Displaying 1537 to 1560 (of 1648 products) $12 How To Remember Names and Faces: How to Develop a Good MemoryRobert H. Nutt This classic work on memory, first published in 1943, is really two books in one!
The first part, The Mental Filing System, will teach you how to keep up to 100 things straight in your memory. This is taught in a clear, easy-to-understand manner, using many real-world examples of both the benefits of using the system, as well as the dangers of an untrained memory.
The author taught many of his memory courses in person, and this provides both value and a good knowledge of the questions you're likely to have.
The second part, How To Remember Names and Faces, deals in detail with the problem... ★★★★★ $10 Keep'em LaughingAldo Colombini The success of my previous comedy books ‘almost’ forced me to collect another incredible bunch of one liners and other funny material. The best compliment I had regarding these publications came from Ed Eckl (co-publisher of Precursor magazine), who said, “In the 60’s we had Robert Orben providing comedy material, now we have Aldo Colombini.”
Robert Orben was and still is my ‘hero’ and my mentor even though we have never met; so the words assume an even greater meaning to me. Here’s the content: HILARIOUS ONE LINERS, IRONIC AND FUNNY GRAFFITI, SMART HECKLERS REMARKS, and... ★★★★★ $5 36 Tricks With Fa-Ko CardsRonald Haines ... dignity they deserve!
There is much, MUCH more to being a magician than knowing the secrets of tricks, and as we said before, these tricks are definitely not "self-working." There is much that YOU have to do! Cards must be added to your regular pack, and after the effect, secretly removed. Or, one pack must be "switched" for another. The original FA-KO Pack advocated doing a routine of tricks with the gimmicked cards. We feel that it would be much better to use them as individual tricks — the little "miracles" possible by the use of gimmicked cards will add greatly to the other tricks... ★★★★★ $10 On The RopesAldo Colombini A compilation of wonderful rope routines. A funny cut and restored rope routine for kids; a unique routine in which six loops are counted, three of these loops link together and the other three change into a giant loop with three knots (no gimmick); and Rope and silks combination.
There are also two rope routines by Ronald Dayton (a comedy effect and a rope through neck effect) and more. 84 illustrations. No gimmicks and all the routines except the first one use the same rope over and over again (no cutting).

What would you do without your props, without special wallets, magnets, glue, scissors, thumb tips or nail writers – literally without anything?
"Wow, what inspired thinking. One is tempted to deliberately lose his luggage just to give these routines a spin. Highly recommended!" - Ben Harris

Around the same time he phased out of performing, and started his own magic manufacturing business (Funtime Innovations). Today some 35+ years later this business is one of the largest in the world, for making items (not just selling them) with a few 100 people working full time on magic props distributed around the world. To date his company has made more than 2000 varieties of props for Magicians.
He has created several magic effects, and written a dozen odd books, edited several others and authored 1000s of instruction sheets and manuals for the props... $35 InsideDaniel Madison ... irrelevant or impractical, routines built from no more than combinations of pre-existing sleights, and ideas, that I simply didn't want to represent my most personal project to date.

If you like these type of effects also make sure to check out Assertive Positive Negative by Scott F. Guinn.
Effect: You place a folded business card - a prediction - on the table in full view. Your spectator is asked to imagine three coins. They are then asked to select one of the coins, toss it in the air and catch it, calling heads or tails. Let's imagine they call tails!

Hull called it originally the "Cards Mysterious". Even in this early publication he complains about unauthorized copies being sold by unscrupulous dealers. A hundred years later and nothing has changed. We still have magic retailers and manufacturers producing and selling illegal and unauthorized copies of magic products.
One thing has changed though over the last 100 years - the use of Bicycle cards. Hull writes:
One of the objections to the trick is that the design of the backs are that of Bicycle... ★★★★★ $3 The RnB Project: Oddpen PredictionRaphaël Czaja An effortless Open Prediction effect!

"Have you ever been in a situation in which you regretted not following your first intuition? Intuition is a very intriguing concept for scientists and psychologists. It provides us with beliefs that we cannot necessarily justify. Today, we're going to re-enact one of those experiments and hopefully this may lead to a successful ending."
You deal the cards face down one by one on the table as you ask the spectator to tell you to stop when she 'feels' it... ★★★★★ $20 Rovi: The Story of a Man and his MagicRichard Owen ... Table of Contents

Close-Up to the Point (for resale)Peter Duffie This was Peter Duffie's first solo book published on the heels of his hugely successful Alternative Card Magic and Contemporary Card Magic.

He explains, "Those are a few of the wrong predictions I've made in the past. Since then, I've learnt to keep being positive. For example, this one was wrong at the time it was made, but what if it was just right today?" You move this one aside and pocket the rest.
A spectator selects any two-digit number up to 50. The deck is dealt accordingly to make up a card, selecting a value and a suit. Despite the huge range of possible outcomes, the prediction that... ★★★★★ $7.50 Cold Reading Lecture 2012Paul Voodini In March of 2012, Paul Voodini was employed to give a 2 hour lecture on cold reading to the drama department of one of England's finest universities. The head of the drama department was perhaps hoping for an explanation of cold reading followed by the usual debunking of psychics as frauds who employ nothing but 'cold reading'. This, however, is not the lecture the university received!
While explaining in great detail what cold reading actually is (because, as you'll be aware, there is a lot of misinformation out there), Paul also went on to tackle the subject of genuine intuition. Perhaps... Displaying 1537 to 1560 (of 1648 products)
