He leaves the client with this set of instructions: The client is to choose any paper or magazine that week, to look at any headline and to choose one of the words from that headline. He/she can change their mind anytime up until the day of the show. The day of the show arrives, and the performer [who never touches the envelope] performs his show and then asks that participant to open the envelope as his finale. He has correctly identified which word the client would choose. ... ★★★★★ $12 1089 Refreshed and ReloadedUnknown Mentalist ... 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. So... ★★★★★ $12 Propless Bank NightUnknown Mentalist ... end of a voice call with the performer, maybe thousands of miles away. The performer even tells the participant upfront the contents of each envelope involved in the routine. And yet the participant is stunned with the result.
A unique combination of classic principles. This can be performed one on one or to a small group over a voice call or video call or even via text messages. And yet packs a punch in terms of impact. Of course, this can also be performed in the usual face to face situations like close up, parlor, street or stage. This is really a 100$ idea being released as a... ★★★★★ $20.20 The Secret GateDartagnan The oldest, most pernicious, and insoluble problem in the history of magic was stated best by Henning Nelms, in his 1969 Magic and Showmanship: A Handbook for Conjurers ... "No matter how astonishing a trick may be, it suffers from one major fault - it has no point." This ebook is the long-sought-after answer to that statement.

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. Although it is pretty much just a framework for a simple card revelation, the booklet includes... ★★★★★ $20 Sometimes the jokes are just for meMaster Payne A manuscript of meaningless meanderings on the subject of meaningful magic. Above all this is fun to read. Master Payne has an engaging and fun way to write. His intention with this ebook is to impart on you the skills to be able to create a theme specific show from the knowledge of performing character driven magic. He calls it Thematic Thaumaturgy. Master Payne teaches primarily by example. He takes an effect that he adopted for one of his themed shows and he explains how, why and what he changed. The first such example is What’s Next?, the classic spot card trick from Tenyo. In his... ★★★★★ $10 Speed DatingMichael Daniels
Speed Dating is a refinement to Day for Any Date calculation that Michael Daniels has developed over the last thirty years, and which incorporates some new shortcuts to the mnemonic methods previously published by Bernard Zufall, Harry Lorayne, Will Dexter, and Tony Corinda.

As well as fully explaining the routines, Paul also discusses many subtleties that allow the performer to use a marked deck with confidence and the 'tricks of the trade' that mean the spectators never suspect for... ★★★★★ $37.50 Piddington's Secrets: We know How They Did It!Martin T. Hart We know how they did it! The Piddington's were a 1949 husband and wife telepathy act who seemed able to transmit their thoughts to each other, even across vast distances. They could do this without talking. Finally, the unfathomable mystery behind the world's most baffling telepathy act is revealed after 70 years of silence. Martin T Hart takes us on a fascinating and detailed journey into the lives of 'The Amazing Piddingtons' and deep inside the cunning methods that fooled a global generation. To this day no magician or scientist has ever discovered how Sydney was able to transmit his thoughts... ★★★★★ $15 Golf Ball in GlassRalf (Fairmagic) Rudolph ... - all of them are narrowed to zero. The good news is that the mr. rudolph's releases stand on their own. At least, this is my experience with his downloads. No monkey circus, only straight-to-the-point creative thinking. I'm a big fan. Reviewed by William Freeman I can’t get consistent enough. 1 success in 5 attempts. The technique is undoubtedly valid but I can’t master it. I make impossible bottles and hoped to add this. I’m a wedding Celebrant and toastmaster and these would make a unique gift to golfing couples. I’ll look to buy instead. Pity. Reviewed by Devin Knight 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... ★★★★★ $8 UF Grant's Lost Card SecretsDevin Knight & Ulysses Frederick Grant This new e-book contains five of U. F. Grant's forgotten and almost lost card miracles. The first four effects are from a booklet released in 1931 that contained what Grant considered to be his four best card effects. The release was called: Counterfeit Card Miracles. It is very rare and almost impossible to find today. Devin has taken the four effects and updated them and expanded the directions. These are real magician foolers! #1- A spectator shuffles his own deck of cards and looks at one, remembering what number from the top that card is. For example, he may choose to remember the card... ★★★★★ $10 The Calostro Mind Reading ActRalph W. Read ...

In this hard-to-find manuscript, Dr. Dejay Ward reveals the secrets of his miracle memory act, with which he has amazed audiences for more than 30 years. When played to today's audiences, you'll discover that the miracle mind act is as fresh today as it was when first presented.

This is a propless version of the same effect. There are 2 pure propless versions of Chronologue which are explained where no diary or datebook and no physical deck or playing cards are in play. The process is quick, direct, and purely propless between the performer and a participant. The whole process takes about 2 minutes approx. Using an imaginary diary and an imaginary deck, the lucky card of a participant for her birthday is nailed by the performer accurately. There are also 2 almost propless versions... ★★★★★ $8 RopesationalGeorge Sands ... to replace, it lasts for years! However, this booklet was the only way to learn it at the time. (Now I think Alan Sands teaches it as a download). And despite the many illustrations in the booklet, it is not an easy thing to learn. When I first started to learn it, I would repeat it 20 times a day for several months, until it got into my 'bones'. I've been doing it for over 50 years and I have edited the routine somewhat. That is part of the beauty of this booklet is that you can shorten the routine and use just one or two phases if you wish. I have taught it to a few performers on an individual... ★★★★★ $15 The AI Magician's HandbookMago Marko ... to create presentations. This is the first AI book I have found that explicitly applies to magic. Marko's book is an excellent introduction to the topic. The book falls short on music creation. It is only two pages long, and the prompts are brief and not as detailed as the performance prompts. Only one AI app is listed, and Marco stresses that most AI music apps cost money. There is an invaluable link to the legalities of using AI music in performances. Chris Wasshuber runs a wonderful website with tons of useful information. In his review guidelines, he suggests leaving some brief bio information... Topic: CatalogsCatalogs constitute a very important record of history. It allows one to date tricks and effects, research the lineage of inventions and get a feeling of days gone by. Catalogs also inspire the imagination and exercise your magic knowledge. Reading an effect description in a catalog involuntarily makes you think about how this effect might be achieved. You start to think about methods and principles with which you could accomplish the same trick. And if you can't come up with a good answer you want to buy the trick. Wonderful! ★★★★★ $6 Hofzinser's Card ConjuringJohann Nepomuk Hofzinser & Ottokar Fischer & Sam Sharpe Hofzinser was born at the beginning of the 19th century and lived in Vienna during a time called the 'Biedermeier'. This was a time where people enjoyed art and entertainment in drawing-room presentations and at little receptions in the houses and villas of the rich and famous. Hofzinser thus never performed on a stage but perfected the branch of magic today known as 'Close-up'. One could argue that Hofzinser is the grandfather of close-up magic in particular close-up card magic. And this book is all about card magic. We have to thank Ottokar Fischer for collecting Hofzinser's material about... Displaying 337 to 360 (of 1673 products)
