All these routines are performed with a regular deck of cards. Ten incredible effects with a special guest appearance by Cameron Francis.

Contents:

• PARADOXICAL PAIRS (Nick Trost): You place twelve pairs of cards on the table. The spectator selects the only two matching pairs. No force.
• VOISINAGE (Didier Dupré): Two face-up Jokers and four face-down Queens between them. A spectator names any Queen (free choice) and eliminates the other three cards from the packet. The remaining Queen is the selection.

Silent Running 3 picks up where the second volume, Run Silent, Run Deep, left off: That is, it is brimming full of novel applications of both the CrossRoads and Silent Running principles. You need to be familiar with these procedures (as taught fully in the first two volumes of the trilogy).

Part One of this finale jumps in at the deep end with some stunning and clever contributions. Novel ideas including making an “X” appear on the back of any “thought-of card” (a card generated by having the spectator create a card in his head via the SR process) or applying the SR principle to gospel magic or Ten...

This is a two part routine - vanish three coins, one by one, and reproduce the same three coins again one by one.

The reason Radek prefers to first vanish coins and then make them reappear, as apposed to have three coins appear and then vanish them, is the fact that you can do this routine with borrowed coins. You start with examined coins and then show a miracle which is much stronger than the other way around. You borrow coins or take them out of your pocket – at this point there is no doubt these are just three regular coins. Magic starts when you vanish them. When the coins are re-produced...

In this set of notes you will find several tricks and routines that have served Aldo well during the last few years as a stand-up performer. In fact, the tricks explained here can all be done standing up as no table is required and are great for walk around or strolling magic. Done this way you simply use the hands of the spectators to help you.

Aldo has written these tricks and routines with the assumption that you already know some basic magic such as a card control, a Double Undercut, an Elmsley Count and the like. Aldo's purpose here is not to teach you ‘sleights’ but rather ‘routines’...

Here’s another ebook from Aldo containing 21 routines using sponge balls, coins, newspaper, cards, jumbo cards, balls, ropes, rubber bands and more. Aldo has been using some of these routines during his acts for quite some years; “Jumbo Jumble” for example, is still one of his favorite effects, so is “Real Danger” which he uses a lot. For close-up workers, do not overlook “Heart 2 Heart,” “Nose Out” and “Another’s Bet.”

You also have a couple of very strong routines here for children’s entertainers, namely “Kaleidoscope Ropes” and “Knot Knots.”

• Countdown ...

For several years Aldo had a column in the Linking Ring magazine. At the time Phil Willmarth was the editor and he was so kind and open minded enough that he basically let Aldo make fun of everything and everyone.

The columns not only contained some good magic but Aldo was able to include some funny stuff as well. Also, between tricks and gags you will find suggestions on how to improve your presentations with regards to our art of magic.

The structure of the column was an easy one: 1) Some fun and 2) some magic and it worked. Aldo has collected in this e-book many of his favorite columns...

This is Victor Farelli's answer to: "Can you tell fortunes?"

As magician you will occasionally encounter this question. Farelli describes and teaches a strong effect that can be done with a borrowed deck of cards. At the end Farelli includes some practical advice on fortune telling.

Briefly, the effect is as follows. Having been requested by a lady in the company to tell her her fortune, the magician asks her to give him the date and the month (not the year - never ask the age of a woman!) of her birth. Pretending to make some intricate calculations, he informs the sitter that her "lucky"...

Here you have thirteen effects with a ring and a rope, both ordinary. Aldo does not recommend to perform all 13 in a row as it may be too long of a routine, but select the ones you like and create your own sequence.

Ring and rope effects are always popular with any audience. They take little room in your pocket or performing table and are always ready to go. Both routines are also available as a download DVD of the same name: Still Ringing Around (download DVD)

Practical effects with cards, flowers and silks. Here is Verrall Wass in his own words about the motivation of this book:

First advertised as The New Conjurors' Magazine and dropped the word "New" after Vol 1, No. 1. Houdini's brother, Hardeen, helped get this magazine launched, but he passed away shortly after the magazine started. It was selected as the official organ for the Magician's Guild of America. It eventually changed hands to Ed Dart in 1947 (Volume 4, #10), with Robert Lund as editor (Gibson still continued as a columnist).

Genii magazine absorbed The Conjurors' Magazine and from November, 1949 until 1974 as Genii became Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine. It was eventually changed...

Is this ebook for me? Here is David in his own words:

Die Magische Notizen war die Vereinszeitschrift der Zauberfreunde Berlin. Sie wurde zwischen Februar 1982 und September 2001 publiziert - 1149 Seiten, 40 Ausgaben in 20 Jahrgaengen. Mehrere fantastische Schmankerln befinden sich in dieser Zeitschrift.

This is one of the earliest publications which has Burling Hull's Svengali deck described. Hull called it originally the "Cards Mysterious". Even in this early publication he complains about unauthorized copies being sold by unscrupulous dealers. A hundred years later and nothing has changed. We still have magic retailers and manufacturers producing and selling illegal and unauthorized copies of magic products.

One thing has changed though over the last 100 years - the use of Bicycle cards. Hull writes:

"Stellar, practical and definitely holds it's weight on deserving to be on the market." - Lloyd Barnes (The Magic Cafe)

"The effect here is brilliant and fits into so many different areas of performance. The ability to transfer the effect from cards to photos is what did it for me. Im obsessed with photo magic and this will be a great one to add to the mix! it truly rocks!" - Jamie Daws (Phantasm, Scared)

"This is truly brilliant and well worth the money." - Darren61 (The Magic Cafe)

Foreword by leading card cheat and deceptions expert Daniel Madison.

The ultimate assembly!

Four Kings are placed on the table and three cards are placed onto them. The first King vanishes and now you have two Kings in the second packet. They vanish and you now have three Kings on the third packet. They vanish and in the fourth packet you have….the four Aces! The Kings are found on top of four other packets!

• ACES UP (Lin Searles): The four Aces are lost in the deck and they reappear on top.
