Leave Those Jacks Alone! - This fun-filled adventure will drag your spectators into your world. You have the spectator freely select four cards and then she signs a fifth card. Remarkably, the signed card visibly transposes from the packet, into the deck. This amazing transport is easy to do and the four selections are shown to be the four Jacks ... which you just told her not to pick. You're gonna love this one!

Strike Three? - The pressure is on the spectator...

'Mexican Joe' refers to a specially crimped card or deck, one that is crimped at diagonal corners in opposite directions.

The first person to publish anything on this crimp was Victor Farelli when he published Farelli's Card Magic. Several years passed before another mention is made. This time it was explained in Dai Vernon's More Inner Secrets of Card Magic. Racherbaumer collects a number of routines and ideas with this crimp. In so doing he weaves his way through some interesting nooks and crannies of card magic history.

"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

These are 8 hours of personal video instructions from Roberto Giobbi. This is almost like taking private lessons from Roberto. It is a one-to-one coaching from one of the world's premier card experts, who is considered by his peers to be one of today's finest and most influential teachers of magic.

"I was extremely impressed. Giobbi is an excellent teacher, he communicates his ideas clearly, and he's passionate about card magic - this is one of the best card magic DVD sets I've come across in recent memory. It contains a tremendous amount of solid material for beginning and even seasoned...

FRANCIS TABARY: "Rope Routine"
A beautiful routine, taken from his live act presented at the Symposium. Tabary amazes you with his original style, true magic from someone who is worldwide considered the most famous ropes magician of all time. In this routine explained in detail during his lecture at the symposium, Tabary gives you new moves and magic effects never been published before. Standing ovation at the end of his live performance at the symposium.

DARYL: "The Manly Matrix"
This is a wonderful version of the classic matrix effect - four coins and four cards. Each coin starts under one card in 4 different places. Eventually, all coins assemble magically one by one under one card. The description includes a beautiful display move that allows you to show a card in one hand while you hide a coin in the same. Very beautiful routine for stand-up workers. Intermediate level.

Exhale is a utility technique / force that enables the performer to force a card on a spectator as the spectator shuffles and cuts the deck. It is a combination of ideas and techniques from the literature that have been streamlined and added to. Included are several routines I have used the technique with. The exhale technique is essentially self-working and seems impossible to the spectator as the spectator does all the work.

Quantum Juice To Silk - This is total eye-candy.

Quantum Greatness - This has the "flavor" of a Dani DaOrtiz effect. The performer brags of his gambling skills - yet the spectator beats the performer... and badly - Hilarious!

Quantum Marked Card - A great display of skill. But none needed. Has the "flavor" of Red-Hot Mama.

Quantum Mentalism - This will drop jaws - guaranteed - so very easy to do with something you already own.

Quantum Quickie, Quickie - Here is one of those fast moving effects that will have everyone laughing out...

Culling (cards) is not a particularly fashionable technique. During the past forty years, card magicians started to pay closer attention to various ideas and techniques, especially those having broad application. In this treatise three types of culls will be examined:

1. Desired cards are secretly culled during the logical and natural course of an effect.
2. Free selections are controlled (culled) to desired positions during a visible procedure that looks fair and above board.
3. A cull done during another fair procedure that results in separating the four suits in Ace to King order.

This is a marvelous compilation of mostly easy and sleightless, or as it is usually called self-working, card tricks. Some effects do require moves such as palming, and a good false shuffle and false cut will go a long way to make many otherwise sleightless effects much stronger. But for the most part no sleights are necessary to perform the vast majority of effects taught.

From the Introduction:

This also includes Future Test 2020 and Future Test 2022. This routine can also be performed in a virtual show over Skype, Zoom, Instragram Live, Facebook Live or even a basic one to one video call.

Future Test is a 'packs small plays big' kind of effect. Actually packs very small in your wallet and plays very big to a full room or in a virtual show or even over a video call. This effect is done on the back of your business card which you can later leave with the participant as a souvenir or send over to the participant's phone as a virtual image as a 'digital souvenir'.

The performer...

I think of this routine as the little brother of “Void” but it lacks none of its power. The astute reader will see the multiple possibilities of the linguistic technique at play here in other routines, not just cards. Also included in this...
