Magic & Conjuring: page 191

This is the first of three parts. It is by far the most thorough compilation of rope tricks ever created. From the preface by Percy Abbott:

You take a cigarette with two fingers and with a smooth movement the cigarette disappears into thin air.

• Easy to perform and easy to make. Requires some arts and crafts to make the gimmick, but only takes a few minutes to construct.
• Visual and practical. Watch your angles. This is only invisible from a restricted viewing angle.

Mental Fooler is a great and direct effect. It looks like you really know how to read the spectator's mind. The most important element is that you can do this with a borrowed shuffled deck. Everything is done with the cards face down. You take a borrowed deck of cards and remove a couple of cards. While you are turned away the spectator first shuffles these cards and then only thinks of one of them. Then you explain to him how to spell a card and move for each character a card from top to bottom. While you are again turned away the spectator spells the thought of card silently. You are able...

Learn six different marking systems for a Bicycle Rider Back design. There are both reader back and coder back marking systems shared here. Each marking system is unique and is suited for varying performing scenarios.

This is a compilation of all three volumes of Pigment and Pixel for the price of two individual ones.

[Reader Backs are marking systems where the value and suit are explicitly written on the back of the card (often hidden within the design). Coder Backs are marking systems where the back patterns/design is used to tell the value and suit of the card.]

There are no tricks with a marked deck taught in this ebook.

A thread that penetrates stuff, your hand, your thumb, a playing card ...

The performer shows a piece of thread that hangs down from his hand. A playing card is held with the other hand behind the thread. With one smooth motion, the thread penetrates the card and is suddenly behind the playing card. It is hard to believe your eyes.

The gimmick is easy to make and there are no bad angles. This looks as good from the back as it does from the front.

Der Vorführende zeigt eine Version des Hütchenspiels mit drei Zündholzschachteln und einem weissen Würfel. Der Würfel wird unter eine Schachtel gegeben und die Schachteln werden durcheinandergebracht. Entgegen der Erwartung der Zuschauer befindet sich der Würfel immer unter der mittleren Schachtel.

A merge of ACCAN and Do As I Do.

ACAAN is one of the most loved card plots and Do As I Do is one of the most ignored. ACAAN meets a Monkey is a unique cross-over between both of them.

Here two cards get chosen, one by the performer and one by the participant. Both cards are then lost and the cards get shuffled. Both cards are later found by the participant at the number that the participant decides on.

Flow of Events:

• A pack of cards gets cut into 2 packets by the participant.
• The participant picks one packet and the performer picks the other one.
• Both of them show one card from...

An amazing twist to the Red Hot Mama/Chicago Opener routine.

A card is selected and placed back into the middle of the deck. The magician states the selected card will reveal itself to him. As he spreads through the deck, a card with a different colored back and a paperclip with a note attached to it is seen. The note reads "Your Card!"

The card is turned over, revealing the selected card. The paper-clipped card is set aside, facing down. A second spectator selects another card and an attempt is made to repeat the effect.

As the magician spreads through the cards, a second with an...

The sequel to It Must Be Mindreading, this ebook reads like a novel - fast-paced, exciting, and with powerful effects.

Excerpt from the introduction:

This is a 15-minute one-man routine with no props or gimmicks, an act that can baffle and stun your audiences because they can't have the faintest idea of how it's done. No questions are written down, nothing is said by the spectator, and yet you answer the question or problem of which he's thinking. You do it without any obvious "fishing" of any kind. And you do this not with just one person but with as many as ten, as time allows, regardless of the makeup of any particular audience.

George Anderson developed a unique "no questions written" approach to the Q&A act which he developed to...

Der Einsatz von Computeranimation und künstlicher Intelligenz macht es manchmal schwierig, Fakten und Fiktion voneinander zu unterscheiden. Um dies zu illustrieren, übergibt der Vorführende einem Zuschauer eine chinesische Lochmünze. Der Zuschauer fädelt diese auf eine rote Schnur mit weissen Enden.

Der Vorführende zieht die Münze von der Schnur ab und erklärt dass es zwei Möglichkeiten gäbe, die Münze wieder auf die Schnur zu fädeln – über das eine oder das andere Ende, jedoch nicht über die Mitte der Schnur. Dabei wird die Münze sichtbar auf die Mitte der Schnur aufgefädelt,...
