This is the largest collection of U. F. Grant illusions and illusionettes every assembled. It took Devin Knight several years to compile this collection. Grant wrote a few books on illusions such as: 15 Great Illusions, Chinese Magic and Illusions, Modern Levitations, Victory Carton Illusions, Grant's Illusion Secrets, and many others. However, most of the illusions in this PDF were not included in those manuscripts.

Over the years, Grant sold many manuscripts that just contained one illusion along with building plans in most cases. (Some of these were released by Percy Abbott in his catalog without credit to U. F. Grant.) This compilation is a collection of those plans released by Grant and also in the early...

Here, Chris Wardle explores the use of long and short cards (Svengali Deck style) for mental magic presentations. Whilst initially he gives some background to the Svengali deck and how to make and handle one, some routines use variants on the deck and several don't use playing cards at all. There are thirteen routines from Chris plus some additional commentary and a bonus routine from publisher Paul Hallas. Chances are after reading this you'll not think of the Svengali deck in the same way again.

Since the appearance of this booklet (his third) Chris authored Magic For Everyone (2006) and...

"Much more than a mere gambling expose, Catch 33 is almost an act in itself! Twenty-first Century magic needs more brains like yours." - Guy G.

3 cards. 2 of them lose. 1 wins.

"..simple! "... Or so your audience thinks.

Each time he plays the game with you, your spectator falls into subtle traps you've set. He receives an authentic lesson on the con game that is not a game at all. Using beautifully choreographed sequences, you continually manipulate your spectator into choosing the wrong card. He just can't help himself.

Perform this routine surrounded; at a restaurant, trade...

Richard Kaufman

• Completely new and flabbergasting effects with Tarot and Bicycle cards.
• A mysterious message that Aleister Crowley, occultist and Satanist, wrote in 1947 (and then immediately thereafter slumped over dead), here finally explained.
• The appearance of impossible poker hands (odds of success, one in over one trillion, three hundred billion, but you beat those odds).
• A method for stacking a deck in Mnemonica or Aronson order or Stebbins order (or any order!) that takes less than two and half minutes to complete (there is no faster method).
• A revolutionary new method for marking cards. ...

The magician then, from behind his back, brings forward the deck in a face-down position with one card sticking out of it. He hands that card to the spectator, asks them to name their selected card for the first time, and then invites them to flip the card over ... and it is none other than their selected card. (The rest of the cards could be examined if desired.)

The owners of Brain Knewmerology can get this ebook for half price.

A participant mentally chooses a precious stone. Another participant mentally chooses any day of the week. The performer not only divines both these thoughts but also deduces some related thoughts as well.

An absolute reputation maker in the right hands. This is a more advanced mind reading routine when compared to my Brain Knewmerology. It is still more impossible and stunning from the audience point of view.

Nothing is spoken or announced by the participants.

And it possesses the same set of rare qualities.

I am very pleased with this release; although, I was reluctant to release it at first. This has been one of my prized secrets for the last few years. As far as I know, this effect is original with me. The method is new. I have never put this in print before or taught it in lectures. The secret is revealed here for the first time.

The effect is straight to the point and is 100% impromptu. Unlike some mental effects, there is nothing confusing to the spectator. It is easily understood by spectators of any intelligence or age. It is perfect for those times you need to do something and don't have...

Paul has simplified Marlo's handling...but it is every bit as strong as the original routine...even stronger. Important! This effect is completely broken down, step-by-step, with notes, hints, and performance tips that...

This is the first part of Vernon's famous Inner Secrets of Card Magic series. It includes notable work on color changes. In "Dai Vernon's Colour Changing Pack" Vernon provides the proper motivation for the use of the Hindu Shuffle: showing the back color of the deck. "Emotional Reaction" is an example of a subtle and cunning use of a key card. Probably the best effect in this volume is the "Notis Stop Trick".
