The Inversion TheoryDavid MisnerThis ebook is all about reversing a card and includes five original ideas.
- Minority: A chosen card is pushed flush in the center of the deck, and instantly reverses itself.
- Flip Side: The deck is spread to show that it is completely normal, and then almost instantly a card reverses itself, the previously chosen card.
- Don't Blink: A ridiculously visual reversal. An out-jogged card reverses itself with a flick of the wrist.
- Wrong Turn: A card is lost, and the wrong one is found. The magician states that something must have been preventing the card from coming to the top, and when the deck...

The Legendary Kabbala (1971-1981)Jon Racherbaumer... was becoming better. Tricks were becoming more interesting, finessed, and sophisticated. Many magicians became knowledgeable and expert: Fast-Company Men, too hip for each other, too hip for most rooms, and too hip for their own good. Magic for magicians took hold and had to be magician-proof. Card problems were subjected to new and stringent conditions and restrictions and strategies of misdirection-within-misdirection were the order of the day. This was the world Kabbala wanted to explore, exploit, and harvest.
The Kabbala (1971-81) was part of the information pipe-line, a supplement,... | ★★★★★ $49.50 to wish listPDF_facsimile |

"Good... the coins are the gateway to my magic." Those were his exact words to me. To perform the Coins as Slydini intended the student must understand how to control the thoughts of his impromptu assistant and how to exploit that provocation to his purpose. The Coins teaches this. This manuscript also covers The Knotted Silks, The Torn and Restored Cigarette, The Helicopter Card, The Paper Balls Over The Head, and The One Coin Routine.
