"The DVD does a very good job of explaining the Bottom Deal and Shade executes the deals very well. The advice he offers is solid.

If you love scams, hustles, cons, bar betchyas, flim-flam, stings, snow jobs, bamboozles, chicanery, shams, fixes, baloney, and other dirty tricks then this ebook is for YOU!

In this follow-up to his popular eBook How to Sell Bridges, David Devlin teaches the finer points of some of the many scams and hustles that have made him a lot of money.

Oracle is a multi phase performance piece with a pendulum and deck of cards by Simon Caine.

To demonstrate the powers of the pendulum, first it is used to divine a freely selected card. Next, the pendulum is able to answer questions from the audience, completely out of the hands of the performer. The selected card is then lost and mixed face down into several others by the participant, and still, the pendulum is able to 'dowse' the selection, using nothing more than the participants unspoken thoughts. Finally, a card is merely thought of by another audience member. The pendulum reveals this...

On November 26th and 27th 2010 the first European Close-Up Magic Symposium, focusing purely on coin magic, brought 16 magicians from all over the world to Milan for two days of non-stop coin magic, with lectures and performances, private sessions and gala shows. The routines in this volume among the best and shot live at the symposium, are very impressive and strong. Expect some knuckle busters as most of the contributors in this volume are the best names in the coin magic genre. All routines, except two (as noted), are complete with performance and explanation.

"A wonderful presentation! This is going directly into our act, highly recommended. So good, I hope no-one else buys it!" - R Lee Davis (Mind2Mind.ca)

Winnebago is a stunning 'moment-maker' routine that uses nothing more than a regular, ungimmicked deck of playing cards: one participant takes any freely chosen card into another room, only looking at it when they are totally alone...

Hier erfahren Sie das Geheimnis wie man einen Golfball in eine Glas bringt das eine zu kleine Öffnung hat, ohne den Ball oder das Glas zu verletzen. Ralf Rudolph ist ein Meister der unmöglichen Objekte. Er beschreibt hier seine eigene Methode dieses Objekt herzustellen. Mit diesem Wissen können Sie so viele Geschenke wie sie wollen anfertigen. Sie brauchen dazu kein Spezialwerkzeug oder Chemikalien. Etwas Vorbereitung und das Know-How von diesem Ebuch und der Spass kann beginnen.

[Bitte beachten Sie dass der Hersteller des Glases das Ralf empfiehlt die Abmessungen geändert hat. Dadurch kann dieses Glas nicht mehr verwendet werden. Die Methode an sich bleibt weiterhin gültig, nur müssen Sie selber experimentieren und ein passendes Glas finden. Bzw. verwenden Sie eine verbesserte Methode die weniger von den genauen Glasmassen abhängig ist wie z.B. New Way Golf Ball in Glass.

[Note: An improved method has been released by Jerry Clowin in his New Way Golf Ball in Glass.

You will learn the secret of how to get a golf ball inside a glass with an opening smaller than the golf ball, without harming either the glass or the ball. Ralf Rudolph is a master of the impossible object. He describes his method of how to make such an object. Once you know how it is done you can make as many presents as you wish. No special tools are necessary. No chemicals are used. With a bit of preparation and the know how you can make something cool.

[Note that the specific German brand of glass Ralf recommends has changed its dimensions and thus it can't be used anymore. The method itself is still valid, but you will have to experiment and search yourself for a suitable glass. Or use the improved method referenced above, which does not depend as much on the glass dimensions as this method does.]

One of the easiest and most natural tears you will ever learn.

For more than two years I've been using this practical tear to perform powerful and direct mentalism. For a long time I've kept this completely to myself, but it's come time to share this with all of you.

Imagine a tear where in just two simple tears you get your peek and the dirty work is done. Imagine a tear where you can show all sides of the paper as you tear, meaning no heat is on you because the participant sees exactly what you see. Yet you are easily able to peek 50% of the entire paper. Imagine a tear that is incredibly...

For the first time in this 15 min video (yep 15 mins it's that easy) Scott reveals the business card peek he has been using in his close up mentalism performances for many years. No manufacturing or craft skills required, no peek wallets, no business card cases, no envelopes, no special pens or any other paraphernalia, just your business cards and a pen.

One totally impromptu method, one requiring a one off 30 second set up and three variations to suit all styles.

Drop half a dozen of your business cards in your pocket along with a pen and you are all set to perform drawing duplications,...

Ask a volunteer to guess your PIN by naming any four-digit number and then prove beyond a doubt they got it right. In this 20 min video Scott shares the routine and handling he has been using for years in order to enable a volunteer to guess the PIN for his American Express Card, Visa Card, or any other card. If you prefer, you can of course have them guess the PIN for your phone.

A low-tech no nonsense, no electronics, non-magnetic and App free approach to a PIN number revelation, using business cards and a pen. Set up in seconds, resets in seconds and great for table hopping.

This ebook takes an academic look at the second deal and its use at the card table, specifically in the game of Texas Hold’em poker. This is achieved by first examining the mathematical rules of the second deal. These rules are then applied to the basic structure of Texas Hold’em and the use of the move is advanced by also considering poker strategy. In addition to this, the probabilities of dealing target cards, when using a binary marking system, are derived. The use of the second deal in conjunction with stacking techniques is also considered, with a focus on the block transfer. Whilst...

A very funny version of the collector's plot. 4 Labracadabrador cards find 3 chosen cards instantly.

A version of Roy Walton's collector's plot, which has been in my repertoire for 25 years now and has made a lot of audiences happy. As the hilarious text makes everyone laugh out loud, the thought crossed my mind to call it: "The Funniest Collectors in the World". However because of the awe-inspiring moment that is felt by everyone at the climax when the three chosen cards appear between the collector cards it is more appropriate to call it: Orgasm of Astonishment

So what is Orgasm of...

This manuscript is a compilation of methods in order to identify and track its history. In the process, it hopes to show how a given trick evolves, sometimes devolves, and ultimately reflects the periods of time this process has occurred.

The trick in this case is the "Red-Hot Mama" or "The Chicago Opener," a presentation that has been around for almost 60 years and has been a useful, dependable and enduring workhorse.

In its basic form it is an effect where a card is selected. Its back changes color and is set aside. A second card is selected, lost in the deck, and the initial selection...

The principle facilitates in determining the position and identity of the matching of cards in two decks, which have been randomized by the cutting of each deck. The principle works in conjunction with a memorized stack. A presentation is given where you don't have to commit a stack to memory.

The Gerats Principle enables you to perform the following effect:

Two decks are on the table. After two spectators have each cut one of the decks to their heart's content, the magician is able, without handling the cards, to tell whether there will be a matching of cards (ie: 2♥/2♥)) at a certain...

An improvised book-test with a borrowed newspaper.

There are dozens of newspaper tests or predictions, but this one is different, improvised, and will be remembered as hands-off.

• There are no newspaper tears or cuts, no center tear, no peek, no counting, no secret writing, no sleights, no weird procedure, no complex maths or logic or convoluted stuff, etc.
• All you need is a normal borrowed newspaper. No gimmicks, no other props, cards, swami, pens, etc. Nothing else, except ...you... and the secret.
