Cashing in on Past Lives was written to help psychic entertainers and psychic readers learn how to make money from the profitable field of past life regressions. Much to Richard's surprise, this book proved more popular with hypnotherapists than it did with its target market. Although hundreds of psychic readers seized the opportunity to add another string to their bow, thousands of hypnotherapists around the world bought it to help them cater for this lucrative market.
No matter who you are, if you have a sincere interest in helping people recover memories of a previous lifetime, this...

Paul LePaul was one of the all-time great card manipulators of the 20th century enjoying an amazing career in vaudeville, cabaret, and nightclub work, performing magic just with playing cards.
His lasting contribution to magical literature was that classic text, The Card Magic Of LePaul, first published back in 1949. It has been a revered source of exceptional card magic ever since.
In this new manuscript, card man Ian Baxter revisits three of Le Paul's favourites - The Substitution Envelope Mystery, Hand Picked Aces and that perennial favourite, The Gymnastic Aces.
No sacrificing of effect, no knuckle-busting sleight...
Here's a knockout triple prediction that may well be the highlight of your act.
You number three large, 8.5" x 11" cards as Numbers 1, 2 and 3. On each you write a prediction, one for each of three people in the audience who agree to assist in the experiment. Another person acts as a witness, keeping a record of the spectator's thoughts. (Note to mental magic buffs: This is not your grandfather's old "four-for-one method.")
Incredibly direct and easy to do. Makes a terrific climax to your mental routine. If we could be so bold, this allows you to perform a similar routine as that using...

Ten things to do when spurred by the moment.
1st edition 2002, PDF 31 pages.
This is an excellent but often overlooked primer on magic.
Excerpt from the introduction:
This book marked the culmination of a twelve-year period in which I contributed dozens of articles to magical magazines, conducted daily columns on puzzles and simple tricks, plus a weekly series of fifty magic lessons for Howard Thurston, then America's leading stage magician. In it, I covered all phases of magic then current, from simple tricks to large illusions, updating them to the present with an eye for the future.

Inspired by the Sagrada Familia magic square, Dr. Hans-Christian Solka created his diptych, The Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, in 2017. The diptych consists of the magic squares The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ and The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. By combining Christian symbolism and mathematics, Solka created them with the symbolic sum of 33 without using duplicate numbers. Not only do the sums of each row, column, and diagonal add up to 33, but also the sum of the numbers of the cross. In the center of the cross is the number 9, commemorating the hour of Jesus Christ's...
Easily one of the most remarkable mentalism card routines you will ever perform!
Two participants select two cards from a shuffled deck. The deck is again shuffled and mixed. It is clear it is not marked (it could even be a borrowed deck) and not stacked in any way. The cards are placed face-down in front of each participant. Using telepathy, the mentalist proceeds to read their minds and discern the cards that each possesses. The mentalist then removes what he or she believes to be the "mates" of each participant's freely selected card and places them unambiguously on the table face-down...
After the deck is shuffled, twelve cards (one for each month of the year) are shown to the spectator and he thinks of the one corresponding to his birth month.
The twelve cards are isolated in folded papers to prevent any sleight of hand. The spectator names his card and commands it to return to the deck. The folded papers are opened and there are only eleven cards and when shown the thought-of card is not among them. The deck is spread and the thought-of card is found face up back in the deck.
Practically self-working. Easy and fast reset. Can be a different card each time.

"Thomas Baxter would be proud." - Brian Draven
"If you're a fan of the open prediction plot as I am, this is worth checking out. It's a very original approach, which combines existing methods in a unique and clever way." - Michael Gustav
"A very nice idea. I can see myself using this. Super easy to perform too." - Kevin Schneider
In this e-book, I want to share with you my own solution for the classic open prediction plot. The one major advantage of this version is that there is proper shuffling by the spectator just before the final deal - and the magician never touches the deck...
This is without a doubt the most powerful effect in my repertoire. The reactions it consistently generates from audiences are nothing short of astounding, and what makes it even more remarkable is it's easy to do. The psychological principles throughout this effect are truly fascinating - from the way it plays with expectations to how it builds and releases tension. Each of these psychological elements has been carefully crafted to create maximum impact, and these same principles can be effectively applied to enhance numerous other effects in your performances.
Effect: In this compelling...
A well-known principle in the 'relevant circles' but used in a mentalism routine for the first time. This is a nice and quick effect to always have with you. This can easily fit into any close-up or parlor set. You can also adapt this to stage if you want.
Personally, I carry this on my phone and am ready to perform this anytime, anywhere to anyone at a moment's notice. Of course, you can choose to do the same or you can print or write on both sides of a card (the size of the card is your choice - it can be poker size, index card, postcard, A5 or A4 size, etc) and carry the card with you. ...
A numerology experiment involving two predictions with only two packets of cards.
The magician introduces a set of playing cards for a numerology experiment. They all have a different value/number. Some have a red back and some have a blue back. The spectator deals the cards in two piles and puts any pile onto the other one. He does that as much as he wants. For the first phase, the magician needs to evaluate the level of synchronicity between him and the spectator. He removes a set of double blank cards from an envelope (on the table from the start). On one side of each card, he wrote the...
You show four cards from the back. They all have blue backs. When you shake them, one turns up face. It is the king of diamonds. When you show the cards again, they now all have red backs. Another shake and another king turns face up. But now they all have green backs. You then display all four kings from the face. The climax is that all four kings link into one ribbon.

My Favorite Card Magic explains tricks with straight-forward plots, classic methods and direct handlings. Gerald prefers uncomplicated tricks and routines which can be performed under the most demanding conditions. The tricks do require practice and skillful handling. But you'll not find "knuckle busting" sleights or complex procedures.
Gerald divides the PDF into two sections. Part One is for "in-the-hands" tricks. These routines work well for strolling situations or any time you have no tabletop available. At times, it becomes awkward or not possible for the spectators to take or sign...
"This is one of the most important card magic manuscripts published in the last 25 years. The 'principle' is truly a lost gem and I'm shocked that it's completely out of use today. As the decades passed, it appears magicians forgot about it. Do not pass this up. If you are a serious student of card magic, this principle is something you should know about. Study this manuscript, learn the principle, and, most importantly, learn the history surrounding it.
I've been studying card magic for over 20 years and I never heard of this principle until the Unnamed Magician brought it to my attention....
The contents of this series, for the most part, emphasize the history of effects and ideas. There are effects and methods in some of them, though.

Many of the descriptions are strictly original, and now, for the first time, appear in print; and especial care has been taken to introduce only such Experiments as are adapted...
