Tunnel Vision

Dave Forrest
Tunnel Vision by Dave Forrest

The Tunnel Vision gimmicks will allow you to push a face up playing card through the deck - as it emerges from the other side it is seen to change into a completely different card.

"This looks great. The final phase - with gimmick - is the real killer. The construction of the gimmick is devious!" - Peter Duffie

"Dave, it looks uber-cool, nice one!!" - Liam Montier

The main Tunnel Vision routine is a professional performance piece where four Jokers change one by one into Aces as they are pushed through the deck. This engaging routine builds to an impossible climax whereby the spectators actually witness...

Peter Prevos

Performing magic has been a part of my life since I was a schoolboy in the Netherlands, devouring books from the local library. My passion for magic was unrelenting in those early years, and I showed magic tricks to anyone who wanted to see them and in my enthusiasm also to those that were not so interested. I performed in many local talent contests, family birthday parties and some paid performances. My only claim to fame is that I once shared the stage with Hans Klok. He won the first prize at the convention; I was the worst performer.

Nowadays I occasionally perform magic as I am more occupied with thinking and writing about the craft. I write books about science and magic and how they...

Cups and Balls Magic

Cups and Balls Magic by Thomas (Tom) Osborne

Tom Osborne writes:

Cups and balls have been giving pleasure, as a magic trick, to generations of spectators. It is still regarded as one of the most outstanding of all magic effects. My gratitude to Dr. Henry Ridgeley Evans and to John Mulholland for writing the story of the cups and balls, so that all may appreciate the history of this classic of magic. Thanks to Bill Hanna for the illustrations which do so much to make the book come alive.

All the basic ball moves are described in detail using clear illustrations. A section of routines is described that will get you started on your way to devising your own methods and plots....

Reminder:

The TV game, "Let's make a deal", as it was broadcast in the 60's by Monty HALL (during thirteen years), was proposing a choice to a candidate among three closed doors. Behind one of them, there was a fantastic price (like a car), and behind the two other ones there was a cheap or funny prize (like a goat). The player must show a door, without opening it. Then, the host opens a door that has a goat behind it. (He is the only one to know where the car is). The spectator...

does a super job of making you understand this without any math notation. Follow along, and you will be convinced. And then he gives you two killer routines. Did I mention that this is $4? Cardicians and mentalists will find a lot to love here if you've never used this principle before. This is one of these principles that apart from mathematicians and magicians, very few people know because it's counterintuitive: Randomly mixing a nicely ordered deck will give you a randomly ordered deck, right? Nope. Laypeople will have no idea how you predict/know things about a fairly riffle shuffled deck. It seems impossible. But it isn't. It's easy to work miracles...

Scarne, a universally recognized gambling authority and highly skilled sleight of hand artist, had crafted a gem indeed, with two spectators and the performer involved in a successful forecasting of three cards chosen from a shuffled pack. It was a judicious use of the one-ahead principle, coupled with simple props and an understated, deliberate presentation.

Eighty years down the track and the trick has lost none of its impact.

However, times change and the props involved, other than the deck of cards, just might benefit from an update. The idea of writing...
