RED HOT MAMA'S LIPS IS A VERY POWERFUL CARD EFFECT. THIS ONE HAS IT ALL, A SELECTED CARD'S BACK CHANGES COLOR, TRANSPOSITION OF TWO CHOSEN CARDS, AND A GREAT KICKER ENDING THAT LEAVES YOUR SPECTATOR WITH A GREAT SOUVENIR.

What do you get when you mix Red Hot Mama with a killer presentational twist and a powerful finish! A great card routine, that's what--Scott's most performed card routine! "The Guinn Touch" applied to this Al Leech classic means an audience-pleasing presentation, motivated moves, and ease of performance with a complete script. Everything you need to put this signature piece...

AN AMAZING TRANSPOSITION OF TWO SIGNED SELECTED CARDS WITH AN INSTANT REPEAT!

Each of two audience members (our good friends Bob and Sue) select a card and sign its face. Sue's card (the 3S) is placed on top of the deck, while Bob's (the KD) is placed in your pants pocket. You put Sue's card, reversed, in the center of the deck. After a magical gesture, the deck is spread, and... the reversed card at the center is Bob's signed KD! Remarking that you thought you put Bob's card in your pocket, you reach into said pocket and remove the card--only to find that it is Sue's signed 3S!

Sue's...

#2 in the Sit-Down Coin Magic series, this is one of Scott's most acclaimed coin routines. You introduce a saltshaker filled with "coin concentrate" (silver glitter). You sprinkle a little of the dust onto your obviously empty hand, squeeze, and a half dollar appears in your hand! You decide to demonstrate the special properties of this coin, making it vanish, reappear, penetrate the table, turn into a foreign copper coin and back to a half dollar! Finally, with a squeeze and a crumble, the coin dematerializes back into the shaker, and your hands are absolutely empty!

This routine is visually...

#3 in the "Sit-Down Coin Magic" Series, this double coin box routine is an absolute stunner!

Two small brass boxes with lids are shown empty. The lids are replaced. After a magic gesture, one of the boxes has 4 silver coins in it! These are dumped into a spectator's hand (they can be examined) and then replaced in the box. The lids are placed on both boxes. Suddenly, the box with the coins is empty, and the other box now holds the coins! Just as suddenly, the coins jump back to the first box!

Next, the 4 silver coins instantly and miraculously change to 4 copper coins! These copper coins...

Scott's finger ring and string routine flows along in a harmonious blend of magic! This is strong, commercial, practical magic with ordinary items. Pure sleight of hand accomplishes the powerful magic, but it's nothing difficult to learn. This is a routine you'll be proud to include in your performing arsenal. A great routine for all skill levels and virtually any close-up performing situation!

A string is held at both ends and the loop is dipped into a purse clasp (coin purse with no bag). When the string is lifted out of the clasp, a ring is dangling from the loop! The ring penetrates off...

This is an exceptionally hard-hitting and very magical routine. Scott developed it with the Table-Hopping environment in mind, but it isn't limited to table-hopping venues--Scott also performs this with full sized cups in a variety of different performing conditions! If you work in the real world…this is definitely worthy of your consideration.

The Cups and Balls is probably the most-performed effect in magic's long history. However, it is rarely seen by the public these days, especially by table-hopping close up performers. Table-hopping magicians aren't willing (or able) to dedicate so...

You begin by explaining and demonstrating an old stunt known as "coin snatching." You explain that this is actually a very competitive pursuit, complete with its own competitions and world records. You relate an experience you had at one such competition, demonstrating the action as you proceed:

A cocky New Yorker claimed he had a new, much more challenging technique for coin snatching, going horizontally rather than vertically. After successfully demonstrating his technique with a stack of quarters, you remark that he then exclaimed, "I'm from Brooklyn, and that's how we do it!"

One bystander,...

4 cards turn face up one at a time, then all at once, and then magically... each of the four cards has a different back!

This is a powerful, professional routine that builds to a mind-blowing climax. Written in Scott's crystal clear, conversational style, this is a 12-page manuscript with 15 photos.

Level: Easy

"Because I live and perform in the same market as Scott, I have a rule not to perform his material. With 'Treasure Valley Twist', I break that rule! It's that good!" - Darrin Cook (Raymonde Crow)

1st edition 2009; 12 pages.

This is the first installment of Scott's "Sit-Down Coin Magic" Series. Combining two classic plots of coin magic ("Twilight" and "Coins through Table"), Scott has come up with a powerhouse of coin magic that Guy Camirand called "A beautiful routine!"

A large silver dollar is dumped from an elegant box, and the box set aside. A mirror is held up to the coin. The coin's reflection is pulled out of the mirror--there are now two coins! The two coins are placed in front of the mirror. One at a time, each coin and its reflection are pulled away, leaving you with FOUR coins! The coins magically...

This is the 10-card poker deal that is getting raves from the magic community. This routine is lots of fun, has a strong presentation, and it takes the "sting" out of things for the audience participant.

Scott's full professional script is included. This is a very funny, entertaining routine that will endear you to the audience and make the participant look like a hero. EVERYBODY wins! 15 pages of Scott's now famous crystal clear instruction, complete with the thinking behind the routine.

Yep, this is definitely a real winner!

Level: EASY!

Dear Scott, Thank you very much for your...

Scott F. Guinn tips every detail of Pro-Mega, his blockbuster multiple location routine for parlor, platform and stage!

Seven audience participants each freely select and sign a card. The cards are lost in the deck and then each card is found in a progressively more impossible way. The amazement and amusement grow to an unbelievable crescendo with the revelation of the last card, which has been in full view in an impossible location since before the show began!

Scott is a seasoned pro who has used this pet routine in his professional performing repertoire for decades, often as the closer...

From the professional repertoire of popular author Scott F. Guinn comes a powerhouse six-phase feature card routine, Vicissitudes. The meaning of "Vicissitudes" is "a succession of alternating changes," and that is exactly what happens in this magical routine. Two cards repeatedly change places in very visual and shocking ways:

1. The JH changes into the 10C in midair and then the JH suddenly and visually appears on top of the deck.

2.The 10C is at the face of the deck, the JH inserted, reversed, in the middle. Suddenly the JH is at the face and the 10C reversed in the middle.

3.Both...

Some of the biggest names in magic and mentalism have raved about Assertive Positive Negative, Scott F. Guinn's improvement of Max Maven's "Positive Negative." Luminaries such as Ron Bauer, Richard Busch, Dr. Bill Cushman, and Richard Webster have been effusive in their praise. It would have been perfectly understandable, then, for Scott to have rested on his laurels and let the routine alone.

But Scott felt there was room for improvement, particularly on one part of the handling. For months and months, he tinkered and fiddled with the routine. And finally, much as with the epiphany that birthed APN, a very simple and elegant solution occurred...

To prove that we really do understand the value of YOUR dollar, we're dropping the price of this routine to just $10!

Longtime professional magician and popular magic author Scott F. Guinn is back, and he's hit this one out of the park! The Value of a Dollar (VOD) is a professional and commercial multi-phased routine with a borrowed bill.

As you talk about the changing value of the dollar over the decades, the bill changes repeatedly, finally turning into a coin, which then turns into a lime in midair! The lime is given to the person who loaned you the bill. He cuts it open and inside...

#4 in Scott F. Guinn's "Sit-Down Coin Magic" Series, Three-Piece Combo is a coin routine that really packs a punch. This professionally routined, multi-phase coin routine flows from one sequence to the next in a magical ride building up to a knockout climax!

EFFECT:

From a coin purse clasp (no bag attached) three silver coins are visually extracted. One of these changes into a Chinese coin with a hole in the center.

The two silver coins travel, one at a time, to magically join the Chinese coin in your closed fist. Next, all three coins are seen and heard to be placed in your closed...

None of the Above is Scott F. Guinn's anytime, anywhere coin routine that uses just one coin and nothing else; no extra coins, no tricky coins, no gimmicks, no secret utility devices. (The only utility device required, if you want to call it that, is that you must be wearing a shirt or jacket with a left breast pocket.) It includes the complete, commercial con man/hustler-themed storyline that will hook your audiences and reel them in. Like all of Scott's books, the writing is thorough, understandable, and conversational, accompanied by clear and helpful photographs.

From the introduction: ...

A comedy card on seat routine with a twist.

This one is an absolute killer! Scott's Comedy Card on Seat routine uses a different method from the well-known Chuck Fayne or gaffed chair routines. The audience participant joins you up front and sits in an ordinary chair. Then, while you look away, he selects and signs a card, replaces it anywhere he wants in the deck and thoroughly shuffles the deck before returning it to you. After some fun, and very amusing byplay, the card vanishes, followed by a kick-in-the-head moment that NOBODY sees coming, before it is revealed that he is SITTING on...

A feature show-stopping mentalism routine

NOTE: While the description below describes the effect using a seven-digit phone number, it can also be done with ten or more digits to cover area codes and country codes if required. Scott explains this in the ebook, as well some other options.

You remove a deck of cards from its case. To preclude the possibility of any sleight-of-hand, you put it in a clear glass tumbler, holding it up for all to see, the face of the pack toward the audience. You begin moving cards, one at a time, from the back of the deck to the face, and seven audience members...

Celebrity Poker is Scott's exciting take on Alan Shaxon's "Confabulation" effect. This is a mentalism routine for parlor, platform and stage with lots of audience participation, comedy, and an extremely engaging presentation. The routine is very funny, super strong, super easy to do, and with one exception, the required props cost next to nothing at your local dollar store or Walmart. The good news: That one exception is readily available from magic dealers and it isn't very expensive--and you don't have to own it to do the routine! Scott gives complete instructions on how to do the routine...

The Best Nest - Scott's Borrowed Ring in Nest of Boxes routine is an absolute treasure! One of his pet performance pieces, you can use the routine with virtually any existing marketed set, or make up the DIY set as Scott explains, and save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. Scott has honed this routine over decades of performances, and it shows. Every little detail and nuance is given, along with subtleties and convincers that you won't find anywhere else, including a really easy and really sneaky way of making the audience believe the nest of boxes has been freely and completely displayed...

Scott F. Guinn is back with another commercial card routine!

You explain that you have a sure-fire way to decide which person in a group enjoying a few drinks should be the designated driver. After a deck of cards is thoroughly shuffled, one person selects a card. Three different people look at this card and commit it to memory. When you ask them all to tell everyone which card they saw, you get three different answers--each person names a different card! The card is turned over and shown that it doesn't match any of the cards named. In fact, none of the named cards are even in the deck! ...

Impromptu mentalism with nothing but a pen and your business card! Based on an effect by the remarkable Max Maven.

You write something on the back of your business card and set it aside. You give your participant three imaginary coins. She chooses one and then flips it into the air. She tells you whether it landed heads or tails up. You turn over your card, revealing that you wrote which coin she would choose and its orientation.

This ebook has been rewritten in much more depth,...
