Mentelimination PlusKen de CourcyFind any card a spectator takes from a borrowed and shuffled pack. EFFECT: The magician tells his audience he has trained his mind to work like a computer. To demonstrate its computer-like capabilities, he asks a spectator to shuffle a pack of cards then, without looking at it, remove one card and place it in his pocket. Taking back the pack, the performer runs through it quickly, then goes through it again even more quickly and pulls out one card which he places face down on the table. The spectator removes his card from his pocket and places it face-up alongside the magician's card, then... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish list | |

Patterns of Perfection RevisitedSam DalalAn easy approach to the perfect Magic Square. This is a completely new, and easier method for compiling a 4x4 (16 cell) Magic square that totals to any number called by the audience in 52 different ways.

You can master this with just a few trials in less than an hour, and use it for a lifetime - with nothing to buy, nothing to replace! With most magic square effects the method has two components. One component is memorization, the other calculation. For example, you memorize one particular magic square and... | ★★★★★ $4.75 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... | $5 to wish list | |

E-Z Square 1Werner MillerThis is a magic square effect where spectators freely enter numbers in the main diagonal and you quickly fill out the rest of the numbers producing a perfect magic square. Alternatively you could perform this the classic way that a spectator calls out a number and you fill in all the numbers to form a magic square. But the effect is stronger if your audience can freely choose not just the sum but several numbers in the square. In a variation Werner shows you how spectators can even select the squares where you should next enter a number during your fill-out sequence. The method is so simple... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
E-Z Square 2Werner MillerHere Werner Miller attacks the 4x4 square. (E-Z Square 1 deals with the 5x5 square.). You will learn a new and easy method to construct a 4x4 magic square starting with two or four given numbers. The real gem in this manuscript is the bonus routine. It is a unique presentation which makes your work simpler and allows you to predict the sum of the square. The effect is as follows: Take out a soft measuring tape of the kind tailors use (which has centimeters or inches marked on both sides), and a prediction. Give the prediction to a spectator for safekeeping. You will never touch it again. Have two... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |

E-Z Square 5Werner MillerAfter seeing a performance of Richard Wiseman's Grid, which shares some commonalities with Chris Wasshuber's The Ultimate Magic Square, Werner Miller was inspired to come up with his take on 'magic squares made from cards' ... The spectator decides on a number, and you produce instantly a magic square that has the spectator's number as its constant – simply by dealing out 16 or 25 ordinary playing cards. As an example here is the detailed effect for variation 2: Take out a deck of cards, give it a quick shuffle and then offer the spectator the deck for a cut. The spectator cuts off a portion of the deck and counts the amount... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
E-Z Square 6Werner MillerThis will most likely be Werner Miller's last installment in his E-Z Square series.

As a bonus Werner includes several magic square puzzles. 1st edition 2013; 15 pages. | $6 to wish list | |

Miracle Cube Root ExtractionRobert A. Nelson & B. W. McCarronAn apparent demonstration of superior brain power. Any number between 1 and 100 is cubed by a spectator, and the final result called aloud. The performer immediately extracts the cube root of this number without the use of electronics, stooges, or gimmicks. The calculation is performed immediately and entirely in the performer's mind, thanks to the secret master key. This feat, performed on paper after a lengthy effort by a spectator, is considered quite an accomplishment, but performed instantly, it is a sensation. Performer knows only the number submitted by the spectator, and immediately... | $6 to wish list | |

Poker Chip MysteryBob HummerSix poker chips, bearing the numbers 0 to ten are examined and mixed by a spectator. The spectator lays them on a table with no interference from the mentalist. While the performer's back is turned, the spectator turns over some chips. Three more are turned over and covered with a playing card, business card, or beer coaster. The performer turns around and, with no false moves or skulduggery, announces the total of the chips beneath the cards. It's that clean. And, surprisingly, it can be instantly repeated, with a different result. Just the thing for parties, get-togethers, and bars, while... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
Mathematical Three Card MonteBob HummerAn entertaining monte effect where the spectator, not the performer, switches the positions of the cards (which may be borrowed). Here's another mental stunner by Bob Hummer and it's one of the most baffling he's ever released. Briefly, it can be done with any deck, and only three cards are used - any three cards. The performer does not switch the cards around, as in the regular monte. It's the spectator who mixes the position of the cards - while the performer's back is turned. After the cards are mixed as much as desired, the spectator peeks at one card, remembers it, and then makes a... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
Magical ExperimentsArthur GoodThe best way of learning new things is doing them. Magical Experiments or Science in Play is a fascinating collection of kitchen table top experiments with every day household goods. Many of which have a 'magical' twist to them, in the sense that it is for the unfamiliar observer not quite clear how these tricks are performed, or what the physical mechanisms behind them are. More than 150 experiments are described with gorgeous lithographs. This book was originally written in French and later translated to English. This in itself is a proof of quality, otherwise the translation would not have... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish listPDF & EPUB |
