Magic & Mentalism: page 405

If you're looking for a unique and quirky effect, Bammo Strange Attraction will fill the bill. A fortune teller's business card vanishes and appears attached to the back of a selected card (regular cards or Tarot cards). The manuscript includes the fortune teller's business card so you can print it out and use it for this and other effects. An additional routine by David Britland adds something seldom seen in psychic effects: a sense of humor. The routine requires a Himber or Z-Fold wallet.

1st edition 2024, PDF 11 pages.

Five cards with different emotions written on them are placed into non-marked envelopes and freely mixed up. The performer holds each one against his forehead. Can he feel the 'Love' card tonight? He certainly can! Easy, baffling mentalism.

Bonus effects:

• SHAKE, RATTLE & PREDICT - a cool mentalism effect using one gimmicked card you probably own already.
• PRETTY GREEN - a golfing-themed effect which is self-working. (You will need a prop for this, but may already have what's required).
• SHARK ATTACK: An original little bit of comedy to add to your close-up act. (You'll need to buy...

A prelude mode presentation for close-up or parlor using only three rings. The storyline is Irish lore and the importance of the Glover related to the elements of being, luck and magic. Unique link/unlinks from a clover display only but two-ring effects can be added. Employs reverse rings, gapless, webring, fan pattern techniques, sway methods and a holy grail finale. Here alternative final phase sequences are also provided for “less than optimum” conditions. All rings are handed out with some m-powerment and links in spectator hands. Requires a jacket or Z-packet and waistful techniques...

An exploration into the innovative logic, framing, moves, sleights and stratagems and charming myths or storylines of the Ancient Rings Series.

This series offers a completely different approach to using rings in magic effects. Forget "Chinese" as a storyline. Get beyond "linking" to "bonding, "intertwine," "merge" and more, with new moves, sleights, stratagems and audience engagement possibilities.

The routines can be "stand-alone," a segue to your favorite effects, or mixed. This ebook will allow you to decide where and if to get involved in innovative and different methods that can...

This ebook is for all who would like to combine magic and electronics but have little experience with electronics and have no idea what the possibilities are. The author explains a range of projects that will give you an overview of some of the magic effects achievable with electronics.

The first project has nothing to do with electronics but it will teach you how to write software, an app for your mobile phone. It is a very simple app, and it will not make you a programmer, but it allows you to get your feet wet and get a glimpse at the possibilities of apps.

You will then be introduced...

Imagine:

The magician hands a business card to a spectator as he says to them "My assistant's number and name is on this card. I'm giving this information to you now because if I gave it to you after the selection, you might think I have 52 numbers or 52 names prepared, one for each possible outcome." With this said, he promises never to touch the business card again.

The magician then introduces a deck of cards, spreading it face up in front of the spectator. The spectator can see that all cards are present and that there are no duplicates.

The magician invites the spectator to...

A wonderful routine and variation for the Jastrow Illusion, also known as Magic Boomerangs.

Just who is the Top of the Bill? Stan Laurel or Oliver Hardy?

That's the dilemma confronting the performer in this strange and bizarre close-up routine. Seeing is believing!

Two nameplates, one for Stan and one for Ollie, shrink and elongate as each is given pride of place at the Top of the Bill. How? Simple, they are short on one side and long on the other. Or so claims the performer. Is it an optical illusion? It seems so until the finale in which the spectator is left with two nameplates...

"Quodlibet" means "what you like", to mean the free choice on the part of a spectator, which is the fundamental condition for a successful magic effect.

A new approach to the Stewart James classic Queer Quest.

Another Stewart James card mystery from the past, brought right up to date by Australian cardman Ian Baxter.

Queer Quest first appeared in The Jinx magazine back in 1938. Publisher Ted Annemann endorsed it immediately because this was obviously not just another card trick. Although the effect is far from new, three spectators each selecting a card with the performer locating them one at a time, Queer Quest stood out because of its simple method and straightforward presentation.

Eighty-five years down the track and Q.Q. is now totally revamped, with easier handling...
