The Volta System For The Feat Of Reading Sealed Messages ... says it all! Burling Hull’s personal verbosity shows up in this 16 page booklet of "the latest advances for the reading of sealed messages." In 1929, when this was released, it was the final word in sealed message reading. Today, it still ranks at the top of any list of secrets of this kind.
It covers: impromptu work with borrowed stationary; the first practical solution of what was once considered an impossible feat; the ability of this "Power" to always be available to the performer
"The idea rocks, Clean, Simple, Effective and most of all baffling." - Daniel Madison
A completely impromptu twist on the common tear and restore plot. A card is selected and signed from a regular or borrowed deck. The card is held at finger tips and a lighter is introduced. A portion of the card is burnt away, leaving half a card in the magician's hand.
With just a wave, or even a blow the signed card fully restores and is given out as a souvenir.
From Titanas come two diabolical methods to recreate the classic drawing duplication close-up using nothing more than your business cards and a pen. One of the explained methods is completely impromptu and both make a great addition to any working magician's arsenal.
... However, when the other three cards are turned face up once more, they prove to be all Kings!
You will learn variations by Dai Vernon, Nate Leipzig, Herbert Milton, Faucett Ross, Fred Lowe, and Luis Gavilondo.

There is also an amazing kicker ending--you'll have to buy the ebook to find out what it is! You finish by allowing her to keep the deck as a souvenir.
This is the kind of tightly constructed, strong magic you've come to expect from Scott. While not difficult, this routine is definitely not for the beginner, although it is certainly within the reach of the average magician willing to put in a modicum of practice. Please note that this is a "special" routine--a "feature" routine. It is not, nor...

"This routine represents sharp thinking and is SO off the beaten path it is a 'have to do it' effect. Were I to be teaching a formal course in magic - and I have - part of the fee from each student would go to purchasing this effect BECAUSE it is of course strong and fun, but even more important educationally is that some acting skills MUST be acquired to pull this one off. Obviously, we know that to be true of all magic, but, this effect...
The great Card Magic of Nick Trost. Nick was a master in creating amazing tricks and routines based on subtleties rather than difficult sleight of hand. Due to the amazing success of the three DVD set the Colombini's produced and the numerous requests, here’s another one, the fourth in the series. This is a humble tribute to a very creative magician. Most of these tricks are impromptu and they all use a regular deck of cards.
CONTENTS:
THE GATHERING OF THE COURT CARDS: A great nine-card assembly, with Jacks, Queens and Kings.
THE SLIPPERY ACES: The Aces are sandwiched between the two red Jacks....
... in this new ebook are eight baffling "B'wave"-style effects, three of which are brand new, and five of which are previously published favorites. All of the effects are hard-hitting, yet relatively easy to do and use common gaffs (blank facers, blank backers, etc.). Some are actually completely impromptu and use just cards taken from a regular deck.
Effects included:
Scatterbrain: "B'wave" meets "King Thing"! A selected ace appears in a packet of jokers, and the other three aces "scatter" to various locations (the card case, etc.).
B'rainteaser: An ultra-commercial printing effect...
From November 2006 through October 2007 Wesley James—one of the last of the under-ground
legends of magic—wrote, edited and released 12 issues of an e-zine containing some of the most
sophisticated close-up magic in the history of magic periodicals, all described in Wesley's
inimitably detailed style.
Originally released at $10 per issue, $100 to subscribers, the entire contents of the e-zine have
now been re-typeset for easy reading and compiled into one PDF volume at a significantly
reduced price.
More than 250 fully illustrated pages, plus a complete index and extensive table...
... money on the table and tries to guess the spectator's replies. At the end, the Spectator opens the envelope and it contains the card and the number thought by the Spectator! The card is also revealed in a surprising manner with the bills.
BONUS
"A principle that may be useful to you. It is impromptu"
Some words are written on business cards. The Participant selects a word and keeps it secret. She then spells whether She likes it or not (Se can lie, She can select the words She wants to spell). The Performer finds the word just by listening to her (lovely) voice.
This trick sells for $100 made up, however, using this PDF you can make it up yourself for a low cost and save some money.
Effect:
Invite 3 people on stage. No stooges or impromptu coaching. Can be any 3 people. One is given an envelope to hold before the trick even begins. This envelope is never touched again by the performer till the trick is over.
Performer has three different newspapers face down on the table. The first spectator freely selects any newspaper. There is no force of any kind! He has a free choice of any one of the three newspapers. The front page of the freely chosen...
He is asked to name the drink he chose, then lift the cover from the remaining bottle. It is the one he wanted. He is presented with a glass and the magician opens the bottle and asks him to drink to the health of the audience.
The effect can be done totally impromptu. Everything is well explained in the usual style of Ken De Courcy.
Very easy to do, impromptu and with a big effect! What else would you ask? Count Down by Ken de Courcy is a card trick that you can present in several ways, all well explained in this little manuscript.
The basic effect is the following: A spectator shuffles his own pack (Yes! It can be his own pack of cards and he really shuffles it...), then counts ten cards in reverse order. If a number of spots on a card happens to match the number he is counting aloud at the time, the card is thrown out face-up. If none match during the count, a card is dealt face down in front of the magician.
SPECTATOR MAGICIAN (Tony Faro): Here is a great card effect entirely performed in the spectator hands and totally impromptu. You'll never stop using it.
SLOW MOTION RING RELEASE (Peter Kane): A ring is threaded onto a piece of string (or rope) and it becomes free.
COLOUR-PSYCHOLOGY (Stanton Carlisle): Four envelopes are shown and three are selected by spectators. They open the envelopes and inside they find...
Five Impromptu card tricks with a regular deck. No hard sleights, no gaffs and no setups!
The Magic Number: A close-up version of the classic 'Six Card Repeat', with a killer ending they won't see coming.
Gone Figured: A super simple handling of a classic Larry Jennings effect. From a genuinely shuffled deck, a spectator locates a four-of-a-kind without the slightest idea how they did it.
Cheap Suit: The Four aces identify the suit of card chosen by process of elimination. The selection itself makes a surprising appearance. A great quickie for when someone hands you a deck.
Ian delights in finding forgotten gems in classical card literature, which he then refines and updates for modern day audiences. In this manuscript, you will find a further five effects which have received Ian's careful study and are sure to delight both you and your spectators.
In Miraskill Detour Ian has taken the classic Miraskill and turned it into a totally impromptu and self working mystery, while in the process managing to streamline the procedure and still maintain the strong impact of the original routine.
MBJ Echo is a re-working of an old Henry Christ trick, simple both in effect...
...The Block Peek: The Block Peek is Christopher's favourite method for peeking information written on a business card, it's quick, gives you a 100% peek of the billet/card and seems impossible. The original method and gimmick is taught, plus a couple of extra (un-published) variations, one of which is completely impromptu!
Get your copy now, this is a killer collection of awesome material for the magician, bizarrist or the mentalist; there's something in here for everyone and many of the methods discussed are flexible enough to be used in other routines you construct yourself.
Feast your eyes on and fry your spectators' brains with six more insanely impossible impromptu card miracles.
TRIP EL REMIX - An amped-up version of a classic triple prediction trick with a major kicker ending. A serious fooler - and best of all, it's entirely self-working.
BIDDLE-ISH - A lean, mean, super-clean "Card Across" effect. You've never seen this spin on a time-tested classic of card magic.
BUT NOT LEAST - A wildly deceptive triple sandwich effect with an eye-popping, in-the-spectators-hands ending.
EAT FRESH - Inspired by the Buck Twins' legendary "Subway" - but you don't...
