Free Cut PrincipleGene FinnellThe "Free Cut Principle" was first discovered by John P. Hamilton and published in 1948 in The Eyes of the Gods. Gene Finnell independently discovered the same principle two decades later and published several applications of it in his Free Cut Principle booklet in 1967. Since then many card tricks have been created to make use of it. It does not require any dexterity, nor is it hard to understand once you know how it works. Nevertheless, it is very effective and practical for a range of applications.

Celebrated CigarettesKeith ClarkThis is a detailed description of Keith Clark's 'Phoenix plot' routine, where a cigarette gets destroyed but somehow is recreated - as it were it rises like Phoenix from its ashes. Paul Fleming wrote: Celebrated Cigarettes, by Keith Clark, is similar to Silks Supreme and Rope Royale (which were the work of the same author and the same publisher) in that it is edited by John Braun, illustrated by Nelson Hahne, and neatly printed by the offset process and bound in a decorative cover of soft boards. It is an eighteen-page booklet, with twelve pages of text and six of excellent drawings. Like Mr. Clark's books on silk handkerchief... | $7 to wish list | |
FlipperDavid DevlinHere is the effect: a spectator has a packet of 5 cards. For argument's sake, let's assume the five cards used are simply numbered 1-5 (the actual make up of the cards is up to your imagination). The spectator goes through a procedure in which cards are turned face up, face down, left as they are, the packet is cut, some-times the spectator decides whether the cards are turned over or not, sometimes the performer decides. But in the end, no matter who made the decisions, or which decisions were made, only the center card is face up and it is the 4. Not only that, but no matter what decisions... | $7.50 to wish list | |

Magische Studien 5 und 6Peter WilkerEine Prise Humor Viele Kunststücke unterhalten das Publikum durch ihren verblüffenden Effekt, sind aber für sich selber nicht lustig. Das Zerreißen und Wiederganzmachen einer Zeitung gehört etwa dazu wie auch die meisten Manipulationen. Manchmal lassen sich aber durch kleine Änderungen ernsthafte Effekte in humorvolle verwandeln, ohne daß sie an Substanz verlieren. In dieser Studie werden drei Beispiele dafür beschrieben: eine Vorhersage, die fast schiefgeht, Geistertafeln, bei denen die Zuschauer fast merken, wie sie funktionieren und ein "Bank Night"-Effekt, bei dem ein Zuschauer... | $15 to wish list | |

[S]witchJulien Losa[S]Witch is a great impromptu billet technique, created by Julien during years of performances on cruise ships and in theatre shows. The effect is simple: You ask someone to draw or write anything on a small paper/business card. In only two very fair moves, you can duplicate their thoughts. Yes we're talking about a switch, but such a good one. It's done in front of your spectator's eyes, and even though you magicians know there is one in play, you can't see it. It is that strong. This method is a real worker, performed hundreds of times by Julien for real audiences. A powerful secret kept underground... | ★★★★★ $14.90 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

Magische Studien 3 und 4Peter WilkerKlassiker Kunststücke, die tausendfach erprobt sind und in zahllosen Varianten vorliegen, die damit auch ein gewisses Alter aufweisen, pflegt man als Klassiker zu bezeichnen. Beispiele sind etwa diese Klassiker: das Becherspiel, dann das Zerschneiden und Wiederganzmachen einer Schnur, die Schnurstäbe, die Chinesischen Ringe, der Eierbeutel und so fort. Die Studie bespricht drei solcher Klassiker sowohl historisch als auch sachlich und beschreibt neue Versionen: die "Banknote in der Zitrone", die "Schwebenden Gläser" und den Effekt "Zwei-in-die-Hand, eines-in- die-Tasche".

Without MirrorsChristopher CharlesMagicians and emcees know that comedy plays an important role in warming up today's audiences.

Memorize two or three of the one-liners and you'll also be prepared to deliver an apparently ad-lib, off the cuff remark, just as the late-night TV hosts do.
