Magic & Conjuring: page 241

A large coin is made to spin on its edge around the inside rim of a metal basin.

This effect was popular over a hundred years ago with all types of performers both for parties and at outdoor venues. The high keening sound made by the coin attracts a large crowd of onlookers who become fixated by the combination of sight and sound.

Kartentricks mit den Hofzinser-Zauberkarten.

Von der Einführung:

This is an exceedingly clever and versatile way to gimmick a coin to create a stunning and visual effect. It works with many coins including US quarters, half dollars and dollars, some Euro coins, as well as many other coins from various countries.

Effect: You ask a spectator for a coin. The spectator or performer marks or draws something on the coin. You show your hands empty and you show the coin clearly from both sides. At this point there is no secret second coin involved. You simply move your finger across the face of the coin and the drawing instantly changes, either vanishes or transforms...

50 neue Kartenkunststücke für jeden und ohne große Fingerfertigkeit.

Die 50 hier beschriebenen Kartenkunststücke sind für die deutsche Sprache tatsächlich neu. Einige davon habe ich aus meinen früheren Aufzeichnungen aus den fünfziger Jahren entnommen, andere stammen aus der englischen Literatur. Ich habe sie aber zumeist verändert, teilweise sogar wesentlich, so dass das Original nicht mehr wieder zu erkennen ist. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Spaß beim Lesen und Ausprobieren.

A corner of a spectator selected and signed card (no force, no exchange of the card or corner) penetrates the glass of a wrist-watch.

The effect and the method of this trick are incredible. Normally you would think that an effect like this would involve a forced card, or a secret exchange of the torn corner. But this effect uses neither. You start with a completely fair and free selection of a card. The card can be signed and marked all the way into the corner that will be torn off. Then the magician tears off a corner of the card. And that corner will penetrate the watch glass. The corner...

Elucidations of a classic card trick: The Biddle Trick

The basic plot is fairly straightforward: A card is selected and in the process of determining its identity it is winnowed down to five possibilities. Then, in a surprising act of differentiation, the selection disappears from this five–card packet and reappears elsewhere. In most cases, the selection ends up face up in the middle of a spread deck. This trick has been variously named but ultimately it was christened "The Biddle Trick", named after Elmer Biddle who published the trick in Genii magazine in 1947. It marks the first appearance of the well-known...

A super baffling book test that can be done with books in any language.

The effect is that the mentalist shows a copy of a recent ungimmicked New York Times bestseller and hands this to any spectator (no stooge). Another person, (again, no stooge) decides on the page to be used. The first spectator secretly underlines with a pencil a word on the page, closes the book and retains it.

Without touching the book or asking a single question, the mentalist circles the identical word in an ungimmicked dictionary and hands it to a member of the audience for verification. The dictionary is handed...

Also known as "Ne Plus Ultra" and "Bonus Genus", this was a favorite pocket trick at the turn of the century. Even Houdini was known to have fashioned a crude version of this out of a scrap of wood. Modern day toy companies create small dolls that make handcrafted ones a thing of the past. We located an ideal version at a local 99¢ store, it's a small figurine of a cherub playing on a flute.

EFFECT: A small doll is covered with a cloth. The cloth has a hole in the center, out of it protrudes the doll's head. The head is allowed to drop into the folds of the cloth. Immediately the cloth is shaken...

Eine unterhaltende Münzenroutine, in der Ideen von Roy Eidem, Chris Kenner und Christian Scherer kombiniert werden.

Der Vorführende produziert drei unsichtbare Münzen aus einem diebstahlsicheren Sicherheitsportemonnaie (Geldbörsenbügel) und legt diese auf den Tisch. Die Münzen werden erst sichtbar, wenn sie vom Tisch aufgenommen werden. Anschliessend zeigt der Vorführende, wie die Münzen wieder sicher im Portemonnaie versorgt werden können, d. h. wieder unsichtbar werden. Da er jedoch mit den drei Münzen ein Kunststück zeigen wollte, lässt er sie sogleich wieder aus dem Portemonnaie...

Eine überarbeitete und erweiterte Version von Lou Serranos Steel Ball Routine.

Einer kleinen Schachtel werden drei Stahlkugeln entnommen. Die Kuglen durchdringen nacheinadner sichtbar ein durchsichtiges Tuch. Danach werden die Kugeln nacheinander unsichtbar gemacht. Werden die unsichtbaren Kugeln in eine Hand gegeben, löst dies eine Energiewelle aus, durch die die Zeit um fünf Minuten zurückverschoben wird. Die Kugeln befinden sich wieder wie zu Beginn in der Schachtel, welche die ganze Zeit auf dem Tisch lag.

Rene Lavand became known around the world for his version of this classic "Two in the hand, One in the pocket" sequence.

This, then, is a streamlined, shortened version lasting less than a minute. It plays up the surprises without becoming monotonous. It can be performed silent or using brief patter.

EFFECT: Three small pieces of foam rubber are used along with a coffee cup. Two of the foam balls are placed into the cup. The remaining...

Showing that your deck is mixed and ordinary, you also show a card with a prediction written on the back. The spectator chooses a card completely at random, by rolling 1, 2 or 3 dice. You deal to their number (no force). When you reveal the prediction you have not only predicted their chosen card, but also what number they rolled on the dice.

You will need a blue and a red deck (or any two decks with matching faces but different backs) to make this yourself. No arts and craft, just a sharpie and a bit of writing. The dice are optional. You can use real dice, you can use a dice app on your...

Imagine the performer going to a corner in any room, turning his back so he can’t see what is going on and having someone just point to a card from a deck spread face up on a table. With no verbal communication from his assistant, the performer then reveals the card.

He does this without seeing the deck and without the aid of secret electronics. The performer can be closely watched and nothing will be found to be amiss. This is a real fooler done under test conditions and will fool many magicians.

Full Effect: The mentalist or medium goes to a corner of the room and turns his back. He...

Charles Morritt was able to hold the entire theatre audience spellbound with what was, in essence, a pocket trick. After inviting two members of the audience onstage he would allow them to figuratively change places, thus transcending and descending their social classes using only two purses and four coins. Two copper coins, held by the "workingman", and two gold coins, held by the "uppercrust", change places while being held in purses by each witness. This updated version replaces much of the skill required by substituting gimmicks that can easily be made at home, while retaining the powerful...
