Glimpses into the mind of one of mentalism's pioneers.

"Arnold Furst taught me a thing or two back in '59 that you ought to know - about presence and timing, charity and goodwill, and keeping an audience on its toes. Oh yes, Magic, too."

Six effects and related stories about Arnold and his mentoring of young folks. Some methods are very old with a new approach. Others will be new to the reader. Something of value for every mentalist and entertainer.

JUST A MAGAZINE: An impromptu Mental Effect with a 'found' magazine, anywhere, anytime. Ideal for small groups, sales training or teaching...

This is a multi-phase impromptu routine using three borrowed quarters or other found objects - just an introductory "attention grabber" I have used for many decades.

One coin penetrates your hand, then all three. With full attention now, the coins migrate one at a time to the other hand - not a 3Fly as the coins are waist high and the hands are shown empty between phases (no gaff or extra).

Five simple bits of magic in growing intensity and under increasing scrutiny - fully surrounded. Not for beginners. Moderate coin skills, confidence, and live human interaction experience required....

Virtual Color Separation is an unusual and incredible effect of hands-off card magic, manageable even remotely, through a video chat, such as Zoom, Skype or Google Meet, but especially possible to perform by phone, with a spectator who has a common deck of 52 playing cards, that the magician will never have the opportunity to see but will still be able to control inexplicably, coming at the end to separate the red-suited cards from the black ones, without the spectator any wiser.

A lady chosen as a spectator, after having separated the red-suited cards from the black ones, will choose the...

EFFECTS

• Surprise Overture / Chiam Yu Sheng: Phil Goldstein's Overture is given a four-of-a-kind kicker ending.
• Tap Triple Wild Coin / Scott Baird: David Roth's Stand-up Wild Coin is combined with some bits of business with a pen, and at the end, the coins all change into a third denomination.
• Impromptu Speller / Kyle Leon: Kyle's handling of an impromptu spelling location. Kyle has added some nice touches to a simple spelling location, making the method harder to backtrack.
• Spelling to the Aces / Corey Harris: As the title says.
• Handy Speller / Andy Choy: A wonderful mnemonic method for determining...

It's a Number's Thing: A vintage mathematical-type card trick that you can do at impromptu gatherings.

5 effects in total, plus a gag with a rubber dove, great value!

Fortunately, the original idea has remained unchanged which is why today, it is still regarded as a classic of card magic. Beautifully simple, all it consists of is having a spectator mentally select one card from a group of five. The performer chooses one, then moments later reveals his choice has been correct. Simple, baffling, and in the right hands - memorable.

Princess On The Move is a brand new version...

Now, get this: There are no forces, no difficult sleights, no gaffs/gimmicks, and no setup. This routine can be performed impromptu with two borrowed decks, and they don't even have to be complete. You just need to carry or borrow a permanent marker, so Barry can sign his card.

[Note that this effect is also part of Not Your Ordinary Card Tricks where it was described in a somewhat less detailed fashion.

Divided into three chapters, Cards, Mentalism & General Magic, here is what is included:

Looking for commercial, practical, and unforgettable material you'll actually use? Four Real Workers delivers exactly that - four powerful, practical, audience-tested routines that belong in every magician's arsenal.

Inside you'll discover:

MYSTERIOUS BOILING WATER - a startling impromptu effect with nothing more than a glass, water, a handkerchief, and a rubber band. The water boils mysteriously.

ULTIMATE IMPROMPTU DIE DIVINATION - a clean, fooling way to divine any thought-of number on a die.

INTO THIN AIR - a brilliant, overlooked handling of Theodore DeLand's Phantom Card...

A card game between four players, in which the magician seems to have no control, unless he manages to use magic to enchant the cards of each of the players.

This is a completely improvised card trick that the illusionist performs by randomly choosing three spectators and giving them a common deck of cards (even borrowed) that they can freely shuffle, before dealing a hand of cards (five apiece) to each of them.

The magician will show that, after everyone has looked at their cards, they must choose and remember the highest value card, placing it on top of their deck, keeping all cards...

800 - THO-UGHT:
This revolutionary effect is a multi tool of mentalism that is worth ten times this ebook! The psychic entertainer presents a challenge of his powers during an impromptu setting. He offers up his cell phone as a sort of challenge prediction. It is sealed inside of a ziploc baggy and given to a spectator to keep it hands off and for safe keeping. A game of guess the numbers ensues. 3 spectators are selected for their ability to guess the three numbers that...

Fallout is an impromptu and devilishly clever, mentalist’s card to pocket. The spectator chooses a card from a deck that he has shuffled, and returns the card. The magician never sees the faces of any of the cards. Yet he still manages to read the spectator’s mind and work out the name of the card. The magician reaches down into his pocket and removes the selected card.

No Forces! The spectator does almost all the work! There's only one real 'move' in the entire routine...The card can even be signed!

You will receive a manuscript explaining all aspects of the trick in high detail...

The instructions also detail a version using three other objects, that you probably already have or can easily get, that is 100% self-contained and 100% impromptu, as you'll always have these objects with you.

Notes: Impossible was inspired by a very old mathematical principle, but it completely slays laypeople and magicians alike. The final kicker of having the words "LEFT POCKET" written on the folded Lotto ticket should be credited to Vincent...
