Playing cards, or even an individual card, carry great magical imagery and symbolism. Over centuries there are numerous songs, stories, and myths about them.

The primary reason we are offering this work is that Ted Annemann included it in his "Five-Foot Shelf of Magic".

It may also be a source for plots and scripts for routines.

Fabrice Delauré enters the stage. Fabrice, an innovative young creator and producer of magic, had one magic hero - you guessed correctly - Claude Klingsor. And one of his dreams was to update and upgrade Klingsor's encyclopedia of rising cards. Fabrice and Claude teamed up and updated and expanded on Claude's original work to create an even more complete and accurate encyclopedia. However, if... ★★★★★ $25 Building a TipDon Driver ... study material I bought with my earnings on the street, I purchased this video. It looked too simple. Don just... gets a crowd. A big crowd.

The first day I went out after studying this video, I made $45 more than I usually do. I spent a minute to get people to stop and watch before getting my show started. This video more than paid for itself the first time I used the concepts taught. A must buy for any street performer.

Besides the columns that review magicians and their magic, various magic “tricks” of good quality and fairly simple skill, there are the occasional and clever comic panels and interviews.

It would be a great benefit to see these articles bound into a compilation of the origins of effects and styles of the wizard’s craft, which includes some very important, yet little-known biographical stories and interviews of giants of magic.

★★★★★ $12 HexagnosisUnknown 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... Displaying 313 to 336 (of 1673 products)
