The Lost SpecialArthur Conan Doyle
The word 'special' in the title refers to a special train - a privately hired train. This is a train a railway company inserts into its regular schedule when somebody pays for the expenses of the locomotive, wagons, and staff to operate the train. It is essentially the equivalent of chartering an airplane at a time when there were no airplanes.
This impossible crime story concerns the baffling disappearance of a special from the London and West Coast Railway Company on its journey from Liverpool to London on 3rd June 1890. Besides the train crew of driver, fireman, and train guard the only... | $2.99 to wish listPDF |

Tom Robbins wrote, in one of his books, 'Using Words to Describe Magic is Like Using a Screwdriver to Cut Roast Beef.' This is how I feel when trying to describe the Real Magic within the pages of Lunarcy." - Don Theo III
"I have started reading this and I can highly recommend this as sister companion book to my cloud book. Using both of these books you can create the reputation that you control everything in the universe, just like the wizards of the past." - Devin Knight

PsychoportationDevin Knight Effect: Teleport a borrowed driver's license under near impossible conditions.

He hands you his driver's license which is placed inside one of the manila envelopes. The performer marks a large 1 on the front of the envelope. This envelope is then placed inside a larger window envelope where it is seen through the clear window. The window envelope is then clipped closed with a paper clip and finally placed inside a clear plastic bag and given to the... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish listPDF |

 Don started his magic career in the late 60's working at the Yogi Magic Mart in Baltimore MD, his home town, owned by the notable Phil Thomas. From there he moved to side shows and later he was inducted by David Walker as svengali pitchman. Don has worked as pitchman for more than 30 years and is considered the best svengali pitchman alive today.
The svengali pitch was originally created by Mickey MacDougall in 1935. In the 1940s S. David Walker learned the pitch directly from Mickey. And Don learned the pitch from David. Don is therefore in the direct line of the svengali pitch ancestry. | |

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been made on selling the humble Svengali Deck and yet few people ever learned the inner secrets of how to pitch the deck successfully. This DVD fills that shortage.

The Jam AuctionDon Driver There is no better demonstration of applied psychology than the Jam Auction, and Jack Nyberg is the recognized king of that money-making business. This is the ONLY video of Jack’s two-hour pitch from start to finish. Jack starts by building a tip and then, over time, has about 25 people standing in his tent for two hours waiting and wanting to give him money. Filmed on location with a hand-held camera this is unlike anything you’ve ever seen when it comes to crowd control, creating customers, and getting them to buy.

Tricks like Two To Divine, "Blackie Is With Us!" and Conjure Bones have plots that seem to have jumped from the pages of depression-era pulp magazines like Weird Tales or Adventure. But don't just take my word for it. Endfield's legacy is hailed by none other than his former student and conjuring virtuoso, Michael Vincent. It's easy to assume that Vincent praises his former teacher's work out of a sense of loyalty or rose-colored nostalgia, but that would be a mistake. He praises... | ★★★★★ $19.90 to wish listPDF |
