A verifiable, proven Comedy Cabaret Magic act that has been performed in over 150 countries, the world's top cruise liners, theatres, and global corporate events. Why would anyone share a success formula? Wolfgang has had... ★★★★★ $10 Souvenirs d'ItalieDavide Rubat Remond With Souvenirs d'Italie I have wanted to remember and celebrate the old, beloved tourist postcards that were the backdrop to everyone's holidays, those who lived them and those who received them indirectly, almost as an achievement for a promise kept. Souvenir d'Italie is an effect that makes it possible to make an impossible prediction: one Italian city out of the eight depicted on the postcard is chosen, or even only thought of, by a spectator, who holds them in a bunch in his hands. The spectator will have to distribute them face down on the table, covered by their respective place... $49.50 The Magical MonthlyEdward Bagshawe Edward Bagshawe was a very creative and innovative English magician. The Magical Monthly ran from October 1923 until September 1926 (Volume 3, No. 13), more than 600 pages strong. From the foreword to the new magazine: In presenting for your delectation the first issue of The Magical Monthly, a few words regarding our aims and policy may not be out of place. The publication will be an absolutely independent one; our sole aim in presenting it is to offer, for professional and amateur magicians alike, an up-to-date and promptly issued magical magazine, devoted exclusively to their interests.... ★★★★★ $12 Travel ChaosGraham Hey Tricks about travel and more. Here's a selection of cool self-working magic and mentalism tricks perfect for close-up and stand-up. For example: The spectator freely selects a luggage label that has a holiday destination written on it. When a world map is opened, their chosen destination is circled. Or how about this: A selection of postcards is shown - they're moved from the back of the pile to the front. When the spectator calls 'STOP!' the very next postcard is the only one with a hand-written message on it. Or: Three luggage labels with vacation destinations written on them are... $12 Sam's Scrapbook 2Sam Dalal ... sources being books like Hoffman's Modern, More and Later Magic, the many excellent magical secrets series and other illusion books by Will Goldston, and of more modern times, the World of Magic trilogy by Jack Hughes - with an effort to some times modify the props and their use to present day performing requirements.
But I also made and marketed a few hundred "originals" that I created or adapted. When I started in magic, most magicians were expected to have some handicraft abilities, as a lot of the literature available on the subject required the ability to construct the props... $3.99 The Sign of the FourArthur Conan Doyle ... the anonymous sender of pearls. It is an intriguing case that Holmes and Watson happily accept...
The most exciting scene of the novel is what could be called a 19th-century version of a high-speed 'car chase', except done with fast steamboats on the Thames. It has all the drapings and features one would expect in a chase scene in an action movie today. While this is certainly not the first chase in literature it may be the first chase using for that time modern high-speed transportation. In this second out of four novels about Sherlock Holmes and Watson, Arthur Conan Doyle has Edgar... $7.90 100 Mysteries for Arm-Chair DetectivesJ. C. Cannell Based on actual crimes and mysteries investigated at Scotland Yard. This is a fun read if you like short problems of deduction and observation. While most of them are not locked room problems, there are two of them in this collection, #34 and #88. One of them states that on an express train, a girl was found dead in a third-class compartment. Her head was badly injured. A violent blow had caused her death. The train had not stopped during the journey and the girl had occupied the compartment alone all the way. Magicians will be able to solve some of the mysteries more easily because they... $10 Original Card MysteriesEric F. Impey Excerpt from the Foreword: The majority of the effects described in this book are absolutely new, and require a minimum amount of skill. I have been using many of them for a considerable time, and they are all original with me, except one. So I sincerely hope that others will not "invent" them in a few months time. In this publication, Impey describes how to wax together pairs of cards, a technique that Dai Vernon would later refine with rough-and-smooth to create his famous Brainwave deck. Judson Brown is generally credited with inventing the basic brainwave-type effect using Impey's waxed cards... ★★★★★ $12 DieversionUnknown Mentalist ... adapted to be performed over a voice phone call or on a virtual show.
FEATURES : There are no sleights, no preshow, no stooges or instant stooges. No threads or magnets or electronics are involved. There is no DIY or arts n crafts work involved for the dice. There are no secret writings, no one aheads, no memorization. There are no peeks or any kind of tearing involved, no switching and nothing is spoken or written down by the participant. All you need to perform this is the performer, participant and a single ordinary die. For similar interesting dice principles, effects and routines,... $20 Your Thought Is MineUnnamed Magician
A truly remarkable coincidence. A deck is shuffled and divided into two halves. The spectator thinks of a card in their half, the magician thinks of a card in his half, and when the two halves are simultaneously dealt through, the two cards turn up at the same time!... $10 Backs to the FutureScott F. Guinn A spoof prediction routine with a surprising magical ending. Here's a really fun, entertaining, and surprising card routine for magic or mentalism performances from a longtime pro, Scott F. Guinn. After introducing a folded paper labeled "My Premonition," four different spectators each select... $10 Layne's Nightmare: a fish storyJay Jennings A close-up routine for the people in your audience who'd rather be fishing. (Psst! I don't want to say this is self-working, but...) The effect: Sixteen fish cards are dealt face down in a 4x4 grid, and your helper is asked to choose a number from 1 to 4 so you can eliminate that fishing spot. Remove all the cards from the chosen column and row, and show a few of the faces to display what trophy fish were not caught. Ask them to eliminate another fishing spot by choosing from the rows/columns that are left and remove those cards, again showing some of the world-class fish that weren't... $10 Wehman's Wizards' ManualW. E. Skinner ...
$19.50 Shattered RealityLance Richardson ... then restored. In this unique effect, a framed mirror is inspected and touched by an audience member moments before the magician inflicts a damaging blow, making the mirror shards spill onto the floor. When the damage is done, the magician pulls back the protective cover, revealing that all but one of the mirror pieces have been smashed out. A quick shake of the frame makes the last piece fall to the floor with that all-too-familiar sound of broken glass echoing through the theater. After the magician picks up the broken pieces in a bag, he flips it open, then reveals the fully restored...Michael Close ... to spend time with Harry was a treat and an education. Mike had always kept magic purely as a hobby. His profession was (and still is) music and he wanted to avoid having to do magic for money. Nevertheless, in 1978, Mike took a job at Max and Erma's Restaurant in Indianapolis and performed there one night a week for seven and a half years. In 1985, his music career began making more demands on his time and he dropped out of the magic scene. In June, 1988, Illusions Restaurant opened in Carmel, Indiana and Mike was asked to be part of the magic staff. In a matter of months, Mike was put in charge of the magicians there and has been performing ever since, working five or six nights a week.
...Igor Smirnov ... and my rating increased quite quickly. At the age 13 after winning several international tournaments, I achieved the title of International Master.
Then I started to play mainly in the adult tournaments and realised that it wasn't so simple to win there. I trained hard for about 6-8 hours a day, had many coaches and read a lot of chess books. But then it came to me that a lot of new information wasn't making my game stronger! The coaches offered me loads of different training systems, but they didn't know the answer to this simple question. "How to make real progress and start to play chess better?" No one said to me: "I know exactly what to do and I can guarantee your progress." ... W. G. Magnuson ... he released poorly typed manuscripts of his mental, psychic and pseudo-hypnotic secrets. Over his lifetime, he released more than 125 of these manuscripts. His business flourished from the 1920s to 1970s. The original manuscripts were mimeographed and are extremely rare nowadays. If you can find one, the writing is usually faded and hard to read. His most famous work was called: The Twentieth Century Mindreading Act and was released in 1935.
Later in life, Walter G. Magnuson became Reverend Walter G. Magnuson, and started giving spirit readings. He was the co-organizer of Rockford Illinois' Largest Spiritualistic Church, giving readings in the Rockford area. Many manuscripts he released... Topic: ComputersThe computer is today by far the most versatile and most powerful tool. It touches literally every aspect of our lives. It is therefore crucial for everyone to have the skills and knowledge to use computers most effectively. For one this means becoming the best programmer and developing new software. For another one it means building and designing hardware. And for most it will mean running and using various programs and software packages. Topic: Science & Math TricksScience often appears like magic. Even some small physics or chemical experiment can be utterly baffling. Same is true with math. Some of the best self-working magic tricks have a mathematical foundation at heart. That is why particularly in the past magicians were often exhibiting the latest advances in science and technology as entertainment. For example, Robert-Houdin's "Heavy and Light Chest" was a simple application of an electromagnet. The projection of images and later moving images was mostly done by magicians in the early days of photography and film. ★★★★★ $4 The Magic ArtDonald Holmes ... were to form "a complete library on the Art of Magic." Unfortunately, he abandoned the undertaking (for what reason we do not know) after writing and publishing the first volume, which he called The Magic Art. It is a book with which the average young magician of today is wholly unacquainted, but one which he should put on his reading list for early attention.
The "meat" of the book is found in Chapters 2, 3, and 4, which cover exactly two hundred pages. So far as we know, Chapter 2 is unique in magical literature. It is called Some Accessories and Artifices of General Utility, but it is... ★★★★★ $15 21 Card TricksPeter Duffie This book has nothing to do with the "21 Card Trick". However it features twenty-one of the best card tricks Peter Duffie has to offer. Three other individuals significantly contributed to this book. They are Roy Walton, Gene Maze and Marty Kane. It can get hardly any better when it comes to cards. 1st edition, 2000 BETWEEN THE ACES: Very slowly you deal cards onto the table and a spectator stops you anywhere. He notes the card stopped at - it is placed on top of the deck and the dealt cards dropped on top with absolutely no moves. Despite the fairness of the procedure, the selected card is now... ★★★★★ $12 Kato on EstimationHideo Kato ...
★★★★★ $5 Five Mind Reading Acts Exposedunknown Five Mind Reading Acts Exposed was written prior to 1940 and upon reading the 12 pages of instruction you realize that everything old is new again. Although all the routines are designed for a two person act some of the ideas contained can be adapted for a single performer. No author is credited and it is a compilation of secrets of acts of that era. Act No. 1 is the reading of dates on coins sealed in envelopes. Today’s mentalists could combine this with Psychometry and Cold Reading to use as a feature in their act. Act No. 2 is a preamble to the question answering act of Falkenstein.... ★★★★★ $4 Ambi-ga-boxBen Morris-Rains ... provided that you have the patter for it. Since no patter is given. Overall, I use this routine here and there. The last phase does get amazing reactions, and you could use it in other effects. If its 20$, I would say *get away*, for 4$, then its a very good buy. Just don't have lunch for a day. Displaying 1273 to 1296 (of 1673 products)
