The Phoenix was a biweekly periodical published in New York by Walter Gibson and Bruce Elliott. After issue 73, Bruce Elliott ran it alone. A total of 300 issues were published. It was meant to continue in spirit and quality the legendary Jinx, which ceased after Annemann's death in January of 1942. And indeed, The Phoenix continued to publish excellent and innovative material.

The audience is asked to choose one of the two decks from which two different spectators will each select a card: the first will keep his card hidden, while the second will return his to the deck and shuffle to hide it; once the deck is returned to its case, the magician will guess the first card simply by weighing the case. Then, taking the second deck and showing it, the magician will have the second spectator’s card found among a predetermined number of cards!

Viene fatto scegliere uno dei due mazzi dai quali due diversi spettatori dovranno scegliere una carta ciascuno: il primo la tratterrà nascosta, il secondo la reinserirà nel mazzo e la disperderà mescolandolo.

Fatto reinserire il mazzo nel suo astuccio, solamente soppesandolo il mago indovinerà la prima carta. Prendendo poi il secondo mazzo e mostrandolo, il mago farà ritrovare ad un numero prestabilito la carta del secondo spettatore!

The core principle underlying these effects is the classic binary method. But the twist here is that instead of "directly" identifying the target object (as done in the standard binary method), the participant is asked to identify only a group that contains the target object and not the target object directly. This adds a thick layer of deception over the regular binary method. So I call this Shadow Binary. And it is performed from a pocket card, which is an ideal EDC - Every...

The magician challenges a pair of spectators to a game of Texas Hold'em Poker and lets one of them deal the cards, but manages to predict everything about the outcome, including his win with a straight!

The title, which is intended to mean 'Sensory Perceptions for 3 Poker Players', presents an experiment in which the magician, after showing and shuffling a pack of cards, plays a game of poker with two members of the audience. By letting one of the two spectators act as the dealer and following the rules of Texas Hold'em - without even looking at his own cards - he will know the hands held...

Il Mago sfida una coppia di spettatoriad una partita a Texas Holdìem Poker e lascia che sia uno dei due a fare da mazziere, ma riesce a prevedere ogni cosa riguardo al finale, inclusa la sua vincita con una SCALA!

Lasciando il ruolo di mazziere ad uno dei due spettatori e seguendo le regole del Texas Hold’em, senza manco guardare le sue...

Three cards, chosen at random when “Stop” is called by three different audience members, are revealed by the magician in order of increasing difficulty, until the limit of the unbelievable is nearly reached!

The title refers to a magic experiment with cards, in which the magician, after showing and shuffling a pack of cards, hands it to three members of the audience – chosen to take part – so that they may cut and complete as they please. Once the deck has been returned, the magician begins to deal the cards, stacking them face down until each spectator has called out ‘Stop’ and...

Tre Carte scelte a caso allo Stoppronunciato da Tre Diversi Spettatori,vengono scoperte dal mago in modalità di difficoltà crescente, fino a sfiorare il limite dell’incedibile!

Il titolo, traducibile in italiano con “Sempre un Gioco a Tre”, indica un esperimento di Cartomagia dove il prestigiatore, dopo aver mostrato e mescolato un mazzo di carte, lo consegna a tre spettatori, scelti per partecipare, perché lo taglino e ricompongano a piacere. Ripreso il mazzo, il mago inizia a distribuire le carte, impilandole di dorso fino a che ogni spettatore avrà pronunciato il proprio “Stop”...

A spectator, having chosen two cards from a deck she has cut herself, says 'Stop' and then randomly selects two different points where to place her two cards, which, inexplicably, will end up right next to their respective twins!

Unexplicable Random Twins is a new card magic trick in which the magician, after showing and shuffling a pack of cards, hands it to a female spectator, who cuts it and rearranges it as she pleases. She then takes it behind her back and, after cutting it one last time, draws the top two cards face down. The magician and the spectator divide all the remaining cards...

This book focuses specifically on the topic of cyclic mathematical stacks, presenting six different types, for each of which it provides a detailed description of the creation process and accompanies each with a whole series of miraculous automatic (self-working) effects made possible by these secret prearrangements.

In conclusion, the book presents several striking effects, each of which requires only a simple preparation of the deck of cards. In total, you'll find 25 different effects described here, divided into 7 different categories of stacks:

• Stebbins 4
• Snibbets 4
• Stebbins 5 ...

A card chosen at random along the path virtually manages to find the real way to meet its twin.

This is an original card magic effect in which the magician, after showing and shuffling a deck of cards, hands it to a spectator who, after cutting and completing it, one or more times as desired, is ready to follow the magician's instructions. The latter asks him to turn over the first card and place next to it as many cards as its value. He will turn over the last one and repeat the process a second time, again based on the value of the card he turned over. At that point, when the last card...

This is a doubly magical effect in which a spectator selects a card from the deck - twice - based on the number resulting from the roll of two imaginary dice.

It's an effect in which the magician shows the entire deck to the audience while removing the two Jokers, shuffes it, and has a spectator cut the deck and complete - over and over again, as many times as the spectator wishes. When satisfied, the magician will stack a small pile of face-down cards, setting aside the rest of the deck. The spectator will imagine rolling two six-sided dice and mentally read the total (from 2 to 12). He...

Among the distinguished contributors are people like Paul Hallas, Peter Duffie, Max Maven, Walt Lees, Aldo Colombini, Mark Leveridge, Stephen Tucker ... and of course Al E. Smith himself.

See the table of contents on the separate volume pages.

The ability to access someone's secret information without tipping them off is a mentalist's dream. Doing it cleanly, right under their noses, feels like a superpower - and here you will find 3 tools to do that, the power is now in your hands.

PS. I personally recommend learning at least 2 different center tears so that if you do it twice at the same event or before the same people, it does not look rehearsed.

The Society of American Magicians was founded in 1902. Their first society journal was published in October 1911 on the suggestion of Charles Roltare. The currently serving president was the editor. Its content is a mix of meeting notes, news, opinions, and articles on historical matters, a good portion of which has been contributed by Harry Houdini.

1st edition 1911, PDF 821 pages.

A legendary periodical now for the first time available in digital form. The digital edition is a Lybrary.com exclusive. If you see it offered anywhere else, you know it is a pirated edition, most likely far inferior in quality and completeness.

Magick started on July 17th, 1970, and ceased publication on November 12th, 1993. It spans 23 years, 496 issues in 19 volumes. More than 1400 effects from several hundred of the best minds in mentalism, on more than 2400 pages. The list of contributors is staggering. Below is just a small sampling from the several hundred contributors. You will find...

Compelling evidence of other-worldly existence as demonstrated with pasteboards.

I never believed in flying saucers ... that is, not until that fateful night in 2003. You may remember it. That's the night the power went out from the northeast to the midwest, and even left parts of Canada in the dark. Sunspots? Tree branches? Human error? You might think you know the cause, but I know. Because I was there when it all went down.

And so begins this extraordinary card miracle that'll have your spectators believing in UFOs and extra-terrestrials.

A borrowed deck is shuffled and a spectator...

An experiment of thought - powered by statistics, imagination, and impossibility.

This new effect offers a seamless experience between two spectators using only their own phones. No apps to install. No magician intervention. Just a static website that appears to display nothing more than card statistics.

Each participant thinks of a card, submits it, and follows a set of seemingly harmless instructions. Everything happens in their imagination: a card is exchanged, inserted into a virtual deck at a specific position. And yet, when the real deck is counted, the cards are found exactly where...

An impossible prediction.

Your spectator uses their own phone to fill a 3x3 grid with numbers 1-9 in completely random positions. They calculate the mathematical total themselves using their own choices, their own device, their own numbers. (Note: The input method is handwriting. To give you an idea, this is the app the spectator will use to manually fill out the 3x3 grid.)

Yet you've already predicted their exact result.

No apps to download. No gimmicked props. Pure mathematical impossibility.

Why this destroys audiences:

• Their phone, their choices - eliminates every possible...

When Ed Marlo expressed his wish that his material be kept available "For the Guys," it was not his intent that the cost be prohibitive. That was not Ed's way. Ed didn't publish his material for the small amount of money they produced. He never received payment for most of the material he contributed. In keeping with the spirit of Ed's pricing, Wesley has decided to offer special pricing for those who purchase the full set of Marlo In New Tops.

In the month of October 2024, in recognition of the passing of the self-proclaimed "King of Cards," Harry Houdini, and the birth of the true, modern "King of...

This periodical ran for 5 volumes and 60 numbers, from September 1905 to August 1910. With volume 1 number 9, it became the official organ of the Magic Circle. For the last two numbers in 1910, P. T. Selbit handed the editorship to George Munro. It was succeeded by the Magic Wand.
