I rarely get to work on my own creations these days. 911 Summing is one of those rare occasions. It is an effect and method I have created more than 20 years ago. Both the effect and the method are to the best of my knowledge completely new and have never been published before.

This is a math effect I have had a lot of fun with. It can even be performed as puzzle challenge rather than a magic effect. I have performed this for people twice as smart as myself - engineers, scientists, researchers, professors - you name it. Not once has anybody figured out how it is done, even though, the principle...

A classic effect from the early days of magic catalogs. An effect that every kid wanted to order so he could impress his friends. Ads for this trick appeared in early Boy's Life and in comic books. It's an effect that is still effective today but is almost forgotten.

It is a little known secret...

"I do a lot of Q&A act in my shows and I have different ways to get people info. This for sure is another tool I will have at my disposal when I can. Thanks Devin for releasing this." - Luca Volpe

"This is a shocking book. I will never use it, but every mentalist should own it to know what is going on. It is a valuable reference, but do not use it. Like a modern-day nightmare alley, it exposes the dark underbelly of the art. It should be in your library, but much feels immoral, and you must be hip to it. Treasure it, like a radioactive isotope, but keep your distance." - Marc Salem

Make money performing at stores, malls and shopping centers with a one-man magic show.

If you are of average ability, this book reveals Tommy Windsor's exact plan for booking and performing a short, 15 to 25-minute magic act at stores in your area. The book tells you everything . . . how to book . . . how much to charge . . . how to play . . . sales gimmicks . . . the contract . . . and even reproduces all the ads and publicity the store can use. There are no ads for you to sell. With this, and one suitcase of magic, you can make $850+ per day, right near home, and still hold your regular...

There seems to be some controversy about what exactly to include in a modern-day recreation of a Ghost or Spook Show like the ones that scared the bejesus out of theatergoers back in the 1940s and '50s. What prevents many magicians today from staging their own "spooker" is the mistaken idea that a midnight ghost show must be a two-hour magic extravaganza requiring an 18-wheel tractor-trailer filled with expensive illusions and spook-themed props. Luckily for you, that's not the case.

Larsen sets the record straight, showing how little in the way of magic an act actually needs in order to...

Weldon traveled this country during the last 20 years of the 19th century, learning and perfecting tricks of the street peddler. Many of these ploys are still used today in one form or another. He helped pioneer the many subleties of "street selling" and "percentage moves." His self-taught mastery of man's basic needs enabled him to manipulate people into buying things, sometimes using their own greed as his tool. Must reading for those interested in studying a true American phenomenon - "The pitch man."

A collection of effects that deal directly with thoughts. Only three of them need anything tangible, and only one requires writing; the rest can be performed naked. Combat with your thoughts, divine birthdays, scam bar mates, use two different cold reading presentations, make your spectator see words they never saw, verbally force cards in seconds, psychologically force thoughts, bend the wills of an audience; let your spectator read your mind, another spectators mind, or even speak life into being.

"Just finished reading Roger Crosthwaite's new book, Arcardia. It's the kind of book cardmen love to read - lots of details, the kind of details that take a good trick and make it into a great one. I thought Roger's Upjog Switch to be an extremely strong utility item that will have many applications. This one move alone would be worth the price of this book." - Allan Ackerman
