Moving along, I will explore some lesser-known ploys and updates which can be applied to the Vernon 5 Card Psychological Force, which is actually done wrongly by many otherwise well-posted magicians. Finally, I explore the idea of doing Equivoque and the Vernon 5 at the same time with 2 identical packets and achieving synchronicity.
In Addendum, I'll include a short article on the drawing... | ★★★★★ $4.95 to wish listPDF |

Marlo's only comment was equally brief: "It's a good move to use when seated." Because nothing else was suggested regarding purposes beyond the reverse itself, it's likely most readers glossed over it. Steranko, Vernon and Henry Christ made important contributions.

Original Card MysteriesEric F. Impey Excerpt from the Foreword:
The majority of the effects described in this book are absolutely new, and require a minimum amount of skill.
I have been using many of them for a considerable time, and they are all original with me, except one. So I sincerely hope that others will not "invent" them in a few months time.
In this publication, Impey describes how to wax together pairs of cards, a technique that Dai Vernon would later refine with rough-and-smooth to create his famous Brainwave deck. Judson Brown is generally credited with inventing the basic brainwave-type effect using Impey's waxed cards... | $10 to wish listPDF |

... starting from the earliest descriptions in the 16th century to the latest hot magic tricks performed by the likes of David Copperfield, Criss Angel or David Blaine. Regardless of if you want to find out more about Houdini or Erdnase, learn the best card tricks and methods from 'The Professor' Dai Vernon, or Roberto Giobbi, or study the classics as well as the latest developments in mentalism, this is the page to bookmark. Make sure to also drill down into the subtopics to find what you are looking for. | |
The most popular tricks are card tricks. Take a pack of cards and perform a miracle. Some of the masters whoes work you will find here are Dai Vernon, Tony Slydini, Roberto Giobbi and many many more. A pack of cards with its 52 pasteboards allows a shear infinite number of combinations and variations of card tricks. A philosophical question to ask would be if there are a finite number of card tricks possible or an infinite number. Looking at the amount of published card tricks it appears to be for all practical purposes infinite. Nevertheless the classic themes remain extremely popular and effective. It is hard to top a good ambitious card routine, card warp, oil and water, card to wallet... | |
Show Stoppers with CardsJean Hugard & Fred Braue  ... Published in 1940, their first literary team-up, Expert Card Technique, was an influential manual on sophisticated state-of-the-art card magic.
To keep the book's final draft a manageable length, Hugard and Braue edited out a lot of quality material, including lost chapters contributed by Dai Vernon and Dr. Daley. Show Stoppers With Cards isn't just another collection of card tricks. In putting together this 33-page pamphlet, the pair sifted through piles of unedited manuscript pages from Expert Card Technique, compiling these eleven effects. The small size of this booklet makes the material's... | ★★★★★ $3 to wish listPDF |

Artanis, real name Joe Sinatra, was a gambling specialist rather than a magician. He was friend and contemporary of Vernon, Horowitz, and Cardini. His death was unusual. He was challenged to a running race, which he won, and then dropped dead of a heart attack. | |
... are first published in a magazine and then later appear in books. If you want to read about the roots of effects or get a feeling of how it was to be a magician in former times, or if you just can't get enough to read, magazines are the best resource. Many famous magicians of the likes of Dai Vernon, Nate Leipzig or Ted Annemann left their early traces in journals. Few pleasures compare to reading old conjuring journals. The ones I can offer you here are some of the best magic magazines of all time. And comics - what can I say - they have to be seen to be appreciated.

Others whom he met and had a profound influence on his path include, Gordon Bruce, Andy Galloway, Tommy Frederick, Fred Robinson, Dave Campbell, Eric Mason, Ken Brooke, Peter Kane, Alex Elmsley, Pat Page, Phil Goldstein, Gene Maze, Richard Kaufman and Dai Vernon.
A past winner of the Scottish Conjuror’s Association Close-up competition and the British Ring Zina Bennett Cup, Peter considers competitions "good fun but meaningless."
His early association with Jerry Sadowitz led to a series of books, beginning with 17916 Alternative Card Magic (1982). It started with two young men - a manuscript - and no publisher. Peter is grateful that Martin... | |
Roth Memory CourseDavid M. Roth This is a wonderful course in seven lessons to improve your memory. It covers all fundamentals and shows how to apply these mnemotechnic tools to remember for example names, faces, spelling and numbers. It also gives applications for magic tricks. You will learn how to memorize a shuffled deck of 52 cards or how to remember the knight tour on the chess board. It is likely that Roth was a magician himself, since he mentions his friend Henry Hatton from Magicians' Tricks fame. Dai Vernon learned from this course and mentions it on the Revelations video tapes.
Written in 1918 and as good as any book on 'how to improve your memory'... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish listPDF |
 (1967- )
Born in Buffalo, NY. Started at age ten after visiting a renaissance festival where he met a performer. Beside this first magician he met, his biggest influences have been Tony Slydini, Dai Vernon and David Roth.
His conjuring mainly consists of close-up bar and parlor magic with coins, cards, keys, rings, etc. He started performing magic from behind a bar professionally at the age 20 in a small tavern in South Boston. He relocated back to his home town of Buffalo, NY in 2000, and resumed performing bar magic in a small neighborhood pub. | |
 (8th April 1909 - 17th June 1997)
Fred started magic at 19 seeing a friend doing a show and became semi-pro close-up magician at age 20. In 1932 when he saw Herbert Milton work with jumbo cards at Maskelyne's he decided to become a specialist with these large cards. He fooled Dai Vernon with 'Hand of Cleopatra' during Fred's USA tour in 1981.
Fred was also a renowned singer specializing in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. | |
 ... chosen, every movement and look is designed to convince the onlooker that everything is open and natural. Nevertheless miracles happen.
It is hard to describe what and how Slydini does magic. One has to see and witness a performance to fully appreciate his genius. Dick Cavett once asked Dai Vernon who could still fool him. Nobody, the Professor replied almost regretfully, then added with a smile, "Of course, Tony can."
One of his long-time students, Dennis Barlotta, is teaching the Slydini way of doing magic. If you have been struggling to learn from the various books on Slydini check out the video lessons by Dennis. | |

SIMPLY STATED: Simply stated, the two red Aces find two previously chosen cards.

A SENSE OF FREEDOM: This is based on a number prediction by Shigeo Futagawa using four pieces of cardboard (See "Stunumbers" in Karl Fulves' Self-Working Number Magic, Dover). The only weak point was that the prediction couldn't be written until an advanced stage in the proceedings.
