Counting TerminologyThis is a very short video, but it explains something that I've never seen clearly explained anywhere else. I'm not sure it's worth the price, but I don't regret my purchase since it answered my questions.


The Card Magic of Peter Duffie

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 01 December, 2024)

The Card Magic of Peter DuffieThose tricks used to be sold independently. Obviously, you have to provide your own special cards (blank backs, blank faces and so on). To perform Thunderstruck, you'll have to make the special cards by yourself. Tricks like A Free Choice, Bleached, Ghost Flight, Point-Blank Assembly are classics. They are worth the price of this ebook.

Perfected Sealed Message ReadingThis is a handling of the Q & A envelopes and cards that is very do-able and that you will enjoy using and learning. It was published by Max Holden in 1950 and revamped for today's use. I have read many methods by Annemann and Baker and many others and find this one to have the simplicity needed to make the whole process seem second nature. I highly recommend it.

The 'Holy Grail' of Phone EffectsSo many tricks do not live up to the hype, this one surpasses it. No misleading wording in the ad, everything is exactly as described. You may present it as written or you have the freedom to personalize it. I’ve performed magic for over 50 years and I have never seen anything like this method used before. I can honestly say that I believe this will fool everyone who sees it, just like it did me.

Miraculous Hindu FeatsThere's really not much here. It's nine pages when you get past the cover, introduction, and table of contents. One of two "secrets," the rest is not a surprise. Going in, I knew that there would be nothing useful performance-wise, but I thought it might contain some interesting bits of Indian Fakir performances. There is not really much here that is surprising or interesting. It is $6 for a 10-minute read that I will not look at again.

ESPerience XThis routine is very interesting, but what you get is a little weird. The pdf and the video are both incomplete; you need both to piece the explanation together. And that explanation is rather spare - you'll need to find a way to 'explain' why the cards are blank in the end (for example, why do they hallucinate?). So the trick is worthwhile, but the magic? - some assembly is required.


Sfida Impossibile al New Zealand Poker: Trionfo sotto Steroidi

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Davide Rubat Remond
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 11 November, 2024)

Sfida Impossibile al New Zealand Poker: Trionfo sotto SteroidiSe Sfida impossibile al Poker Neo-Zelandese, il nuovo effetto di Biagio Fasano, fosse una magia da palcoscenico sarebbe certamente una grande illusione, paragonabile al baule della metamorfosi o ad una bella cassa per sezionare in più parti l’essere vivente al suo interno. La sfida consiste in un’inedita versione di poker, dalle regole un po' strampalate, ma comunque divertente e semplice da seguire: si presenta come una classica routine con il mazzo di carte da distribuire e tagliare in vari mazzetti, ma sul finale cambia direzione e culmina nell’impossibile. La sorpresa della sconfitta da parte dello spettatore, in una sfida che aveva tutte le caratteristiche per una facile vittoria, si produce quando le aspettative sono tradite dalla comparsa di un incredibile poker d’assi finale. L’illusionista vincerà la sfida se, alla fine delle varie fasi di gioco (che potranno essere tre o quattro), aprendo il nastro di carte, tutti e quattro gli assi risulteranno voltati a faccia in su, mentre tutte le altre carte saranno voltate di dorso. Se anche una sola di queste condizioni non si dovesse verificare, lo spettatore sarà decretato il vincitore. Lo spettatore inizia la sfida con il grande vantaggio di giocare con il doppio delle carte coperte, rispetto all’illusionista che gioca a carte scoperte, e i quattro assi di dorso (le condizioni essenziali per la sua vittoria); per tutta la durata dell’effetto le carte saranno continuamente distribuite in vari mazzetti, poi ricomposti dopo essere stati eventualmente voltati dalla parte opposta, secondo la volontà dello spettatore. Un’attenzione particolare al movimento dei quattro assi da un mazzetto all’altro, da un verso all’altro, in ogni momento delle varie fasi di gioco, restituisce il senso di genuina casualità ottenuto dalle scelte assolutamente libere dello spettatore. La cosa davvero incredibile di questo effetto di Biagio, che è ispirato ed è figlio del suo precedente Virtual Revelation Triumph, è la grande, totale libertà di azione dello spettatore sui mazzetti e, in particolare sulla distribuzione delle carte nella seconda fase, senza alcun ordine prestabilito. Allo stesso modo la terza fase (facoltativa perché allunga i tempi di esecuzione) simula l’utilizzo di alcuni dadi, che sono emblemi stessi di casualità. Ho avuto modo di testarlo prima della pubblicazione e devo dire che la prima volta non ho creduto ai miei occhi, ero sicuro non potesse riuscire, e invece i quattro assi si sono presentati puntuali tra tutte le altre carte di dorso. È assolutamente incomprensibile ad un primo impatto la meccanica di questo effetto che sfrutta il principio CATO (Cut And Turn Over) di Bob Hummer in una forma evoluta. Anche le versione contactless, offerta come alternativa all’effetto principale, da eseguire al telefono è qualcosa di incredibile (provato personalmente con Biagio) che accade direttamente tra le mani dello spettatore. Oltre alla caratteristica di essere un effetto incredibile, incomprensibile, di grande impatto è totalmente automatico e impromptu, consente l’assoluta libertà di scelta allo spettatore, senza calcoli matematici, senza alcuno sforzo di memoria, senza tecniche particolari, anzi nessuna tecnica cartomagica. Solo un mazzo di carte, anche non completo, può essere personalizzato a proprio gusto personale. Questa volta Biagio ha superato sé stesso, sarà difficile pensare a qualcosa di migliore di questa Sfida impossibile al Poker Neo-Zelandese, in termini di qualità dell’effetto magico, semplicità di esecuzione e totale libertà di azione.


Impossible Challenge at New Zealand Poker: Triumph on Steroids

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Davide Rubat Remond
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 11 November, 2024)

Impossible Challenge at New Zealand Poker: Triumph on SteroidsIf Impossible Challenge to New Zealand Poker, Biagio Fasano's new effect, were a stage magic, it would certainly be a great illusion, comparable to Metamorphosis or a beautiful crate to dissect into several parts the living being inside. The challenge consists of a novel version of poker, with somewhat wacky rules, but still fun and easy to follow it looks like a classic routine with the deck of cards to be dealt and cut into various bundles, but at the end, it changes direction and culminates in the impossible. The surprise of defeat on the part of the spectator, in a challenge that had all the hallmarks of an easy victory, is produced when expectations are betrayed by the appearance of an incredible final poker of aces. The illusionist will win the challenge if, at the end of the various stages of the game (which may be three or four), on ribbon spreading the cards, all four aces appear to be turned face up, while all other cards are turned face down. If even one of these conditions does not occur, the spectator will be declared the winner. The spectator begins the challenge with the great advantage of playing with double the number of covered cards, compared to the illusionist who plays with uncovered cards, and the four back aces (the essential conditions for his or her victory). Throughout the duration of the effect, the cards will be continuously dealt in various piles, then reassembled after eventually being turned to the opposite side, according to the spectator's will. Special attention to the movement of the four aces from one pack to another, from one direction to the other, at each moment of the various stages of the game, restores the sense of genuine randomness obtained from the spectator's free choices. The truly amazing thing about this effect of Biagio, which is inspired by and is the child of his previous Virtual Revelation Triumph, is the great, total freedom of action of the spectator on the packets and, on the distribution of cards in the second phase, without any predetermined order. Similarly, the third phase (optional because it lengthens execution time) simulates the use of some dice, which are emblems themselves of randomness. I had a chance to test it before publication and I must say that the first time I did not believe my eyes, I was sure it could not succeed, and instead the four aces showed up on time among all the other back cards. It is absolutely incomprehensible at first glance the mechanics of this effect that exploits Bob Hummer's CATO (Cut And Turn Over) principle in an evolved form. Even the contactless versions offered as an alternative to the main effect, to be performed over the phone is something incredible (personally experienced with Biagio) that happens directly in the hands of the viewer. In addition to the characteristic of being an incredible, incomprehensible, high-impact effect, it is totally automatic and impromptu, allowing absolute freedom of choice to the spectator, with no mathematical calculations, no memory effort, no special techniques, indeed no card magic techniques. Only a deck of cards, even an incomplete one, can be customized to one's personal taste. This time Biagio has surpassed himself; it will be hard to think of anything better than this Impossible Challenge to New Zealand Poker, in terms of the quality of the magical effect, simplicity of execution and total freedom of action.


The Invisible Man Effect

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

Rating: ★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 09 November, 2024)

The Invisible Man EffectThis manuscript details effects already known in countless "spook show" writings as well as employing a reference to a levitation effect that is not included nor explained in this writing. More of a "take these effects from different sources that you know and put them together to create this". Not worth the purchase.

More Mind MagicMore Mind Magic is a collection of four mentalism effects that are suited to close-up and especially one-to-one performance. Michael Daniels' crisply written collection will stimulate your thinking and, if you do any mentalism at all, there is likely an effect among the four that you will pick up and try. My personal favorite is Cyclops, which allows the mentalist to correctly identify and name in order a stack of 5 ESP cards while they remain stacked. You do not touch the cards.

Blindsight: the originalThis is one of those routines that requires a certain boldness and, until you do it a few times, you wonder if it can be pulled off with its wonderful simplicity. You quickly learn that Devin Knight understands that people make assumptions about certain everyday objects that allow your methodology to fly right under their radar. It is fun to perform and easily lends itself to transition into other effects with related themes -- colors, for example.

Balloon Detective

Overall customer rating: ★★★★

reviewed by James Gadbois (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 03 November, 2024)

Balloon DetectiveThis is an excellent routine. It really adds something to a magic show and it eats a lot of time, which can be very helpful for those annoyingly long 2-3 hour gigs we might sometimes find ourselves questioning whether or not to accept. This routine can turn the much beloved and highly profitable skill of simple balloon animal making into a GENUINE MAGIC TRICK, instead of... Well, instead of just being balloon twisting.

If you're a magician thinking about getting into balloons, you can't go wrong with this one.

Be warned however, once you start twisting balloons your show is basically over and you will be twisting balloons for the next 30 minutes or so until all the kids who want one get one.

Trust me, done strategically, this is a GOOD thing!

Comedy Coin PredictionThis is a fun close-up prediction effect that should get a good laugh. It's based on an old math trick that Devin has brought up to date. Virtually everyone on Earth has a mobile device with a calculator app, so you can do this at the drop of a hat. You will need a penny that is cut in half; in the ebook, Devin explains how to make it. Once you have that and have the simple math steps memorized, you'll be ready to entertain!

Auto-Spell DeckThis ebook is about a really good effect that is easy to make up and perform. Perform this as a magic trick or as an unusual mental effect. You cannot use the deck for any other tricks, but you could always do a deck switch. It's also not really good for strolling performances because of the reset, but it's ideal for formal close-up and stand-up shows. Recommended.


Theory of Sequential Decks

Overall customer rating: ★★★★

reviewed by Gregg Webb (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 26 October, 2024)

Theory of Sequential DecksThis is very technical writing about kinds of sequences for set-up decks, but given the price I don't see why a cardman wouldn't get it and look it over in case something strikes his fancy. I am a card enthusiast and have tried many systems in my time, and I can see going through this a few times more. Why not? I might learn something. Personally I avoid using true memory although I did the cover art for a number of memorized deck systems, but favor the Bart Harding stack which is a calculation and not a memorization, but I try to keep an open mind about the field. This book explores a number of approaches. Just a false shuffle or false cut and you are a miracle worker. If you do true memory work, you can really even spread the deck face up. I also know a few mnemonic stacks that can be spread face up and don't seem to be in any order, but are. Have fun going through this.

I'm also glad he mentioned the pinky c...t as an alternative technique for a small number of cards. But after that, I found nothing interesting for me, and I think the paragraph on the three-way f...g deck is out of topic. This PDF does not say much about the methods to use if the estimate is not completely accurate. For that, read what Simon Aronson or Michael Close wrote on the estimation. Overall, good complement to other writings on the subject of estimation.

Propless Name and Place in 45 SecondsThis was a joy to perform. I did this on my team mates (helping on my thesis) right after I read the pdf and it went very well. I'm a fan of propless effects (read quite a bit of Peter Turner, Phedon Bilek, Fraser Parker etc) and this one is very different - direct, short and automatic and easy to perform - a rare combo in propless effects. The premise of the participants creating an imaginary name and an imaginary place for an imaginary person is quite engaging and powerful. I plan to add some bits of my own script to personalize it, of course. This is a "quick hard punch" like effect for anytime use at a great price. This will now be in my go to propless toolbox.

As a student of the esoteric arts, the core learning for me was not much. A little gem here and there. More interesting than it was informative. Nothing in terms of actual tools of the trade. And a lot of general advice. The list of books for further reading at the end of the manuscript is a good one. I find Richard Webster to be a far better resource.

The Grow Devils PrincipleThe two other reviews seem to be helping to hype this work. Read the description again. It says you will be able to whittle down choices from a list of potentially 100 items. Do you think it's that easy? It takes memory work to accomplish and if you hate anagrams, you're really going to dislike this.

I like the principle. Use it myself for an effect to garner an important piece of info that will help me generate much more content in the work I do. So, for me, I find it useful. You could go all lame mentalist and pull a long list out of your pocket or utilize your phone and have your audience wondering why you need a crib sheet to mind read....or how ever you are using this material.

I gave it three stars for the fact that half the people who buy this will hate it, find it a waste of money, and not use it due to ignorance and laziness. Others that can see its potential, most likely will not use any of the routines and just start applying it to their own ideas.

It says the work is already done for you to use it right away.....and it is. So pull out that crib sheet Mr. Super mind reader.

Lessons in Scripture

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Dr David Williamson (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Friday 27 September, 2024)

Lessons in ScriptureIf you have been doing gospel magic for very long, you will have noticed that the majority of effects focus on only a handful of narrative presentations. The value in this work is not so much in its repetition, but in its presentation of the effects that are most common in this field. Be confident that even if you are a seasoned professional in this field of magic that you will find at least a few golden nuggets of value that will help you not only entertain your audiences, but that will assist you in pointing those in attendance to the truths of Scripture. At a minimum, after reading Rev. Bodley’s approach and nuances you should at least be provided with food for thought in creating new routines and subtleties in handling, and at this price … you can’t go wrong.
