Magic & Conjuring: page 59

"Finalmente!" Dirà qualcuno, "Finalmente!" Facciamo eco noi , si infine un libro sulla magia per bambini ! Ma l'attesa sarà ricompensata in quanto in questo libro Billy Benbo ( alias BilllLainsbury ) ci spiega nei dettagli ben 16 routines professionali di successo ( il meglio, possiamo dire) del suo repertorio!

Routines preziose per tutti coloro che si trovano a dover lavorare con i bambini ( cioè quasi tutti...). Ecco alcuni esempi delle routines ( molte delle quali dettagliatissime e tutte con una completa e divertentissima presentazione) che troverai in questo libro:

IL FORZIERE...

A Warlock's Wandering is one magician's memories of his journey along the eternal path of wonder. It is my sincere hope that within its pages you may find something of value in presentation, thought, adaptation, and dressing. Between the lines are little gems of wisdom and knowledge gleaned from the many performers met over the last sixty seven years.

1st edition 2015, 57 pages.

This little pamphlet is deceptively packed with information that can help you to increase your status as a children's entertainer, and increase your income. It helps to fill a gap in a branch of entertainment sadly neglected. Bill Lainsbury is a Games Master, and has been for many years. Because of this second string to his bow he has been able to work through summer and winter commanding good fees for a little outlay. In this manuscript he passes on hints and advice to enable you to start up yourself as a Games Master. Details of performance, age groups, kind of games to play, etc. are all...

Dr. Bill Nagler is a psychologist and he provides a psychologist's in depth view of the world of magic. The information is radical and instructive.Why do top magicians rarely earn the sums of money that top stars in other entertainment fields earn? Why do some people hate magic so much? What is basically wrong with most people's approach to magic?

Find out for yourself and be prepared to be startled and perhaps end up changed in your attitude to magic. Bill includes his full close up act which helped him to pay his way through medical school. You'll see that he is not just a theorist! ...

This is a great collection of tricks from a list of top-notch contributors.

From the introduction:

Bracelet sequences and algorithmic stacks.

Mathematical Stacks contains a collection of various stacks made with 52 standard playing cards. Although some routines and presentations are mentioned, the book is not predominately about either routines or presentations. The very few presentations listed in this book are generally the bare minimum to demonstrate an effect.

The book contains stacks with bracelet sequences and built-in routines. The book includes stacks with binary bracelet sequences, e.g. a red-black suit bracelet sequence, where six consecutive cards identify the cards. Some...

A collection of effects that deal directly with thoughts. Only three of them need anything tangible, and only one requires writing; the rest can be performed naked. Combat with your thoughts, divine birthdays, scam bar mates, use two different cold reading presentations, make your spectator see words they never saw, verbally force cards in seconds, psychologically force thoughts, bend the wills of an audience; let your spectator read your mind, another spectators mind, or even speak life into being.

This is the third and last part in Bill Dekel's "MindCraft" series.

Mene, Mene, Dekel (MMD)
MMD allows you to gain access to a number, some words, or names that a spectator writes down, all thought of by a spectator. The effect is completely impromptu, and you need nothing to perform it other then yourself. Without peeking, you turn your head or look away as your spectator writes a number from 1 to 100 in the air. You then know what number they are thinking of. You can apply this to book tests, drawing duplications, PIN number revelations... The possibilities are limitless, and with some...

A spectator raises a number of fingers behind their back. You instantly know what that number is, without reflections, assistants, or gimmicks.

What is "Bending Minds"?

In this ebook, which will be structured in three volumes, you will see us use cards and simple pieces of paper, to develop mentalism effects that can be conducted live in person, or proposed at a distance, with a video connection or just audio (Zoom, Skype, Meet, etc., or even just on the phone), without the performer being able to see the cards, which are always handled by the viewer.

All descriptions come with a presentation, which is also original, very detailed, and inspired by movies, games, books, or just a simple emotion. A precious dress to be worn whenever...

With Bending Minds 2 continues the collection of effects centered on the principle of the binary system, according to a new and innovative vision. From this second volume on, not only playing cards will be used to tell our magical stories, but also simple notes or some business cards.

We present four more effects, two with cards and two with notes, with a number of elements varying from 4 to 8. Throughout the course of the effect, the cards are subject to a dynamic, the positions are constantly changing, each time in a different way. Even more than in the first volume you will be able to...

Bending Minds Vol. 3 ends the collection of effects centered on the principle of the binary system, according to a new and innovative vision. In this third volume, not only playing cards will be used to tell our magical stories, but also tickets or some business cards.

Si tratta di un incredibile effetto AUTOMATICO di Cartomagia che, servendosi di un comune mazzo di 54 carte (completo dei due jolly) e di un paio di dadi (che possono anche solo essere immaginati dagli spettatori) racconta la storia di un pirata, della mappa della sua isola e dei dadi magici di cui servirsi per ritrovarne il leggendario tesoro, in un crescendo di suspense, fino all’inattesa sorpresa finale!

COMPLETAMENTE SELF-WORKING, ma con un finale sorprendente che ingannerà anche i maghi!

It is an amazing automatic card magic effect that uses an ordinary deck of 54 cards (complete with the two jokers) and a pair of dice (which can also just be imagined by the spectators).

It tells the story of a pirate, the map of his island, and the magic dice he used to find his legendary treasure, in a crescendo of suspense, until the unexpected final surprise.

Completely self-working but with a surprising ending that will fool magicians too!

1st edition 2024, PDF 7 pages.

Questo è un nuovo effetto cartomagico, completamente Automatico: lo spettatore sceglierà due carte, a rappresentare la legge e per mezzo delle quali si ricaveranno altre due nuove carte, disperse nel mazzo, che dividerà poi in quattro mazzetti. Nell’arco di due distinte fasi, gli “Sceriffi” saranno inseriti dallo spettatore stesso all’interno del mazzo, nel modo più arbitrario possibile. I mazzetti saranno mescolati, congiunti, tagliati, divisi e, nonostante le mille avversità, le due carte “Sceriffo” riusciranno a rintracciare e catturare i due “Fuorilegge”, generati...

This is a new self-working card trick: the viewer will choose two cards, to represent the law and by means of which he will get two more cards, lost in the deck, which he will then divide into four bundles. Over the course of two separate stages, the spectator himself will insert the "sheriffs" within the deck, as arbitrarily as possible. The decks will be shuffled, cut and completed but, despite a thousand adversities, the two "sheriff" cards will succeed in tracking down and capturing the two "outlaws," generated by the combination of the first two cards, chosen at random.

The legend...

Con Double A.C.A.A.N. si compie esattamente il miracolo che il titolo promette: utilizzando un semplice mazzo di 52 carte non segnato e non truccato in alcun modo, si trova prima una e poi un’altra carta, entrambe casuali, dopo aver generato un numero in un modo altrettanto inusuale e randomico.

Uno speciale "tappeino" da stampare in formato A3+ , messo a disposizione con il pdf, sarà lo sfondo ideale per l’esecuzione dell’effetto. Le varie caselle si andranno a riempire, dapprima con la scelta di una carta misteriosa tenuta coperta e poi due carte scoperte, la cui unione degli...

With Double A.C.A.A.N. you will perform exactly the miracle the title promises: using a simple deck of 52 cards that is unmarked and not gimmicked in any way, you will find first one and then another card, both random, after generating a number in an equally unusual and random way.

A special "pad" to be printed in A3+ size, made available as PDF, will be the ideal mat for performing the effect. The various boxes will be completed, first with the choice of a mystery card kept face down and then two uncovered cards, the union of whose suit and value attributes will form a new card absolutely...

Un trucco di magia con le carte automatico e sempre pronto per essere eseguito con qualsiasi mazzo, anche preso a prestito!

Si tratta di un effetto di Cartomagia incredibilmente estemporaneo e self-working, che utilizza sette semplici carte, prese a caso dal mazzo. Uno spettatore ne sceglie una sola e, rispondendo mentalmente alle domande poste dal mago, mescolerà il mazzo secondo il proprio pensiero e la propria volontà...

L'illusionista annuncerà poi che, una alla volta, tutte le carte che finiranno in cima al mazzo, restituitegli dallo spettatore, saranno eliminate al termine...

An impromptu and self-working Card Magic trick, always ready to perform with any deck.

This is an incredible impromptu and automatic card magic effect, which uses seven cards, taken at random from the deck. A spectator chooses only one of these and, by mentally answering questions posed by the magician, will shuffle the deck according to his own thoughts and will. The illusionist will then announce that, one by one, all the cards that end up at the top of the pack, returned to him by the spectator, will be eliminated at the end of each series of further shuffles that he will personally...
