A handbook on the virtual magic show for family entertainers.

I was working as a successful kids entertainer when Covid-19 hit. Like everyone else I saw all of my live work vanish and my income dwindle. I took my kids show online, and it has been pretty successful. I have now performed over 200 online shows and learned lots along the way. So, I wrote an ebook and now I am talking about it.

Now is the time to get online for the future of family entertainment!

With this specially gimmicked and prepared card, you are able to link it to a borrowed glass unnoticed in 3-5 seconds. The edges (which is very important for me) are completely intact and have no cracks. The card can be presented firmly linked to the glass as a souvenir.

What the video hides at the lower edge would normally be hidden behind a box, book, silk, or some other visual obstruction.

Here's something that will enhance your reputation and make you appear to have great skills. A one-coin routine that is within range of anyone.

This effect is undoubtedly a fooler. The magician will be able to cut to three cards that reveal the exact position of the spectator's card. Conditions are really impossible. A true miracle with a normal deck. Always great reactions from both magicians and laypeople. Always a different number.

After the magician gives the deck a shuffle, the spectator is asked to cut the deck about in half and to take from the lower portion some cards, shuffle them, remember the top card, and put them back on top of the lower portion of the deck. Then the spectator shuffles the top portion of the deck and...

Another way to ditch/lap cards while you show them one by one. (Also part of Move Mastery 2.)

Only 3Fly is one of MS' pet effects with 3 coins. The flavor of a fingertip coin across without any gimmicks or invisible assistant, just 3 coins, 2 hands and a coherent routining. Learn today a totally practical routine suited for walkabout and cocktail performances.

From the brilliant mind of Vietnams top magicians Duc Thinh and Hoang Sam comes a very clean mis-made card effect. A corner of the spectators signed card switches inside out and switches back with very little movement.

Out of Control is a surprising, impossible location effect. The magician never touches the deck or even looks at it because the spectator will do everything under the table including two riffle shuffles and several cuts. Yet despite these stringent premises, the magician will be able to find the spectator's card face down in the spread of the deck. Great reactions especially from fellow magicians.

A Hilarious cigarette routine for smokers or nonsmokers. No matter what the magician does he can't get the right end of the cigarette in his mouth. Even when he tears the filter off, it magically appears back on the wrong end of the cigarette. Visually stunning and always gets laughs. Watch a demo video below.

Effect
The magician decides to take a cigarette break. Just as he's about to light the cigarette he realizes that the cigarette is in his mouth backwards. So he does the obvious and flips the cigarette end for end and puts it back into his mouth. To his surprise the filter is still...

The Ultimate Tossed-Out Deck That Fools Magicians!

This was one of the most talked about effects from Devin Knight's recent lecture tour. A different handling for the tossed-out deck that fooled many magicians.

What makes this version different? The deck is examined and shuffled by a spectator before the effect begins. The cards are freely shown to be different to the audience. Once the deck is banded, the performer lifts up the various parts of the deck showing the audience DIFFERENT CARDS as he explains how to peek at a card.

The SAME deck is tossed out and three people each peek...

If you prefer, you can of course have them guess the PIN for your phone.

A low-tech no nonsense, no electronics, non-magnetic and App free approach to a PIN number revelation, using business cards and a pen. Set up in seconds, resets in seconds and great for table hopping.

Clever paper-folding stories have always been popular with magicians. Such well-known magicians as Gene Anderson, Jay Marshall, Karrell Fox, Tommy Windsor and others have all featured paper-folding stories in their acts.

Devin Knight has always loved clever paper-folding effects. In this ebook, he has compiled four of his favorite paper-folding effects. He learned all four of these when he was a child and has used them for his entire performing career.

"Even though I'm a mentalist, I am a sucker for origami and puzzle effects. Devin has compiled a great collection of storytelling magic, using nothing more than...

You show a piece of white paper on both sides and fold it into a neat package. Instantly and visibly the paper turns into a banknote which can be unfolded, displayed on both sides, and importantly, can be immediately handed out for examination or be spent. Devised in the early 1980s, this version of instant money printing is totally practical and very magical. The fact that the printed note can be examined is a huge plus and helps to increase the effectiveness of the illusion.

Blur the line between coincidence and prediction. A creation Kevin Parker kept secret until now.

The spectator stops you on any card as you deal cards into their hand face-down, and the card they stop on matches the card in their other hand, e.g. 2 black aces or etc. The apparent impossibility of this is reinforced by the fact the deck is normal with 52 different cards which they shuffled beforehand; no deck switches. The deck they examine/shuffle is the same deck dealt into their hand, which they can examine before and after, leaving them with no explanation.
