Whichever technique you use from sophisticated electronics to that of a logic puzzle foundation, this free antique sign graphic might help you set the stage for your "which hand" routine as you show the picture and talk about the system you recently learned as used by carnival hustlers working the midway many years ago. In my case, I also find that having the participant hold a small charm pig in one hand (if they choose to be a liar) or a little charm angel in their hand (if they choose to be a truth teller) helps to keep them more consistent in their answers. I carry the little charms in a...

Has it ever seemed strange to anyone but me that the Santa at the mall has to ask the child his/her name and what s/he wants him to bring them? He's suppose to know all about whether you've been bad or good, but he can't call you by name? This coming Holiday Season why not offer to a mall in your area a Santa that tells the child his/her name and what he thinks s/he wants for Christmas? A two person telepathy act wrapped up in the context of a Santa with no complicated code or memorization required. Here it is.

The Hofzinser gimmick is an odd gimmick that has limited usage. But with a little analysis and some scripting you can make an effect that, while not magic, is still entertaining.

The Hofzinser card is a gimmick, not a trick. So what can you do with it. Well, the author of How To Write A Script shows how he used his methodology to write a script that entertains even though it doesn't fool anyone. And it gives the spectators the feeling that they're seeing something from the crooked gamblers handbook. It even allows the spectators to examine the card without fear of the card being damaged.

The ebook also takes you through...

Una rutina cartomágica complicada de Peter Duffie y cómo estudiarla y ensayarla.

The magician at the table asks the spectator to select a card. You may stop reading now if you didn’t know it was going to be a card trick. But any way a 100% freely selected card from a regular deck of cards is signed by the spectator. The magician proceeds to remove the signed card away in full view at all times and ditches the remainder of deck into a savant/ditch box. Next four dice are placed separately onto the table as they are drawn from the magicians pocket that signed card has not left the magicians left hand and signature is still in full view. The magician proceeds to make...

If you ever have the occasion to perform by a lake, ocean or river and would like to present a memorable performance piece, you might be happy you've downloaded and read this. The last time the author performed it he was on a pontoon boat in the middle of a lake.

The magician introduces his mind reading fish - swimming unconcerned in a small plastic bag. The fish is released into the water and then performs an extraordinary feat of dramatic mind reading prowess.

Many have seen this classic observation test. The rules are simple. Read through the paragraph in the logo only once - counting the number of F's in the paragraph.

Most will find three F's. Some might even find six. Few will find all of them. And there are some very good reasons for that explained in this release. When understood, you'll be able to create your own paragraph to market your show in a manner that others just might keep to show others.

No doubt you've seen "two person telepathy" party stunts where one person leaves the room while the other remains. After coming back into the room, the person is able to discern an object selected by those in the room to the puzzlement of those watching.

This obscure version has one of the partners leave the room and stay in the other room while the remaining partner holds his/her hand above the heads of several people in the room. Each time s/he holds his/her hand above a head s/he repeats the single word "Overhead." Then finally the partner remaining in the room holds his/her hand over...

In decades of reading and performing magic, only four number-based brainteasers made my short list for consistent use with my audiences. I share them with you as a thank you for the support you've shown my work on Lybrary.com.

The four number-based puzzlers in this package made the cut based on the following criteria:

• Each had to be obscure enough that my audiences would not have seen or heard of them before;
• Although based on numbers, the process in the presentation needed to be direct and simple; and
• Most importantly . . . each needed to illustrate a proven principle essential for...

Listen in as Scott Wells, host of The Magic Word Podcast interviews Lybrary author, Dave Arch, on a wide range of topics including his school show business model, his work in teaching magic to corporate trainers, the systematic growing of a local magic club, and Dave's series of ebooks and videos on Scientific Cold Reading released through Lybrary.com.

After being inspired by the YouTube videos where a chimpanzee or dog shows amazement at the performance of a magic trick, the magician tells the story of a magic trick he created for his dog. The audience plays the role of the dog as the magician shows that one of the dog toys squeaks while two do not. He then mixes the three and although the audience is sure they followed the squeaking toy, they are fooled multiple times even when the magician takes pity and reduces the number of toys down to only two. Once you've purchased three rubber squeaky dog toys it'll take you less than a minute to...

Why would anyone purchase another eBook or watch another video on the subject of cold reading? What could possibly be new that hasn't already been said? I too would be skeptical. After you've read Webster, Dewey, Scryer and others, what else could there be? Drawing on my ten years as a Pastor and fourteen years as an Executive Coach (and zero years as a psychic), please, if you're at all curious, take a few moments and watch as I share my perspective on cold reading, how that perspective evolved, and then a quick overview of the model I'm recommending in my series of five eBooks soon to be released...

How to tie a vanishing figure 8 knot and a script that makes the process more enjoyable and entertaining.

Everyone probably knows how to vanish an overhand knot, or even a Chefalo knot. But how many know how to vanish a figure 8 knot?

How to tie a true figure 8 knot as well as the false figure 8 knot are both shown and are virtually identical. The script provided shows how it can stand on it's own, but it would also fit nicely into a routine with knots. An audience member can even help you tie the knot, and they'll be none the wiser.

Best of all, it's free.
