Card routines for the working performer.

Contents:

• THE MAGICIAN (Sam Schwartz): A packet of double-backed cards is shown. The cards then each contain a letter that spells MAGICIAN (or any other message).
• DRAW A BLANK (Aldo Colombini): Perhaps my most famous trick. A card is freely selected and it is the only printed card in an otherwise blank deck. No rough and smooth. No difficult sleight of hand.
• HATS AND RABBIT (Rachel Colombini): You show a prediction. Five cards with rabbits and a hat are shown and shuffled by a spectator. The prediction shows the same order as the packet held by the spectator. ...

These two routines were created by Rachel Colombini. You can perform them separately or combine them together to obtain a very magical sequence.

First Effect: Three cards move from one packet to another. This is probably the easiest cards across ever!

Second Effect: You and the spectator find three matching pairs.

Requires three double-backed cards.

The next time you download the latest and greatest magic app to your smart phone remember that it all started with this. This booklet is to the best of my knowledge the first publication on magic with a computer (published by Martin Breese in 1983). In this case the legendary Sinclair ZX-81 with the whooping memory of 1K.

The author addresses how one can use the ZX-81 during a magic performance. It includes numerous programs in the Basic programming language. The magic effects are not that great to be honest, but David Hambly was breaking new ground.

If you remember Basic with its GOTO, GOSUB and PEEK...

CONTROCORRENTE:

L'amico Phil Goldstein pubblicò nel 1976 una routine su Pabular (una rivista inglese) chiamata Counter-Revolution. Poichè il tema delle carte rosse e nere mi ha sempre attirato, ho trovato la mia personale idea dell'effetto. Effetto :Le carte rosse e nere si scambiano di posto con un finale a sorpresa!

Il "DeLand's Automatic Deck" compie 100 anni!

Nel 2013 si festeggia il Centenario di questo speciale mazzo di carte ideato da Theodore L. DeLand. Tale mazzo, denominato originariamente “Dollar Deck”, fece la sua comparsa nel 1913 e utilizzava un ingegnoso sistema di ‘contrassegni’ che, in combinazione con il ‘preordinamento’ dello stesso mazzo, permetteva di ottenere sorprendenti effetti magici: identificare contemporaneamente la carta in cima e in fondo al mazzo, conoscere la posizione di qualsiasi carta all’interno del mazzo, sapere quante carte sono state tolte dal mazzo...

SELF WORKING - SELF CONTAINED - INSTANT RESET - WORKS EVERY TIME

(This is Dave's treatment of Cameron Francis' effect 18: A Powerhouse Prediction Effect.)

EFFECT: You display a deck of cards and begin by telling your spectator two pieces of information:

1. One of the cards in the deck has had its back altered.
2. The deck is in a completely random order but for three cards which you have specifically positioned for the experiment.

Senza dubbio questo trattato costituisce uno strumento prezioso per il prestigiatore. In esso Carrol Descrive il metodo più completo di BENDAGGIO TOTALE che, per quanto possa sembrare impossibile, permette di vedere e di fare cose incredibili e perfino guidare un auto a occhi bendati!

Although it does not meet all the criteria of a 'perfect ACAAN', this method still has many advantages:

• Very practical in live performance
• Strong impact on the audience
• Very simple to perform (from beginner to advanced but requires sleight-of-hand)
• Can be done with different sleights for the card control and for the counting. This allows you to repeat the effect.

• it is actually an 'Any Selected Card At Any Number', or what...

Cutting Remarks was originally intended to form part of Card Kinetics, a booklet dealing with various methods of making playing cards move with various kinds of elastic loops, including those pioneered by Finn Jon and pirated by everyone else. However, this version of the Self Cutting Deck, for this is what Cutting Remarks is all about, doesn't use elastic of any kind, not even a thread. Peter Duffie used a similar principle in his effect Ascension to achieve a very unusual version of the Rising Card.

David's first introduction to a threadless Self Cutting Deck was provided by Bob Ostin. His version of...

In this second part of two ebooks exploring the science of envelopes in magic and mentalism, Scott introduces three more brand new tried and tested routines utilizing nothing more than some envelopes, a glue stick, and a pair of scissors.
