• MURDER BY SUGGESTION (Stewart James): Two cards are used to find a murder suspect.
• DOUBLY IMPOSSIBLE II (Michael Symes): Two selected ESP symbols are predicted by you.
• THREE INTO ONE (Jack Avis): A stunning routine with a series of revelations using just a regular deck of cards.
• AUSTROLOGY (Max Maven): An easy routine with cards that can be done also over the phone (you could use Tarot cards, Zodiac sign cards, etc.).
• BEAUTY AND BOTTLE (Someran): A fun routine to perform using cards with bottles and ...girls.
• ONE MORE LIE DETECTOR (Bob Neale):...

This clever mathematical principle allows you to find a thought item among any number of items, even though you do not know the initial order. You don't even need to know what they are. You see nothing. It is entirely hands off and improvised, and can even be done over the phone. It works with any number of flat objects (cards, index or business cards, coasters, etc.) or usual objects (key, coin, lighter, pen, etc.).

Two practical examples are provided, but it is so easy that you'll be able to improvise your own mentalism effects with borrowed objects or cards, or with your own business...

1) ATAVISTIC MATRIX - This is a very visually pleasing assembly that uses only two cover cards and four coins. The vanishes and reappearances of the coins become increasingly more amazing and more impossible for each coin, until all four are found at the "leader" position. Then, one by one, the coins move back to their previous positions in the matrix. This routine has a very nice flow...

Eight strong and wonderful mentalism routines.

"Key Caper" for example is a completely ungimmicked version of Annemann's "Seven Keys To Baldpate". The method is simple and easy, a piece of beautiful clever mentalism.

"Music in the Air" makes use of a cigarette lighter that plays a tune when lighted. I have never seen such lighters. They are probably out of fashion these days. However, the effect could very easily be modernized and used together with a ring-tone on a cellphone. The effect is the following. You show a packet of cards, each one has a different song title printed on it. Your...

This ebook is a beginner's guide to the famous Gilbreath Principle and its applications in card magic and mentalism. It includes two ESP-type routines:

Fingertip Sensation

The spectator shuffles the deck. The mentalist (who can be blindfold) then uses his fingertips to correctly identify the colour of cards.

Trinities Card Divination

The mentalist correctly divines attributes (colour, suit, value) of playing cards which the spectator has shuffled, dealt, and covered with his hands while the mentalist has turned away.

[Note: This ebook is a revised extract from Michael Daniels' ebook Trinities, plus an additional routine (Fingertip Sensation).

All the PDFs and videos from the CD that Devin Knight sold at his final East Coast Lecture tour. This is the bargain of the century as it would cost you $91.00 to buy these separately. Each PDF fully explains how to make up each trick. To buy these tricks ready made from a magic dealer would cost over $300.00.

QUADRUPLE PREDICTION - An amazing mental effect where the magician correctly predicts cards and colors despite odds of over 16,000 to 1 against it. A real stunner you can close a show with.

PSYCHIC MONEY SENSE - Designed for an intimate close up show, this experiment apparently shows...

The information contained in Cheating at Hold'em is not a magician's version of how to cheat at cards; it is an authentic, accurate and educational demonstration of the professional cheater's ploys exactly as employed in actual play.

Cheating at Hold'em explores and acquaints you with all known artifices employed by both professional and amateur card cheats:

I was lucky that I stumbled across this book very early on in my magic development. It had a huge impact on how I approached magic and how I think today about magic. The introductory chapter "The Vernon Touch" should be mandatory reading for every magician. I would go so far as to recommend re-reading it every year. Martin Breese wrote: "One of the most important books of magic ever written." Max Holden said: "I consider Vernon the greatest man with a pack of cards of the present day." Many consider Dai Vernon, the professor, as one who had probably the biggest impact on magic in recent times. ...

• Taking a Chance
  A spectator is offered a free choice of any card from a shuffled deck. The card is returned (unseen by you) and the deck shuffled and cut. Two cards are then dealt face down on to the table. The spec is told that this is a demonstration of the power of belief - that whichever card the spectator turns over will be their chosen card if they truly believe that it will be. In a loud clear voice the spec announces "this card is the [names their card]" and to their...

He became a recognized specialist of card magic and corresponded with such luminaries as Karl Fulves, Frank Garcia and Larry Jennings. Particularly noteworthy are his creations of small packet tricks and ESP tricks, many of which he either sold directly to retailers or licensed to manufacturers such as Emerson-West. He also had his own playing card printing press on which he would print special cards for his small packet tricks.

His publications are Symphonie in Rot und Blau, Card Nostalgie, Ein Card Mirakel, and Card Magic.

Dr. Joseph Banks Rhine was a botanist and the father of parapsychology. He established the parapsychology lab at Duke University and founded journals and organizations of parapsychology. He coined the term extra-sensory perception (ESP) and was the first to systematically and experimentally explore ESP using the Zener cards (designed by his colleague Karl Zener) and later psychokinesis. He recorded remarkable results in his ESP experiments that would suggest that ESP is real. However, the results could never be replicated by other academic institutes. The results he achieved were likely a combination of sensory leakage and outright fraud by...
