Magic & Conjuring: page 369

The Master Routine Series first began in 1984 and over the next 20 years a total of 12 routines were released. Originally available as separate instruction booklets, all 12 have now been brought together into one ebook thus providing a worthy format for some of Mark's best work.

All the text has been looked at and re-written where necessary and every diagram has been completely re-drawn by magician artist James Fortune, and his excellent illustrations make a helpful and stylish addition to the text explanations.

The 12 routines encompass a wide variety of themes for both close up and stand...

Daniel teaches four card changes - so called color changes:

• The Fan Change
• The Wheel Change
• The Swing Change
• Delusion

The Fan Change
This is what Daniel considers to be a signature color-change and it is one of his favorites. A card is turned face up on top of the deck. The deck is fanned and before the fan closes the face up card has changed to another card.

The fan change is impromptu, it can be performed with any deck of cards and isn't hard to achieve. To stub a misconception...the top card is not being taken away from...

An Out Of This World variation, streamlined and ready for performing situations without a table.

BASIC EFFECT:

The performer talks about intuition, chance and that little feeling we get when we know something is right, or wrong. A deck of cards is introduced and legitimately shuffled. Half the deck is put away to streamline the demonstration. The other half is then handed to the spectator and the performer offers his/her outstretched palms as a surface to deal on to. The spectator deals the cards into two piles about equal amounts of cards in each, but in no specific order. Once all the...

Four years have passed since I released the original Pieces at 3am. The book that came to be one of Dee's best selling collections and the single publication that spawned most variations by other artists of his original thoughts and ideas.

Dee has had the thought of doing a second volume for years, but he has never had the correct collection of effects and concepts that he felt could adhere to the original thought. All of the effects in the original book were ideas that came to him as he woke in a cold sweat at night. They were pieces that entered his conscious mind after dark, usually at around 3 am. ...

"Dee Christopher offers here a unique text focusing solely on the area of deception that he has come to dominate in recent years. This tome is a perfect example of why." - Daniel Madison (Deceptions Expert)

From the ebook's synopsis:

• Powerful.
• Easy to do.
• 100% Success rate.
• No markings or magnetics.
• Brand new method.
• Logical items to carry
• Can be performed in any situation.
• 1 minute set up and you're good for hundreds of performances.

"Dee Christopher has managed to find an exciting and original way to introduce a dangerous stage classic to the close-up arena. A marvel idea from an amazing artist." - Daniel Madison

"Great bit of original thinking mixed in with the prospect of burning things. Double win! Sadly, it always works...so it's terrible for pyromaniacs." - Paul Brook Mind Reader

From the introduction by Dee...

Das Off-Prinzip ist ein Universalprinzip für Kartentricks – ein Universalfooler.

Manchmal verwechseln wir Fortschritt mit Neuheit. Nicht alles Neue ist eine Verbesserung; Verbesserung ist Einfachheit. Das Off-Prinzip bietet weniger die Neuheit aber mehr den Fortschritt. Das Off-Prinzip versucht nicht Breaks oder Kontrollen abzulösen und dennoch werden sie so brauchbar wie ein Mp3-Player wenn man schon ein Smartphone hat. Das Off-Prinzip ist nicht nur für Fortgeschrittene und dennoch wird fast jeder Kartentrick dadurch fortgeschrittener.

Kontrollen verschaffen dem Performer Kontrolle...

Using storytelling to not only effectively enhance effects, but also your show.


As a performer, I generally prefer the methods of the tricks I choose to be simple, the plots clear, and the magic...well, magical. I use stories to draw the audience in. To find interest in not only the effect I am presenting but also in me.

The Why and Way - How I use Stories, that help ensure my audiences remember Me and not just the effects.

Imagine:

The magician introduces a special deck of 52 cards, where each card is seen to have a number 1 through 52 printed on it. The spectators (two of them) are asked to verify that all the numbers are indeed different, that there aren't any duplicate numbers. The magician hands one spectator this special deck (in a face-down position) and says, "I want you to select a number 1 through 52. But instead of just thinking of a number 1 through 52, I want you to randomly select one. Like that, even you don't know what number you'd end up with, thereby eliminating any psychological influence....

Imagine:

The magician introduces a deck of cards. The spectator can thoroughly examine it, after which they can freely shuffle it for as long as they want in any way that they want. Once they're done shuffling, the magician invites them to spread through the deck face down and select any two cards that they like. They leave these face down on the table. The magician then instructs them to turn one of them face-up - let's suppose it is the JS. As for the other one, the magician tells the spectator not to look at this card yet - it will be a mystery for the end.

The spectator is then...

Il gioco di carte Elicottero del mio insegnante è una commedia in tre atti. Un mazzo di carte viene mescolato. Una quarantina di carte vengono sparse sul tavolo davanti al mago e le altre servono per realizzare un ventaglio di carte. Allo spettatore seduto direttamente di fronte alle carte sul tavolo viene chiesto di prendere una carta dal ventaglio. La carta dello spettatore viene mostrata al pubblico e poi rimessa nel ventaglio delle carte. La carta scelta vola, invisibilmente, dal ventaglio di carte alle carte sul tavolo ma lo spettatore non può vedere come ciò avvenga. Il gioco si ripete...

An impromptu, gimmick-free, borrowed deck miracle. A location and divination of a selected card under test conditions. Read on.

Imagine:

The magician introduces a deck of cards. The spectator can thoroughly examine it, after which they can freely shuffle it for as long as they want in any way that they want.

Once they're done shuffling, the magician invites them to look through the deck (faces towards themself, backs towards the magician) and select any two cards that they like. Let's suppose they select the two black A's. They turn these face-up and leave them on the table.

In this fantastic ebook, you'll find the truly impromptu tricks found in The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks, together with dozens of notes not found in the original. These notes add new and interesting tricks and fresh ideas for presentation and even patter in some instances. But that's not all. We have added many illustrations that help clarify the description of certain tricks. Another thing we have done is adding, in some cases, the original advertisements that were used to sell these tricks when they were put on sale way back then.

Truly impromptu means that you take a normal shuffled deck and immediately, with no preparation...
