Section Two: Various Other Items
These are effects and/or plot-lines that don't flow from one to another, but instead are various effects and/or plot-lines that pack a punch all by themselves.
This starts with "BLOT", a routine where you get credit for knowing a person's 4 digit PIN number, even though you only reveal one of the numbers. This is included as a thank-you bonus for people who buy "A Nite Of Dumb Poker". In the right hands, you will be creating a...
An easy and effective multiphase routine with a Svengali deck. A spectator is correct continually in finding a previously selected card which the performer underlines with the punch line "How Right You Are."
From the introduction:
Here is one of those card routines in which the happenings are inexplicable to the uninitiated. The handling of the cards is so natural and each move is performed so deliberately, that trickery appears out of the question, yet a series of effects take place which really are uncanny.
To begin with, I will confess that a Svengali pack is used throughout and...

The psychological Card at Any Number that makes you a master of chaos.
"Red Chaos fooled me every single time." - Markobi
"What I love in Red Chaos is that the spectator believes everything is free, everything is chaos... and yet, at the end, there is only astonishment." - Dani DaOrtiz
Imagine this ... A spectator freely chooses a card that is lost in a shuffled deck. They name random numbers. They decide if the cards are taken from the top, the middle, or the bottom. Everything is in their hands. The chaos seems total. And yet ... at the end, their card appears exactly at the number...
You display an unfolded card box, and clearly show it inside and out. You then proceed to fold it up, snap your fingers and slide a full deck of cards out of the box! It's that simple. It's that effective.
Flat Pack is great for close-up as well as stand-up work. It's super easy to make, and the angles are great.
This is a two phase mentalism/card magic effect, involving a couple transpositions; both begin in the mind, then manifest into the physical. It's a fun and fairly simple routine that packs a punch and will have your participants wondering.
The first phase is an in-the-hands transposition of two spectator signed cards, and the second phase is a mental transposition of thought and a physical transformation of material.

Using a couple of classic principles and an unusual presentation, a unique moment of mystery can be created for your participant at any time and anywhere. These routines work best one-on-one or to a small group. With nothing but a couple of blank business cards, which just need a simple one-time preparation, you are always ready to mystify anyone.
There are 2 routines explained and with some interesting variations. All the routines are easy and self-working but pack a solid punch in terms of impact. The unique feeling which your participant experiences will remain with them for a very long...
... presentation themes of Typoglycemia and Cognomenancy are novel and
interesting. Also if someone googles these words they will get the right details which enhances the credibility of your effects.
Finally, all the effects are easy to learn and perform as they are self working and yet pack a big punch for your audience. This is ideal for close up and parlor and street performances but can be easily adapted to stage performances also. And the only math ability you need is to be able to subtract 2. That's all.
There are no sleights, no preshow, no stooges. This can be adapted to any language...
Part II from Al Mann Zodiac Series. You will find here several card techniques and a special card trick: how to deal five Aces to any seat at the poker table with a shuffled and cut deck. From the introduction, by Al Mann: I have been told by magicians who should know, that Poker demonstrations and Mentalism should not mix. I disagree with the above 100%... I have seen the amazed look in the eyes of a person when the Mentalist reads his mind... And I have also seen the terrible look in the eyes of the spectator after the miracle man deals five aces (4 aces and the joker), to any seat at the...
TRANS PHONE TEST: Mentalist asks anyone in the audience to use his cell phone to call home and ask anyone to choose a number (which is kept secret). Another person chooses a number secretly. These numbers combined secretly by the spectators to arrive at a page in a book. Mentalist reveals the passage in the book plus the two numbers thought of. You never approach the spectators.
WEIRD PROPHESY: You write 6 digits on a card and give to anyone to hold. The digits are visible to the person holding them. Members of the audienc call out 4 digits while another person on the phone chooses 2 more....
The knowledge in this manuscript allows the mentalist to very convincingly demonstrate the ability to read sealed messages and possess the art of thought-transference! The spectator is told to take his business card out and write out a question and turn the card writing-side down. The card is then sealed in an envelope which the spectator signs and holds. After the mentalist divines the thought, the envelope is opened and the card is taken out for a handwriting analysis and then both the card and the envelope are returned to the spectator!
... his or her directions, and memorizes a word. When that person exits the store with that word in mind they can speak it out loud or keep it to themself. That person is given the appropriate fundage to open the adjacent newspaper machine. The chosen word is seen to be circled in permanent red ink.
Card Through Person: Just what it sounds like.
Rapport Apport:
A card trick. Yep. Two people think of the same card and then are brought to a breathtaking moment of revelation.
Clock:
A person thinks of a time. They then hold out their hand as though they were standing in the middle of a clock....
Percy Press died in 1980 at the age of 78. He was probably the last of the English Street Conjurors and learned his craft working the streets of England. He was also a distinguished Punch and Judy performer. In this recording, Percy Press talks about the effects that he performed on the street and gives details of his routines for his Cups and Balls, his Funny Funnel, the Cap and Pence, a card trick using a card box, and his entertaining Coat, Ropes and Rings.
One of Percy's most baffling effects was his production of a full glass of water and, on this recording, he gives the complete routine...

The only ebook of it's kind! A great collection of comedy blackouts for magicians and others, to add variety and spice to shows. A "Blackout" is a quick bit of stage business, usually verbal, that ends in a snappy punch line on which (if possible) the lights go out.
These are all audience tested, guaranteed laughs. Valuable for use between other acts on any kind of show. Adds comedy, bulk and novelty to any programs, provides necessary time for the next act to get ready, etc. For school work or adults.
There are different tricks which use a hole in a card. Mario Tarasini presents one of the smartest and simplest methods to perform this effect. Just punch one hole on the selected card and the hole will multiply. The best part is that after the trick the card can be given to the spectator.
