PART III: PARLOR MAGIC

GASTON'S GREAT HOURGLASS TRICK: The sand in a large, examined hourglass defies gravity by visibly flowing from the bottom bulb back to the top without being turned over.

A BELL EXPERIMENT: Three sleigh bells are examined - one rattles, two are silent. Despite slow, visible movements, the audience is consistently fooled about which glass contains the ringing bell.

THE CHEMIST'S SECRET: A red silk handkerchief placed into a newspaper cone transforms into a blue silk handkerchief, which is pulled from the cone's tip. ...

This is a magnificent magic ebook. Some put it among the top 10 or even the top 3 magic books ever written. It was translated by Barrows Mussey, of Amateur Magician's Handbook fame, from the German original Das Wunderbuch der Zauberkunst. It has many photos and beautiful illustrations and covers all disciplines of magic.

With an introduction by Fulton Oursler and an unpublished chapter by Harry Kellar.

Tarot Psych is an easy to perform tarot baffler. A spectator takes 7 tarot cards from any deck of your choice. Each card represents a day of the week. The spectator thinks something she plans to do in the next seven days and writes it on the card that corresponds to that day. The card is returned to the deck which is wrapped in a cloth (or returned to the box). The 'spirit' of the card contacts you and tells you what she plans to do and the day she plans to do it.

Aces Over Easy:
In the course of an Overhand Shuffle, the performer shuffles off four packets. He then shows an Ace on the face of each packet. One by one, the Aces are cut back into the deck. The deck is spread, and the Aces are together, reversed face up in the center.

A brand new thing to do with a water bottle. Looks freaky and leaves a lasting impression. You could start a religion with this!

IONIZE THE WATER IN A DRINKING BOTTLE, MAKING IT ALMOST LIGHTER THAN AIR!

Aqua-imp is one powerful piece of “incidental” magic. It appears almost impromptu. This illusion of spontaneity actually enhances the mystery—for it is at this magical (and supposedly offhanded moment) you give your spectators a thought-provoking, gentle, and fun glimpse at an un-imagined world of possibility.

Here’s what Aqua-imp looks like: You join friends or clients at a...

These are the kinds of ideas you can't wait to try and can visualise yourself doing. This comes highly recommended from me and is a great addition to your library." - Freddie Valentine

"Al Koran's influence continues to thrive in the magic and mentalist communities. What an extreme pleasure I had in reading this, the latest Al Koran work released by Martin Breese. These are lessons from the master, well worth devouring. The book is formatted beautifully - as one would expect from Martin Breese, and has taken its rightful spot - next to the other Koran books from Breese - but not until I read it again." - Steve Shufton

"This is an absolute must for Al Koran fans and gathers together his magazine contributions and commercially-released effects - all...

Publicity is the lifeblood of any magician. No matter how skilled you are or how great your act is, unless people know about you, then there are no bookings. The theater remains empty. Publicity equals bookings and attendance for your public shows. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

James Breedon, or as the kiddies affectionately call him, Uncle Jim, was one of the busiest children's entertainers on the South Coast, and author of this delightful book in which, with meticulous care, and in detail, he describes the effects and routines developed over the many years he has been entertaining Children.

In the pages of this book, the student will find the recipe for handling youngsters, and the development of the skills required; humour, tolerance, patience and inventiveness. The art of encouraging the shy, and of coping firmly with the over boisterous, without loss of temper....

A short change routine.

"Mr. Grismer is one of the nice guys in magic who is also talented and has the gift of working out startling tricks that require little in the way of 'work' ... 'Shorty' is a short change routine and the best of its kind ... once made up you will use it constantly. Brilliant routine and handling ... the best short-change routine to come along in years." - Karl Fulves

Clear Plot: You have $10, then $9, then $10, then $5.

Entertaining: You show skill but lose money.

Natural: No unusual-looking counts.
