CONTENTS:

• FINALE (Brian Davies): A card is selected (face unseen) from a red-backed deck and retained by a spectator. A number is chosen and counted in a blue-backed deck. The two cards match.
• THE POWER OF SUGGESTION (Barrie Richardson): A ring is placed around the neck of a Coca Cola bottle. The ring is removed, vanished and it appears back on the neck of the bottle.
• DOMINO TELEPATHY (Anonimous): All the domino pieces are put together in line. You devine the spots at each end of the chain. A classic.
• COLOR CROSSER (Max Maven): A series of stunning effects using just a packet of cards. ...

The English magazine [lc=3255 Club 71 ran from 1970 to 2007 and was produced by Geoff Maltby the owner of Repro Magic. For most of the time Walt Lees was the editor. Contributors include: Max Maven, Peter Duffie, Patrick Page, Al Smith, Angelo Carbone, Ian Rowland, Werner Miller, Peter Kane, Paul Hallas, Stephen Tucker, Ali Bongo and many more. The subjects discussed span everything from mentalism and cards, to magic for children and close-up.

CONTENTS:

• AROUND THE WORLD (Peter Underwood): A great mental effect. Two cards are selected by a cut of the deck done by a spectator. The two values added and an Atlas opened at that page to select a country. You have predicted that country. ...

CONTENTS:

• TUNED MINDS (Jack Avis): Four spectators chose four numbers which are used to reveal the four Aces (or four selections).
• HAVE A MATCH (Magini): A novelty funny trick. You offer a match to a spectator and the match rises from the box. A good laugh.
• TWO BALL TRANSPOSITION (C. King): You show a red and a green ball (or any two colors) and they, using a handkerchief, transpose. A strong effect for any ball routine.
• A CHANGE OF PLANS (Bill Simon): A nice routine using the four Kings where they follow the leader. One King changes into an Ace and the other Kings change into Aces too.
• A CARD TRANSPOSITION...

CONTENTS:

• THE EVER READY SPELLER (Al Koran): An excellent impromptu card trick where a selected card is revealed after reciting any jingle (or a short poem). Funny stuff. Can be done in any language.

• CARD PENETRATION AND CHANGE (Cy Endfield):...

This time I start a little series on the "signed folded card in box" plot. The effect that a signed card ends up folded in a little box is a classic and has been performed by many top professionals and amateurs alike. I am a great lover of this trick and accumulated quite a lot of methods and ideas concerning this top trick. These I will share with you through my Scrapbook magazine. This is the first issue dealing with this highly interesting topic. After a lengthy and detailed discussion on my opinions, strategies and thoughts about this effect, learn:

CONTENTS:

CONTENTS:

• CONTRASTING PREDICTION (Max Maven): A red-backed card is shown as a prediction. A blue-backed deck is spread face up and a card is selected. The prediction card is a perfect match.

CONFABULATION - The routine I have been doing since the 80s (oh my gosh!). Out of the need to create a DIY version of the marketed effect of Alan Shaxon, I devised this baby. It's easy to use, practical and you don't need any Kaps wallet for this. At the end, everything can be left with the spectators.

SOAP BUBBLE CARD - Finn Jon is a genius with both threads and his omni-present soap bubbles. In 1987 I created a revelation with a smoke filled soap bubble that is really eye candy and surprising. A signed selection appears with the burst of a soap bubble. Easy, simple and visual. A truly unusual...
