Magazines & Journals in Magic & Conjuring: page 26

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...

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.
