Another interesting approach to the classic effect. This is a completely different method and principle to Propless Bank Night.

No props needed. No equivoque. No anagrams. No Math. Totally free choices. Everything happens in the participant's mind who is on the other end of a voice call with the performer, maybe thousands of miles away. The performer even tells the participant upfront the contents of each envelope involved in the routine. The participant chooses the envelopes freely, there is no force. And yet the participant is stunned with the result.

This can be performed one on one over a voice call...

One of the classic forms of mind-reading is the center tear. With a center tear, you can get the secret information that a participant has written. Almost all of the center tears require a pre-folded billet which the participant needs to re-fold the same way after they write down the secret information. The Butterfly Center Tear (BCT) is my solution to a no pre-fold center tear. With BCT, you can now hand a flat billet to the participant and still be able to perform the center tear to peek the secret information. You can also use this method as your backup center tear in case the participant...

This is an introduction to the Reverse Rings approach to linking rings, plus an index to current and future releases of eBooks on that theme.

Discover an excitingly innovative change of framing and premise for this classic routine that will enthrall those new to live performance magic and astonish those who think they are "in the know." New sleights, performance modules, effects and routines developed using F.U.N. techniques and OPS alternative presentation modes.

You get my 65+ years of fiddling with linking rings in a series of ebooks, filtered by my thousands of live presentations...

Mostly conjuring applications. Magic theory.

This is a collection of experience thoughts about performance magic. What is magic? What role does it play in our culture? What does impossible mean today? The theme is being "more than able" in live as well as pretending at the impossible on stage. Each section and page is meant to inspire reflective musing on one's abilities and limitations. Together they provide a mirror in which each magician can view self and chosen magical effects in a different light or perspective. They are not a formula for self-improvement.

Part of this is the notion...

This is the first lesson from Giobbi's Card College 1 & 2 Personal Instruction. It is made available free of charge so that you can experience the style of Giobbi's teaching and decide if you want to invest in the full course.

I personally think there is no better teacher of card magic alive today. Giobbi's style can at times be detail orientated, but then again if you want to reach the higher rungs of cardmanship, or cardwomanship, you need to pay attention to the details. Giobbi will take you by the hand and lead you through what can sometimes look like an impenetrable forest of moves, sleights, and techniques that look impossible...

Exhale is a utility technique / force that enables the performer to force a card on a spectator as the spectator shuffles and cuts the deck. It is a combination of ideas and techniques from the literature that have been streamlined and added to. Included are several routines I have used the technique with. The exhale technique is essentially self-working and seems impossible to the spectator as the spectator does all the work.

Another medley of minor mathemagical tricks.

Werner Miller went through his drawers and folders and found twenty tricks that he developed but never published. Often there was a good reason why he didn't publish them. In other words, these are not necessarily his best ideas, but they may still hold a nugget of a novel thought, an interesting plot or a new combination of methods.

A stunning double revelation for which the spectator does (almost) all the work for you. From a shuffled deck, a spectator cuts to two cards in two different sections and loses them into that deck. Yet, the magician is able to locate both.

This version of Max Maven/Phil Goldstein's "Double Overcut" eliminates the original full-deck setup and is basically impromptu.

Maybe a friend of yours needs a bit of encouragement in their life. Maybe you'd like to give them that encouragement in a mystical/magical way. Consider this handling of the Tarot cards. Using eleven cards from the Major Arcana and the first name of someone who has been particularly encouraging to your friend during his/her formative years, s/he'll be amazed as s/he inexplicably one-by-one eliminates all but the Sun card - arguably the most positive card in the Tarot deck.
