Magic & Mentalism: page 153

This will most likely be Werner Miller's last installment in his E-Z Square series. In this ebook he revisits several of the routines he published before, but finds ways to simplify them further or structure them in a cleaner and clearer way. He does that with a Birthday Square, a routine involving a measuring tape, and magic squares using cards.

As a bonus Werner includes several magic square puzzles.

1st edition 2013; 15 pages.

The routines use subtle moves and principles rather than difficult sleight of hand to produce entertaining card effects that anyone can do. More important, no gimmicks, and no set-ups whatsoever. Grab an ordinary, even borrowed deck of cards and amaze your spectators with incredible card effects.

CONTENTS:

• THAT'S NEAT (Paul Gordon): You and a spectator each take half of the deck and then a card from each half. You both place these cards reversed in the middle of the two piles and the two cards magically change places.
• FULL SPEED ACE (Aldo Colombini): The Ace of the same suit of the selected...

The Great Card Magic of Nick Trost continues.

CONTENTS:

• SELECTED GEMINI: Mates to two selected cards are located by the spectators themselves.
• ROYAL ASSEMBLY: A section of a deck is cut by a spectator and dealt into four piles. The top card of each pile is a King and the bottom card is a Queen.
• DISCOVERY BY ELIMINATION: One card is selected in a very fair manner. A spectator cuts a portion of the deck and these cards are eliminated until one remains: It is the selected card.
• ROYAL REVEALMENT: You find a selected card and on the way, a Royal Flush in Spades.
• EIGHT-CARD SPELLER: A thought-of card...

Short warm up mentalism effects. Anytime, anywhere, practical, easy, direct and impromptu.

Some of the simple ideas presented in this ebook can also be used as safety nets in your existing routines.

W(h)i(t)ch hand?
A classic: A spectator hides a coin in one of his fists and the performer shows which hand.

• Impromptu – no gimmicks, no electronics
• Versatile - presentation can vary
• Anytime, anywhere, anybody
• Simple and direct

CONTENTS:

• DATED CARD AND COIN EFFECT (George Blake): A spectator gives you a coin and four cards are selected from a deck. These cards reveal the date of the borrowed coin.
• COLOR WAVES (Arthur Carter): A great mental routine where you divine two selected colors.
• ROPED RING (Lewis Ganson): A ring penetrates the rope.
• RING-OFF (Rink): Same as above, a ring penetrates the rope and it becomes free.
• COLOR IN MIND (Ken de Courcy): You show three paddles of different colors. A spectator selects a paddle and you prove you predicted the selected color.
• BALL IN THE MIDDLE (Ian Adair): A rather unusual close-up mystery with a...

CONTENTS:

• DOMINATING DICE (Paul Marcus): A spectator thinks of a number and the card that falls at that number is taken. Using three dice, the spectator finds the selected card.
• STUCK (Joe Riding): A close up comedy coin routine with a very entertaining climax.
• DIS-COLOR (Ravelle and Andrée): Two discs of different colors are placed inside two envelopes and they change places. Everything can be examined.
• S.P.E.L.L.I.T (Francis Haxton): A card is selected and lost. You reveal three cards but none of them is the chosen one. You use one of these three cards, to get to the selected one. ...

This is a biting parody of the UK magic magazine Budget, the organ of the British Ring of the IBM. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1989. To understand all the fun they are poking at you will have to have read some of the Budget issues.

This is a parody of an IBM convention program. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1991. If you have attended your fair share of conventions you will probably laugh a lot. I am not sure why this is in particular targeted at the IBM. Less than well organized conventions are not limited to any organization.

Almost everyone is on Facebook nowadays and odds are you have a Facebook account. But are you using it to properly promote your entertainment business? Do you even know how?

The trouble is most performers aren't even aware of how this can be done! Just being on Facebook...

What Happens:

The mentalist displays four or five current popular magazines. They are handed out and freely examined. One is chosen by an audience member and he or she is asked to peruse the magazine. Next they are asked to decide on a page with lots of text, they do so and proceed to remove the page from the magazine. This is repeated with the other magazines until there are four or five random pages from each magazine.

Next the audience member's with their respective pages are instructed to turn them landscape and tear them in half. Place the two pieces together and repeat, and repeat...

Adair has always been a prolific creator of magical effects. Several stage magic and card magic effects are explained with beautiful illustrations. Some of the effects you will find explained are:

Tridente: Tre mazzetti di carte sono usati per rivelare tre predizioni in una maniera incredibile.

DADI PROFETICI - Tu consegni una previsione ad uno spettatore. Due dadi, senza punti, sono mostrati e due spettatori scelgono due numeri a caso. Da un mazzo di carte il primo spettatore distribuisce tante carte quante ne indica il suo numero. L' ultima carta viene mostrata e ha lo stesso valore del numero detto dal SECONDO spettatore. II secondo spettatore distribuisce le carte a seconda del suo numero e l' ultima carta rivela il numero del...

La bibliografia magica mondiale offre una sconfinata quantità di materiale dedicata all'immortale Gioco Dei Bussolotti. Da anni Matteo Filippini studia con passione molti dei testi riguardanti i bussolotti; con "Due Antiche Coppe" non ha di certo la pretesa di rivoluzionare nulla a proposito di quanto detto e scritto da centinaia di anni su tal nobile gioco, ma l'autore ritiene di aver comunque qualcosa da dire in merito sia al neofita che al prestigiatore navigato.

Il libretto offre una semplice ma efficace routine a due bussolotti, ideale anche nel caso in cui le condizioni di lavoro non...

Appassionato di close-up da più di vent'anni e avido consumatore e collezionista di libri magici, Matteo Filippini presenta una semplice routine di chop cup.

Nonostante la chop cup sia spesso stata considerata come la "parente povera" dei bussolotti, in realtà, se accompagnata dallo studio accurato di molte tecniche e sleight, può divenire un effetto killer del repertrio di qualsiasi prestigiatore. La semplicità della chop cup non sta di certo a significare banalità, tutt'altro. Basta vedere come grandi personaggi della Magia come Don Alan o Paul Daniels l'abbiano portata a livelli di...

"Seriously, this is underpriced...A vast amount of theory and applicable content is squeezed into this... After I get it all integrated, this is going straight into my naked repertoire... This has a huge amount of information to digest, but it's 100% workable, and Atlas has brought many, many new ways to work with this to the table. I think that many don't use this principle simply because a work this all encompassing has never before been written on the topic. This really fills a previously gaping hole in mentalism and opens up many doors. This is incredibly underpriced in my opinion. I...

What do other Mentalists think?

"At last a routine where you really are doing what you claim! This is a fantastic concept that Atlas has expanded greatly. It has the feeling of real mentalism because it IS real mentalism." - Marc Paul

"Page seven of your manuscript is worth whatever you end up charging for it." - Dave Arch

"I really enjoyed 'The Real Thing'...The core of the effect uses pure psychology which is just the ticket. The way in which this has been used to create a nice little lie-detector routine is very clever indeed." - Derek Heron

"Rather than a physical peek, your method...

"Sean Waters material rides at the top of Mentalism's 'New Wave'." - Bob Cassidy, Performer, Author and Co-Founder of the P.E.A.

"Reflections" is, like all of Sean's work, thought-provoking, powerful and practical. It is a marvelous collection of material, and highly recommended." - Gabe Abelson, writer and performer

"In short, if you're already a fan of Sean's work, I'll bet you a cookie you'll be a fan of this book. If you're not familiar with his work, I would bet you'll be a fan once you read it." - Joshua Quinn, Creator and Author

"I want to thank you for again sharing your wonderful...

"The Panacea Process is a brilliant concept" - Thomas Heine of Paralabs

"It is AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, DECEPTIVE, PERFECT! The best investment I have made." - Jose Prager, creator and author (comment regarding The Panacea Process)

"There are a very few people out there who I've come to trust to deliver 'the good stuff' and by that I mean, 'stuff I can use'. If you're familiar with Sean's ebooks you already know he's a thoughtful, knowledgeable guy, who not only shares great ideas but understands (and credits) where these ideas come from. I can say without hesitation that the Panacea Process was totally...
