. Sorcar’s Magic Shows, and soon started performing his own magic shows in local clubs on many occasions. He developed an interest in the 'mechanics' of tricks and started making his own props in his own small home workshop. He gained a wealth of knowledge by avidly reading a wide variety of books on this subject.

The eight effects described in this ebook are mechanical self-working props, that "do" the magic. The performer has little else to do, once the props are ready, than pull the correct...

Il Potere dell’Ipnosi e della Retorica.

Vorrei introdurre gli argomenti trattati in questo volume ponendo una premessa: questo manuale rappresenta una svolta per tutti coloro che amano il tema persuasione e ipnosi, ma non è solo per loro.

Infatti, questo non è un libro come tanti altri, non insegna in pochi passaggi a realizzare un effetto di illusionismo o l’induzione ipnotica perfetta, insegna molto di più, insegna a cambiare totalmente modo di approcciare a questi metodi.

Ho pensato che un manuale del genere, per essere comprensivo non dovesse essere troppo tecnico o complesso,...

Quando l’Arte incontra la Tecnica.

In questo manuale semplice da comprendere, tratterò diversi argomenti tra cui l’ipnosi, la PNL e la retorica, spiegando quelle che sono le tecniche moderne oggi in voga.

Questo manuale è molto utile perché, non è solo incentrato sull’arte dell’ipnosi, ma viene proposta agli appassionati una versione che ha più risvolti e più sfaccettature, come a creare un connubio perfetto fra l’arte di ipnotizzare e l’arte di persuadere.

Questo è un manuale che si prefigge di andare oltre, ovvero di presentare l’ipnosi in maniera più approfondita,...

John Ramsay was known for his clever use of misdirection. Probably his most famous quote is

"I work alone, but I have an invisible assistant—Miss Direction."—John Ramsay

His use of misdirection was so good that he often badly fooled his fellow magicians. Ramsay was a sleight-of-hand master with coins and thimbles, but worked essentially with all objects including cards, ropes and cups and balls. Lots of clear line drawings by Ralph O. Evans.

A card is freely selected and it is placed in between the four Kings. The Kings packet is then placed in the card case and the flap is closed. Performer snaps the card case with his fingers, a card seems to melt through the card case. The card case is opened and four Kings are found inside. You end clean!

• No setup.
• Great opener.
• No gimmicks or duplicates.
• It's impromptu and can be performed at any time.
• The deck can be borrowed - visual magic at its best.

I performed your trick for...

This is an impromptu ripped and restored signed card effect. This is a flash restoration and the restored signed card can be immediately given out as a souvenir and you end clean.

In this version, there is no extra card required, palming, etc. The restoration is very visual. The deck can be examined before and after the routine! Best of all, the spectator has a total free choice of the selection and no special setup of the deck. You end clean!

I was really pleased to read your excellent effect. I liked the effect of the tear disappearing. - Peter Duffie

I liked your handling of Healing Portal...

This is one of the easiest four-of-a-kind productions with no finger-flicking moves or flourishes.

Effect: Spectator freely names a number between 10 and 20. After some byplay and counting the cards in the process, the spectator unknowingly produces the four Kings.

No crimp! No markings! No gimmicks! No extra cards! No rough & smooth!

I like this a lot. I haven't seen this combination of ideas before. They work very well to produce a strong effect. - Peter Duffie

It's a very novel four-of-a-kind production. The principle used is a simple one and makes the trick pretty much self-working. -...

A collection of Andrew's all time favorite routines. Three card effects which have been in Andrew's repertoire for years. They entertain any audience.

The Sandwich Keepers
Three Kings perform a visual miracle which incorporates the vanishing and sandwiching sequence that will delight your audience.

Metamorphosis
A card is freely chosen, signed and lost in the pack. Two Kings are removed and held in performer's hands. The pack is shown - their selection is neither on top nor at the bottom. Some gestures, the Kings visually vanished and magically transformed into the selection. The...
