Face to Face Location & Spectator's Revenge
Joseph B.
Two outstanding effects. The first effect is totally impromptu and can be done with a borrowed shuffled deck. It is completely hands-off. This is an impossible location that will fool even fellow magicians. You will get phenomenal reactions from your spectators.
The second effect is called the spectator's revenge because he will find his own card. This is a really fun and surprising routine.
Everything is explained in detail. You may need to buy something extra in order to perform the second effect - Spectator's revenge.

How To Perform Sensational Memory Feats
Dr. Dejay Ward
The Super Memory Act is a fascinating mash-up of a traditional mentalism demonstration with the excitement of a 10-in-1 sideshow attraction ... yet, there's a trick to it that makes it easy for you to do.
In this hard-to-find manuscript, Dr. Dejay Ward reveals the secrets of his miracle memory act, with which he has amazed audiences for more than 30 years. When played to today's audiences, you'll discover that the miracle mind act is as fresh today as it was when first presented. This routine also plays well for the professional public speaker who uses a "you can do anything with your mind"...
Propless TOP
Unknown Mentalist
Propless T.O.P stands for Propless Tossed Out Places. And it makes use of a "topless prop". Suitable venues are virtual shows and stage shows where audience members are from about 20 to about 2000 numbers. You can perform this as a purely propless effect or as an 'almost' propless effect using the "topless prop". This works great as both an opener or a closer. Propless TOP can also be adapted very easily to close up and parlor shows.
The method is completely self-working and presentation is the key. You can play this in a 'tossed out deck' effect style or you can also play this as a pseudo...
Exclusive Problems in Magic
Edward Bagshawe
From the introduction:
This book has been primarily written for the Drawing-Room and Concert Artist who will, I trust, find the material offered for his perusal, sufficiently away from the "beaten track" to be of practical value. The majority of the effects described have been thoroughly "tried out" - and therefore they can be relied upon to "work." I have endeavoured to set forth a selection of original ideas that are not only (to the best of my belief) new in effect, but, to some extent, in method also - thus checkmaking the spectator who knows just a little too much.

JOJ False Shuffle
Joseph B.
Here you have a very deceptive False Shuffle based on Jay Ose's False Cut. You will see two versions in the demo. Look carefully; it will fool you. You will be able to keep the entire deck in order.

I'll Have a Double
Wesley James
Wesley James has done it again! While no single volume could include every multiple lift technique that has been shared in magic's vast literature, anyone that performs card magic needs the powerful tool multiple lifts can offer. Simply stated, this is the single most extensive work on multiple lifts ever created. No list could be fully comprehensive, but you'll find an abundance of techniques referenced in the exhaustive bibliography. You'll also discover as much multiple lift information as has ever been placed between two covers, and more.
Everyone who performs card magic needs to...
Dr. Q's Sight Unseen
William W. Larsen
Dr. Q not only tells you how to describe objects in detail after having been heavily blindfolded with cotton pads and heavy adhesive tapes, but he also tells you how to present the act in its most effective fashion and what to say while presenting it.
Yes, here is the whole secret of this act, described in detail, plus complete patter and presentation. Half dollars (borrowed and unprepared) may first be placed over the eyelids. Then more than half a dozen strips of adhesive tape are placed over the eyes and pressed down tightly at all points. (Tape is also unprepared and may be borrowed.)...
Amateur Magician
J. Dazley Theobald
From the preface:
The object of this work is to thoroughly explain to the Amateur Magician the various subterfuges which are made use of by Professional Conjurors to mystify their audiences, and to afford such instructions as shall enable any person to give a private performance. That there is plenty of room for a work on the subject of magical secrets and contrivances is evident by the few books that are in circulation, and even some of these are of but slight value, as they give graphic descriptions of what tricks are performed, while but scant and imperfect explanations of how they are...
Magic and its Mysteries
J. Dazley Theobald
From the preface:
In the following pages it has been my aim to give such plain and practical instructions, as shall enable the amateur conjurer to perform with confidence and success. In the limits of a book of this size, it is impossible to describe more than one-tenth of the various tricks in modern magic in vogue at the present day, and I have therefore carefully excluded the larger professional apparatus, such as are used only on the public stage, believing that what is most needed is a sound treatise on drawing-room magic, and I trust in the following pages the reader will find such...
Double Cross Doubloons
Raymonde Crow
A new take on Fechter's Flying Eagles.
Double Cross Doubloons is my version of Fechter's "Flying Eagles" routine, which is a tabled coin effect that has the advantage of not needing gaffed coins, gimmicks, or a soft surface like a close-up mat, nor are there any clothing requirements like sleeves, making it very practical for the restaurant worker or impromptu performer.
Double Cross Doubloons uses only six normal coins.
In this routine, each coin travels across via a different method, and ends in a flash crossing of all three coins, providing a climax that is missing from the original....
