John Gelasi presents three all new killer packet tricks that you can perform with any deck!

Pack3t is an ebook containing three packet tricks that you will use for all of your impromptu situations. Grab any deck, and using just the cards you take from it, you're ready to perform impromptu packet tricks that don't even look impromptu.

Magic of the impromptu category is always nice to have under your belt so you're ensured to have tricks that deliver, even when you leave your favorite...

A spectator selects an ace, say the Ace of Hearts. The magician explains that he made a prediction earlier, and shows a packet of four blue backed cards, apparently a single ace among three jokers. With a snap, the magician claims that he can make the selected ace turn face up. One card does reverse, but a joker. Despite this, the performer shows that he clearly has three jokers and only one ace: the selected ace, the Ace of Hearts! One of the jokers is now turned over to reveal another prediction: the back is now red, and has writing that reads “Ace of Hearts”! All of the cards may now...

A card is selected from the deck, say the 8 of Clubs. Four Jokers with red backs are introduced. The performer claims that the jokers will reveal what card the spectator selected. One of the jokers is placed with the deck. The other three now have bold words printed on their backs: the three cards together read “Eight of Clubs”! The remaining face down joker is seen to have transformed into the selection! The magician then claims that the jokers did more than just reveal the selection, but they also revealed the mates of the selection: the three cards that have words on their backs are now...

An effortless Open Prediction effect!

You bring a red backed prediction out of your pocket along with a blue backed deck of cards.

"Have you ever been in a situation in which you regretted not following your first intuition? Intuition is a very intriguing concept for scientists and psychologists. It provides us with beliefs that we cannot necessarily justify. Today, we're going to re-enact one of those experiments and hopefully this may lead to a successful ending."

You deal the cards face down one by one on the table as you ask the spectator to tell you to stop when she 'feels' it...

A B'Wave effect with a new twist!

You remove two packets of cards – one red back and one blue back - from your wallet. The red backed packet is placed at the center of the mat and the blue backed packet is placed into your left hand. You explain that you are going to play a game similar to poker. You point out the four-card packet on the table saying,

"I have four cards here and among them lie three Aces of different suits. I've added an indifferent card that might come in useful in a few moment. In my hand I have five cards. Four are Aces and the fifth is a duplicate of the missing...

You can carry a piece (or more) of rope in your pocket, and use it to perform some amazing magic for an intimate audience of a couple of spectators, or on a stage for an audience of hundreds. There are hundreds of tricks you can perform with a piece of rope. The most famous of these is the Cut & Restored Rope trick, where a piece of rope is cut into two or more pieces, and magically restored.

But there are many others, where knots magically appear or vanish from a length of rope, rings or handkerchiefs penetrate through a length of rope, or a rope penetrates through your knee or neck. There...

The original trick, first released by Devin Knight in 1972 and long off the market. It is available again, after being one of his most popular effects during a recent lecture tour. You show a deck of cards and have a lady freely select a card. There is no force. The lady may sign the card if you wish. The card is returned to the deck and lost.

You tell the lady that you will give her magical powers and that she will find her card with magic. This always intrigues the lady you are performing it for. You ask the lady to blow a kiss toward the deck. The deck is spread and an image of a kiss...

From the Preface:

Ecco un altra opera del grande "maestro" Annemann. Materiale di sicuro impatto e successo che spazia in diversi campi: cartomagia, close up e mentalismo. Note e bei disegni del traduttore rendono molto più chiara la spiegazione.

Ecco alcuni degli effetti contenuti nel lavoro:

TRASPOSIZIONE ISTANTANEA

Effetto. Sventagliando un mazzo di carte ben mischiato, il performer chiede ad uno spettatore di selezionare una carta e scrive le proprie iniziali sulla faccia della carta stessa. La carta selezionata è apertamente posta nella tasca dello spettatore. MAI FUORI DALLA VISTA. Essa non...
