Magic & Conjuring: page 357

Re-Thinks is a new series of eBooks from TC Tahoe.

"TC is one of bizarre magics most inventive minds. In this great new book he presents a series of routines which engage the audience in a way that true magical entertainment should. There are some great ideas and unique twists in this book which will be enjoyed by any magical performer that has ventured to the darkside. These are the kinds of ideas you can't wait to try and can visualise yourself doing. This comes highly recommended from me and is a great addition to your library." - Freddie Valentine

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

• Monty: Three spectators choose one card each and then exchange them so that no one has his original selection. Despite this you are able to tell each spectator the identity of the card he now holds.
• Spy Story: A spectator's selected card is revealed when the performer magically decodes a secret message.
• Choice: A spectator chooses one...

This is the best vanishing deck gimmick created to this date.

A spectator picks a card, remembers it, and even signs it. The magician cleanly inserts the card into the front of the pack. He then spreads the deck showing that the card is lost somewhere in the pack. With no funny moves he squeezes the deck and it literally "melts" in his hand, leaving only one card, the spectator's signed selection!

The meLt ebook not only teaches you how to make the gimmick.......it is a full 110 page book that includes two routines, instructions on how to make three different versions of the gimmick, and...

Controlling a card to the top or to the bottom is the most fundamental technique in card magic. Every card magician should have at least one good method to do that. Consequently many authors use the phrase "control card to the top/bottom with your preferred method" and leave the rest to the reader assuming that everyone already has his or her preferred method. While you might have your favorite method, the search for better ones never stops.

In this ebook Jon Racherbaumer describers several - as he calls them 'finessed' methods - to control a card to the top or to the bottom. You should find...

First time released as PDF. These are the highly sought after lecture notes from Devin's first lecture at Mindvention in 2009. Includes the amazing INSIGHT.

INSIGHT -- Another Clever ACCAN

You invite two spectators to help in this experiment. You remove a deck of cards casually show them face up while you remove the joker. They are placed face down on the table. You ask one of the spectators to cut off a block and look at a card. Not to remove it, just THINK of it. You really don't know what card the person is thinking about! The selection is made in the spectator's hands. The magician...

When 99¢ per minute phone calls were all the rage, and the charges would simply be added onto your phone bill, Dave Arch audio recorded a magic show that he made available through one of the 99¢ per minute phone services. The ebook contains the scripts for the 19 magic tricks that were his show. Additionally you will get a recording of the entire show as MP3. If you're doing the math . . . at 2 minutes per magic trick and 19 magic tricks, you'd be paying $37.62 to enjoy the entire show (and worth every penny). How you choose to use the show in this ebook and audio recording is completely...

Predictions are one of the most important plots in mentalism. As a performer you want to be ready to make a perfect prediction any time any where. And you want it to be simple, clean, and unsuspicious.

Imagine being able to make a prediction without any force, without any switch, with borrowed items, without any suspicious movements. Spot is a 100% impromptu way to make a prediction of any kind:

• ESP symbols
• Initial names
• Numbers
• Dates
• Playing Cards
• Etc.

The method behind Spot is so simple, so easy and yet so deceptive and powerful....

Luck of the Draw reading system. This is a wonderful easy system that is well suited to entertainment readings as well as being able to go more in-depth. It is great for walk-a-round situations too. TC often uses Luck of The Draw as an "add-on" to other readings. It is fun and very non-offense style of oracle, as it deals with "Lucky Items".

Revised edition 2012, 17 pages.

In der Literatur beschriebene Kunststücke werden zu einer rund 30 Minuten dauernden Falschspieldemonstration verwoben, die jederzeit mit jedem beliebigen Spiel ohne Vorbereitung ausgeführt werden kann! Dennoch wer­den die Zuschauer über­zeugt sein, dass der Vorführende der grösste Falschspielex­perte ist, den sie je gesehen haben. Es werden verschiedene Möglich­keiten demonstriert, wie ein Falschspieler sich die be­sten Karten teilen kann und ein Spiel selbst dann gewinnt, wenn der Zuschauer die Kar­ten zuvor gemischt hat. Anhand einer Ge­schichte zeigt der Vorführende, was naiven...

Christian Scherers Version von Al Korans Blindfold Card Act. Bei dieser mit echt verbunden Augen vorgeführten, aus fünf Effek­ten be­ste­henden Kartenroutine demonstriert der Künstler, dass er über ausseror­dentli­che Fähigkeiten verfügt: Er ist in der Lage, mit verbundenen Augen Finge­rabdrücke auf einer Spiel­karte zu erta­sten, die Gehirnströme eines Zuschau­ers zu spüren, durch auf ihn übertragenen persönlichen Magne­tis­mus eine gewählte Spielkarte aus dem Spiel herauszuziehen, eine zu­fällig durch Würfeln be­stimmte Karte zu erfühlen und im von Zuschauern ge­mischten Spiel bei Karten...

Alles, was Sie schon immer über das Dice Stacking (Auftürmen von Würfeln mit Hilfe eines Bechers) wissen wollten: Material, Grund­tech­nik, verschie­dene Stacks, das Abbauen der aufgetürm­ten Würfel, das Stehlen, La­dun­gen, das Verschwindenlassen der Würfel – nichts wird ausgelassen. Zudem wird eine äusserst unter­haltende Dice-Stacking-Routine erklärt. Im Rahmen einer span­nenden Geschichte wird auf unter­hal­tende Weise der Wettstreit zwi­schen dem Zau­ber­künst­ler und einem Falsch­spieler präsen­tiert.

The download DVD is a complete Chan Canasta television broadcast from a 1960's BBC TV Show. You see a professional entertainer perform, how he controls his spectators, and how he builds up the effects.

Chan first performs a few card effects and closes with a book test. In the beginning spectators take a few cards each and Canasta divines which cards each one has. Then two spectators take one card from a full deck each and they magically take the same card. Later a spectator takes two cards from a deck and puts each one in one of his pockets, without Canasta looking, but again Canasta knows...

From the beginning of mentalism, there have been only two ways that a skilled mentalist can appear to read minds. Either tell them what to think or find out what they're thinking after the fact. In this video, you'll find standard card techniques that will allow you to appear to read minds by peeking secret information that's been written down.

The first effect is a play on the standard Desire effect. Five spectators record destinations they want to go on vacation and one by one using simple card techniques you can peek the information LIVE! Next you'll learn a basic center tear, an impromptu...

This is one of the most innovative cups and balls routines. Maestro Leonardo featured the routine in his IBM competition entry in 2008 in the UK and received a standing ovation from the audience. There are no moves in the routine that relate to any other cups and balls effects. The loads are invisible, and there is virtually no way that they can be spotted. Anyone who plans to use this routine and is prepared to put in the work perfecting it, could have a short act that is suitable for any kind of show venue. The Medieval Cups and Balls routine culminates with the production of water, a long...
