As Executive Director of The Omaha Magical Society and author of a magic club leaders resource blog, Dave Arch saw the need for a low-cost junior magician's curriculum that could be taught by someone with even an entry-level knowledge of magic as long as they had a passion for growing kids in their personal confidence and social skills.

What you now have is the result of a two-year effort to build the curriculum, create the videos, and field test the project - fine-tuning it based on what was discovered out in the field.

Our hope is that you find it a resource that will be of use to...

Just Five! is a booklet containing only five card tricks. Its intent was to not overwhelm the reader with too many of the thousands of card tricks and all their variations. Presented is a variety of straightforward effects with little demand on one's skill in sleight of hand. Misdirection and presentation are the focus.

Included are:

1. World's Fastest 2 Card Discovery - A trick without a middle.
2. Snuggling-up to the Marker - Rather than the Joker.
3. Real Mindreading Actor - Real telepathy, almost.
4. True ACAAN - Close to the real thing.
5. Memory Skills - Tests the magician's memory.

A haunted deck that needs no body hook-up or props attached to the body.

1st edition 2024, video 6:41

Give logic and reason to your haunted deck to make it reach deeper levels of the subconscious.

I have always disliked how most magicians perform the haunted deck as an added phase to an Ambitious Card routine or worse just a single-phased find a card trick. Some use the presentation of ghosts, but I also don't like it as well. It is too dark for some of the audiences around the world and also doesn't suit every occasion/event.

Here are the 2 phases that I use to lead into the Haunted Deck.

1st edition 2024, PDF 4 pages.

An exploration into the innovative logic, framing, moves, sleights and stratagems and charming myths or storylines of the Ancient Rings Series.

This series offers a completely different approach to using rings in magic effects. Forget "Chinese" as a storyline. Get beyond "linking" to "bonding, "intertwine," "merge" and more, with new moves, sleights, stratagems and audience engagement possibilities.

The routines can be "stand-alone," a segue to your favorite effects, or mixed. This ebook will allow you to decide where and if to get involved in innovative and different methods that can...

Four randomly selected volunteers shuffle and randomly select a card that is lost and found by the mentalist who places the correct selected cars in front of the right volunteer.

Have you ever wondered how the biggest names in entertainment are able to get such powerful reactions from their audiences? You probably have. One of their tactics is what I call the "stimy". Contained within this ebook is an explanation of the stimy, and how you can implement this concept in your own routines. Whether you're a professional, are looking to be one, or you just perform socially, I believe this information might help you perform stronger entertainment. For this reason, I am offering it to you completely free.

BONUS: includes my personal routine "the bubble bag" to demonstrate...

Some lesser-known math-based tricks.

I always liked numbers. Numbers yes, math maybe not. What I have attempted to accomplish with this small book is to document some of the more unusual effects I have found and presented that rely on some mathematical principle, sometimes an obscure principle, as its underlying method. Generally, such methods offer the performer a relatively simple and often almost foolproof self-working guarantee of success.

Ah, but only success in the method. Anyone with any experience soon realizes that it isn’t the method so much as the presentation that truly makes...

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...

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."

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...
