Bruce Carlley is going to show you a number of games that the magician or gambler plays against a spectator one on one. The spectator gets a free choice of the objects that are used in the gambling game. (Some games use cards, dice, pieces of paper, spinners, etc.) For example, say the spectator has a choice of four dice. Spectator picks one die and the magician picks one die. Each rolls their die, and the high number wins. Whoever wins a best of 12 game match wins the game. Unfortunately for the spectator, the magician will almost always win the match. The probability will ALWAYS be in the...

Showing that your deck is mixed and ordinary, you also show a card with a prediction written on the back. The spectator chooses a card completely at random, by rolling 1, 2 or 3 dice. You deal to their number (no force). When you reveal the prediction you have not only predicted their chosen card, but also what number they rolled on the dice.

You will need a blue and a red deck (or any two decks with matching faces but different backs) to make this yourself. No arts and craft, just a sharpie and a bit of writing. The dice are optional. You can use real dice, you can use a dice app on your...

The name Chris Congreave is synonymous with commercial close-up routines and ideas. As a full-time close up pro for over a decade, he has learned how to hone his magic in order to make it totally practical for performance to lay people in the real world, and this new ebook brings together a collection...

From the introduction:

Charles Goren was right. As early as the mid-1950s he was urging bridge players to avoid getting caught up in all the trendy new bidding systems with their myriad confounding conventions. Eventually, even the great Goren was dragged screaming and kicking into the new age...

"I've been doing magic 40 years, and this may be one of my five favorite tricks. Excellent thinking. Hard to top." - Clyde Hayre, US.

A spectator is asked to throw three fair dice (this is an absolute fair throw or even just a mental throw - no force here). From the number fairly thrown you construct a perfect magic square. For a kicker, the cards are put together and the face of a King of Hearts appears.

There is no palming of cards or exchanging of decks or anything like it. You work with 16 cards and 16 cards only without any sleight-of-hand.

You get 16 specially printed cards...

Alles, was Sie schon immer über das Dice Stacking (Auftürmen von Würfeln mit Hilfe eines Bechers) wissen wollten: Material, Grund­tech­nik, verschie­dene Stacks, das Abbauen der aufgetürm­ten Würfel, das Stehlen, La­dun­gen, das Verschwindenlassen der Würfel – nichts wird ausgelassen. Zudem wird eine äusserst unter­haltende Dice-Stacking-Routine erklärt.

Eine Variante von Mark Leveridges Wild Dice, die eine völlig freie Handhabung der Streichholz-schachteln erlaubt.

Der Vorführende zeigt eine Version des Hütchenspiels mit drei Zündholzschachteln und einem weissen Würfel. Der Würfel wird unter eine Schachtel gegeben und die Schachteln werden durcheinandergebracht. Entgegen der Erwartung der Zuschauer befindet sich der Würfel immer unter der mittleren Schachtel.

Wird das Spiel senkrecht gespielt, d. h. die Schachteln aufeinandergelegt, befindet sich der Würfel immer auf, statt unter der mittleren Schachtel.

Wenn der Vorführende den Würfel...

Invented "Poker Player’s Nightmare" (by 1964). Edited The Senator's Pink Sheet 1957-59 as house organ. Columnist for New Tops since 1962. Moved to Hollywood by 1970. AMA Best Lecturer 1970, 1974. Taught Gary Michaels in 1974.

Wrote Entertaining with Magic (1952), How to Stack Dice [1974, 18pp], and The Best of Senator Crandall (1998, 108pp, ed. by Neil Foster, based on his New Tops column).

A revised and enlarged version of his previous work on this subject. Four dice are tossed on the table, a dice cup put over the first one, and with quick movements, the dice cup is slid over each of the others in turn. Then the cup is lifted, and all four dice are stacked one on top of the other. It is a beautiful close-up trick, easy to learn with the help of this ebook. Many illustrations and dotted here and there with typical Crandall funnies.

For anybody interested in Erdnase, this poker story compilation should be of interest because many poker stories are from Chicago. It was published in 1887 which means it likely overlaps somewhat with the active time of Erdnase. We are not saying you will find a story featuring Erdnase. But such poker...

In addition to be being one of the greatest manipulator of playing cards and perhaps the greatest card mechanic of all time, Scarne was a gambling expert, and sleight of hand artist. He wrote many books on cards, dice, gambling, he invented board games, set up gambling houses, taught G.I.'s how to avoid being cheated when gambling, and more.

Ferri wanted to write a book about some great Italian card games he loves to play in the style of Scarne on Cards.
