Silk in Apple

Silk in Apple by D. Angelo Ferri...
lesson in the use of the eyes as a misdirective tool.

All that is required is an apple, which has been cored out prior to the performance, a paper napkin(s) to cover the apple, a ribbon silk or a serpent silk, and that certain device most magicians have two or three of. This routine employs an impromptu assistant so there is plenty of opportunity for entertaining interaction.

This manuscript includes photographs and an instructional video clip.

Open Prediction

Tommaso Guglielmi
Open Prediction by Tommaso Guglielmi

This is one of Gugliemli's several methods for the open prediction that he is glad to offer all magicians. It should be noted that this effect does not respect all of the conditions set by Stewart James for his “51 Faces North”. This is a good Impromptu solution. It relies on sleight of hand to reach a 100% successful ending, but Tommaso tried to design the method to hide the “dirty work” and he has included 6 different techniques to hopefully meet the needs/styles of everyone. This method will require some practice before the performer can swiftly and confidently present the effect. ...

Untold by Peter Duffie

Fifteen clever tricks with cards.

SEVEN DOWN: Seven Down was inspired by Ed Marlo's "Magic Seven."

DRAW POKER: This trick came about as a direct result of a conversation with Roy Walton, who had a card problem which he quickly solved and published in OPUS.

FALLING: The following routine is based on Roy Walton's superb "Cascade". Here several Jumbo cards are caused to mutate in a bizarre and visual manner. This was originally called "The Mutant Hand," but I changed the title for this ebook in view of the recently marketed Cascade variation "Mutanz" to avoid confusion with names.

I genuinely enjoyed Ben’s handling of torn and restored and will defiantly use it once or twice. The added value that it is completely impromptu, can use a signed card and has an incredibly deceptive and simplistic handling really helps sell the effect.

Although this is not the most groundbreaking of torn and restored cards, I think it is a brilliant approach to a quick “in and out” handling of the effect that can be performed...
