This is an obscure but extremely fine lesson in conjuring. It is true that it was written as an introduction for the neophyte, but it is a gem of a book of great value to absolutely anyone regardless of their experience.

The text is very modest - no 'latest novelty' or 'top secret'. Just solid...

Wolfgang Riebe has been one of the most successful professional magicians in the world during the last 30 years with appearances in over 165 countries. This is not just an ebook on prestidigitation, but original routines and ideas that work. A unique feature is that most tricks have video links where you can see Wolfgang perform the effects and routines he shares. So you are not buying an ebook on 'theory', but on practical magic that works. As a bonus he shares links to select online teach-in videos too.

All of his techniques are ground-breaking and far more refined than anything I have ever seen anyone else do before." - Harvey Rosenthal

"Bertini is the best and most original coin man I have ever seen!" - Steve Draun

"Giacomo Bertini's coin magic not only raised the bar, he is the only one who jumps over and clears his own bar by several feet. Just when you assume that the subject has been thoroughly mined, someone like Bertini comes along and proves the experts wrong. His coin work is pristinely clean, remarkably direct, and utterly astonishing." - Jon Racherbaumer

Abigail was an evil witch, the high priestess of an evil coven. On the 7th day of July, 1777 the people of her small community convicted her of witchcraft, and had her put to death. Abigail was nailed to her coffin with 7 silver spikes. One through each arm, hand, and knee. The last of the 7 was drawn through her mouth so that she could never rise and cause evil again! The coven's mark was then placed on a rune, and also onto a small piece of wood. These were mixed with other runes and pieces of wood with counterfeit symbols. The superstition was that Abigail could only rise again if one who...

A box is given to anyone you want (the chief of police, the major, a TV producer, etc.) This box is sealed and it will be opened some days later. The box will never be touched again by you or anybody else involved in the stunt.

The day that the prediction will be opened, lets say you are performing at the radio while there are live people waiting to see the box opened, you ask the radio audience to call in to the radio station, they will be taking part in a mind experiment in which they will have to make some decisions that will create at the end a random event, which when the box is opened...

This is your guide towards high chess achievements! You'll know WHAT and HOW you should train (+ the best training materials).

Why do Some Players Play BETTER Than Others?

Really, why? A lot of people play and study chess. However, only 1-3% of players have really good achievements (titles, prizes...). What is different about this successful minority from the rest? It is NOT a matter of talent. I have observed thousands of different players, and I can state it with confidence. Yes, you need to have chess talent for the highest chess achievements (over 2600-2700 rating). However, anyone...

When this idea popped into my head I could not wait to try it out. I had a show the very next day and put this routine in. It was a storming success. You will not find any new methods here, although the principles in use are very well hidden. What you will find is a concept and presentation that I think is VERY special.

Recently thoughts regarding my own act have turned to making the whole performance more of an experience for EVERYONE in the audience. Performers who use any Q&A routine know that one of the appeals of such a routine is that it is a "Macro" effect. In other words everyone...

to work trade shows you NEED to watch this DVD." - Nicholas Einhorn

For those who are keen to perform in this area this video offers an invaluable insight into the tough, but potentially lucrative, world of trade show magic. This download DVD was filmed live at the first Corporate Magic Zone day and is the only time Marc has performed this lecture.

Multiple card revelations are very popular nowadays, but many of them require a lot of skill to do the revelations. Comedy Peking Revelation allows to you reveal five playing cards with no skill and in a very amusing manner.

One person cuts the deck and removes five cards, or five people can each take a card. Regardless, none of these cards are shown to the performer. The performer removes a letter from his pocket written in Chinese. He says this is from his Chinese magician friend, Foo Ling Yoo. The performer says the...

U. F. Grant seldom did live lectures. One of the few he did was for the Magician's Guild of American in New York City on Oct. 13, 1952. These are the original lecture notes. These notes are very rare and almost impossible to find as they were sold only at the lecture and not distributed through magic dealers.

Here are the contents; none require any difficult sleights and all are easy to do.
