Eyes of the Gods
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Ken Norris (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Friday 04 July, 2025)
This is a clever, self-working mathematical card trick which is well disguised. The magician's brain must be working on all cylinders to assure it all comes out and when it does, it should fool even the smartest of them. I would rate this as a hobbyist trick as the counting of cards to the table is a bit tedious for a pro and is not for a paying audience, IMO. But at very least, a lot of fun for a willing audience.
The L. W. Mental and Spirit Mysteries

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Thursday 03 July, 2025)
I love these guys! I love this period of writing and inventing. I can't get the full T. Page Wright manuscript at the moment but this way I can get some of his thought process into my daily study.

Simple and usable with everyday gimmick. Video is a little repetitive at the start, but it may be a language confidence thing.
Lucky Card: a hands-off ACAAN miracle
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Ricardo Carrillo (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Tuesday 01 July, 2025)
I have all of TG's magic apps and use at least one of them on my impromptu magic presentation since I am a magician by hobby. I really like how easy-to-do each effect is and the powerful impact they have on the spectator. I definitely want TG to keep releasing effects like these!

Great Information.
The Luck of the Tarot
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by mark glass (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Friday 27 June, 2025)
I think this is a wonderful routine and it, perhaps not intended, but really got my brain wheels turning on how to do the thing other ways ( not that TCs way is in any way lacking, it's great, but it did just get the wheels turning ). Just after purchasing I got an email this morning from a dealer with a new item that normally I wouldn't consider buying ( no good routine given - need to come up with your own ) but it seems to be a good possibility of another ending for TCs The Luck of the Tarot.
IMO, this isn't a "magic trick" nor is it a shut eye concept but a wonderful ending to a real reading with the Tarot. If you want a magic trick, pass this by. If you're a true shut eye reader, pass this by. If you do "readings as entertainment" or do readings for real and desire to have a "kicker in your pocket" this is for you.

Slydini One Coin Routine
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Alex Oeming (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 25 June, 2025)
I am a hobbyist magician. I saw a friend doing some of the routine at a magic gathering with friends and it was so much fun to watch I just had to learn it. So, I found an internet search led me here. The teaching is great. It's comprehensive and easily reviewable. I love how it's taught in beats that make it like learning a piece of music. There's history brought into the instruction as well and that's an appreciated. It adds a human touch to a time I was not privy to, due to my age. While I gravitate more to walk-around magic, this gives me something work with when I'm at a table, so I'd use it more informally. That being said, it's powerful and leaves an impression. You can look up Slydini doing this and see the reactions he gets. It's incredible stuff.
I don't know that I can think of anything negative. It's taught, as explained by Mr. Ferri, as he was taught by Slydini himself. You can't get much closer to the source. If you have any interest in magic with coins, it's worth learning and this video is fantastic.

The L. W. Mindreading Mysteries
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Gregg Webb (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 22 June, 2025)
When I first heard of these gentlemen, I was only interested in 4-Ace Tricks. That was a long time ago. Since then, I have developed a respect for mentalism and I would say that I like the works by these men and their minds, and an interest in the writings of this period in mystical entertainment. I am enjoying this book again and again. I admit to being retired, but I read and also write about things magical, and if I had to do over, I'd use this material for sure.
Mostly Perfect / Perfectly Possible: Combo
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Hans-Christian Solka (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Thursday 19 June, 2025)
EXCELLENT!
In Mostly Perfect, M. Daniels teaches sequential magic squares. Ideally, you can construct a so-called ‘most-perfect,’ ‘diabolic,’ ‘panmagic,’ ‘super-magic’ or ’pandiagonal’ magic square. The book is the MOST IMPORTANT magic book on 4x4 magic squares until 2015.
The Perfectly Possible method directly exploits a unique property of the ‘most perfect’ squares. Daniels’ methods are suitable for all even and odd sums.
BTW: The well-known 4x4 ‘most-perfect’ magic square used by Harry Lorayne dates back in magic to Robert A. Nelson in 1929 and was popularized by Theodore Annemann in “Book Without A Name” in 1931. Lorayne had - as was usually the case - forgotten to cite the sources.

This is absolutely amazing and very fun to perform. The prediction is made before the spectator enters their numbers at random on their own device. Another great effect from Tommaso Guglielmi. Highly Recommended!!

For EXCHANGE POKER alone, this is a must buy. I don't perform gambling routines much but this is certainly one I'll add to my repertoire.
Bammo Dead Rebel Angels and Demons Dossier
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Rick Kirkes (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 04 June, 2025)
Bob Farmer sort of turned me onto the Angels & Demons deck which I have been doing John Bannon's Mundo which is a short version of OOTW with lots of success. I've just read though this e-book today and I must say that I am totally impressed. I originally bought the e-book because of Psychometrick.
But there are other effects in this e-book that caught my eye too, like Spectator Cuts to The Angels and the follow up to that Angels Up.
Let me say, I haven't yet performed any of the effects in the e-book, but I plan to.
You get a lot here for your money.

Spirit Glass
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Joshua Johnson (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 26 May, 2025)
Overpriced for something which is in multiple sources, Magic and Showmanship, Dark Matter Secrets, and the Dark Waltz. Don't get me wrong. It's a good method, but I bought it at the price I was hoping it might offer some extra tips or routines, but it is the briefest of the many sources.
The Secret Edge For Children's Entertainers
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Jason Rippetoe (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 24 May, 2025)
Does his one-step advice give children's entertainers an edge? I don't know that I would put it that way and it's such a no-brainer that to call it a "secret" seems a bit much. If you're working with children and you don't already know this secret, you're in a bad place. It certainly isn't something I would charge people for. In fact, treating this as a means to increase sales seems incredibly cynical. This is one "secret" I would like every one of my competitors to know, take seriously, and shout from the rooftops.
Get Paid Doing Free School Shows
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Jason Rippetoe (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 24 May, 2025)
In this age of tighter school budgets, many schools choose not to budget (or budget less) for school assemblies. The author presents a creative method to finance your assembly program without getting grants, selling ads, or making the school cough up the dough. In a big school, there's the potential of making more than the average school show fee. It could be a back-door method to get a booking when the school says they don't have the budget. Also, there's some room to update the process and use online payment processes to eliminate cash and checks.
I haven't yet committed to following this method, but it seems very viable, and I'm not disappointed that I purchased the ebook.
Rebirth Revelation
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Karen King (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Friday 23 May, 2025)
There are very few effects around on the theme of rebirth. And this is one of the best I came across. I always start this routine by asking how many of the audience members believe in the concept of rebirth. Always several hands go up. I specifically tell them that this experiment is for them. The final impact on them after the routine is so very satisfying. This routine is now part of my bizarre set.

The Step Jumble Force is diabolical. It is in plain sight but impossible to find. The basic principle is very clever. The routines here are great. And I'm also enjoying creating my own routines using this force.
Scripted #4: The 21 Card Trick
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Jason Connolly (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 19 May, 2025)
This is great. Mr. Brodahl has taken one of the most boring tricks in magic and made it entertaining and deceptive by adding some smoke to the procedure and a lot of cleverness to the presentation.
Will I perform it? Probably not, but it's well worth a read as a model of how good scripting can elevate even the lowliest trick, and for this price, it can't be beaten.
Expert Card Technique
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Gregg Webb (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 18 May, 2025)
Truly one of the great books on cards. It has stood the test of time and there have been so many other texts published in the meantime while this one is still selling. The price for it as an eBook is amazing, and within the budget of students everywhere. I am a professional and a hobbyist at the same time, lucky for me. It is about half a century since I read it the first time, and many years since I read it the last time. We get caught up with keeping up with what's new, and yet now that I'm re-reading it again, it seems new again and I'm re-learning things I forgot I knew.
