• Eleven great BRAIN TWISTERS ...

Questo è il primo miracolo che io abbia mai visto la mia insegnante di eseguire. Sentivo che avevo visto vera magia. Ho iniziato i miei studi con le monete attraverso il tavolo, per poi passare a questo gioco. Uno dei suoi insegnamenti grandi è l'uso degli occhi. Questo è qualcosa Slydini istintivamente compreso e impiegato in tutta la sua magia. Questo gioco insegna l'uso degli occhi e soprattutto convinzione. In ogni lezione che abbiamo mai avuto mi ha sempre detto: "Dovete credere a quello che stai facendo, se lo credono, ma ci crederà". Ho incluso centinaia di fotografie. Ho incluso...

Questo libro include tutti i miei insegnanti di magia con le sigarette. Imparerete a strappare una sigaretta in due e quindi ripristinarlo. Imparerete come prendere una sigaretta dal nulla. Lo studente imparerà: i modelli di temporizzazione Slydini, il concetto di eseguire un meccanico necessaria quando la mente dell'osservatore è mentalmente a riposo, e di sistema Slydini di movimento (il corpo prende la mano). Dato che la magia Slydini si basa su principi guida che non cambiano da gioco a gioco lo studente dovrà anche imparare le discipline che verranno applicate ad altri giochi Slydini....

Ho studiato con Slydini per otto anni. Ha organizzato pensiero, movimento, manipolazione mentale, in un sistema di controllo della percezione dell'osservatore. Il mio maestro non ha inventato queste cose. Aveva capito come usarli. Ecco perché la sua magia è diverso. Non ha creato basata su principi accettati. Ha creato sulle leggi della natura umana. Il mio sogno è che la magia del maestro, continua in Italia. I miei nonni arrivarono in America da Napoli, Sicilia e Abruzzo, nel 1910. Sono nato nel 1949. La mia prima lingua era napoletano. Non ho mai parlato in italiano. Ho...

The Sanda-Panda Mystery Box is an ungimmicked 6"x 4" cardboard box. It is always in full view and gives you the ability to make near impossible predictions. No pre-show work and all are ONE-MAN effects. No secret assistants or stooges are used in any of the effects. NO FORCES of any kind are used in any effect.

IMPOSSIBLE CARD PREDICTION: Two participants form a card to ensure the choice is random. One chooses the suit and the other the value with no restrictions. You take the lid off the box - inside is a deck of cards and a folded 8" x 5" piece of paper. The participant unfolds the paper....

A novel and flashy effect that your audience hasn't seen before. This was a limited release a few years ago. Now you can make it up yourself in less than an hour, using items found in most of the larger box stores. NO TOOLS of any kind required to assemble!

Effect: The performer shows a metal bowl to be empty. He then puts in three large handfuls of different colored sands, red, blue, and yellow; saying from these base colors, all colors can be made. Magician then pours a quart of water into the bowl and mixes the sand and water with a wooden chopstick. He takes the stick and begins to fling...

A unique twist on the Cups and Balls that puts the spectator center stage! 4 Minutes of Fame is a very special Cups and Balls routine.

Based on a concept by Dick Williams. Starting about 12 years ago Michael and Dick corresponded about Dick's concept for having a spectator perform the routine while fooling himself, and Dick urged Michael to work out some of his ideas on it.

Long since retired, Dick loved to see a working professional spending time with his creation. His enthusiasm was contagious and inspirational. He was hoping...

• DESIGN BY ACCIDENT: A card is selected. A packet is dealt into four piles and the top card of each pile matches the selection.
• ESP PARADOX OF PAIRS: A spectator picks three pairs while you deal the cards. These pairs are the only ones containing two matching symbols.
• DUAL ESP TEST LOCATION: Two symbols are selected under very fair conditions, yet, you can announce them.
• TRIPLE MATCH BY DESIGN: A spectator shuffles the deck. You take a prediction card and the spectator finds two more matching symbols.
• SYMBOL SENSE: A deck of cards is mixed and three spectators think of a card each. You...

Effect: The performer introduces a deck of cards that has swimsuit models on the cards. It is explained to a male spectator that he is going to go on a date with one of these 52 girls. All he has to do is psychically determine her phone number.

You bring out 5 cards, which are numbered 1 through 10. All of the odd numbers are on one side of the cards, and all of the even numbers are on the other side of the cards. In other words, the card marked with a 1 on one side is marked with a 2 on the other side. The others are, of course, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, and 9/10. You tell the spectator that you will...
