A borrowed and signed bill vanishes from a spectator's hands and it is found in a bottle with a screw cap, that was inside a sealed envelope.

An Arthur Setterington original that's a sensation ... clean, easy, visual magic that has impact.

The magician draws attention to a stapled envelope hanging from two clips in a nicely lacquered wood and metal skeleton frame, in complete isolation. He requests the loan of a bill a $1, $5, $10, $100 - a £1, £5, £50 - it doesn't make any difference. A spectator is asked to note the number on the bill or he can place any identifying mark he wishes...

D. Terelmes is a performer who admits he tends to overthink things. He's been performing the chop cup for close to 40 years. Contained are his pet peeves on what he believes other performers (even top pros) are doing wrong when presenting the chop cup. You won't find any new sleights or new moves. Instead you might find a nugget or few that will change your approach as to how YOU perform and routine the chop cup.

He hopes to take the chop cup from the "obvious" trick that some consider it to be, to the miracle it can be; one that withstands repeat performances at street festivals and haunted...

Eine überarbeitete und erweiterte Version von Lou Serranos Steel Ball Routine.

Einer kleinen Schachtel werden drei Stahlkugeln entnommen. Die Kuglen durchdringen nacheinadner sichtbar ein durchsichtiges Tuch. Danach werden die Kugeln nacheinander unsichtbar gemacht. Werden die unsichtbaren Kugeln in eine Hand gegeben, löst dies eine Energiewelle aus, durch die die Zeit um fünf Minuten zurückverschoben wird. Die Kugeln befinden sich wieder wie zu Beginn in der Schachtel, welche die ganze Zeit auf dem Tisch lag.

Eine unterhaltende Münzenroutine, in der Ideen von Roy Eidem, Chris Kenner und Christian Scherer kombiniert werden.

Der Vorführende produziert drei unsichtbare Münzen aus einem diebstahlsicheren Sicherheitsportemonnaie (Geldbörsenbügel) und legt diese auf den Tisch. Die Münzen werden erst sichtbar, wenn sie vom Tisch aufgenommen werden. Anschliessend zeigt der Vorführende, wie die Münzen wieder sicher im Portemonnaie versorgt werden können, d. h. wieder unsichtbar werden. Da er jedoch mit den drei Münzen ein Kunststück zeigen wollte, lässt er sie sogleich wieder aus dem Portemonnaie...

This, originally written in 1910, juggling and magic book is (for the most part) still very relevant. Besides the insights you will gain about juggling and magic in the late 1800s, you will also learn about forgotten routines that you can use to enrich your repertoire with and that would still play very well in your act today. You will get the original script as written by Carl Martell. It is an exciting read for jugglers, variety performers; and sleight of hand, close-up, and stage magicians alike. You will read about the workings behind some long-forgotten vaudeville juggling stunts, magic...

Talk of 'subliminal' advertising is always fashionable. Presented in the manner suggested this is an outstanding mental effect, great for your show, for impromptu use and to present for the members of the press, newspaper offices, etc., for publicity purposes.

The effect is the following...

A spectator is asked to draw a design or write a word on a small card and this is placed out of sight. The performer stands well away from the spectator while the drawing is being made and patters to the effect that what the spectator draws is suggested to him by some subconscious impulse in the beginning,...

A prize winning paper folding and cutting routine with only a double sheet of newspaper and a pair of scissors.

The routine utilizes all the paper producing a whole succession of objects while you are telling an amusing story. In the introduction Ken de Courcy writes:

Guy Bavli has followed Uri Geller as Israel's magician and mentalist who specializes in metal bending. Guy is a full-time professional, constantly performing on television both in the United States and abroad. Guy is also a three-time winner of the Israeli Gold Cup Award for "Best Magician."

These DVDs have originally been released by A1-Magical Media and are now being made available as downloads.

A stunning double revelation for which the spectator does (almost) all the work for you. From a shuffled deck, a spectator cuts to two cards in two different sections and loses them into that deck. Yet, the magician is able to locate both.

This version of Max Maven/Phil Goldstein's "Double Overcut" eliminates the original full-deck setup and is basically impromptu.

1st edition 2019, 2 pages.

Also known as "Ne Plus Ultra" and "Bonus Genus", this was a favorite pocket trick at the turn of the century. Even Houdini was known to have fashioned a crude version of this out of a scrap of wood. Modern day toy companies create small dolls that make handcrafted ones a thing of the past. We located an ideal version at a local 99¢ store, it's a small figurine of a cherub playing on a flute.

EFFECT: A small doll is covered with a cloth. The cloth has a hole in the center, out of it protrudes the doll's head. The head is allowed to drop into the folds of the cloth. Immediately the cloth is shaken...

Long out of print, we're pleased to bring you this nice collection of sleight of hand card work from the team of Larsen and Wright. These clever card miracles are written in a relaxed, personal style, just as if Larsen and Wright were sharing the various moves in the back room of your local magic shop.

You'd expect to pay a king's ransom for the original, single broadside sheet manuscript. Luckily, Magic World has reissued this hard to find manuscript in a revised, easy-to-read digital format. Unlike the original, the individual effects now even have titles, making it easier than ever before...

Here are a devil's dozen effects, moves and miracles for the semi-professional that, for the most part, don't rely on external gimmicks. It's one of those rare books that, the more you read it, the more you'll appreciate it. Not written for the faint of heart. If you're after bold, professional magic, this is the book for you. (And yes, the title is a pun on H. G. Well's Outline of History. Kudos if you caught that.)

You'll find effects for close-up, platform and stage. The details are provided as if you were a trusted confidante of the author.

A super baffling book test that can be done with books in any language.

The effect is that the mentalist shows a copy of a recent ungimmicked New York Times bestseller and hands this to any spectator (no stooge). Another person, (again, no stooge) decides on the page to be used. The first spectator secretly underlines with a pencil a word on the page, closes the book and retains it.

Without touching the book or asking a single question, the mentalist circles the identical word in an ungimmicked dictionary and hands it to a member of the audience for verification. The dictionary is handed...
