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

This routine has served TC very well for years. It was a major part of both his restaurant work and his Close-up show at the Magic Castle, for which he was nominated Close-up Magician of the Year.

"Perfect example of Jazz Magic." - Daryl

"Fantastic routine, so much magic with just one knife!" - Michael Ammar

The routine is fun, fast and entertaining...

"I love Salt Pours, I think I have every market version, and TC’s ranks right up there with the best of them. Funny and Magical!" - Paul Romhany

"Rarely does a working pro magician release his good stuff to others. Even more rarely does he also include his pet original comedy lines and comic situations. I would dash, not saunter, to buy this series from TC Tahoe!" - Dan Garrett

TC teaches you how to make a salt pour gimmick, the best salt to use and two different routines direct from his Cruise Ship show.

After Tarbell finished his 60 lesson Tarbell Course he decided to continue with post-graduate lessons. The name post-graduate stems from the fact that Tarbell sent out graduation diplomas for all who followed along his 60 lesson course. To my knowledge he only published one such post-graduate lesson. If you know about more such lessons I would be delighted to hear from you.

The Tarbell Course is without a doubt the most comprehensive and most encompassing magic literary work in existance today. It has almost 1300 pages and nearly 2900 illustrations. It covers practically every form of magic: sleight of hand with cards, coins, thimbles, cigarettes, silks, ropes, ..., up to mentalism and illusions. It goes beyond the mere technique and teaches patter, routining, marketing and other often neglected facets of being a magician. There is no other book which comes even close in breadth and depth of the material covered. It is amazing that since the late 1920s nobody has...

Ten routines, with cards and other objects.

Contents:

• ELEVATION 39 (Aldo Colombini): An 'elevator' routine with a surprising double climax.
• FUTURE SHOCK (Roy Walton): A card is selected and found by your two predictions, which eventually find their mates.
• AVENUE (Hiro Sakai): A spectacular way to produce the four Aces.
• NUMISMATRICK (Al Thatcher): Several coins are placed on the table and shuffled by a spectator while you are facing away. One coin is covered and you can tell if it is a head or tail.
• ITALIAN POKER (Aldo Colombini): You show a strange poker game, a sort of magician vs...

Magic for everyone: Close-up, parlor and stage. Rachel and Aldo Colombini are performing and explaining the following routines:

• RING TWICE (Aldo Colombini): Two rings are threaded on a piece of rope. One is selected and it becomes free (or vice versa!).
• SORCERER’S STONE (Rachel Colombini): Five ‘stones’ are shown and a spectator selects one. While you are back to the audience you find the selected stone. Can be done with any objects (even with people) and over the phone.
• CONTROL COINS (Subir Kumar Dhar): Great impromptu coin routine. No sleights at all, yet, you predict the chosen...

Take a Chance is a collection of five entertaining and unusual magical routines all based around the Monopoly board game.

Lucky or Not
After you and the spectators mix the Community Chest cards you can decide who is going to be lucky and who will be unlucky.

In the Money
The spectator has a free choice of any property on the board. Yet the prediction envelope contains the correct amount of money.

Hotel Okito
An Okito box routine where a little green house always finds it's way to the red hotel. Penetrating the brass box and even going through a full box of playing cards. Eventually...

2002 and a small lecture tour. Harris needed an oddity that would contrast his card work. Some visual and aural distraction. TacTics was the answer. 150 units were assembled, fingers burned, and instructions written. The item was quite popular and did end up in an issue of Genii. Here is the original manuscript, re-edited and with clear photos. Ideas with color-changes, sound-based illusion and the "Milk Pitcher" application allowing you to vanish tictacs, half a container at a time, till they're ALL GONE!

1st edition 2002; 14 pages

Invisibly switch a folded playing card (bill, cash, sugar pack, ...) against another right in front of their eyes.

Destined to be in your EDC (everyday carry). A real crowd-pleaser. A perfect close-up and table-hopping effect. A very fast, angle-proof, and up-close transformation with spectator involvement. Not a thumb-tip. This effect uses a homemade gimmick that most homes would have. The gimmick takes about five minutes to make. Both playing cards can be inspected.

You can also change bills, billets, cash a check, change sugar to sweeten low, etc.

Absolutely incredible misdirection...

Inspired by a recent internet challenge, Ben Harris has "Le Pauled" the regular baggie! This creates a clever and practical alternative to the traditional Card In Wallet plot.

With Sweet Spot, a card, a coin, a borrowed ring or a credit card is made to vanish only to appear seconds later IN THE MIDDLE of the contents of a sealed baggie.

This can be filled with sand, candies, stamps, money, oregano, or whatever you want. The presentation angles are up to you. We give you a few to start with like the "Magic Sands of the Sahara," "Mr Blonds Revenge," "The Stamp Collector," "My Favorite Coin...
