Magic & Mentalism: page 215

Included is a video of a cool switch.

Keep up with this series of Classic Card Magic e-books so that you will have a solid base for card magic entertainment. There are thousands of card tricks out there...but there are only a handful classics of card magic. The classics are classics because they represent a solid foundation of entertainment and are timeless. Only the patter and modus operandi will change...but the premise is solid and will endure the ravages of time and technology.

These effects use only a regular deck of cards.

In this e-book you will find:

Lubor Fiedler's Gozinta Boxes is my all time favorite illusion. It has been so ever since I first saw it performed decades ago. I love the simplicity, clarity, and impossibility of the effect. Two boxes. One clearly larger than the other, because one fits into the other. But wait - now the larger one is smaller and the smaller one is larger. Every child can understand the impossibility of this. It transcends any language or cultural barrier. Since no explanation is necessary the magic first happens on a very deep visceral level. But then when the mind kicks in and tries to find an explanation...

Every so often a piece of mentalism comes along that is more like a piece of Comedy Theater rather than "just a trick". David Devlin's Case File is a piece of Comedic Mental Theater. It is a murder mystery showpiece. It has three predictions, audience participation, a comedic presentation, and three different methods working together to create a part of your show that will be totally unforgettable!

Here is the routine:

A spectator is brought up on stage, and is given a large folder labeled, "Case File". She is told not to open it, and to keep it safe. The performer now brings up another...

Learn to read palms today!

Give me 80 minutes and I'll show you how to give amazing readings with people's palms. If you have ever wanted to give incredible palm readings but were daunted by how many meanings there were for the different lines, or if you were frightened off by the thick books of detailed meanings (I was!)... then this video will be a huge relief for you. [This video is a recorded PowerPoint presentation.]

Imagine holding a person by the palm completely spellbound, hanging onto your every word, and finally being completely shocked at the incredible accuracy of a reading that you gave them. Yes you. It can be a lot easier...

The first and most exceptional definitive study ever written on the Wild Card.

The classic miracle of the century and forerunner of all packet tricks is the Wild Card. Many of the routines have been closely guarded and found print for the very first time in this publication.

This must be the most "overlooked" coin magic book ever published. The material, by Eddie Joseph, is unusual and original. There are items for both close-up and stage work; sleights, flourishes and routines. In this illustrated volume you will discover thirty coin vanishes; twelve coin changes; forty-five new moves, tips and gimmicks; ten combination moves utilizing coins and matches and thirty-seven close-up tricks and routines.

A highly visual routine. Based on the theme of Hollywood stars. Very entertaining and fun routine. Completely self working. No sleights. No pre show. No stooges. Nothing to reset.

A couple of participants are asked to play the roles of 'movie director' and 'movie producer'. Using the various genres of movies like 'action', 'romance', 'comedy' etc, they have to shortlist a 'star cast'. And based on this shortlisted star cast, a probable 'lead star' is decided on. All this happens when the performer's back is turned or he can even be blind...

Two lost secrets of Jason Michaels finally revealed. This is the only PDF to the best of our knowledge ever written on the subject. In this release you will learn Jason Michaels' secrets for creating the illusion of seeing in the dark. Jason made quite a reputation for himself doing these stunts back in the 80s revealed for the first time.

One of these secrets even fooled Al Mann. The effect is that the psychic or mentalist has a book examined to make sure all the pages are different. It can be a borrowed book. The performer rubs a cream under his eyes, claiming this allows him to see in the dark....

Psychic Self is a three-phase card routine wherein you NEVER touch the deck. The deck is borrowed and shuffled multiple times. Yet, the routine is entirely self-working and will work the majority of the time. No risk; no reward. Yes, there is a chance of one of the phases not working; and even lower chance that none of the routine will work. There is a simple scripting for why one or all the phases did not work. The majority of time, you will have a three-phase miracle routine.

The scripting of the routine is what really sells each individual effect. The methods are essentially the effect...

This is a card stand for two cards (or one jumbo card) primarily for close-up use. The stand is semi-transparent and hides the number index sufficiently so that one cannot read it. One can see that something is there but not exactly what. The cards do not sit completely upright but tilted back by 10 degrees to improve visibility in a close-up setting.

The stand is 17 cm long, 17 mm high and it has a semi-circular cross section. The depth of the slit is 13 mm - meaning the bottom most 13 mm of a card will be hidden by the stand. The stand is short enough to be carried in an inside jacket pocket. ...

David Devlin has come up with a very whimsical and clever effect that is simple to do and a blast to perform. This effect uses dice that are printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company. These are not normal dice. These dice have card suits and card values printed on them. They are called Poker Dice. These are readily available any place that games are sold and are very inexpensive. This is a great trick for use in walk around and restaurant performing.

Here is the effect: The performer brings out a deck and casually gives it a few cuts. A spectator gives the deck a cut but does not complete...

Should a Mentalist use playing cards?

Good question and one which has been raging among Mentalists since Annemann was still going strong. In this book Scott has addressed that question and put together some of his favourite Mentalism card routines, covering effects with borrowed decks, stacked decks and gaffed decks.

You'll find no knuckle busting sleight of hand here; instead Scott has included some of his own routines taken straight from his professional mentalism repertoire, many of which no other magicians have seen until now. Some of the ideas are based on old effects given a new twist, but...
