runtime: 58s

Secretly switch one card for another during a selection process. (Also part of Move Mastery 3.)

runtime: 4min 43s

This is a side steal from a spread rather than a squared up deck. It combines ideas from Ed Marlo and the deliberate steal and Jack MacMillen. You will also learn how to side steal a face up card including a cover deck turn motion which will make this completely invisible.

runtime 10min 50s

Use the action of spreading and closing a deck to cover a pass. (Also part of Move Mastery 3.)

runtime: 3min 54s

This is a practical multiple card control. (Also part of Move Mastery 3.)

runtime: 4min 24s

This is a pretty color change that is self-working. It can also be used for a change out. The underlying principle was first discovered by Alex Elmsley. Ed Marlo turned it into a self-working color change.

runtime: 1min 11s

This move was developed by Allan Ackerman. You start out with a convincing type of control. By angling the card correctly you can have it automatically end up in a left-hand magician's palm.

Predictions are one of the most important plots in mentalism. As a performer you want to be ready to make a perfect prediction any time any where. And you want it to be simple, clean, and unsuspicious.

Imagine being able to make a prediction without any force, without any switch, with borrowed items, without any suspicious movements. Spot is a 100% impromptu way to make a prediction of any kind:

• ESP symbols
• Initial names
• Numbers
• Dates
• Playing Cards
• Etc.

The method behind Spot is so simple, so easy and yet so deceptive and powerful....

In this one-hour and twenty-minute video, you'll learn every detail of the spoon bending routine Scott has performed all over Europe for the past twenty years as part of his professional act.

Included is a full performance of the routine presented in front of a live audience. No special gaffs or gimmicks required, just the spoons and the techniques taught.

This is an application of the [lp16424 Spooky Altman Trap] with the Bottom Double Drop by Brother John.

runtime: 1min 21s

This is Ackerman's variation of an Art Altman double lift. It can also be applied to multiple lifts and makes for a very 'light' and fair handling.

runtime: 1min 9s

A sponge ball magically travels twice from the magician's hand into the spectator's sleeve.

runtime 9min 5s

Duffie published this move first in Card Compulsions, but it is one of these moves that are better taught in a video, even though it is a really easy move. (Also part of Move Mastery 2.)

runtime: 3min 52s

Scotland's top sleight-of-hand artist gives up one of his pet routines. It looks like real magic. A copper coin changes to a silver coin and back several times.

Surprisingly there are no really difficult moves. You will need a copper and a silver coin, but the spectators only see one at any given moment. And Paul's clever handling eliminates the thought in the spectators mind that there could be two coins.

Recorded live at the Convention at the Capital 1999.

runtime: 4min 46s

The magician shows a card and a black disc. In front of the spectator's eyes the disc jumps on to the card and turns into a hole. After the trick the card with a hole can be handed out to the spectator as a souvenir. Usual card gaffing supplies are needed.

1st edition 2020, length 10 min 40s.

Let a spectator peek a card from the deck and catch the break with your little finger. This is a very deceptive method and avoids the over-used line "pick a card".

runtime: 1min 16s

The spectator's cut to the four sandwiches is a succession of magical effects. The magician takes his two lucky cards from the deck: the two of hearts and the two of diamonds. The spectator examines the two cards. The magician shuffles the deck and asks the spectator to cut it into four piles. This is where the fun part begins. Each time the magician approaches the two lucky cards to one of the piles, a card will mysteriously appear between the two lucky cards. The first will be a King, the second as well, and so on until you have the four Kings. It is not finished. Immediately the magician...

A deck rests on the table. The spectator is asked to cut it into four roughly equal packets. The top card on each packet turns out to be an ace.

You will need to be familiar with the Veeser Concept to perform this effect.

runtime: 2min 3s

Make any signed corner melt through a glass bottle.

Imagine this. You show a complete empty glass bottle (real glass) and make a signed corner from the label of the bottle, playing card, banknote, business card etc. melt through the glass - only by a small wave of your fingertips. It's really inside the bottle! No magnets, no slits, no trapdoors and no duplicates.

• You make the gimmick in under two minutes
• Works with any bottle
• The corner is ripped and signed by the spectator
• Perform completely surrounded

1st edition 2016, length 20 min.

runtime: 56s

Dennis Barlotta, aka D. Angelo Ferri, was a long-time student of Slydini and is today the most authentic and respected teacher of magic the Slydini way. In this set of two videos, he will teach a classic of magic, the Coins Through the Table exactly how Slydini performed it. It requires six silver coins and one contrasting coin, a copper coin, a ring, or similar.

Dennis will teach you not only the mechanics and sleights but also the tempo, the script, and the details of the psychology. All of these factors come together into a beautiful deception.
