The new issue is packed with workable stuff. This time, you'll find also something for the stage magician! Here the contents:

ESPACOLOGY 2 - My take on a routine by David Berglas. This one is intended for stage/plattform use and can be made to play really big. Multiple predictions lead to a knockout climax incorporating the name of the company you are working for.

GIANT CARD TO SILK - This is truly the most visual and baffling transformation of a giant card into a silk. It looks like trick photography and you end clean. I describe some tips for the table-hopping magician as well.

TAMARIZ MEMO DECK...

CONTENTS:

• COMMERCIAL PREDICTION (Arthur Carter): You predict a single card which is removed from an apparently ordinary deck.
• I WANT (Geny Dellan): Four freely selected cards turn out to be the four Aces.
• CENTURY FORCE (Arthur Carter): A very unique way to force a number using discs.
• CARD IN WALLET (John Yeager): A comedy (and magical) way to reveal a selected card inside your wallet.
• MY FUNNY VALENTINE (Tom Ogden): Perfect for Valentine's Day (or any other day!). The spectator shuffles the cards and at the end all the Hearts are face up among the other cards face down.
• ANOTHER JACK...

CONTENTS:

• VACATION (Max Maven): Two Jokers capture the four Kings one by one. A very strong impromptu routine.
• SPEEDY SPONGES (Arthur Carter): A very easy and clever routine with sponge balls in three phases.
• NEWSPAPER MIRACLE (Arthur Carter): A full page of a magazine or newspaper is torn into sixteen and a piece selected by a spectator. You predicted the contents of the piece.
• FLAGGING ATTENTION (Max Maven): A trick with countries and flags. A unique prediction with a principle that you will use for other routines.
• WRONG GUESS (George Blake): An impromptu revelation of a selected card...

CONTENTS:

• HAMMAN OUT-SEXED (Alex East): A 'sexy' version of the classic Hamman's 'Two-Card Trick' that uses, of course, only two cards.
• WOW (Tim Gan): The Ace of the same suit of a selected card turns over and then it changes place with the selection.
• WEIRD (Stephen Tucker): A great comedy mentalism effect where you predict how many fingers a spectator selects by revealing....plastic fingers in a box.
• TWISTED NERVE (Al Smith): An extended version of the classic Vernon's 'Twisting The Aces' where a lot of magic happens.
• THE BACK IS GONE (David Robertson): A unique entertaining way of revealing a selected...

CONTENTS:

• FANTACEY (I. Land): A unique Ace-assembly where the Aces disappear from each packet and reappear face up in the middle of the deck.
• GANDWICH (Tim Can): A selection placed between two Black Jacks disappears and reappears between the two red Jacks.
• QUICK SILVER COPPER (Eoin Taylor): A copper-silver transposition that can be used in many other routines.
• FACE-TO-FACE (David Britland): A clever routine that produces the revelation of two selected cards.
• EXCALIBUR (Stephen Tucker): A great routine with new twists using the standard set of color changing knives.
• A 4TH FOR DINNER (David Britland): A different version of the...

ABSTRACTOR - My take on the "Extractor" gimmick which is completely different. The deck can be fanned, spread and quite freely shown. The spectator himself can insert his card into the case. The case is shut and rubber bands are placed all around the case (!). You can show the case from all sides - all looks perfect. You put the deck in your pocket and immediately have the selected card at your disposal! Easy to construct in less than half an hour with only one deck used.

TAMARIZ MEMO DECK - Here I start with a five part "course" on the memorization of this brilliant stack. It's fun to read,...

BOXED - A signed bill ends up in the interior of a lighter, which has been inside a cigarette packet. This one has fooled everyone on my last lecture tour. Perfect for table-hopping, instant reset and easy to do. [Note: This routine was intended to be published as a separate eBook for a much higher price than this issue of Scrapbook. However, for completeness sake I decided to add it here.

TOTALLY STONED - A mental routine based on a Max Maven idea. I changed the routine, method and added an additional climax to it. Very powerful and easy to do.

ENTHYMEMATA - Thoughts, tips and hints.

1st edition 2014, 6 pages....

AL KORAN FINESSE - An additional idea for the well-known Al Koran 5-star forcing deck which enables you to perform a baffling version of the "Oscar" card trick.

THROUGH THE LOUPE - The fastest loading technique for a ring in a sealed envelope. This one has fooled more than one magician!

CLIPPED OUT - A concept for a headline prediction or a live prediction. Some subtle thinking behind this one.

MAGIC VS. MUSIC - A thought provoking article on practise, performance and more. Music is compared to magic and this will get you started thinking different about our art.

ENTHYMEMATA - Various...
