The best way to practice your false deals is to do it in front of spectators. However, until you have mastered the deal you can't really use it. Allan shows you how you can practice dealing while performing for the public.

Most magicians are aware of the classic "Jumping Rubber Band Trick." However, here's a script and easy method for a full story routine about the exploits and escapades of that world famous escape artist Harry Houdini who in this case completely disappears from your fingers and reappears where least expected. Included with this routine is the more deceptive technique where the rubber band is "set" using only one hand rather than the customary two-handed "get ready."

One can, two different drinks.

Hospitality in a can: You pour the complete contents of a can into a glass; the can is now empty. You then place a straw inside the can, and take a sip, just to make sure. In fact, the can is not empty, it now contains a completely different liquid! Pour this 'new' liquid into a glass to amaze spectators.

BONUS EFFECT

Cocktail: You turn a cocktail shaker upside down to show that it is empty. Place the lid on the shaker and start to shake it as you would if you were mixing a cocktail. You then take the cap off and start pouring two glasses of cocktail....

You will learn two versions for the classic Homing Card effect. The first one uses only one palm and is for the beginner and the second version uses two palms.

A visual stunner with hole cards.

You will need:

• hole cards that you can make yourself
• Pelli Spread (briefly explained)

length 3min 56s

Use the Hofzinser cull action to switch a block of cards for another set of cards.

runtime: 2 min

This is a very clean force of a card close to the top. Allan also shares a subtlety by Jimmy Grippo to make this force look even more convincing and fair.

runtime: 1min 44s

Use a Hofzinser Card Control type action to control a card to the top.

runtime: 54s

This is also often called the Hofzinser Cull or Spread Cull, developed by Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser. It is a very versatile move and the grandfather of the Convincing Control.

runtime: 1min 27s

This is similar to the Hofzinser Force with the difference that we are now forcing the bottom card versus a card close to the top.

This double lift does not need a 'get ready'.

runtime: 1min 8s

Essentially this is a reverse Biddle action where the Biddle move is used as a force. This idea was developed by Ed Marlo. (If anybody knows why this is called "Here's Hockley" please email us.)

runtime: 1min 45s

Capture all four aces, one by one, between two spectator selected cards - a repeat sandwich effect.

The heirophant change is a color change that happens while a card is snapped to the table. It was developed by Ed Marlo.

runtime: 1min 4s

This is a very effective and very easy card rise developed by David Regal. Any card is selected and shuffled into the deck. The selection now inexplicably rises out of the deck. New method, easy to do.

No threads, rubber bands, magnets or other contraptions. The gimmick is simple and right there invisible in the deck. Spectators can stare right at it and not see it. Very clever and very practical.

Recorded live at the Convention at the Capital 2001.

This is another Ed Marlo creation - a stud bottom deal.

runtime: 1min 47s

Do you believe in spirits? This trick will make you believe it. The chosen spectator's card begins to move magically, and rotates itself out of a ribbon spread.

• You control the movement of the card
• No funny movement
• No "loops"
• No "IT"

Blowing on the top card changes its face. Allan also teaches how this method can be used to prepare for a second consecutive color change.

This offering includes a PowerPoint slideshow, an eighteen-minute video tutorial, and a reproducible handwriting analysis tic sheet. As a result of learning the methods taught, you'll be equipped to guide an entire audience through an analysis of their own handwritings. You can use what you learn from this package as a stand alone presentation, in conjunction with a Q & A routine, and/or use the reproducible tic sheet to offer personal consultations (possibly following your presentation).

My experience has shown that for many of my audiences the subject of handwriting analysis carries greater...

This count by Brother John Hamman allows you to hide a block of cards.

Visual and practical effects are rarely combined into one trick. Hallucination is a very practical and visual trick. Imagine you draw 4 points on a playing card, after which you shake the deck and they line up, and that’s not all, you shake the deck again and the points completely disappear.

1st edition 2020, length 6:27.

A most practical and visual restoration. This is a visual trick that will leave your spectators totally speechless. Gum Pack looks like real magic. Best of all, the gimmick is always ready to go at a moment's notice.

• good angles
• easy to make
• easy to perform

Beautiful one coin routine with many surprises. Technique is very impressive and not very difficult to do. Intermediate level. For stand-up workers.

length 13min

This incredible visual card effect was originated in the 80's and has been adapted, fine-tuned, up-dated and changed to what could easily be considered to be one of the most visual and surprising card tricks ever.

The magician admits he has a special set of trick cards and shows 8 regular blue backed cards each with a huge black cross drawn on the back. However, nobody one can see the crosses, even as each is clearly shown. In fact the cards magically turn face up too. Eventually all the cards change to different color back cards with a huge black cross drawn across each back.

Incredibly...
