Magic & Mentalism: page 154

This is a translation and reformatting of Les Coussinets de la Princesse by Medjid K. Rezvani.

"... it was quite a surprise, a positive one, when I received a preview copy of the ebook of this wonderful booklet. Translated by Michael Landes, it provides a clear interpretation of the routine. The routine, itself, is called "les Coussinets de la Princesse" -- the little cushions of the princess -- and is also known as "The Tomato Trick." It's a nice piece of story magic, as well as a darn good trick. The book goes into how to construct the close-up mat, the construction of the "cushions," the...

Ein Abend im Magischen Cercle war eine sechsteilige Sendung des ORF von den frühen 80er Jahren. Es wurden einige der besten Österreichischen Tischzauberer gezeigt. Jede Episode hatte auch einen Gast vom Ausland. Humoristische und zauberische Moderation von Peter Lodynski.

In his debut work, Cristian Vidrascu tackles the Ultra Mental Deck, better known to contemporary magicians as the Invisible Deck. He includes 11 very different routines, in addition to many tips and ideas for creating miracles with one of the most brilliant trick decks ever devised. Some of these routines are suitable for intimate performances, whereas others are created for the stage. There are even ideas for hypnotists and ventriloquists on how to integrate this prop into their act.

Un intero numero (anzi 2) di straordinario Mentalismo subito pronto senza preparazione sul luogo dello spettacolo e con oggetti comuni.

Il sogno del Mentalista : un numero da fare senza dover fare ore di preparazione. Bastano pochi minuti e pochi oggetti per stupire il tuo pubblico. Non devi trasportare pesanti attrezzature. Praticamente porti tutto addosso !

"Veramente incredibile" ecco l'esclamazione di molti che leggeranno questo volumetto pubblicato per la prima volta in Italiano

Abbiamo scelto questo classico del grande Maestro del Mentalismo perché lo troverai assolutamente...

Un manoscritto di grande successo sul nostro sito è stato quello di Joe karson " il gioco più veloce del mondo". Una vera lezione sull'arte della presentazione e un carico di risate per il pubblico.

Ora è un piacere per noi presentare una approfondita discussione su questo gioco del maestro Ken De Courcy.

In questo manoscritto , troverete la personale presentazione del gioco da parte di De Courcy, arricchita con molti finali diversi che renderanno il gioco memorabile. Il gioco è una vera e propria commedia degli errori in cui una spettatrice chiamata sul palco per scegliere una carta...

Per quanto ne sappiamo questa è la prima opera sui cosiddetti “Chalk Talk” che viene tradotta in lingua Italiana. L’arte di intrattenere il pubblico disegnando semplici soggetti trasformabili è , con rare eccezioni, praticamente sconosciuta in Italia.

Questo libro, che ci auguriamo sia il primo di una serie, mette in grado anche l’intrattenitore Italiano di cominciare a far assaporare al suo pubblico questa divertente, quanto varia arte. Qualunque tipo di artista e intrattenitore può inserire nel suo repertorio almeno qualcuno di questi disegni trasformabili. Bjorkelund ci da...

Ciao, ecco uno dei libri più venduti di Aldo Colombini. Tutto il materiale è buonissimo e gli effetti eccellenti! Come dice Davide Costi nell'introduzione: "Raramente mi è capitata fra le mani una pubblicazione con una percentuale così alta di idee ed effetti di primissima qualità e, conoscendo il livello tecnico/artistico dell'autore, non è stata certo una sorpresa; tuttavia la sorpresa vera è stata nel constatare che, malgrado le centinaia di effetti che Aldo ha pubblicato in questi anni, la sua fervida creatività continua a regalarci giochi di un così alto livello.

Vorrei soffermarmi,...

A bestseller on our site has been Joe Karson's The World's Fastest Card Trick. A great lesson of showmanship packed with loads of laughter for the audience. Now it is a pleasure for us to present an in-depth discussion of this trick by the great master Ken De Courcy.

In this manuscript, you will find the complete presentation of the trick by De Courcy, enriched with many different endings that make the trick memorable. The trick is a real comedy of errors in which a spectator is invited on stage to pick a card and then...the fun begins...Everything seems to go wrong while the performer tries again and again to find the card miserably...

This is ebook #3 in Devin's "Marketing For Magicians Series".

[Note: This plan may work to a limited degree world-wide. It is best suited for the USA market where there is an abundant of these venues. Non USA buyers may not have the same success that performers in the USA will have with this program. Please take that into consideration before you purchase this plan.]

"Mr. Knight delivers an interesting and practical approach to earning income as a working magician and mentalist. The material here is well-researched and presented. It's a lean, mean read, and a very good value for the money. Well worth a look." -D. Ulin

"I thoroughly enjoyed Devin's last two books on marketing that covers SEO and Facebook marketing, but this book wins the Gold Medal! He teaches how performers can literally start booking shows right now in a market even I was unaware of! And Devin was being conservative...

As seen on Steve Cohen's 2 hour feature television special, "LOST MAGIC DECODED" aired on The History Channel, October 18th, 2012!

"I chose to perform "Dr. Bill's Bend" on my television special because I needed a pendulum routine with a distinct ending. My studio audience loved this routine, and so did I. Perhaps I should add it to my live shows at the Waldorf-Astoria? It's that strong." - Steve Cohen, The Millionaires' Magician

Imagine using a simple pendulum made from a piece of ribbon and a key (these can all be borrowed) to teach an entire audience to focus their mental powers...

"I use my own Perfected Center Tear all the time. But I have to tell you this; I use a piece of paper from my pad. When I saw how clean Bill's version looked with a business card, I had to learn it too. It is smart to have a variety of methods at your disposal. Dr. Bill's Billet Tear is top notch and as good as it gets. If it means anything from a guy who has been ripping paper up for most of his life, take my advice and get this!" - Richard Osterlind

What should you look for in a Center Tear? As little as possible! On that note:

"Here's a word I think describes the pinnacle of...

Plastic allows you to perform the classic feat of psychometry in the close up arena with an up to date presentation and a hook that will resonate with every person you meet. The effect plays exactly as follows:

You walk up to a table and place down an unopened packet of pay envelopes. After introducing yourself and meeting the characters that make up your audience for the next 7-10 minutes, you explain that you will turn away and each spectator on the table (or any two or three if you prefer) is to take any of the envelopes and place one of their credit cards inside.

They may then seal...

Magic and science mix to create amazing possibilities with this special paper!

NCR paper is the carbonless paper used to make up receipt and invoice books. It allows impressions to be made on several sheets without the use of carbon paper. And, just like the chemically reactive magic that people have created with ATM paper and Frixion pens, NCR paper also has potential for magical use.

The author established it's use back in 1989 with an excited fax to Jeff Busby. (This document is included from the Harris archives.)

Ben then teaches two routines with the special paper. The first involves a single...

Make a bottle of drink vanish by cracking it across your knee!

This is a reputation-maker. The magic just seems to come out of the blue as you pick up your drink bottle, cap it, and then crack it across your knee where it vanishes completely!

Three applications are taught. A formal handling with Topit, a tabled handling and a cheeky walk-around handling for parties when you are hanging with friends. For these latter two approaches, you need no Topit, just the bottle. You can even make a partly filled bottle vanish or pass through a table-top!

1st edition 2013, 14 pages.

This is quite an unusual magic magazine. It ran from March 1992 to January 1994 with only 6 issues, but it was from the start planned that way. Each issue was formatted along the lines of another famous magazine from the past.

Martin Breese writes in his introduction:

Included in the lineup are Pentagram, The Magic Wand, Wizard, Max Andrews' Magic Magazine,...

CONTENTS:

• MATCHED SPELLOUT (Ken de Courcy): A card is selected (say the Ace of Hearts) and spelled. In the process four packets are dealt and the four Aces appear. Can be done in any language. Strong routine.
• JOKERS ALL (Ravelle and Andreé): You show three jumbo sized Jokers. A spectator picks a card from a deck and one of the Jokers is selected. This changes into a duplicate of the selected card.
• SPOTTED (Ravelle and Andreé): A card is freely selected among six jumbo cards. This card is the only one having a big spot on its back.
• PURE COINCIDENCE (Ulrich Keuler): A selected card appears in the...

CONTENTS:

• LASSOED (Les Woodcock): Three cards are selected. A piece of ribbon is placed into a bag with the deck. The ribbon is removed and now it has lassoed the three selected cards.
• THREE-WAY OPENING (Arthur Carter): Three big cards are shown with different geometric designs. A spectator picks one (free selection) and you show you have predicted it.
• THE FOUR ACES (Mark Weston): An Ace assembly where three cards are placed onto each Ace and the Aces disappear and reappear in one packet.
• THE CERTAINTY (Ravelle and Andree): You guess the name of a freely selected card.
• PUT AND TAKE (...
