Un petit ebook mais au contenu tellement tellement excitant ! La routine utilise seulement deux jeux de cartes ordinaires. Lewis Ganson a écrit dans les pages de Magigram,

« C'est réellement une formidable routine du genre « Faites Comme Moi ». La routine commence de manière classique, puis développe le thème, le spectateur et magicien continuant à faire correspondre des cartes à partir de leur jeu respectif jusqu'à ce que toute une série de coïncidences évidentes ne soit intervenue. L'étalage final des cartes assorties est à la fois incroyable et spectaculaire ».

Magigram magazine ran from 1966 to 1995. It was printed by Supreme Magic Co. and edited with superb ability by Ken de Courcy. The collaborators were the best ever, just to name a few: Ken de Courcy, Edwin, Ian Adair, Peter Warlock, Max Maven, Lewis Ganson, Maurice Fogel, Arthur Carter, George Blake, David Britland, Pavel, George Johnstone, Billy McComb and a certain Aldo Colombini (I had a column for over 20 years on card magic written by Lewis Ganson).

You tie a loop in the rope and throw the scissors into it so that they hang from the loop.

Werner Miller is certainly one of the most prolific creators with regards to ESP cards. All these routines are self-working with no sleight-of-hand whatsoever.

Come dice Aldo nell' l'introduzione di questa pubblicazione "Questa routine è una di quelle che il pubblico ricorda. Credo di poter dire che ti offro un gioco stupendo che ho usato con successo centinaia di volte in ogni parte del mondo (Giappone, Sud America, Stati Uniti, etc., e in posti come il Magic Castie di Hollywood e il Magical Empire di Las Vegas). Alcuni di questi passaggi sono presi dalla mia precedente routine chiamata “Mamma Mia Rope Routine” e venduta in video con il libro di istruzioni. Altri passaggi sono tolti da un’...

Une incroyable routine en 8 phases dans laquelle un anneau s'enclave sur un morceau de corde ordinaire puis se libère. Elle peut être présentée en close-up, en déambulation et même en magie de salon ou sur scène. Cette routine est totalement différente de la routine d'Aldo "Ringing Around Too".

[Traduction et adaptation en langue française par Patrice Bernard.]

Une compilation d'étonnantes routines de corde. Une routine de corde coupée et restaurée amusante destinée aux enfants ; une routine exceptionnelle dans laquelle six boucles sont comptées, trois de ces boucles s'enclavent et les trois autres se transforment en une boucle géante comportant trois nœuds (pas de gimmick); et une routine utilisant à la fois une corde et des foulards.

Il y a aussi deux routines de corde crées par Ronald Dayton (un effet comique et une corde à travers le cou) et bien d’autres. 84 illustrations. Aucun gimmick et toutes les routines à l'exception de la...

Ever wanted to read minds of others in a hassle-free way? There have been hundreds of excellent methods in existence for extracting thoughts from people's minds. Mentalists have been "nailing" the thoughts of others, "tearing" into others' brains, having a "peek" into peoples' minds for a long time now. Imagine what it would be like if there's no need to resort to such methods. Imagine what it would be like if you are looking for the information just where you need to look? Here's something revolutionary for you.

Imagine requesting a spectator to take part in a demonstration on Thought Projection....

carry it in your wallet ... fill a stage

The following effect by Jack Yates was originally published in 1980, by Supreme Magic under the title of "Accusation." The original version is still available from Magic Inc. Dave Arch has simplified the handling, strengthened the mnemonic aids, and consequently dispensed with an additional key card originally needed to guide the mentalist.

EFFECT: After asking the group how many have ever attended a Mystery Party, the mentalist suggests, "For anyone who has never been to one, let's have one right here! You know how it is. When people come to the party,...

Almost everyone is on Facebook nowadays and odds are you have a Facebook account. But are you using it to properly promote your entertainment business? Do you even know how? Sadly, most entertainers don't realize the full potential of Facebook. To them, it is a place to shoot the bull and play games, but did you know that the proper use of Facebook could double the amount of shows you do in a year? No, this isn't hype, this is a hard fact. The trouble is most performers aren't even aware of how this can be done! Just being on Facebook...

• ROYAL ASSEMBLY: A section of a deck is cut by a spectator and dealt into four piles. The top card of each pile is a King and the bottom card is a Queen.
