Magic & Conjuring: page 214

Jack Yates is renowned as a creative innovator as evidenced by his many contributions to magical literature. This work contains nine first-class routines with a mental flavour including Clue which is worth its weight in gold and the P&S System.

Contents

• Spy Story: A spectator's selected card is revealed when the performer magically decodes a secret message.
• Choice: A spectator chooses one...

a cannibal cards routine + three bonus effects

"Very, very good!" - Gary Jones

From the sleightly demented minds of Kyle MacNeill and Cameron Francis comes a cool cavalcade of carnivorous card creations: Four tricks inspired by the Lin Searles' "Cannibal Cards" plot.

The main event is "They Are What They Eat", a super direct cannibal cards routine with a powerhouse kicker ending!

Effect:

Three "Vampire" Jokers are introduced. Three cards are then selected and placed on the table. One at a time, the selections are run through the Joker packet whereupon they lose their ink, turning...

Three profound experiences you can give to an audience.

Includes Emotional Empathy: A drawing test where the best case scenario is that the drawings do NOT match! This takes the drawing test into whole new realms. With Emotional Empathy you'll always be silently hoping the drawings DO NOT MATCH! The real magic in Emotional Empathy lies in the fact that the performer will create a long-lasting, unforgettable and PERMANENT change in the lives of a loving couple, creating for them a life of "abundance". An opportunity for the performer to be forever remembered as the supreme talisman.

CONTENTS:

• EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE: Four indifferent cards change into four duplicates of a selection and revert back to indifferent cards.

All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards!

CONTENTS:

• DOUBLE PINOCHLE WITH AN ELEVATOR FINISH: Four cards, two JD’s and two QS’s change into four Aces. Then the Aces travel up and down through the deck.
• FOUR-ACE VANISH AND RECOVERY: The four Aces are seen to vanish in a deck of cards and then they reappear face up in the middle of the deck.

"It's hard to find a new plot in magic or mentalism but Stefan has cracked it with his EGGstremely Dangerous routine. I can't wait to put this into an act. It will play well with all ages." - Wayne Rogers

"If you are looking to add some great comedy to your mentalism act, then look no further. This is one of the funniest mental routines I have seen. It is sure to please any audience." - Devin Knight

The Sanda-Panda Mystery Box is an ungimmicked 6"x 4" cardboard box. It is always in full view and gives you the ability to make near impossible predictions. No pre-show work and all are ONE-MAN effects. No secret assistants or stooges are used in any of the effects. NO FORCES of any kind are used in any effect.

IMPOSSIBLE CARD PREDICTION: Two participants form a card to ensure the choice is random. One chooses the suit and the other the value with no restrictions. You take the lid off the box - inside is a deck of cards and a folded 8" x 5" piece of paper. The participant unfolds the paper....

David Hoy was a mentalist who later billed himself as genuine psychic. In this audio recording he tries to teach you how to develop your own psychic abilities.

Here is the original back cover text:

Peter Warlock's legendary monthly magazine New Pentagram ran for 20 years. During those two decades some of the finest close-up and stage magic of the period was explained in its pages. Aldo has selected ten routines from each volume (in chronological order), so you should expect 20 download DVDs dedicated to this great magazine.

You will have: Card tricks, mental effects, coin routines, tricks with rings, etc, from magicians like Alex Elmsley, Peter Warlock, Max Maven, Francis Haxton, Ian Adair, Al Koran, Eddie Joseph, Ali Bongo, Milton Kort, Arthur Carter, Robert Neale, Peter Kane, Jack Avis and many more!

• STRANGERS TILL WE MEET (Francis Haxton): Two cards appear at the same...

More magic from the pages of Peter Warlock’s legendary magazine.

CONTENTS:

• COIN GO (Phoa Yan Tiong): A coin placed into the folds of a banknote (bill) disappears.
• ANSWER TO A PROBLEM (Francis Haxton): Three cards from a blue-backed deck are placed on the table. A spectator selects three cards from a red-backed deck and they match the previous cards.

• THE THREE FOUR ACES (Herb Runge): A very easy and unique four-ace assembly.
• TRIODENAL CARDS (Peter McDonald): You leave a prediction in view....

An effect by Paul Gordon performed by Aldo Colombini. You show some Jokers. The backs of the cards are red. One Joker with a big X on its back is placed among the cards and now all the cards have a big X on their backs. One card with a big O on its back is placed among the cards and now all the cards have big O’s on their backs. Finally, the cards are all back to normal. The big surprise comes when five cards are turned over and a letter appears on each card spelling the word MAGIC (or any other message, a Royal Flush, etc).

You will need five blank-faced cards.

A deck is shuffled. While the performer's back is turned, one spectator selects and remembers a card, which he then loses into the deck. No one knows where this card is. Its identity is known only to the spectator. Now, a second spectator merely thinks of a number. The performer mixes the cards further, and spreads them face up to show the cards to be completely mixed. The second spectator now, for the 1st time, reveals her thought of number. The spectator is handed the deck. She deals the cards one at a time until she reaches her thought of number. The card arrived at is the card being thought...

Equivo-Lock is David's version of Seven Keys to Baldpate by Annemann. An ungimmicked padlock and seven keys are given to a spectator. The spectator tries all seven keys and finds out that none of the keys will open the lock. The performer now produces an eighth key, which does open the lock. The spectator now relocks the padlock, and the keys are placed into a wine glass. The keys are then mixed. The spectator now uses her powers of intuition to eliminate all but one of the eight keys. The selected key is tried in the lock and the lock opens!

The lock is not gimmicked and maybe completely examined....

An uncanny demonstration of apparent thought-reading.

THREE SMASH HITS: You show a packet of cards (saying that it contains the four Queens) and leave it aside. You also show another packet of four cards and they are seen to be the four Queens. A spectator FREELY touches any card and this is revealed to be, say, the QC.

FIRST EFFECT: The QC is seen to be the only reversed card in the other packet.

SECOND EFFECT: This card has a red back, while the other three are blue-backed cards.

THIRD EFFECT: The three blue-backed cards are seen to have blank faces.

Easy to do. At the...

The routine is based on Frank Garcia's "Five-Card Stunner" but also on handlings by Ken de Courcy and Herb Rungay. It is perfect for stand-up performers (parlor or stage) with no table required. You show a black card (say the 9C) and four red cards. When the cards are fanned, there are only four and they are all red; the black card has vanished. You eliminate one red card and then you remove the missing black card from the pocket. Again the cards are shown and then fanned. There are three red cards; the black card vanishes for the second time. You eliminate another red card and remove the black...

More great magic of Nick Trost. All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• FOUR-WAY MATCH-UP: You lay four cards on the table. The spectator separates the deck into four packets and at the face of each packet he finds the matching cards of the previous four.
• THREE MATCHED PAIRS: A spectator picks three pairs while you deal cards and they are the only matching pairs of the packet.
• SUITS OF SYMPATHY: A stunning routine. You place the hearts cards in a glass. The Diamonds cards are shuffled by a spectator and they match the Hearts cards. Stunning.
• REPEAT ROYAL MARRIAGES:...
