The basic plot of the "Chamele Aces" was developed in the late 40s by Edward Marlo, who shared ideas about this motif with Neal Elias in 1949. Elias wrote notes regarding the methods they explored, which he and Marlo then filed away. Neither published the "work;" however, Marlo performed an impromptu version at a Pittsburgh magic convention in 1955. Earlier the same year, Roy Walton published his version of "Chamele Aces" in The Gen (February-1955: Volume 10 - Number 10).

The basic Chamele Aces plot is four red-back and four blue-back Aces transpose one at a time.

Ten routines with large rings and finger rings. All effects are performed with rings and other props such as silks, ropes, padlocks and pens. They are suitable for close-up and walk-around magic, and most are impromptu and can be performed with borrowed objects.

Contents:

• RING ON STICK (Bill Simon): A finger ring escapes from a handkerchief and reappears on a stick or a pen.
• PICK A FINGER (Ken de Courcy): The perfect opening for a ring routine. You show your hand empty, a spectator picks a finger and on that finger a ring suddenly appears.
• DIRECT RING/ROPE PENETRATION (Michael Sondermeyer): A ring...

The Great Card Magic of Nick Trost continues.

CONTENTS:

• THREE-WAY GEMINI: Mates to three selected cards are located by the spectators themselves. The routine is totally impromptu.
• THE SPECTATOR'S ROYAL MARRIAGES I: A spectator cuts to four cards. He then cuts the deck into four piles.. His four cards and the top card of each pile reveal four Royal Marriages (Queens and Kings).
• DOUBLE DUKE: A stunning poker demonstration from a deck shuffled by a spectator where at the end you reveal a straight flush.
• NO-CLUE ELIMINATOR: Two principles combine to reveal a selected card. Another great impromptu...

David Devlin has floored everyone he has shown this incredible effect. Even members of his family were nailed. This is an amazing piece of mental magic. Based on an array of different effects and principles, this is certain to go into your working repertoire. It is self-working and can even be performed impromptu (at least the majority of the effect can be performed impromptu)!

The effect is this: A deck is shuffled, and two predictions are made on the backs of two business cards. One is a number and the other is the name of a playing card. Two spectators deal cards in turn until they each...

The Muse: An incredibly well structured routine that causes a very emotional moment for your participant. Make your mind-reading meaningful with this powerful effect.

Out of Uranus: My take on the classic "OOTW" routine. Easy and completely impromptu.

The UP-Force: Pick up on a very specific memory from your participant, then divine the exact object they are thinking of from that memory (even it's color)! Oh yeah. And did I mention it's completely prop-less?? (Special thanks to Mr. Cassidy and Peter Turner for making this what it...

JUST A BIT MORE ULTIMATE THAN JOHN MENDOZA'S "ULTIMATE TORN & RESTORED CARD": You're clean at the first and clean at the end. As a bonus, it's super easy to do even though the card is signed on both sides!

MIRACLE COIN VANISH: This gets gasps from spectators. Looks like real magic.

DEVASTATION: This might just be the best impromptu card trick on the planet. Tom Daugherty's totally impossible card location that'll devastate your audience. Note: there's not one sleight in the entire trick! Worth the price of this ebook many times over.

READY 2 LINK: A technique that...

Every now and then a sequel is made that out does the original such as The Godfather part II, Superman II, The Empire Strikes Back, The Terminator II, The Dark Knight, and Aliens to name a few. Well, such is the case here with David Devlin's Packet Racket II. If you like packet tricks (David loves them) then you will love this eBook! All six of the tricks use standard packet sleights, and only one of them uses gaffed cards. (You can find the first volume here Packet Racket).

Triumphant Travelers: What do you get when you combine Open Travelers with Triumph? You get Triumphant Travels. This one is impromptu. ...

From the Foreword:

One of the best impromptu tricks ever invented for an unprepared dollar bill, invented by the late Jack Chanin. Long off the market. This charming bit of magic is almost forgotten today. This sold in the 70s for $10.00. According to Dollar Times that would be over $60 in today's dollars.

You show an unprepared dollar bill and fold it into quarters. At the folded corner of the bill you tear off a section, as shown on the cover photo. The audience plainly sees the missing section. Placing the small torn piece into your mouth, you blow it at the bill. Instantly, the bill is restored, pulled...

BROKEN AND RE-COMPOSED COUPLE: an effect to be proposed, as well as on the telephone, on the radio, also to an unlimited number of people; the use of tickets, rather than playing cards, allows for a themed "acclimatization".

CRAZY POKER, WITH CARD OR COINS: classic “impromptu” game, taking a handful of coins from your wallet.

NUMBERS AND MIRACLES: I have put together three different principles, not so much intending to create yet another routine, but to stimulate the creation of new effects by applying known principles together.

EVEN OR ODD? another classic...

Here are six card magic routines, plus variations on two of them. All are truly impromptu, meaning they can be done with a borrowed, shuffled deck of ordinary cards. Some sleight-of-hand is required.

Synaptic - you reveal their thought-of card by "tuning in" to their senses

Maybe - an in-the-hands Open Prediction

Sweep - they choose a card through a visualisation process, but you knew their choice beforehand

Little Sympathy - impromptu sympathetic cards

Royal - a variation of Little Sympathy

Silver - they choose every card for two hands of poker, and you reveal a photographic...

An impromptu effect of mentalism and vampire-themed bizarre magic that just makes use of six playing cards.

The title of this eBook suggests the vampire theme underlying this impromptu mentalism/bizarre magic effect.

A female spectator is chosen in the role of the first victim, the only one who survived...

Annemann's Synthetic Sympathy is a long-regarded classic of card magic, with a history dating back to 1921 when Charles T. Jordan put out his original version. Annemann slotted it into an early edition of his magazine The Jinx. It took off like wildfire and Jean Hugard promptly included the Annemann update in Encyclopedia Of Card Tricks, further enhancing its popularity. Then Max Holden jumped on the bandwagon and published it yet again, including it in his Annemann compendium Full Deck Of Impromptu Card Tricks.

Holden was particularly...

QUAD CUT COUNT: A spectator cuts the deck into four piles in an attempt to cut to the Aces. He fails. However, using the four random cards he did cut to he ends up with all four Aces.

DYING TIME: You use six playing cards which represent the six sides of a magic electronic die. Adding the Joker which represents the battery, a mystery occurs. For previous related concepts see Roy Walton's "Eliminator in Disguise," (Magic Circular, Aug.96) and Alex Elmsley's "Eliminator" (Magic Circular, Mar.96).
