PsyLock by Richard Paddon

The combination padlock has had a fair workout in magic and mentalism, but never quite like this!

"It fooled me.......I have to tell you I was fooled and some of the effects, like the chair effect, I think are great..." - David Regal - Reel Magic Magazine review

PsyLock uses a 10 digit combination padlock which utilizes a set of unusual and clever principles and ruses to unlock a diverse range of routines.

The performer never touches the lock before, during or after the routine in any of the routines. That's right - the performer NEVER has to touch the lock at all!

The Mystery Card To Pocket by Richard Paddon

An unseen, but freely selected card is placed into your empty jacket pocket.

"This is a mystery card. It's a mystery card because its identity will remain unknown. We'll return to it later."

A second spectator freely selects and signs another card. This one is lost into the deck. The performer then reads this spectator's mind correctly divining both the card and the writing on the card. The first spectator then reaches into your jacket pocket to remove the mystery card. It is the signed card! The pocket is otherwise empty.

This is Richard's favourite impromptu card routine. He has performed...

Hollywood Princess by Richard Paddon

Looks like real mind reading. And really "packs flat and plays big".

A large pile of movie poster postcards are mixed and distributed to three spectators. Each spectator looks through their movies, selects one (a free choice) and places the remaining postcards away, out of sight. The performer describes the images, scenes and names of each selected movie.

It's that direct!

Remember:

  • No pre-show.
  • No electronics.
  • No stooges.
  • No dual reality.
  • No hidden or secret assistants.
  • No calculations.
  • No duplicates - Every movie postcard is different.
  • The spectators write nothing.
  • The...

Digital Video Deck by Richard Paddon

A unique concept from a wonderful idea by Dale A. Hildebrandt (with permission).

The Digital Video Deck combines a hi-tech Card At Any Number with a series of prediction, coincidence and mindreading effects culminating in a unique give-away or promotional tool.

During your performance, a personalized prediction effect culminates in the spectator revealing their card at their chosen number using their own DVD player, Computer or TV.

And what's more...this effect, whilst using a hi-tech aid, in no way uses technology. Clearly it is impossible to tamper with anything.

The package includes:
