Science & Math Tricks
Science often appears like magic. Even some small physics or chemical experiment can be utterly baffling. Same is true with math. Some of the best self-working magic tricks have a mathematical foundation at heart. That is why particularly in the past magicians were often exhibiting the latest advances in science and technology as entertainment. For example, Robert-Houdin's "Heavy and Light Chest" was a simple application of an electromagnet. The projection of images and later moving images was mostly done by magicians in the early days of photography and film.

Why A Magic Square Should Not Be A Magic SquareUnknown MentalistThe owners of Square Thrills can get this ebook for half price.
This is not about construction of a magic square. This is about presenting and representing a magic square in such a manner that the audience cannot uncover your secrets by doing a simple search on the internet, which is what is happening to most of the magic square routines these days. 5 solutions for alternative presentations/representations for a magic square are provided along with some bonus ideas. A novel and self working routine is included which uses the magic square principles in a clever and unconventional manner but does not... | 2016 / 7 / 25 | $18.00 £13.86 €15.84 Ca$24.12 Au$24.59 ¥2029.12 | to wish list |
Ask PythagorasRobin GillettThe performer selects a participant from the audience (no stooges, no pre-show) who is asked to think of a significant date in his/her life (nothing is written down nor told to anyone).
The participant divides three numbers into the thought of date and the performer interprets the results as Pythagoras (the Father of Numerology) would have to reveal aspects of the participant's past, present, and future. Then, he surprises every one by revealing the thought of date! This is one of several presentations described in this e-book, including one contributed by the Unknown Mentalist. The method is a sophisticated... | 2016 / 7 / 3 | $18.00 £13.86 €15.84 Ca$24.12 Au$24.59 ¥2029.12 | to wish list |
Introduction to Non-Transitive Gambling Bets for MagiciansBruce CarlleyBruce Carlley is going to show you a number of games that the magician or gambler plays against a spectator one on one. The spectator gets a free choice of the objects that are used in the gambling game. (Some games use cards, dice, pieces of paper, spinners, etc.) For example, say the spectator has a choice of four dice. Spectator picks one die and the magician picks one die. Each rolls their die, and the high number wins. Whoever wins a best of 12 game match wins the game. Unfortunately for the spectator, the magician will almost always win the match. The probability will ALWAYS be in the... | 2015 / 10 / 17 | $10.00 £7.70 €8.80 Ca$13.40 Au$13.66 ¥1127.29 | to wish list |
Pyramid PropheciesNick ConticelloFrom the introduction:
This ebook is a bit of a departure for me. The material is mathematical, but it need not be performed with playing cards. It can be performed with pencil and paper close-up, or with a blackboard or a dry-erase white board in platform or stage settings. Thus it can be employed in situations when the use of playing cards would be inappropriate. However, I will describe these effects with playing cards as that is how I use them. | 2015 / 8 / 13 | $12.00 £9.24 €10.56 Ca$16.08 Au$16.39 ¥1352.75 | to wish list |
Fun With MagicGeorge BrunelAmusing Experiments in Physics, Chemistry and Geometry
The title is a little bit misleading, because there are no real magic tricks in this book, at least not the kind that a magician would assume. It is essentially a book of 'kitchen' science experiments. Some of these experiments can of course be presented like a magic trick. But the majority of them are simply interesting or surprising science experiments which can be done at home with a little bit of preparation. From the preface: The sole aim of this little book, aside from its purposes as a source of profitable pastime, is to... | 2015 / 7 / 12 | $5.00 £3.85 €4.40 Ca$6.70 Au$6.83 ¥563.65 | to wish list |
Chemical MagicV. E. JohnsonThis ebook describes a host of chemical experiments which can be presented as magic tricks or surprising science experiments. It is a reproduction of an old book and therefore some of these experiments require exotic chemicals, some of which are toxic or can be harmful in many other ways. If you intend to replicate any of these experiments you must follow all laws and regulations and you are on your own in terms of any liabilities. We are reproducing this book for historic and information purposes.

The Human EquationMarc PaulWhen this idea popped into my head I could not wait to try it out. I had a show the very next day and put this routine in. It was a storming success. You will not find any new methods here, although the principles in use are very well hidden. What you will find is a concept and presentation that I think is VERY special.
Recently thoughts regarding my own act have turned to making the whole performance more of an experience for EVERYONE in the audience. Performers who use any Q&A routine know that one of the appeals of such a routine is that it is a "Macro" effect. In other words everyone... | 2014 / 11 / 8 | $18.00 £13.86 €15.84 Ca$24.12 Au$24.59 ¥2029.12 | to wish list |

ProofIan KendallProof is a collection of strange mathematical proofs where you can show, convincingly, that things are not always what they seem. To most people, the idea that 'minus one' is equal to 'one' might sound barmy, or that Pi=2, or 4, or that 4=5, but that is what you will be able to prove with this video.
Ian has been using some of these diversions for well over thirty years, and he can attest to how much fun they are to demonstrate. They are not 'performance pieces' - by that he means that they would not fit into a traditional magic show, but as an impromptu moment of strange, they are perfect.... | 2014 / 5 / 25 | $15.00 £11.55 €13.20 Ca$20.10 Au$20.49 ¥1690.94 | to wish list WMV + MP4 |
