This is classic Juan Tamariz, a longer routine with four effects. It uses the Tamariz memorized deck. In the explanation part Juan gives you the exact sequence of his memorized deck. Important to know is that there are no difficult moves. Most of the heavy lifting is done by the stack itself and some false shuffles and false cuts.

Effect:

Juan shows a full deck of cards and mixes face-up and face-down cards by shuffling, cutting and turning over packs. Then all the cards are assembled into a pile, the performer riffles the corners and the spectator peeks at a card. Without looking at the...

Any card at any number.

At the beginning of your card set you display a blue backed deck and place it into your pocket for later. You then remove a red deck and blow everyone away with all your hottest stuff. Just before you end you suggest an experiment, a long shot if you will. Something that, should it work will guarantee many a sleepless night. You ask a spectator to just think of any card. Then you ask them to just think of any number between 1 and 52. The choices are written on the back of a Joker and left in plain view for all to see. You propose that you will, through shuffling and...

Stage card magic routines are relatively rare. In this ebook, however, you will find a complete stage card magic act with a lot of surprises and fun. The performer talks about a trip around the world. Six cards are chosen by six members of the audience. The performer then demonstrates how the cards would be found in several countries: China, USA, France, Russia and India.

A great routine packed with mystery, surprise and a lot of fun. Can be worked with the help of an assistant or solo.

A great ebook for those interested in creating their own mechanical (rough and smooth) trick decks or restoring old ones.

The mechanical decks described in the first part of this ebook were brand new when first published, and represented a value - in today's dollars - of nearly $195 if purchased from a dealer. But that's not all. In this revised and expanded edition, you also get complete instructions for making your own Brainwave and Pop-Eyed Popper decks. While you can buy them ready-made from a dealer, making them yourself allows you to create custom decks, such as with airline or other...

A cool color change. (Also part of Move Mastery 1.)

runtime: 1min 17s

You take a playing card and with one finger slowly and visually evaporate the back of the card, leaving the frame of the card, and develop it back. Easy to make from any white-framed playing card. No black art. No CGI.

Effect: Four blue-back cards are shown. One at a time each card - the Ace, Two, Three, and Four of Diamonds - turn face up. Their backs then change to red and then one at a time the backs change back to blue. Finally, the cards change to four Fours of Diamonds.

Rise Up is a rising card effect that uses a small gimmick that can be constructed at home with available items. It is easy to construct. You have full control over the rise. Stop the rise at your wish or stop it when spectators says stop.

• No thread work
• No elastics
• No magnets
• Do with or without card box

1st edition 2016, length 12 min.

A new way to create an impossible souvenir. A card is selected. Show a small photo frame. Draw your prediction, which turns out to be wrong, but ... it turns into a correct one. The selected card rises out of the drawing. You can sign it and hand out the drawing as a souvenir, the frame, too if you want.

The construction of the gimmick requires arts and crafts. The clean-up, to get rid of the gimmick, uses a black art principle and thus requires a table with a black cloth or some other appropriate surface.

The Ripped & Repaired ebook contains 30 professionally designed pages of material. Every effect is described in great detail including in depth descriptions of any moves or sleights that may be required and over 60 photographs illustrating the text where required.

A corner is cleanly and fairly torn off a selected card. (It really is!) The magician claims that he can restore this card to its former glory with the aid of a very special and ancient and magic-endowed instrument of necromancy. The spectators clutch their handbags to their faces and peek through the gaps in their fingers. The...

The purpose of the riffle shuffle stack is to place special cards, say the aces, at special locations in the deck so that during a dealing action those aces end up in a predetermined pile, usually the magicians hand.

For example, if you are dealing a five hand pocker game and you start out with the aces on top, riffle shuffle stacking allows you to place aces at position 5, 10, 15 and 20 from the top. In this video Allan teaches you how to stack two aces.

A selected card turns face-up and pops out of the deck. (Also part of Move Mastery 1.)

runtime: 1min 41s

A top card cover pass using the riffle pass. And a pass where the bottom card(s) are left unchanged while you bring the selection to the top. (Also part of Move Mastery 2.)

runtime: 6min 45s

Peter Duffie is well known for his exceptional execution of the riffle pass. Learn all the little bits and secrets he has uncovered over the years. Or simply watch in awe at his execution. (Also part of Move Mastery 2.)

runtime: 8min 43s

While you give the deck a riffle you shoot the bottom card unseen into your lap. (Also part of Move Mastery 2.)

runtime: 3min 2s

This is a great idea to shift the secret action of the riffle force to a later point in the move to make it look even fairer. (Also part of Move Mastery 3.)

runtime: 3min 7s

This is a 2-4-4 count and it can be used as replacement wherever a Gemini Count is needed. It is a beautifully flowing and deceptive count. By some accounts, the best card count developed to this date.

runtime: 1min 40s

This is a Jack Carpenter variation of Larry Jennings' Rhythm Count.

runtime: 1min 29s

Here Allan Ackerman combines Dai Vernon's Optical Move with Larry Jennings' Rhythm Count to achieve an even more visual deceptive rhythm count variety.

runtime: 2min 1s

The original Prophecy Move in Bill Simon's book Effective Card Magic has been a favorite with magicians since its publication. The spectator places a business card or playing card between two cards at a random position somewhere in the middle of the deck. The move forces the top and bottom cards of the deck. A myriad of variations and tricks with the sleight have surfaced through the years.

The author first describes his version of the move. This in-the-hands handling accomplishes the move using natural movements in spreading the cards. Neither hand turns over when performing the sleight as in the original version. Gerald...

You will encounter the term 'Reverse Faro' quite frequently in card literature. In this little video Allan will explain and demonstrate what is meant by it.

runtime: 1min 7s

Here we offer three new approaches to Bob Hummer's classic Mindreader's Dream effect. A spectator merely thinks of a card and out of the performer's view deals some cards to impress the card on the subject's unconscious mind. The dealt cards are lost in the pack. The performer asks the spectator some questions, studies the subject's nonverbal responses, and slowly but surely names the thought-of card.

One method requires a small stack, the other two are impromptu. All use ordinary cards and no sleights. The deck need not be complete.

This item will be of interest to mentalists and card...

An effect by Roy Walton. The most colorful packet trick ever. What a fantastic routine this is. A packet of four blue-backed cards (say all 8 of Clubs) changes to red-backed cards, then to green backs and then to yellow. Then the four cards are one of each color and, for a stunning finish, the four cards change into the four Aces (or blank cards or Jokers)!

Requires regular cards with different colored backs.
