Why dice?

Barry wanted a reading system that could be performed in the hands, sitting down or just walking around, that didn't require a table or a spread. That could be done inside or outside, regardless of the weather conditions. Something that didn't get soiled, torn, blown away or that water would ruin. So cards were out. Runes and stones fit the bill, but to get different coloured ones and of the same size isn't easy. Barry needed a uniform size and nothing too esoteric. Dice fit this description and are easily available.

This Orson Welles ebook is a case study of an individual that was able to think "out of the box". Each small fact presented leads to the whole of a thinking process that will always provide an unexpected Third Option. The process that is presented here is the kernel of all deception theory. It's why...

e delle tabelle. Vorrei saperlo fare anch'io! Biagio ha incluso pure delle nuove idee che ha ricevuto. La mia preferita è la versione di Miller con le barrette di cioccolato! Idea geniale, mangio il cioccolato all'interno, ottenendo il materiale per un trucco fantastico. Questa è quel che si dice una situazione vantaggiosa per tutti!" - Dr. Hans-Christian Solka

Che cos'è "ESPerimento di Coppie a Distanza"?

Si tratta di un effetto inedito di Mentalismo, possibile anche a distanza (in una video chat, ad es. su Zoom, Skype o Google Meet, o anche solo al telefono), in cui l'illusionista riuscirà sempre ad indovinare il simbolo ESP riportato su di una...

che ho visto mi hanno assolutamente tratto in inganno. Bravo Biagio!" - Mariano Tomatis

"Ho visto i tuoi primi effetti A.C.A.A.N Contactless: complimenti. Mi piace molto "X-Men ACAAN", segue percorsi più tradizionali ma il trucco è comunque incomprensibile e quello con i dadi (Card at Dice's Number ACAAN) è TOP! Complimenti sinceri!" - Diego Allegri

Touchless C.A.D.N. ACAAN:
The spectator will throw 3 regular dice to choose a random number, and after he will have selected a card, shuffled and cut the deck, he will find his card at that exact position scored by the dice.

X-MEN ACAAN:
A shuffled deck is given to a viewer, who will cut the deck in three, count the cards in the last pile and look at...

Un mazzo di carte, anch'esso preso in prestito, viene dato ad uno spettatore perché lo mischi a piacer suo; poi gli viene chiesto di tagliarlo in tre mazzetti il più possibile uguali. Dopo che lo spettatore ha scelto una carta dal mazzo centrale e l'ha dispersa nel mazzo, l'illusionista dice che può trovare tale carta solo attraverso la "lettura del corpo", e a tal fine invita lo spettatore a rimanere impassibile mentre gira le carte una per una dalla cima del mazzo per mostrargliele. Nonostante ciò, ad un certo punto il mago confesserà che in realtà il successo dell'esperimento...

ACAAN is a genre of card magic and mentalism effect that has now become a classic since it was first proposed by the great David Berglas, who was the first to call it "Any card At Any Number".

This version of mine is very easy to perform but, if well presented, will be likely to arouse great amazement among both magicians and lay audiences, and can be performed as well in Close-Up as on Stage. It simply requires an ordinary deck of 52 cards and possibly a pair of very ordinary six-sided dice (but it can also be just imaginary dice for each of which the spectators will decide the score), and you will...

Gli effetti A.C.A.A.N., in Italia notI anche come “Carta al Numero”, sono un genere di effetti oramai considerati dei classici nella Cartomagia e nel Mentalismo, da quando ne propose una versione leggendaria David Berglas, che appunto per primo l’ha definito “Any card At Any Number”. ...

An incredible impromptu effect that uses all court cards in the deck to tell a story dense with mysteries.

This is a packet trick that tells the magical solution to a mystery. An impromptu card effect that, borrowing all the pictures from the deck, uses those to tell the story of a mysterious disappearance at a prestigious dance party reserved for these four aristocratic families.

The illusionist, after shuffling the twelve cards, gives them to cut and complete to a spectator who then, by rolling two dice (even if only imaginary ones) decides the precise moment when the mysterious vanishing...

It is an amazing automatic card magic effect that uses an ordinary deck of 54 cards (complete with the two jokers) and a pair of dice (which can also just be imagined by the spectators).

It tells the story of a pirate, the map of his island, and the magic dice he used to find his legendary treasure, in a crescendo of suspense, until the unexpected final surprise.

Completely self-working but with a surprising ending that will fool magicians too!

One of the most convincing remote viewing routines yet devised. May be performed any time at any place. It is an improvement of Bob's earlier "The Moleskine Divination". It does not need the Royal Heath's classic "Dye-ciphering Dice".

1st edition 2003; 26 pages.

Bob Cassidy teaches a three part routine where each part's method cancels the other to leave the audience without a clue to how this is possible. One of the methods used is an adaptation of a Royal Heath idea. Thus the name of this ebook. The methods are very general and can be adopted to many personalized and customized routines.

"I believe that The Heathen Devices are my greatest contribution to close-up mentalism." - Bob Cassidy

A spectator is handed several dice - anywhere from...

The routines involve magic words, runes, Tarot cards, antique keys, dice, poker chips, a Ouija board, a skull, the names of spectators, a Bingo card, coins and a casino deck - all things found around the house if you have a very strange house. There are predictions and crazy, out-of-whack coincidences defying odds of trillions to one.

For $15 you could also buy...

And finally, if you are looking for a real deal and real value for your money (for $35 you get 184 pages and almost 34,000 words), you need this book.
