The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts

Arthur Edward Waite
The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts by Arthur Edward Waite

The primary reason we are offering this work is that Ted Annemann included it in his "Five-Foot Shelf of Magic". I am assuming he included it because he felt a conjurer needed to have some understanding of black magic and be able to converse intelligently about it. It may also be a source for plots and scripts for routines.

Hexagnosis

Unknown Mentalist
Hexagnosis by Unknown Mentalist... The word 'Hexagnosis' is derived from prognosis. The meaning of prognosis is 'a forecast of the likely outcome of a situation'. Hexagnosis means 'the forecast of the likely outcome of a situation which has six possible outcomes.'

The performer predicts, very cleanly and accurately, the exact choice of a participant from among six possible options. The participant has an absolutely free choice and there is no force. The principle is so simple and powerful that you will find yourself performing this almost every day, to any new person you may meet.

The underlying principle is extremely flexible too. A participant can make a list of any six names or personal objects or places or goals or living & dead names etc and choose anyone from among these options. Your prediction of these one-in-six choices will...

Optik Deck

Unknown Mentalist
Optik Deck by Unknown Mentalist

Optic Deck is an optical/visual memorized deck. You 'see' a number 1-52 in your mind's eye and you 'optically' or visually know what card is at that number. Similarly you 'see' any card in your mind's eye and you again 'optically' know what position the card is at.

The stack looks very random, the suits look random, there is no red/black alternating pattern and even after reasonable scrutiny it would be almost impossible to spot a sequence because there is none. Even magicians after being told that there is a stack involved will find it extremely difficult to spot the stack.

this very highly!

Reviewed by Dan Beach

(I don't own the book; the rating is for the trick) Don't let the age of a trick keep you from making it your own, and doing it in a fresh new way. I think it is remarkable someone wrote a book about this old standby. I actually opened a show with this one, in a retirement center. My take on it was, after I had my volunteer do all the math, (first of all, do whatever you need to do to avoid using the phrase "three-digit number" as you start introducing the trick) I pretend to fail to be able to reveal the number by myself, after some effort.

Karson was also a very entertaining and funny performer (he often stole the show when he performed at magic conventions in the 1940's). And although most of his trick writeups don't include too much in the way of scripting, there is one notable exception. In 1948 he published The World's Fastest Card Trick (also available as individual ebook). This little booklet gives the complete details for performing one of Karson's signature effects.

The golf ball in glass was used on the Penn & Teller Fool Us TV show. The magician used a force to have an item chosen from a list. It was a golf ball. He showed a duplicate empty jar which was secretly switched. A golf ball appeared inside the jar; he showed it could not be removed, proving it must have materialized inside. (Otherwise, how else did it get inside the jar?) This was a clever use of this idea, showing how this impossible...
