Confidential Mental SecretsGene Marvin... never be as "strong" a trick as magic. In other words, what you do must be believable. You can stretch "their" imagination only so far, for they must be able to accept the fact that you "have the power." If you did a magic trick in which 5 different cards were laid on the table face down, a 6th card was sealed in an envelope which matches one of the 5 on the table, then a selection made by the spectator, and when that card was turned face-up, the card in the envelope removed, and that card matched, this would not be a very strong trick. But, let a mentalist do this, and he gets more "oohs"... | $20 to wish listPDF |
First Call to CardsStewart James
Here are twelve remarkable card tricks invented and performed by Stewart James in Canada, England and the U.S. So many magicians asked to learn these tricks that Stewart decided to reveal them for the first time in this book. Most all of his card magic is done without difficult sleights or trick cards, using subtlety instead.
CONTENTS:
MIKE AND IKE: — The famous look-alike detectives capture a gang of criminals and identify their leader. A spectator (witness) doesn't tell how the sleuths are disguised until the case is closed.

Cross the ACAANBiagio Fasano
This impromptu semi-automatic effect can be immediately performed in any situation in which a simple deck of cards is available. After having a spectator shuffle the deck, the magician will have her choose a number and a card in the most casual manner possible (by randomly raising two small packs of cards), have the viewer shuffle again and cut the deck several times, reassemble it, and propose to find her chosen card. But, after practically proving its impossibility by relying solely on chance or luck, he will remember that the spectator also secretly keeps a number in her mind and challenge... | $9.90 to wish listPDF |

Pendulum IntuitionRed Nist
A card is chosen and lost in the deck. The deck is spread on the table. A pendulum is passed over the deck and begins to move over a group of cards. These small numbers of cards are then spread separately on the table. The pendulum is passed again over the cards and the pendulum begins to move clearly over one card. The card is revealed: it's the card of the spectator. This is a good magic trick right?
One day, I dreamed that this trick was done totally by the spectator, thanks to his intuition. I never touch the deck. I never touch the spectator. I never touch the pendulum. I never touch... | $15 to wish listPDF |

Card Magic: a Svengali Deck RoutineDr. John D. BainThe Svengali deck of cards is a specially prepared deck of playing cards (Poker-sized or Bridge-sized) that can be used by magicians or entertainers to perform various tricks. The deck and the tricks performed with it are assisted by its unique design and require almost no skill. It is based on a very old principle of entertaining deception and confidence game manipulation.
The cards of the deck can be flipped or riffled to create the illusion that the deck is completely ordinary. It can even be apparently mixed and shuffled. The trick involves a spectator choosing a card from the deck and... | $2.99 to wish listPDF |

Six AppealMark Leveridge
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.

Bammo Mind ControlBob Farmer
This is a routine for those who want to elicit screams from their female spectators at the final revelation. They are thinking of a card, the only card in the deck with a secret message, a message so profound and emotionally connecting that a scream of disbelief is the only reaction possible. At least that's what road tests of the routine have shown.
Also included, is a bonus routine with magic eyeglasses, invisible writing made visible, and a kicker ending that will baffle all.
