Al Baker's Second BookAl BakerFrom the introduction: In presenting my "second" book to the magical fraternity I have kept in mind the old saw, "Brevity is the soul, not only of wit, but applies to many magical tricks". I have tried to make the text brief and, by giving plenty of illustrations, cut down on too much solid type. I give no patter as I feel that every entertainer should be himself and develop a style of his own. Fred Keating rose to stardom. "The Bird Cage", "Sympathetic Silks" and "Card in the Cigarette" were marvellous in his hands; others copied, but Keating's name still lives. "Be a magician, not... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |
Al Baker's BookAl BakerFrom the introduction: Showing a trick is comparatively easy to putting it clearly in print, and I want to thank Anneman for his judicious use of the blue pencil, finding spots where I could write less and tell more, and in general, being a marvelous deleter and paraphraser. To John Northern Hilliard, whom I consider the greatest writer on Magic as an Art, I want to extend my sincere thanks for the encouragement that caused me to start and finally finish my maiden effort, to wit: Al Baker's Book.

Poker DealsMichael DanielsPoker Deals includes two self-working card effects, ideally suited to performing for spectators who are familiar with the rules of poker. Both effects utilize the StayCard Principle and were first published in OCD and Other Effects: The StayCard Principle. Ten Card Poker Deal Variation A procedural variation on Arthur Buckley's celebrated Ten Card Poker Deal. The magician and a spectator are each dealt five cards (either person can deal). The spectator decides whether to keep his cards, or whether the cards should be mixed by dealing again. No matter how many times the dealing is repeated before the cards are examined, the magician's hand wins.... | $5 to wish list | |

Dubbelkross and SimulkrossKen de CourcyA gradual transposition of three silver coins and three golden coins with an unexpected climax. Two routines. Many methods have been devised for the classical effect wherein three coins pass invisibly through space to join three more. "Dubbelkross" and "Simulkross" are two further variations on the same theme; but, not only are the methods altered, the effects are, too. In fact, "Dubbelkross" represents the first attempt (as far as I know) at giving this transposition a definite climax. "Simulkross" does not pretend to give a startling climax, but is interesting because coins pass simultaneously... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Nu-Way Private ReadingDevin KnightThis is one of the cleverest methods ever devised for a one-on-one answering of a written question. The basic method was first created by W. G. Magnuson and later improved on by myself. The spectator writes a question on a slip of paper and folds it into fourths. The mentalist doesn't do the folding. The spectator is then given a match and asked to burn the slip that has been in full view at all times. There is no center tear, nor is the slip torn in any manner. The spectator folds up his question and burns it. The slip is not put into an envelope at any time, it merely rests on a deck of cards. The performer... | $5 to wish list | |

Fishing for Mentalism DollarsDevin KnightHere is a new refreshing way to get steady paid bookings as a cold reader. This plan does not involve theater shows, restaurants, costly advertising or renting office space hoping for clients. The original method was advocated by W. G. Magnuson and Robert Nelson in the early 30s and worked well then; however, Devin Knight has updated this idea to make it 100% practical for today. The cool thing is that this works anywhere in the world, not just the USA. If you are a mentalist with a good understanding of cold reading then you can work this plan either full-time or part-time. Mentalists around the world are already... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |

Magisches Spezialthema Nr. 32: Zauberei mit BierdeckelnPeter WilkerAus der Einleitung: Ich kaufte zu Beginn 1990 das Jahrbuch der "London Society of Magicians". Es enthielt einen Haufen Kunststücke, darunter eines mit Bierdeckeln, das mir sofort einleuchtete. Ich brachte eine kleine, aber wie mir schien wichtige Verbesserung an und der erste der Tricks mit Bierdeckeln, so wie ich sie in dieser Schrift verstehe, war geboren. Von hier aus ging es dann rasch weiter, bis ein halbes Dutzend von Kunststücken mit Bierdeckeln entwickelt, gebastelt und vorgeführt war.
