You'll also receive full access to 2 custom web apps: ...
A simple presentation/props for a trick using the Gilbreath principle.
The magician plays a game with a spectator and tells him that the spectator is guaranteed to win. The spectator will make every decision. And this all happens because the magician can see into the future.

A freely named card. A freely chosen number. A shuffled deck that the magician never touches.
Yet, against all logic, the card appears exactly at the chosen position. No gimmicks, no sleight-of-hand - just an astonishing effect that seems beyond explanation.
Leveraging the power of subtle psychology and indirect use of web apps, The Ultimate ACAAN pushes the boundaries of what feels like real magic.
Please note that you will need a phone, or computer, your own or the spectator's, so that the spectator can visit a particular website that displays probabilities of chosen cards.

Mathematical Magic is exactly what its name implies - entertaining tricks, stunts, and effects that can be performed using numbers or objects, such as calendars and playing cards based on numerical principles. These tricks are amazingly simple and require only a few additional props, such as string, coins, or matches, nothing elaborate or professional. With a little practice and some patter, any amateur can put on a performance like a real professional.
The fascinating properties of numbers and the strange coincidences connected with them have been the subject of many books, and mathematical...

Hailed as the first book to present magic for children from the standpoint of child mentality. It outlines the opportunities in this field, discusses the type of program to be used, and tells how to work with children successfully. Several sample programs with presentation and patter are included.
The book also includes a supplement on "Sermonizing Magic" by Rev. Russell S. Balsiger which makes it extremely valuable to those who perform "magic with a message."

What if your birthdate determined your Lucky Card, and what if that card was found in the exact position predicted in a shuffled deck - without the magician ever touching the cards?
With Lucky Card, you introduce a powerful connection between a deck of playing cards and the calendar, leading to an astonishing and impossible revelation. A spectator freely selects their birthdate, discovering a unique card linked to it. Then, against all odds, that very card is found at a specific position in a deck that has been set aside from the start.
Completely hands-off and deeply personal, Lucky...
Welcome to a magical experience that will leave you speechless. This incredible magic trick will immerse you in moments of pure wonder and amazement. Here's how it works:
Preparation: Four Aces are placed face up on the table. Small piles are formed underneath by dealing cards one by one under each Ace.
Audience Participation: The first spectator can say "stop" and decide on which Ace to place the next face-down card. This process is repeated by three other spectators, actively involving the audience and making the trick even more exciting.
The Magic: Once all the spectators have...

"If you love magic history, you need this book. If you love card magic, you'll also get a big section of hardcore card methods from France. Christian Gambin, one of Paris' last remaining classic music-hall performers, has preserved the wild, bygone world of the Paris cabaret magic scene in his autobiography, an entire field of the art that disappeared as the modern era dawned. Gambin is a multitalented entertainer who's performed everywhere in Europe from the Paradis Latin to the Monaco Grand Prix of Magic. I saw him knock out audiences at many of those places. You'll...

This is a very powerful two-spectator coincidence effect, where one spectator selects (and loses) a card under very fair conditions, and then a second spectator impossibly locates the card.
Imagine:
The magician introduces a deck of cards - he spreads it face-up to display that all the cards are different. He then hands the deck over to one of the spectators and asks them to thoroughly shuffle the deck. (They can shuffle in any way that they want.)
The magician then says, "I want you to make a free choice of any card in the shuffled deck. Simply spread the deck face down across the...
Every magician is certain to encounter a stacked deck at some point, whether in the early stages of learning or as they expand their repertoire. Understanding stacks not only equips magicians with powerful tools for creating seemingly impossible effects but also sharpens their awareness of how others might use these techniques. Mastery of stacks enhances one's ability to perform complex tricks, analyze routines critically, and develop innovative methods to captivate an audience. Embracing this foundational skill ensures that magicians can perform with both confidence and creativity.

Edward Marlo's "Further Flight" from 1972 was a response to Lynn Searles "Pre-Cannibal Cards". These are some routines around that topic.
Effect: The magician, demonstrating remarkable foresight and confidence in his abilities, cuts to the exact poker hand revealed by a secret prediction after the spectator shuffles the deck.
For those seeking a more realistic version of the classic 10-card poker demonstration, this presentation offers enhanced credibility and realism. The spectator thoroughly shuffles the deck both before and during the demonstration. The spectator cuts the deck taking the card he cuts to. Magician does the same. This is repeated until both have 5 cards that form a poker hand.
The demonstration concludes...

Unlock the power of coincidence with Pocket, Left & Right by Wolfgang Riebe. This mind-bending effect will have your audience questioning reality as you effortlessly influence their choices. Picture this: you shuffle a deck of cards and hand three to a spectator. They freely shuffle and choose one to keep in their pocket while the other two cards are again shuffled and one card kept in either hand - total free choice for the spectator. The jaw-dropping moment arrives when the card in the left hand reveals "LEFT," the right hand shows "RIGHT," and the pocket card declares "POCKET." And just...
After shuffling the deck, you put a prediction card face down on the table. After some further shuffling you spread the deck and three cards appear face-up, three tens. You turn over your prediction but it is not the fourth ten but an ace. But don't worry, another fan of the cards and your prediction ace is now the missing ace in a royal flush.

EFFECT: An envelope with two predictions is given to a spectator to hold. A card is selected in a very fair manner, discovering at the same time, several cards which are left face up. You request the spectator to add the value of the face-up cards and note the total. You open the envelope and extract two Jumbo cards from it.
At this point, you ask the total that the spectator...
The performer either goes amongst the audience or invites six people on the stage. From a pack of playing cards, six cards are dealt to each of the six people. They are requested to select one card and to place same in their inside pocket. The remaining cards are gathered and thoroughly shuffled and the performer does not handle the cards anymore. At no time does the performer know which cards have been selected. A number of boards with cards on them are now exhibited and shown to spectators. They are to say "yes" when they see their own card, and the performer immediately announces correctly...
Excerpt from the introduction:
The end is purely altruistic. There is little cash to gain in Magical Publishing, but loving Magic, I cannot help but write about it, and in writing, I fondly hope that I am helping many other conjurers to progress nearer to the perfection that cannot be fully accomplished on this mortal sphere.
I shall not eulogise the contents of this book, but I would point out that the complete cigarette act described has been worked exactly as described, and has proved to be eminently satisfactory.
Hummer's Word is a card magic effect based on a variant of the principle called CATO (Cut And Turn Over), developed by Bob Hummer. This version uses updated techniques to achieve even more surprising and unpredictable results.
For execution, the use of an alphabetical deck is recommended, in which each card represents a single letter of the alphabet. Alternatively, you can create a craft deck using business cards, blank cards or cut-out cardstock. You can also replace the alphabetical deck with classic poker cards, and perform the effect in a completely improvised way, even with a borrowed and incomplete...

In alternativa, è possibile creare un mazzo artigianale usando biglietti da visita, carte bianche o cartoncini ritagliati. Puoi anche sostituire il mazzo alfabetico con le classiche carte da poker, ed eseguire l'effetto...
Note: This effect necessarily requires learning the coding method explained here: My Secret Coding for a Thought-of Card
An amazing mind reading effect with a surprising "Any Card At Any Number" ending, using my new Secret Two Person Codes.
This is a mentalism effect that uses my recently published Secret Verbal Encoding to not only allow the medium to mentally identify a chosen card but to allow him (or her) a surprise final A.C.A.A.N. (Any Card At Any Number), in which he (or she) will announce the number that will cause the spectator himself to find a copy of his card, having been told which color of the deck to use,...
