Get two of Ralf's incredible and impossible bill braids.

Years ago Robert E. Neale came up with his method on how the make an impossible gift out of a borrowed banknote using three strips and a few folds. Now it's time to bring this idea to the next level by using four strips! This makes the braided bill look even more impossible then before!

1. You could use almost any borrowed banknote or paper. (It does not work with Euros.)
2. Totaly impromptu.
3. No glue or hidden cuts. Make this impossible object right under the nose of the audience. Even if they look very close, they can't rebuild it.

Note: The folding technique of Robert E. Neale's version is totally different...

Here is a straight forward effect which is enabled by a clever gimmick. You ask somebody to think of any one of the five ESP symbols. Then you look deep into their eyes, read their mind, and commit by writing what you read in their mind on a little notebook. Then you ask them to reveal their thoughts. You will be able to show that you wrote down the same symbol.

• No force. Any one of the five ESP symbols can be selected.
• You are not limited to the ESP symbols. Any other small number of symbols, numbers, etc. can be used.
• The notepad is gimmicked. It can be shown but not handed out.
• A bit...

With this prepared bottle you can twist off the cap, and place the cap literally in the air - it floats - while pouring the liquid into a glass.

Any plastic bottle can be prepared. At the end you can hand out the bottle and the cap for examination!

This effect was designed for stand up and parlor magic.

These linked cards make for wonderful presents, display objects, and conversation starters. Potentially...

A bottle label magically penetrates the glass and is attached on the inside of the bottle.

Effect: Write down a prediction, for example a playing card. Since you have no piece of paper you write the prediction on the label of a cola bottle. Then have a spectator take a card from your deck (yes folks, you will need to force the card). And then reveal that you have correctly predicted the card. To give the spectator a little souvenir you sign the bottle label. On further thought you want to make it even more special. Take out your lighter, burn the label and suddenly the label with the prediction...

You punch a hole thru the corner of two signed playing cards. You clearly show both sides of the playing cards and instantly link them together! But that's not enough. You tear off one corner and make it vanish only to appear inside of the signed playing card while the spectator holds the cards in his hands! The corner matches perfectly. Give the cards away as a Souvenir. They will find nothing. Perform it close up and stand up. The gimmick is easy to build.
