Here is what people are saying about Eight Exercises Plus:

"Faaaaaaaaaaaar too cheap, and an absolute tonic for any free-thinking psychic entertainer...I shall be exercising my mind via your writing yet again..." - Iain Dunford

"Dale has put together many thought provoking ideas that deal with readings and hypnosis. I'm sure many will get a lot of useful ideas and presentations from this book....

Four years have passed since I released the original Pieces at 3am. The book that came to be one of Dee's best selling collections and the single publication that spawned most variations by other artists of his original thoughts and ideas.

Dee has had the thought of doing a second volume for years, but he has never had the correct collection of effects and concepts that he felt could adhere to the original thought. All of the effects in the original book were ideas that came to him as he woke in a cold sweat at night. They were pieces that entered his conscious mind after dark, usually at around 3 am. ...

The effect reads totally impossible, yet it is accurate in every regard. One of the most unique and baffling magical effects on stage today. Direct from Devin Knight's own stage show and a limited release, this is based on a little known idea that Al Mann shared with Devin.

Al Mann's original idea has been revised and greatly improved upon to make it into a real visual showpiece. Read the effect and ponder how such a thing is possible:

Effect

Performer introduces a table containing a chess set. He tells the audience before the show he gave a copy of the best-selling book, "Chess Strategy"...

Here is the act exactly as the audience sees it:

The performer asks for the loan of three paperback novels, a piece of paper, and a pen or pencil. The performer says, "I have a feeling about one of you, and I think I have a pretty good idea about something that is going to be significant to you a little later on." The performer then writes something on the paper, folds it up, and hands it to one of the audience members.

Three audience members are now selected to participate in the tests. Participant #1 selects a book, opens it up to a random page and remembers a word. The other participants,...

Chris Hare presents two effects which when performed in sequence enables the performer to discover a complete stranger's Star Sign and birthday.

Star Finder is a clever technique for secretly discovering and revealing a complete stranger's Astrological Star Sign, without any prior knowledge whatsoever.

Using only six keywords and guiding someone through some simple mental imagery you will be able to correctly name someone's Astrological Star Sign, in a very short space of time. By using keywords it appears much less contrived than some other anagram based methods. Furthermore, the six...

Release #9 in Devin Knight's Psychic Sight series. Clip-Sight is a utility tool that will allow you to create miracles that defy explanation. It is an improvement over an old Al Mann idea. You can do all of the below effects and MORE with this gimmick. These effects will not only fry your audiences they will fool the majority of magicians as well. None of the below effects require any sleight of hand! All are easy to do, yet are some of the most impossible effects ever created. This sold professionally made up for $59 in the past. You can easily make your own for a fraction of that!

IMPOSSIBLE...

Back in 2001 Brad Burt produced David Eldridge's booklet, Mind Control. In the booklet are David's thoughts on Equivoque, or The Magician's Choice Force. Brad said, "(the effects David has created using Equivoque) are subtle and maximally deceptive, and deliver a kind of pure effect that can be the highlight of a professional show."

David Devlin has now reproduced this booklet in e-book format. In it are detailed explanations of how Equivoque works and techniques that make it deceptive. There are routines to get you started, including a routine in which a spectator blindly sets a wristwatch...

Read four minds at once!

The performer shows a chart consisting of five colored ESP symbols. He invites four people to participate. Each participant is asked to just think of an ESP symbol shown on the chart. The participants write nothing down, they just think of a symbol. There are no restrictions. Each person could be thinking of a different symbol, or they all could be thinking of the same symbol. They do not share their thoughts with each other. The performer begins to get impressions and calls out three symbols. He says, "If I have called out the symbol you are thinking of, please close...

Al Koran Professional Presentations is a magical classic and was first published in 1967 by Harry Stanley at the Unique Magic Studio. The original publication was marred by poor photographic reproduction so this new edition from Martin Breese has illustrations by Paul Griffin based on the original photographs. Hugh Miller has contributed a fascinating and lengthy introduction which explains a great deal about the background of this book which is a 'must' for every performer's library. Each effect is a stunner and the original Koran Medallion and many other now classic effects, are explained in detail.

1st edition...

For years Ron and Nancy have fooled audiences worldwide with their Minds in Harmony act. Here, for the first time, they reveal all of their treasured secrets - secrets that will enable the reader to recreate this act in its entirety. In his foreword to this book Edwin Dawes says:

Here are the secrets of Charles Cameron's stunning Castle Dracula Show. Charles Cameron is well known as the father of modern Bizarre magic. And for years, in a specially-built theatre at the Edinburgh Wax Museum, he and his group produced an amazing show which included brilliant original effects.

The show was honed year after year until each effect was near perfect and here in this beautifully produced book, Charles at last reveals his closely guarded secrets. Every single effect included can be performed exactly as described. Only a handful of props are required for you to emulate the mysteries...

Jack Yates is renowned as a creative innovator as evidenced by his many contributions to magical literature. This work contains nine first-class routines with a mental flavour including Clue which is worth its weight in gold and the P&S System.

Contents

• Monty: Three spectators choose one card each and then exchange them so that no one has his original selection. Despite this you are able to tell each spectator the identity of the card he now holds.
• Spy Story: A spectator's selected card is revealed when the performer magically decodes a secret message.
• Choice: A spectator chooses one...

All these routines are performed with a regular deck of ESP cards and with no sleight of hand whatsoever.

Contents:

• ELIMINEIGHT: From a deck you predict the selections of four ESP symbols.
• COMPUTERA: A spectator selects three cards. You pick three cards under a napkin. These three cards prove to be duplicates of the spectator’s selected cards.
• PACKETEN ONE: You locate a duplicate of a selected ESP design from a pile covered by a napkin.
• NO OBJECTS: You predict several symbol cards that spectators select.
• ESP NAME 6: Using the name of a spectator you will reveal freely selected...

Werner Miller is one of the most prolific creators with regards to ESP cards. All these routines are self-working with no sleight-of-hand whatsoever.

CONTENTS:

• ESP TWIZZLER: A symbol is selected and you find a duplicate in a packet of cards.

• AEOLIS PRELUDE: Using a compass you find five different symbols in...

(not to be confused with David’s E.S.P. Routine)

In effect, the performer lays out five cards, each of which has an ESP symbol on in. All of the cards are different and unprepared. Attention is now drawn to a small coin envelope, which, as the performer explains, contains a duplicate of one of the cards on the table. This is the prediction, and is kept in full view throughout the entire proceedings. A spectator now uses his mind to determine which four of the five cards are eliminated. The spectator makes real and honest decisions throughout the elimination process. The envelope is now opened, and it is found...

David Devlin, the guy who brought you Coincidence & Fate, gives you a three-phase routine with an E.S.P. deck. And best of all, the entire routine is self-working!

Phase 1: The deck is shown to consist of five different symbols repeated five times. The cards are then mixed and the squared deck is placed face-down in front of a spectator. The mentalist turns his back to the spectator, and tells her to cut the deck wherever she wishes, and to complete the cut. Once that is done she is to take the top card of the deck (the card she freely cut to, no force!), look at it and then hold it behind her back so that...
