A virtually self-working ACAAN with plenty of audience involvement.

We all know whenever the audience tries to reverse engineer or recreate a trick and fail at it; they conclude with a common statement - He must have done something sneaky.

The Fortuitous ACAAN works to counter just that. It brings wonder out of the hands of the performer at the same time ensures that the control always rests with him. Here is how it goes:

A deck gets shuffled by 4 people while 3 other people decide on the Number, Value and Suit. The shuffled deck gets collected and the cards get dealt face-up and the...

Crossing the River Styxx: Some old magic methods get a makeover for the bizarre magick performer

Masquerade: Another presentation for another old trick; this time a nice story for an old card trick chestnut

Trumped: A trick written before he was president; back when he was a TV celebrity just looking for an apprentice; based on the show "The Apprentice"

An in-hand two card transposition with a surreal ending.

In the demo video I am simply using two cards, these can very well be selected (forced) cards, the explanation video has a couple of methods for it. In this download you'll also learn the Ambience Control. It is an essential move for the in-hand two card transposition.

"Bob Farmer is an interesting man, who creates interesting magic, and that's all one would need to know. With Mind Reader he has once again topped himself, as it might very well blow your mind!" - Roberto Giobbi

"Compared to fully gaffed decks that accomplish the same effect, Bob's work gets you to the selected card faster and leaves you with a deck that can be examined/used for other effects. Final Rating (1-10, 10 being best): I rate this a solid 8 on 10 and a strong recommendation, especially if you are a fan of Bob's other works." - Chris Aguilar

"I have never seen Bob Farmer perform. I have never...

Triptych: The spectator becomes the magician as you demonstrate sleight of hand, and "real" magic.

Keep Your Eye on the Joker: An overkill of a prediction that proves to be both funny and a powerful prediction.

Tricycle: A regular playing card visibly shrinks to a mini card as you pass your hand over it.

Doctor: An effect where you openly show a double-facer and show how magical of a card it really is.

Jacked Up: My go-to opener for a set of card effects that ends with a surprise nobody sees coming.

Brainwave: Card 8 A variation...

A magician holds a card and then changes it to a poker chip, paper money, a coin, or any small flat object. The method is based on a black-art principle and thus best suited for a stage or video performance where lighting and angles can be controlled well. Making the gimmick involves arts and crafts.

L’A.C.A.A.N., in Italia noto anche come “Carta al Numero” è un genere di effetto di Cartomagia e Mentalismo oramai divenuto un classico da quando è stato proposto dal grandissimo David Berglas che appunto per primo l’ha definito “Any card At Any Number”

Questa mia versione è molto semplice da performare ma, se ben presentata, potrà riscuotere grande stupore sia tra un pubblico di maghi che di profani, e può essere eseguita tanto in Close-Up quanto in Scena, su un palco teatrale….

Necessita semplicemente di un comune mazzo di 52 carte ed eventualmente di un paio di...

An envelope is shown and a single card removed from inside, but not shown. The envelope is otherwise empty. This card is a prediction and is replaced into the envelope and left in view. Six Jumbo cards are freely and openly displayed and various spectators are asked to choose any of the cards to eliminate until just one is left.

Despite the fact that there is genuinely no force or selection control, the prediction card exactly matches the randomly arrived at selection.

This direct effect is ideal for a close-up or parlor show.

Andrew Perry, or Drew as his friends call him, started out with cards and they are still his favourite genre. Therefore you will find mainly card tricks and sundry sleights in his new ebook. But there is also something with matchboxes and several interesting ideas and techniques. His one handed double lift is quite a treat.

Contemplations - A Series of Thoughts in Action

This is my second compilation of mental effects.

Contemplations is a 100+ page PDF ebook, which contains seven routines, five essays and a "bonus" ideas section. In this lengthy ebook, you will learn how to affect the mind-body connection, solve crimes with your mental abilities, teach people how to access their subconscious clock (with a wristwatch) and how to control people's minds with three words. The secrets of "real" mind reading with dollar bills and the ability to use your fingertips to sense the colors of playing cards, are revealed....

Stuart James Miraskill, first published in the September 1936 edition of The Jinx, has rightfully earned its place as a classic effect of mentalism. It is one of the most famous contributions to The Jinx and has certainly enjoyed its share of attention and variations.

This is the special "Double Issue" of MAJ featuring the magic from the French magic publication, Arcane. At the time of this special issue, Arcane was a bi-monthly magazine published in France by Jean Yves Prost and Michel Balandras. The magazine featured the who's-who in magic, and yet was mostly unknown to English-speaking magicians. This was the English language debut. Michael was allowed to hand-pick material from the 13 year old publication to include in the this double issue. See the incredible table of contents below. The issue even includes the Hofzinser Spread Control, which Michael uses frequently...

He currently performs his shows in theaters and festivals: "Control Mental", "Cartas Bajo Control" and "Magia a Dos Velas".

Four exquisite moves.

• Ambience Control + a two card transposition version
• Layer Change
• Topsy Force
• Turvy Control

Nightsky: Originally appearing in a Peter Turner book, Nightsky is a beautiful method for forcing a participant into constructing the scene/image you want them to, existing only in their mind. Taking up very little pocket space (one card slot in my wallet!), you will always be ready to go with a killer drawing duplication, or mind reading demonstration.

Cinders: Cinders is a highly visual burnt and restored card effect. A selected card is signed and then set alight, until a good portion is completely burnt away. With only...
