Displaying 937 to 960 (of 1648 products) $12 TransactionGerard Zitta Here is another ploy to the Monty Hall problem, one of the most unexplored plots in magic and mentalism.
In this version, the mentalist plays the role of the candidate, and the participant plays the role of the host. As many people nowadays know the Monty Hall paradox or can search for it on the net, the game is made slightly more complex, in order to avoid any probabilities: The player can also play the role of a corrupt presenter if they wish. He can secretly steal the prize behind the third door, making it impossible for you to win the Ferrari! All this will allow you to mix mentalism... ★★★★★ $6 The Milky WayDevin Knight & Ulysses Frederick Grant  An extremely rare and little-known U. F. Grant manuscript that is nearly impossible to find nowadays. Devin Knight has taken the original text, revised it and updated it with various annotations for today's performers. He explains and deals with issues that Grant failed to mention in the original release.
This e-book teaches you three great U. F. Grant tricks with a glass of milk! The methods are typical of Grant's thinking.

★★★★★ $8 The Men-Tal-O Mystery ActRobert A. Nelson Here is one of the cleverest and most convincing acts of its kind ever offered. It completely baffles the audience, as the presentation apparently allows no opportunity for trickery.
Fair note cards and envelopes are distributed to members of the audience, with the request that they write their questions on the cards, sign their name, then seal their query in an envelope. This done, the performer collects the sealed questions, inquires of each spectator their name, and writes their names or initials upon the envelopes for the purpose of identification.
The sealed questions are then collected... ★★★★★ $10 The Modern Blindfold Street DriveRobert A. Nelson & B. W. McCarron  ... or idea that could be placed into operation that is sure to attract so much favorable comment, and to impress upon the residents of the city you play the fact that you are in town and playing such-and-such theatre.
The Blindfold Street Drive is a front page story in every city, and a welcome one. The performer is blindfolded to the complete satisfaction of all concerned, placed in an automobile furnished by the local dealer, and pilots the car while driving along through the traffic-congested streets of the city. Thousands of spectators line the streets and cheer the blindfolded driver.

When the spectator calls which hand of the four, the entertainer immediately deals out a Royal Flush to that hand...and even calls which suit, before he deals. This is one of the most amazing aspects of any poker routine.
THIRD, the Magician says that the Deuces are wild. He deals out a third round of cards and deals himself the four aces and a deuce. This hand even beats a Royal Flush.
This Poker Deal is very easy to do...no sleights needed - in fact, even... ★★★★★ $8 Your Break in Show BusinessShow Talent Enterprises ... - ... Career?

$5 Circus Life and Circus CelebritiesThomas Frost A history of the circus in Britain during the 19th century. One chapter deals with America, another with circus slang. Perhaps most interesting are the recollections of a gymnast and how he made it into the circus.
From the Preface:
But of the circus artistes - the riders, the clowns, the acrobats, the gymnasts, - what do we know? How many are there, unconnected with the sawdust, who can say that they have known a member of that strange race? Charles Dickens, who was perhaps as well acquainted with the physiology of the less known sections of society as any man of his day, whetted public... ★★★★★ $4 Essayed ProphesyIan Baxter From Ian Baxter, here is a remarkable 21st Century version of Bill Simon's famed Business Card Prophecy - virtually sleight-free and within reach of any card handler.

The following is my version of an ace assembly effect with a twist at the end. The method is so simple that even a beginner can master and perform it.
Four aces are dealt face down next to each other. Three indifferent cards are added to each pile. The magician says that he will attempt to move all the aces from the different piles into one pile. After some mumbo jumbo, the aces have disappeared from three of the piles. When the fourth pile is turned over, to everyone's surprise, it contains ... the... $10 Sum It Up & Out DatedAdam Hudson A brand new approach to the ACAAN plot and an exciting way to reveal any spectator's birthday.
Sum It Up
A packet of playing cards is mixed and a spectator freely names any card from within. Next, a small whiteboard or notepad is introduced and the performer writes down sixteen consecutive numbers, inviting the spectator to select four. The four chosen numbers are added together, creating a final total. This generated total is counted to in the packet, locating the one card that occupies that position. The card arrived at proves to be the very one named by the spectator at the beginning... $15 Poker StoriesJohn F. B. Lillard ... - ...

All of that takes place on a single RPi for $75 and one hard disk. Everything is automated with scripts. I do not have my computer on all the time or have the plotting interfere with my other work on my computer.

Excerpt from the preface:
When these confessions appeared serially, friends and distant enquirers took it for granted that they were fiction; that I had stitched together, from the experiences of many grafters, the biography of a typical one. I hasten to assure the reader that this is a genuine confession; that I figure in it but as the transcriber of a life story told me—I believe with every conscientious effort at truth—during a month of pleasant association in New York.
