Magic & Mentalism: page 390

The coin rolls on.

Tired of those sissified Coins Through the Table routines? Do you get an itchy trigger finger when someone says: "Would you like to see my unique handling of Matrix"? Have you sat through a Coins Across presentation that was so complex that even the magician got lost? Are we not men? Then what we need is Silver II. Packed with the bizarre. The common stuff got weeded out in the first edit.

A collection of 25 coin effects.

Coin effects have always been my niche in the world of magic. Since I was a boy, watching a coin vanish or appear has fascinated me. The effects use:

• Invisiblair: A holdout (a gambling device that has been used for nearly 100 years) that I have modified specifically for coins.
• Folding Half: A gimmicked coin that can be produced under the most improbable of circumstances.
• Double Stick Tape: Providing an inexpensive means to vanish a coin from either hand impromptu and without a trace.

Clever, quirky, original, commercial, funny, different, practical - these are just some of the words that you can use to describe the magic of Nathan Kranzo.

In this collection of his ideas for stand-up and close-up, you will find magic to suit a wide spectrum of tastes and audience types. With effects ranging from visibly sliding a tan line up your arm, right through to enabling a spectator to cut to the four Aces, Nathan combines raw cunning with extensive magical knowledge to produce magic that is always interesting and usually totally baffling.

Running through all the material is...

An opening magic effect for an unknown audience as scaffolding for a full routine. Full involvement of audience participation and imagination in making the magic happen, with astonishment beyond expectations.

With obviously empty hands as a guide, you have three spectators each imagine a different colored poker chip and pretend to place it your left hand. This prize is then guarded by a fourth spectator as three other guests decide on the order of the chips in the imaginary stack. When your hand opens it contains three actual poker chips in the exact color order chosen by the spectators....

Simplicity is the keynote of this effect, and you will be able to make up the item quickly and inexpensively.

A box rests upon the table. Performer announces that one solid article is inside, and he even opens the lid and bangs it against the base to prove it is there. He emphasizes that there is only one article. A spectator is asked to think of any card from a pack of 52 and then to name it. The lid of the box is opened, and the article is taken out. It is a glass tumbler containing a playing card, the back of which is towards the audience. The performer shows the inside of the box, dismantles...

A timely favorite for any magician with a deck of cards in hand is Think-Stop. With a popularity spanning decades, this absolute classic has attracted attention from virtually every known card expert of the 20th and 21st centuries. Practical additions and/or worthwhile improvements to this gem are rare indeed. However, this brand-new handling from Australian card man Ian Baxter easily meets that challenge.

Reviewer David Jones comments:

"The Stop Trick is a stunning card effect which has traditionally depended on the use of a psychological force and hence cannot be relied upon to work...

The Delphos Kleeblatt, a German newspaper, was established by Carl Jettinger in December 1889 on a suggestion by Edward Gallaway. It ran until 1905. Gallaway approached Jettinger with the idea, having just returned to Delphos from a stint as a typesetter at a German newspaper in Indiana, and convinced him to partner with him in this newspaper startup. However, before the newspaper was launched Gallaway changed his mind, left Delphos, moved to Ft. Payne in Alabama and started there the Payne Weekly People. Carl Jettinger, a bit miffed by first being convinced of the great idea, and then Edward bailing out...

Array is Fraser's take on the algorithmic stack. He has been working on this problem 'on and off' for the past six or seven years and was only recently able to find the ideal solution he was looking for. His idea was to create a stack that was not only incredibly easy to learn but could also be applied effortlessly, in performance. He imagined a system that could be learned simply by reading through the rules once.

Fraser is pleased to say, all of the pieces of the jigsaw finally fell into place to allow him to create what he considers a close-to-perfect arrangement for this type of method....

In this mixed props issue from Gregg Webb, it starts out with some magic news, and a book review, and an essay on how today's audiences want shorter tricks, and why.

Next we have a devilish coin trick, Rolled - or Pennies South, where a whole lot of pennies penetrate the table. Following this is The World's Fastest Cups and Balls Routine. In the essay provided in the magic news section is an essay on how magicians often go too long because they can, and why not to fall prey to that impulse these days.

Lastly comes Gregg's latest version of a series of methods for doing a mental version...

Anton Kratky-Baschik begann seine Laufbahn als Mundharmonikavirtuose. Bei seinen Tourneen durch ganz Europa lernte er beim Zauberkünstler Bellachini die Kunst der Magie. Er kombiniert Zauberkunst mit Musikdarbietungen, physikalischen Effekten und Geistererscheinungen.

Nach jahrelangen erfolgreichen Gastspielreisen lässt er sich in Wien nieder, wo er große Erfolge in den Vergnügungsetablissements der Stadt feierte. Im Wiener Prater betrieb er drei Zaubertheater, das letzte bot 800 Besuchern Platz, damit war es das größte Zaubertheater der Zeit.

Robert Kaldy-Karo hat in den letzten Jahren in den Archiven des Circusmuseums und des Institutes Kadotheums nach interessanten Frauen und deren Schicksale aus der Welt der Unterhaltung geforscht, die im Circus, Varieté oder auf den Kleinkunstbühnen Außergewöhnliches erlebt haben.

Er berichtet über mutige Löwenbändigerinnen, wie das Fräulein Senide aus dem Prater oder über die schöne Seiltänzerin Mimi Rebernigg, oder über Skandale von Dressurreiterinnen, den Pin up Girls des 19. Jahrhunderts die adelige Herren ehelichten. Die Frauen aus der Glamourwelt der Unterhaltung wurden...

Quodlibet literally means "what you like, or what you prefer" and is the theme that links the two publications that bear this name, the first dedicated to an evolution of the numerical tables and a development of the principle applied to a 52-card deck, and the latter Quodlibet 2, which proposes the Tarot version.

An upturned Tarot deck is placed on the table in full view; a spectator will be asked to choose only mentally any one of the 78 Arcana, of the major or minor series as he or she prefers, and to concentrate on it. The spectator will be handed a series of seven folders depicting...

QUODLIBET significa letteralmente “quello che ti piace, o quello che preferisci” ed è il tema che lega le due pubblicazioni che portano questo nome, la prima dedicata a una evoluzione delle tabelle numeriche e uno sviluppo del principio applicato a un mazzo di 52 carte, e quest'ultimo QUODLIBET 2, che propone la versione con i Tarocchi.

Un mazzo di Tarocchi a dorso in alto è posto sul tavolo in piena vista; a uno spettatore si chiederà di scegliere solo mentalmente uno qualunque dei 78 Arcani, della serie maggiore o minore come più preferisce, e di concentrarsi su di esso. Si consegnerà...
