There are many photos which support the explanations.] COLOR CHANGING DECK: Magician lets a card be chosen from a blue back deck, rubs his back against a red box and the card changes its back colour from blue to red. Then he does a demonstration of how he changes the colour of the backs of the cards, in slow motion. He slides his fingers over the back of another card and it changes its colour little by little until the back remains completely red. Not satisfied with that, he gives a magic touch with the red box on the deck and it changes the back colour of all the cards from blue to red. The deck can be examined at the end of the routine.

All you wanted to know about Change Bags and 101 Tricks you can do with themSam DalalTo the average magician, a Change bag is a device like a collection bag, that changes a couple of silks, ribbons, rope or other similar items. Well, there are several varieties of those, with short handles for one hand operation, and longer ones for two hand operation, with single and double compartments (for a double change), with zippers to poke your hand through - Sam Dalal has made over a dozen varieties of this for his Magic service. But there are many other types of "change bags" like draw string bags and ladies' purses, paper "pop bags", mesh shopping bags and crystal clear bags, some... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish list | |

Automata: Beyond Self-Working MagicR. ShaneFrom the preface: Self-working magic, if you won't hold the pun against me, is a tricky thing. Some will tell you, as I will, that there is no such thing as truly self-working magic. That is true. Every trick, regardless of method, requires a presentation, a character, a flow of action to become more than a trick, to become an effect. With the proper method, it may become an effect worth doing. But in the beginning, it's just a trick. And tricks, well, tricks can truly be self-working. But do we really need another book of self-working tricks? Hasn't all the good stuff been done... | ★★★★★ $25 currentlyunavailable | |

Forgetting dictionary definitions for the moment, as magicians we can rattle... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish list | |
Grandpa's Fruit KnivesJim SistiFrom the introduction: One of the things that I had to come to grips with when I became a full-time professional performer more than 20 years ago was that I needed to stop focusing on tricks that I liked and had to find ones that my spectators liked. I also decided to try and make my presentations less expositional ("Watch this coin…" kind of stuff) and more about personal expression – letting the audience get to know me perhaps a little bit better as a result of the magic. This manuscript is the result of my explorations into the Color-Changing Knives. I always loved the trick but... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
