Her Majesty the Magic of CardsBenedykt KrajdenerThis work is something special, something completely unique. It is the product of a several decades long love affair of Benedykt Krajdener and the pasteboards. If you are truly in love you will sometimes do things that for an outsider appear as irrational, unbelievable, or outright insane. I am sure Benedykt is not insane, but finding and memorizing about 2700 words for every possible pair of cards from a deck of 52 might be considered irrational or perhaps unbelievable. Yes, love can do that to a grown man. But before you assume this book is simply a list of those 2700 words, or that you... | ★★★★★ $35 to wish list | |

Case 21: cards through caseBen HowardEffect: This is not a card trick, it's a trick with cards. The spectator freely selects, signs and returns the card from a shuffled deck. The illusionist explains that card tricks have become too complicated, and he wants to keep it simple and use just the selected card. The magician picks up the card case, still holding the deck, and shows the card case at all sides and completely empty. The magician then places the deck square on the face of the card case. The front of the card case can be clearly seen as the cards are being placed. The card case with the deck on top is placed... | $14 to wish list | |
Transfix: cards through caseBen HowardThis is a 'cards through case' effect, but completely different than older versions. This effect takes a classic stage illusion and puts it in the spectator's hands. Four random cards are selected by the spectator. The four cards are placed inside a card case and given to the spectator to hold at their fingertips. Three of the four cards are removed, leaving the final card inside of the card case. The remaining three cards are then pushed through the side of the card case and the selected card. This can be viewed from all angles whilst the spectator is holding the case. The three... | $15 to wish list | |

Zo-ChangebboymagicPlease note that this video is in Vietnamese, but the instructions to make the gimmick, and how to use it is perfectly understandable from the visual information alone. Change a bill into a card. Easy gimmick. Easy to perform. Obviously you need to use paper money that is compatible with the width of the cards you are using. Often bills can be trimmed slightly if they are too wide. 1st edition 2018, length 7 min 32 s | $8.65 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
Sly CardbboymagicPlease note that the instructions are purely visual, no spoken words. This is a very subtle method to find a freely chosen (not forced) card. It needs some prior preparation, but the deck (cards) are not altered in any way. After the effect there is nothing left to detect and the cards can be handed out or given away. The method to locate the chosen card is not sleight-of-hand based. But to present it properly you will need some basic card handling skills such as shuffling, cutting, and spreading cards. Depending on how you choose to produce the chosen card you may need to be able to cull... | $9.90 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz Volume 4Basil HorwitzFrom the foreword by Basil Horwitz: Here are just a few of my thoughts and opinions on the use of mentalism and mental magic. Many magical friends have commented that they are concerned that I use playing cards in mentalism effects and a number of readers were disappointed that my last book contained mentalism material relying on the use of playing cards. I feel that it is important for me to explain that I have never ever had any problem with the use of playing cards in my performance of mentalism and it is clear to me that my audiences regard them as ordinary objects and are familiar with... | ★★★★★ $15 more than onetype to choose from hardcover | |
The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz Volume 5Basil HorwitzFrom the introduction by Andy Nyman: When I came across Basil's first book I couldn't believe it. Here was mentalism that fitted everything I had been searching for. It was clean, simple in plot and direct. In fact the more I read the more I was astonished and frustrated by the simplicity of Basil's thinking; 'Of course! Why didn't I think of that?' was a response I had about every five pages. I feel particularly indebted to Basil as I have partly built my reputation on one of his routines (if you think I'm telling you which one, think again). I recently had the pleasure of meeting Basil.... | $15 more than onetype to choose from hardcover | |
