The Talking Skull is an entertaining and versatile effect that will find a place in any magician's act. It's as much at home in a Midnight Spook Show as it is in a straight magic routine.

Thrilling MagicLeonard H. MillerFrom author's note: The feats of miracle workers - fire eaters, sword swallowers, barehand spike drivers, etc. - have been proclaimed far and wide, but little has been written in explanation of their feats or otherwise detailing the secrets of performance. These secrets have been jealously guarded by the practitioners of these miracles and they have seen fit to pass them on to only a limited few. Please note that these stunts are dangerous and involve toxic and otherwise harmful substances. We are offering this ebook for historical and informational purposes.

PsimatrikaLeo BoudreauLeo Boudreau's books have been out of print for a long time. Now that they are available again electronically, a new generation of magicians can learn and study the subtle methods Leo developed to produce true miracles. Some have said that his effects are the next best thing to real mind reading. I fully agree with this statement. The way he finds out which item the spectator selected is so subtle that it appears as if he is not doing anything. Here is a quote from Leo which Al Mann included in his introduction to Psimatrika: "I can give a deck of cards to a person and tell him to secretly... | ★★★★★ $19 to wish list | |

Spirited PasteboardsLeo BoudreauMax Maven writes in the introduction to Spirited Pasteboards: There is an ancient Chinese curse which goes, "May you live in interesting times." Bearing this in mind, it is not without some playful malice that I inform you that you are now holding a tome which is extremely interesting. As with the author's previous book, Psimatrika, the work in this text is primarily based upon stacking arrangements which generate information via binary codes. The principle is by no means new, but in its seventy-year history as a conjuring method it has remained little-known and woefully under-explored. Mr. Boudreau... | ★★★★★ $29 to wish list | |

Presented in the manner suggested this is an outstanding mental effect, great for your show, for impromptu use and to present for the members of the press, newspaper offices, etc., for publicity purposes. The effect is the following... A spectator is asked to draw a design or write a word on a small card and this is placed out of sight. The performer stands well away from the spectator while the drawing is being made and patters to the effect that what the spectator draws is suggested to him by some subconscious impulse in the beginning,... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |

The Complete OracleLarry White & David GoodsellIn recent years magic has experienced a renewed and keen interest in mental, bizarre and storytelling magic. Magic that does more than just fool the eyes and mind, magic that tugs on the heart strings, that stirs arcane fears and longing, magic that grabs the audience and won't let go. Sometimes the experience is light and airy, sometimes it probes a bit deeper and provokes self analysis and even resolve, sometimes it is just plain spooky. David Goodsell and the late Larry White spent three years of their lives gathering the best of this kind of magic in their unique Oracle Magic Magazine... | ★★★★★ $35 to wish list | |
Scripted #13: The Dictionary TrickLarry BrodahlAn easy-to-make and easy to perform version of a book reading test. You can not only tell them the word they're thinking of, but you can even tell them how many characters are in the word - and it's all easy. No forcing. One of the more difficult tasks facing magicians is coming up with scripts - of any sort. And explaining why someone is picking a word from a dictionary so that you can read their mind is - at best - difficult. Well, the author of How To Write A Script used his methodology to write a script that successfully explains - and conceals the secret - to perform the dictionary test. He even explains... | $10 to wish list | |
Scripted #16: Zodiac and Mom's FavoriteLarry BrodahlA parlor or stage trick with a single method, but two vastly different scripts using totally different props. Fun and fooling. Two tricks in one. Each with nearly identical handling but widely different effects. In ZODIAC, you show a spectator pictures, one at a time, letting the spectator say "stop" whenever they wish. Their selection turns out to have been predicted in a message hanging in full view of the audience. In MOM'S FAVORITE, you show the spectators playing cards, one at a time, again letting a spectator say "stop". Their selection turns out to have been predicted in a message... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |

"Ognib" is "Bingo" in reverse, is a method also known under the name "Magic Matrix" (see Martin Gardner). A complete script, handling, and a spreadsheet calculator. Handlings included for stage, parlor and impromptu. The magician shows a handful of printed numeric grids. The magician then has 4 spectators decide on one of the grids. Using the chosen grid, they then pick 4 numbers from the grid. The 4 numbers that were chosen - when added together - totals up... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list | |
Scripted #21: Add a NumberLarry BrodahlA routine and script that (with an assist from Mel Mellers), transforms a rather dry piece of mentalism into a fun and entertaining piece of magic. The plot of the Add-A-Number effect doesn't lend itself to the magical performer, as the audience knows that they're watching tricks, not psychic phenomenon, which means that the presentation of "seeing the future" isn't as effective as it could be. Plus, the method is closely tied to the revelation. How could you predict a number unless you somehow knew what everyone would write or you switched the numbers? This script - with a huge... | $12 to wish list | |
Scripted #41: A Taste for WordsLarry BrodahlThis product includes Scripted #42: Mentalism Fail-Safe. Have you ever wanted to do mentalism without a mentalism theme?

One that doesn't use a peek, and doesn't require that you memorize anything. A routine and script that justifies each and every part of the trick with very little in the way of props. You will receive a video recording of a performance. And as a bonus, a fail-safe concept, 3 different handlings, and 2 different scripts are given in case anything... | $20 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |
Scripted #42: Mentalism Fail-SafeLarry BrodahlThis product is included in Scripted #41: A Taste for Words. In the event that a mentalism effect fails, this is a script, process, and handing that allows you to fairly easily switch tricks mid-stream, unnoticed by the audience, and still present a strong trick. This was originally designed if [lp= Scripted #41: A Taste for Words] routine failed, but the technique can work for many mentalism routines. Three different handlings, 2 scripts, and 1 core concept protects the mentalist from complete failure in many routines. NOTE: This was also specifically written for parlor and stage, but could easily be done close up with appropriate handling changes. ... | $10 to wish list | |
