Magic & Conjuring: page 91

Colin Linn is a quietly spoken New Zealander who passionately believes that magic must entertain. Stand-Up Card Magic is a collection of proven visual effects that are at their best when performed standing up. Very little has been published specifically on 'stand up' card magic. Colin believes in audience involvement and whenever possible an effect should be done with the audience and not aloof from them.

Anelli e sbarre continuano a passare attraverso il corpo dell’esecutore mentre i suoi pollici sono strettamente legati, in maniera inspiegabile, anche sotto lo stretto scrutinio da parte di membri del pubblico!

Il classico gioco dei pollici legati è sempre un numero di grande impatto sul pubblico. Senza tema di smentita, la routine descritta da Osman è una delle più belle e misteriose che il pubblico possa sperimentare. La particolarità di questa routine è che durante parte della sua esecuzione 2 spettatori tengono le braccia dell’artista e uno spettatore osserva da sotto mentre...

This practical method of Cliff Osman can be performed anywhere and is easy to do. The magician's right thumb is tied with a long piece of thick string; two or more knots being used. The left thumb is then bound tightly to the right thumb and the ends of string tied. The string is drawn skin tight around each thumb and all knots are genuine. Now, with his thumbs thus tightly bound together, the performer is able to perform a series of amazing tests. Instantly link your arms with those of the spectators, catch solid hoops or rings on your tied arms, pass your hands "through" table legs, etc.,...

This is all close up, intimate magic, with very little preparation, props you can find in any home, no expense, no skillful sleight of hand needed. It is called 'Minute Magic' because it is ready in a minute, for use at a moment's notice. Tricks with pop corn, sugar, bread, olives, salt, pepper, string, money, paper, gold fish, etc. 36 effects in all. Illustrated.

For me personally these lecture notes have been a real treat - something I enjoyed tremendously reading and getting my creative juices flowing. This is an ebook on enabling miracles with electronics. Magicians have always used the latest technology to create their wonders. Claude Klingsor from Belgium has specialized in using electronics to create miracles.

This is a magic ebook for engineers, inventors and tinkerers. The fact that these notes were written in the late 80s means that you won't find any microcontrollers, but that is also the charm of this ebook. The circuits are very easy to...

This is the most beautiful magic book ever published! I know, this is a pretty strong claim, but read on and judge for yourself.

"A terrific work, a must have for anybody who thinks of him- or herself as a magician." - Max M.

Before I tell you why I am convinced this is the most beautiful magic book ever published, allow me to give you a bit of history on how this book came to be.

Here's Alexander's own method of a stage mentalism feat that borders on genuine clairvoyance. You, too, can be "The Man Who Knows!"

A spectator selects a page of classified ads from among several in the newspaper and perhaps a hundred individual ads are cut out. Half a dozen spectators assist by folding the ads in half and placing them on a tray or table. From among the ads, thirteen are selected at random (a true free choice) and each is inserted into a standard drug or coin envelope and sealed. Note that the performer does not assist in the folding, inserting or sealing operation.

The "Dr. Q Book" was the first all-revealing book of professional mentalism. No less an authority than Robert A. Nelson claimed this book to be the greatest and most authoritative book ever written on the subject of stage and private mindreading.

Sadly, the book has been out of print for several years. But no longer. We're happy to announce that a newly revised fourth edition of this classic text is now available. Throughout the book, you'll learn not only techniques and subtlety to obtain the very innermost thoughts of the spectator, but also humorous stories and hard-earned lessons from Dr. "Q", revealed...

Alexander's own method of a convincing Question-and-Answer (Q&A) routine that borders on genuine ESP. Learn it and you, too, can be "The Man Who Knows!"

The act is specially devised and arranged for the performer who caters to Lodge, Club and College lecture tours since no assistant or apparatus is required. A truly one man act. This act had previously...

Compiled and edited by Neil Foster. Illustrated by Sid Lorraine with an introduction by Robert Lund who says, "in his field, as the professional dissenter and commentator on the foibles of magicians, he is the most original entertaining writer on conjuring today." He was talking about Clarke "The Senator" Crandall and his ebook contains the following chapters:

• Let him who is without sin ...
• Panties, Falsies and Lolly-pops

A revised and enlarged version of his previous work on this subject. Four dice are tossed on the table, a dice cup put over the first one, and with quick movements, the dice cup is slid over each of the others in turn. Then the cup is lifted, and all four dice are stacked one on top of the other. It is a beautiful close-up trick, easy to learn with the help of this ebook. Many illustrations and dotted here and there with typical Crandall funnies.
