Al Mann and Devin Knight were some of the early originators of self bending spoon techniques. This is the REAL work on self-bending spoons developed jointly by Al Mann and Devin Knight during the mid 80s.

You get the exact method used by Devin in newspaper office through out the years to garner front page publicity. Show two spoons, one in each hand. The spectator is given...

A classic effect from the early days of magic catalogs. An effect that every kid wanted to order so he could impress his friends. Ads for this trick appeared in early Boy's Life and in comic books. It's an effect that is still effective today but is almost forgotten.

It is a little known secret that is even being used by some rock bands today to make their eyes flash during concerts.

Here is the ad copy from an early Vick Lawston magic catalog.

Joker drehen sich in der Hand des Zauberes magisch einzeln bildunten und dann verwandeln sich die Joker in verschiedenen Spielkarten. Zum Schluss führt der Zauberer mit diesen Karten noch ein magisches Spiel mit nur 3 Karten vor und der Zuschauer kann die Karten natürlich untersuchen.

Vier Karten werden von Vorder- und Rückseite vorgezeigt. Es handelt sich um 3 leere Karten und eine normale Karte. Eine leere Karte wird bildunten abgelegt, um das "Betrügerspiel mit 3 Karten" (2 leere und einer normalen) zu demonstrieren. Es stellt sich heraus, dass keine der 3 Karten die Spielkarte ist; alle drei sind leere Karten. Die Vermutung des Zuschauers, dass die auf dem Tisch liegende Karte die richtige ist, stellt sich als falsch heraus. Auf dieser Karte steht nur "ACHT". Wenn man will, kann man die Spielkarte aus der Tasche erscheinen lassen.

Die wohl "sauberste" Variante zum Thema "2-Männer-Trick". Bis zu 3 Karten wandern vom Spiel in die leere Kartenschachtel (oder unter die Hand eines Mitspielers) – und das ganz ohne Fingerfertigkeit!

Kein Rau/Glatt – Keine Klebepräparation!

Two different effects in one!

One of the most novel effects you will see. Something totally unique...combined with a new principle in mentalism that will delight even seasoned pros. This is release five in Devin Knight's Psychic Sight Series.

MIRRORED THOUGHT

The first effect is one that Devin has used to fool well informed mentalists in the past. Two spectators are brought on stage. Neither is a stooge nor has there been any pre-show work.

The first spectator freely selects a word from the stack of word cards. There is no force of any kind and the mentalist really does not know...

Sie kennen TUWIT-Routinen ("Do as I do")?! Hier die ultimative Form!

Aus einem Kartenspiel werden vier rote und vier schwarze Karten entnommen. Die Karten werden natürlich einzeln von beiden Seiten vorgezeigt. Der Mitspieler entscheidet sich dann für die roten oder schwarzen Karten, die er auch einzeln in die Hand gezählt bekommt.

Dann werden langsam fünf identische Handlungen vorgenommen - jeweils mit einer einzelnen Karte. Werden die Karten dann normal ausgefächert, zeigt sich, dass der Mitspieler zaubern kann: Während beim Zauberer alle vier Karten rückenoben liegen, zeigt beim...

Dies ist ein typischer "Kümmelblättchen"-Effekt: Der Zuschauer soll auf die Lage einer von drei Karten achten; er wird durch den Zauberer immer wieder getäuscht!

Sie kennen "Sidewalk Shuffle"?! Viele Zauberkünstler haben versucht, den Nachteil der dabei verwendeten Karten zu beseitigen; die Ergebnisse waren nicht befriedigend, da während der Vorführung auch dann nicht jede Karte fair vollflächig von beiden Seiten gezeigt werden konnte. Mit Big Bang ist das nun möglich!

Demonstration mit 4 Karten (3 unbedruckte Karten, 1 normale Spielkarte), wie ein Falschspieler sein Opfer hereinlegt. So genau man auch aufpasst, der Falschspieler gewinnt. Zum überraschenden Schluss zeigt sich, dass 3 normale Karten und nur eine unbedruckte Karte auf dem Tisch...

Devin Knight has created another hit with Four Told 2 the modern symbol edition. This is mind reading at its best, and allows you to read four minds at once. This new improved version is better and has a streamlined method that requires NO secret adding of numbers.

It does away with the pad and uses just a few index cards, which are handed to the participants as predictions. It does away with old fashion ESP symbols and takes the effect into the 21st century by using modern up to date symbols. Two different presentations for both stage and close-up are included in this new release.

The...

A new and novel paper effect! Do not confuse this with the old Squircle effect. Although similar, this is a greatly improved version. A double sheet of newspaper is shown on both sides. It is folded into quarters and a small 2" square is cut from a folded corner. (In the original Squircle, a double sheet of newspaper is folded in half and a semicircle is cut out.) The 2" square is unfolded showing it is actually a 4" inch square.

The double sheet of newspaper is partly unfolded. Instead of the expected rectangular shape, the audience sees a semicircle! (You cannot do this with the old Squircle.)...

A small ball production and vanish sequence that combines the best of the Scarne, Erhard Liebenow and Claude Rix/Rezvani routines. You will receive a PDF and a tutorial video.

1st digital edition 2012, PDF 5 pages, video 2 min 14 s.

Effect:

The performer shows an 8.5 x 11 inch chart that has the names of four different colors printed on it in different color inks. He says he will attempt to confuse a participant's mind. A participant is asked to quickly call out the color of the ink that each word is printed in. Despite his best efforts, he invariably miscalls some of the colors. For example, if the ink is blue, he may say it is red. This is all very amusing to the audience as he cannot seem to say all the colors correctly!

The performer says that if the participant is having trouble correctly naming colors that...

The magician presents to the spectator a deck of blue backed cards and shows that this is just a regular deck of 52 cards. The magician places the deck, face up, on a table. This is the last time that the magician will touch the deck.

The magician invites the spectator to cut the deck approximately in half and place it next to the original pile. The spectator is then invited to select one of the two piles which is then put to one side.

From the selected pile the magician invites the spectator to deal the cards face-up and to stop at ANY card they wish. This gives them a genuinely free...

"Well, I have to say this is one of the best and cleanest methods I have seen in a long time for gathering unknowable information. I WILL use this and will have a blast doing so. I must thank Nefesch for releasing this as it is absolutely impromptu, and gives me a tool to use when someone asks me to perform some mentalism on the spot. I am a magic creator who loves psychokinetic, fire, and obviously supernatural looking effects, and this will join the ranks of those illusions. The spectator will feel it is absolutely impossible. That launches it into the realm of the supernatural...therefore...

"The is a stroller / workers dream!! I love the spectators choice of card appearing where the previously blank card was put in their own pocket!! All the displays and moves are justified, there is no counting cards just for the sake of counting cards etc. Rus has stripped back the effect, so it couldn't be any more simple and yet so strong at the same time!! Magic Tao have done another fantastic job on the production of the DVD too. Keep up the good work Rus, I wish you all the best with your other current releases." - Matt Wainwright

"I've been playing with this today. It really is great and I'll be using it at this weeks weddings for sure! Rus has taken the "reversed card match" effect to another level with this. The added kickers of the odd backs followed by a deck of blank cards will fry laymen, and most magicians alike. The quality of the DVD by Magic Tao is first class. A live performance followed my a clear concise explanation. Rus is a clever thinking honest guy, an I can't wait to see what lease he releases for us in the future!!" - Matt Wainwright

"A devious deception …It's all in the hands! Whether it's gambling, influence or magic your number's up with Numbers." - IAIN - themagiccafe

"When it comes to 'card at any number' effects, I've tried most and Rus Andrews' 'Numbers' is the one I always come back to." - Sean Giles - themagiccafe

Imagine placing a prediction, openly in front of your spectator, and handing them a deck of cards. You then ask the spectator to create a 2 digit number. After the spectator has checked that the deck is a normal shuffled deck you ask them to deal...

"Beutifully Devious" - James Brown

"The cleanest and most natural impromptu cap in bottle that I've seen in years, I'll be using this for sure!" - Richard Bellars

"The combination of a devious principle and clever psychology make this effect a real winner! Probably the best impromptu cap in bottle routine I've seen!" - Cameron Francis

Imagine being able to take an empty beer bottle from a random table in a bar or nightclub, then taking any bottle cap, perhaps from behind the bar or from another drink… Have the spectator...
