Intuition

Unnamed Magician
Intuition by Unnamed Magician

"A very nice mentalism routine. And the method is devilish!" - Tony Bianco

"After I was taught the method for this, I immediately smiled. It is super clever, you won't be disappointed." - Brian Draven

"Many of you know the Unnamed Magician by now. But I've had the privilege of knowing him for a long time now. Any time he creates a new routine and sends it to me, I always make time that very day just so I can see it. This routine is no different." - Tommaso Guglielmi

To mark my 1st year anniversary at Lybrary, I am (in collaboration with someone else) releasing something very special, which, if you like...

Torn and Restored Magazine Pages

Torn and Restored Magazine Pages by Lu Brent

More than a single trick, this routine starts with ripping off the covers from any popular magazine. One of the corner pieces may be saved for later identification when the pages are restored. Not to be confused with anything ever described before in print. This miracle was awarded "a special orchid for an original twist in magazine paper tearing" from The Sphinx magician's magazine.

Use a current magazine from any newsstand. (Preferably larger than digest size, so that the entire audience can see it.)

Explicitly printed instructions with illustrations and many suggestions for variations - including...

The Modern Conjurer

Charles Lang Neil
The Modern Conjurer by Charles Lang Neil

This is my favorite magic book. The reason for this is that it was a groundbreaking book at the time it appeared and its contents is excellent. It was the first magic book that had photos instead of drawings or engravings throughout. And the contents is fantastic. It is one of the few books with a large chapter on chapeaugraphy. Add to this great chapters on shadowgraphy, plate spinning and paper folding. A large part is devoted to card magic, magic with coins, balls, and handkerchiefs, and much much more. If I would have to select one book this would be it. It is a book not many people know about. But you...

New Inspirations

Peter Duffie
New Inspirations by Peter Duffie

Twenty-one card tricks from the inventive Scotsman.

1st edition, 2000.

BACKLOG: You spread the deck with the faces upwards and invite a spectator to select any card - free choice. This is left face up on the table. You give him the deck and he now spells the name of his card - first the suit, then the value. This produces two random cards. The values of these cards are added - they might be a 3 and a 10 = 13. When the spectator turns his card over it has the number 13 boldly written on the back!

THE DETECTIVE: A spectator selects a card from a packet. Using the name of the famous fictitious...

Topic: Arthur Dailey Photos

... the original creator of the Lucky Luke cowboy character, a wrangler and seasoned dude and buddy to artists like E. William Gollings, the famous painter of the American West, and Joe De Yong, the only apprentice to the great cowboy artist, Charles M. Russell.

"Mike (meaning Arthur Dailey) is one of the toughest advertising managers I have ever known or worked with - and I've known some dandies. And that's one big reason, believe it or not, why I like Mike."
- Leo Burnett on the occasion of Arthur Dailey's retirement from Santa Fe Railroads, November 27th, 1963.

Mental Magic with Cards

Mental Magic with Cards by Jean Hugard...
how it may be done by using many of the well-established principles of card conjuring: By forcing a spectator to think of a given card; by using a "key card"; by marking a card with a pin or finger-nail; by employing a prearranged pack, with either partial or complete "set-up"; by calling into one's service such devices as the "one-way deck," the "forcing deck," the "marked-back deck"; and by utilizing a bit of carbon paper, a small mirror, and other "fakes" with which most magicians are familiar. He also explains the use of "talking" and "silent" codes which enable the performer to transmit...

Staging It

Bob Cassidy
Staging It by Bob Cassidy

There is no argument about the dilemma faced by many newcomers to mentalism. Are mental effects best presented as natural phenomena of the mind, or as examples of rare paranormal or supernatural abilities?

Most of today's mentalists use the "mental skill" as opposed to the "psychic gift" approach,...

Side Effects

Bob Cassidy
Side Effects by Bob Cassidy

One of the inherent difficulties in presenting effective mentalism is that it generally lacks the element of surprise. The performer states that he will read a thought and proceeds to do so. He says he will predict tomorrow’s headlines and he does. Many would-be mentalists infallibly demonstrate so many different alleged mental powers that the element of believability is lacking as well.

By applying the "Side Effects" principle, the element of surprise is returned to the art and variety is introduced into a performance without sacrificing believability. Bob's good friend Ross Johnson, one...

Devious Dates

Devious Dates by Peter Duffie

Use any pocket diary. Completely self-working. No reset.

Effect: To begin, you hand a spectator your diary for examination - you point out that each day in the diary has the name of a playing card entered against it. This he can verify as he studies the diary, before putting it in his pocket. (Note: it doesn't need to be playing cards - you can fill the diary with anything you desire - people's names, phone numbers, words, symbols, etc.)

Next you bring out six blank business cards. You write something on one of the cards, without showing it to the audience. This card is left on the table...

his face set in serious calculation. Yet he was fated to join his illustrious predecessors in defeat.

Much has been said and written regarding the modus operandi of Ajeeb. A journalist of 1854 blandly informs his readers that Maezel's chess-player (this was the name by which Ajeeb was known at one stage of its career) was destroyed in a Philadelphia fire. This is not true. Here are the facts of Ajeeb's ownership:

Ajeeb's inventor, Baron M. de Kempelen, a nobleman of Pressburg, Hungary, after many years spent perfecting his invention, amazed Europe with its introduction in 1769, exhibiting...

L. C. Collier

L. C. Collier... loved magic competition because he believed the work involved in preparing for them made him a better magician. He was highly involved with the local SAM and IBM magic clubs and served as president and held various other board positions during his many years of active involvement in the clubs. At one time he acted as the Society of American Magicians special appointed liaison with the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

L.C. was not only a fine performer but a talented craftsman, before his involvement in magic he was an accomplished painter, designed and made jewelry, and carved wooden statues. He used those skills and others to build some of the finest magic props through his company...

Pasteboard Adventures

David Gemmell
Pasteboard Adventures by David Gemmell

A collection of routines from David Gemmell's working repertoir. Difficulty varies from effect to effect and is in the reach of most magician.

From the introduction by Jon Racherbaumer:

A few years ago Eugene Burger introduced a useful phrase to Cardopia—one that partially describes what passionate card guys do on a regular basis: to overly indulge themselves in the "antics of the pasteboards." Antics is the apt word because it evokes other defining words: playful, fantastic, theatrical, whimsical…

Those who memorialize their personal "antics" realize the nature of their acts. They take notes....
