Magic & Mentalism: page 423

The magician takes a deck of cards and shuffles them repeatedly. Then, the magician takes a face-up card from another deck and hands it to a spectator, asking them to insert it anywhere in the deck, leaving it halfway out. This card will naturally end up between two cards, which are then extracted and shown as the magician says:

"These two cards indicate a number, let's imagine it's a 3 and a 9, so given there are 52 cards, the only number they can indicate is 39!"

Continuing, the deck is spread in a ribbon, and a second spectator is invited to take the same card as the first spectator...

From a deck of cards, a spectator selects a card that, without being seen, is placed under the card case. Immediately after, two other spectators choose two cards, with which they will form a random card, meaning one will represent the suit and the other the value. Magically, whatever the composed card is, it will mysteriously be the one under the card case.

A new semi-automatic card magic effect where a spectator, from a shuffled deck, randomly chooses a card from among twenty red or black cards, and the magician, after shuffling them, first discovers the suit and, after an ensuing "successive elimination ritual" will be left with only one card in his hands: unbelievably just the twin of the chosen card! Hence the "The Mysterious Twin's Call."

A virtually self-working card magic effect in which a spectator, from an openly shuffled deck on view, chooses whether to play with red or black cards. The illusionist draws all the cards of that color,...

Un nuovo effetto di Cartomagia SEMI-AUTOMATICA nel quale uno spettatore, da un mazzo mescolato, sceglie una carta a caso tra una ventina di Carte ROSSE o NERE e il mago, dopo averle rimescolate, scopre dapprima il SEME e, dopo un conseguente “Rituale di Eliminazione Successiva”. rimarrà con una sola carta tra le mani: incredibilmente proprio LA GEMELLA della carta scelta!

Un effetto praticamente SELF-WORKING nel quale una spettatrice, da un mazzo apertamente mescolato a vista, sceglie se giocare con le carte ROSSE o NERE. L’illusionista estrae tutte le carte di quel colore, ad eccezione...

When Ed Marlo expressed his wish that his material be kept available "For the Guys," it was not his intent that the cost be prohibitive. That was not Ed's way. Ed didn't publish his material for the small amount of money they produced. He never received payment for most of the material he contributed. In keeping with the spirit of Ed's pricing, Wesley has decided to offer special pricing for those who purchase the full set of Marlo In New Tops.

In the month of October 2024, in recognition of the passing of the self-proclaimed "King of Cards," Harry Houdini, and the birth of the true, modern "King of...

En este ebook, se explican detalladamente las rutinas cartomágicas más significativas del artista John Mendoza. Estas rutinas, una vez aprendidas, os acompañarán durante toda la vida.

La primera rutina es una clásica rutina de apertura, donde un espectador nombra un número entre 1 y 5, y de inmediato el artista, después de haber barajado las cartas e insertado medio mazo boca arriba dentro de medio mazo boca abajo, no solo reorganiza el mazo dejando todas las cartas con el dorso hacia arriba, sino que las únicas cuatro que quedan boca arriba formarán el póker del número nombrado...

In the chaos of a shuffled deck, the magic is not in the randomness, but in the unseen order, waiting for the perfect reveal.

In these pages, I am sharing an effect using a method in card magic that many magicians these days do not use. This effect is capable of deceiving not only laypersons but also fellow magicians who are unfamiliar with the method used, and due to the nature of this routine, this effect will probably fool magicians who have a basic understanding of its application.

• No gimmick or gaff cards are needed.
• Easy to perform, if you know how to shuffle cards.
• Uses a standard...

The Lie Detector is a card magic and mentalism effect that can be performed at any time and employs six cards, randomly chosen by the spectator, which put together in a pack will act as a polygraph. Alternatively, it is possible to use six cards on which to write as many names, cities, emotions, instruments, or any other idea that makes it possible to freely choose between six elements. The spectator will have to choose the six cards, one of which will have to remain a secret, to be guarded at all costs, even in the face of the four questions that the illusionist will have to ask him so that...

La macchina della verità è un effetto cartomagico che può essere improvvisato in qualunque momento e impiega sei carte, scelte casualmente dallo spettatore, che unite in un mazzetto svolgeranno la funzione di poligrafo. È possibile, in alternativa, l’utilizzo di sei biglietti su cui far scrivere altrettanti nomi, città, emozioni, strumenti o qualunque altra idea che renda possibile una scelta libera tra sei elementi. Lo spettatore dovrà scegliere le sei carte, una delle quali dovrà rimanere un segreto, da custodire ad ogni costo, anche di fronte alle quattro domande che l’illusionista...

An unprecedented Semi-Automatic A.C.A.A.N. effect that will amaze: a spectator freely chooses, from a few cards, one representing value, one for suit, and the sum of the values of the others will return the position in the deck in which the card will be found.

The title plays on the words "Some Suit of Value", where "Some" is pronounced the same way as "Sum" and both "Suit" and "Value" can be referred to playing cards. In fact, this effect involves the spectator choosing after the deck has been shuffled and cut, from a group of six cards that will be drawn, one card that will represent...

Un inedito effetto Semi-Automatico, sul tema Carta al Numero, che saprà stupire: uno spettatore sceglie liberamente, tra alcune carte, una che rappresenti il Valore, una per il Seme e la Somma dei valori delle altre restituirà la posizione nel mazzo in cui verrà incredibilmente a trovarsi!

Il titolo originale gioca in inglese sulle parole "Some Suit of Value" che dovrebbero significare: "un vestito di valore", ma si potrebbero leggere in modo analgogo anche per "Somma (Sum) di Seme (Suit) e Valore"!

Infatti questo effetto prevede che lo spettatore scelga, dopo che il mazzo è stato...

This Name and Place effect is propless, gaffless, effortless, self-working and will take about 45 seconds to perform and destroy your participant.

You walk up to an utter stranger. Ask her to create an imaginary person in her mind. Also ask her to give that imaginary person an imaginary name and an imaginary place, which could literally be anywhere in the world. All this happens in her mind and she reveals absolutely nothing. And you read her mind and reveal that imaginary name and imaginary place. How powerful would that be?

This effect feels exactly like that to your participant. You...

Excerpt from the introduction:

Almost as challenging as reading all the card and coin material Ed Marlo packed into the 22 years of M.I.N.T. (1963-1985), is locating specific pieces of material when you want to study or review them. You certainly aren't going to learn it all in one sitting. Moreover, both Ed and Wesley liberally reference the works of other authors and their published material. With the Annotated M.I.N.T. series now complete in 14 volumes, this 15th volume will make it far easier to locate any Ed Marlo or Wesley James material from the series, as well as other referenced Indexed contributors to magic's...
