A set of 6 loaded dice (to throw the numbers 1 to 6), plus two matching ordinary dice which you will find many uses for in magic routines. These dice appear just like normal dice (about 5/8 inch cube). Yet they are specially designed and loaded so that they will throw the required number or total with varying degrees of certainty (even 100%) depending on the way they are handled.

Yet they are specially designed and loaded so that they will throw the required number or total with varying degrees of certainty (even 100%) depending on the way they are handled.

Hand out a two foot ribbon for examination.

Invite your spectators to pull on it and to verify that the ribbon is absolutely ordinary.

Now show a deck of cards with a hole through the upper left corner. 52 cards, 52 holes.

Explain to your spectators that they will soon pass the ribbon through the 52 cards and will tie a knot so as to completely imprison the entire deck.

Have a spectator select a card and show it to the others.

The card is shuffled back into the deck.

As mentioned at the beginning of the trick, the spectator now passes the ribbon through the deck and ties a tight knot - even a double knot, if he wishes.

It is now totally impossible to change the order of the cards - a fact your spectators will willingly acknowledge.

Show everything from all sides to the spectators and hold the deck face up in front of them.

The deck is still there? The knot is securely tied? The chosen card is still in the deck?

During these three questions pass your hand rapidly in front of the deck and believe it or not, the spectator's card is now the face card of the deck.

Your spectators can immediate examine the whole setup!

How is this possible?

How can the chosen card escape from the center and arrive at the face of the deck while the ribbon secures the cards?

The most scrupulous examination will reveal nothing - the mystery will only deepen.

Imagine the following...

As soon as the spectator has finished his examination of the deck, you pass your hand once again over the spectator's card.

And once again, the impossible happens.

The spectator's card is now free! Yes, the spectator's card is the only card to have escaped the knotted ribbon.

Give the card for examination. There's nothing to see - the hole remains intact.

A passage of solid through solid - an unfathomable mystery !

Remember the following points:

• No manipulation
• A completely impossible appearance and escape.
• The gimmick does everything for you. Believe us, you will love it!
• The DVD explains different routines and different methods for presenting this incredible effect.

A beautiful piece of magical equipment you will be proud to own. One of the many effects is the magician shows the pan empty, he breaks an egg into the pan, adds salt, pepper and "vinegar", (it’s really lighter fluid). A match is dropped into the pan and it is seen to burst into flames. The cover is now placed in position to put out the flames. The cover is removed and the pan is seen to contain a live dove, small animal, popcorn, candy, rubber chicken or a cake that fills the pan. The load you produce is the size of the pan.

The granddaddy of the "Dove Pan family". Ideal for large auditorium shows, stage productions, etc. Will produce a small rabbit, small duck or even a small dog. Perfect for the "really big shows". Manufactured in Copper, highly polished, rests on three-rubber ball like supports. Lightweight but sturdy. Quick action release. Many routines are possible with Pans.

For centuries rumors have blossomed: tales of gurus, shamans, mystics and the secret powers of the mysterious "Third Eye" have fascinated the populous. But, can the myth's reality actually be demonstrated? Now, Ben Harris brings this fantastic mystery to life—creating a unique, freaky and visually-arresting effect—one slick enough for even the most savvy of today's street-wise performers.

HOLE IN THE HEAD has been one of the art’s most closely guarded secrets of recent times—it has fooled, amused and delighted some of magic’s biggest names. Using no mirrors or reflective devices and no stooges, HOLE IN THE HEAD is a radical and visual NEW PLOT—an exciting piece of street-theatre that simply MUST be experienced live! What’s more, it’s 100% practical! This is a one person—do anywhere—illusion.

In effect, the performer gathers a crowd around himself in a brightly lit, sunny spot. Discussing the amazing legend, he offers to open his own “Third Eye” allowing the sun to shine right through his head. As this would be too dangerous to observe directly, he suggests that everyone focus attention on his shadow. After some concerted effort, a small blob of light appears in the centre of his shadow head. Amazingly, this blob of light then grows larger at his command. To prove that it is no mere optical illusion and that the light does indeed pass through his head, a spectator is asked to wave her hand behind the performer’s cranium. Incredibly, when she does this, the actions are reciprocated in the shadow head—her fingers are clearly visible in the shadow hole! THE CONCLUSION IS INESCAPABLE—THE SUN IS INDEED SHINING STRAIGHT THROUGH A HOLE IN THE PERFORMER’S HEAD! The process is now reversed and the hole slowly closed. YOU CAN PERFORM THIS STUNNER VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE THE SUN SHINES. Complete with bonus handlings and clever ideas by Paul Harris and Michael Weber. YOU CAN EVEN OPEN A SPECTATOR’S OWN “THIRD EYE”!

"Bravo! Mind expanding magic, in every sense of the word!”
- MICHAEL AMMAR

"The rumors are true: Ben Harris does have a hole in his head. And it's surrounded by a brain filled with clever ideas, of which this one is delight."
- Max Maven

Ben Harris' INSTANT CARD APPEARANCE/CHANGE/VANISH

You've seen Bizzaro use this to amazing effect!

The classic handling from 1985! No need to use flap cards, rubber hinges, or any gaffs! Use a borrowed deck. Imagine: You've just performed several stages in your "Ambitious Card" routine. For one final time you place the "magic card" in the middle of the deck. The deck is placed face-down in the middle of the table. You show your hands empty. With a snap of your fingers you gesture toward the deck. Now, by simply riffling upward gently on the tabled deck's edges-and dribbling the cards back to the table-the signed selection instantly and visibly appears face-up, atop the deck!

You accept your well earned applause and feel cool that you've done this by mastering a simple and clever move, rather than having to fiddle with the faddish flap cards and rubbing springy gaffs that are so prevalent.

You simply used SUPER-FLIP.

This lovely concept was originally published in 1985 and it's "Ambitious Card" application caught favor with the card world of the mid 1980's. Since that time, the SFUC principle has grown making all sorts of effects possible with SUPER-FLIP. It is now possible to use the technique for:

A) Card Appearances
B) Card Vanishes
C) Visual Card Changes
D) Multiple Card Appearances (4 aces)

This 18 page PDF with clear illustrations teaches you the core handling so you can learn Super-Flip the CORRECT way. Forget those kiddie-tutorials on YOUTUBE. They are all WRONG. You can ONLY learn the "real work" right here. So, throw away the silly gaffs and use your skills and ANY deck!

Pages: 18 - 8.5" x 11" - illustrated - PDF Format

Four-of-a kind cards are shown and turrned face down. The back of each card is shown to be Blue.
The performer asks the spectator 'Which one of the cards had a Red back?'
The spectator replys with "None." The performer says, "Are you sure? I think you may be snowblind!"
The performer turns the four cards face down spreading them showing them each to have white backs!

Complete with special cards and instructions

A card is selected, signed and lost in the deck.
A blank card is shown and placed in a special holder.
VISUALLY, this card slowly changes into the SIGNED selection.
Combine with any knock out effect, give your audience a total K.O.
Use ANY poker size card

Easy to do! Self-working! BICYCLE!

NO sleights, a simple and incredibly powerful, multiphase routine that leaves audiences astounded at the miracle they just witnessed.

"The Poker Test is outstanding. I've enjoyed showing it to my wife and my daughters and look forward to showing it to many others. It just looks impossible. I love all the surprises."
-Johnny Ace Palmer

"I laughed, I cried, I lost ten pounds. The Poker Test changed my life"
-Chris Smith of Magicsmith

There is no better trick out there that can get your audience as involved like The Poker Test does, this is a trick that you are sure to take everywhere you go.

Phase 1: Observation

You ask the audience to participate in an observation test and to focus on the details of what they see before them. And the note that there are no extra cards in either hand, it is a fair test.

Phase 2: The "Easy" Question

You start by asking an easy question, which the audience can easily answer. And they answer correct in telling you the number of cards in your hand.

Phase 3: The "Hard" Question

You tell the audience that the next few questions will be harder than before. By asking what the bottom card was, you seem to confuse the audience, for this question was just as easy as the previous. But to everyone's surprise, a card has impossibly appeared where the blank card was held.

Phase 4: The "Harder" Question

Ask the audience to dig deep into their memory and remember what the color was on the back of the playing cards. But alas, the color of all five cards has changed! Just as openly and five times as amazing as the first change.

Phase 5: The "Hardest" Question

Now that all the cards backs have impossibly changed colors, its time to draw the audiences attention back to the faces of the cards. Asking them to recall what the other four cards were seems like an easy feat. As you slowly drop your hand down to reveal the faces of the said four blank cards, you now hold in your hand an entire Royal Flush!

Compiled and written by Ben Harris

Silent Running 3 picks up where the second volume, "Run Silent, Run Deep", left off: That is, it is brimming full of novel APPLICATIONS of both the CrossRoads and Silent Running principles. You NEED to be familiar with these procedures (as taught fully in the first two volumes of the trilogy).

Part One of this finale jumps in at the deep end with some stunning and clever contributions. Novel ideas including making an "X" appear on the back of any "thought-of card"* or applying the SR principle to GOSPEL magic or Ten Pin Bowling. OR: How about making a the name of a "thought-of"* card appear in the steam from a spectator's breath, or mind-reading a word written on the back of a card! This first section of the book also addresses new ways of both selecting a number and a suit during the Silent Running procedure. Lots of food for thought - great ideas and tweaks that you will apply.

Part Two is a full and in-depth essay on the CrossRoads/Silent Running principles from a thoughtful and deep-thinking friend, Mark Trudinger. Mark approaches SR from a disciplined "Marshall arts" background and explores previously unseen nuances. His quest is to give full control to the spectator, and that includes exactly what will happen with the "thought-of card"*. Prepare for a roller coaster ride and to learn several wonderful handlings/effects along the way.

Part Three presents a new force application (IONIC) based on Ray Hyman's original finger force from 1953. This quirky little adjustment has made the approach fit CrossRoads/Silent Running like a glove. Some hard-hitting applications are taught including "SILENT WITNESS" which is a solution to the "Golden Moment" as originally proposed in the CrossRoads book. (In effect, a card is placed face down upon the table. A spectator creates a card in his mind. No one else knows what it is. This card MATCHES the card placed on the table at the beginning of the effect). No card switches. It's a clever and VERY FAIR solution that we're sure will become one of your most requested pieces. Ideal for close-up, stage or anywhere. Special template to print out the "secret something" is supplied.

"RAZOR" is another standout in this suite of stunning effects. Imagine a spectator "thinking-of"* a card and then having HIM cut to his THOUGH-OF* CARD WITHOUT YOU ever touching the deck! You don't even need to know what card he thought-of* - it's AUTOMATIC! This WILL go into your "A" List!

(* all references to a "thought-of" card are to a "card generated by having the spectator create a card in his head" via the SR process).

WHAT THE PROFESSIONALS HAD TO SAY ABOUT SILENT RUNNING:
"This is so much more than just an effect. It is a powerful subtlety that is a must have for your mentalist toolbox."
- Banachek (USA)

"Crystal clear and absolutely mindblowing!"
- Martin Adams (UK)

"If you are seeking the holy grail of truly prop-less mentalism then you NEED to get this routine. Ben's thinking has always been unique and here he excels himself!"
- Marc Paul (UK)

"Silent Running describes a very clever principle that enables the performer to almost instantly ascertain the identity of a card merely thought of. The Card Stabbing routine made possible by the principle is the most powerful I have ever seen. I highly recommend Silent Running to serious students of the art as well as to professional workers."
- Bob Cassidy (USA)

"F*#%ing Brilliant!"
- Nathan Kranzo (USA)

"The Silent Running approach takes things into the realms of real mind reading. I love the newspaper card stab as it has the perfect combination of drama and impossibilty. Great stuff."
- Peter Duffie (Scotland)

"This is going to become the best effect of 2010 and possibly of the decade...The genius magic engineer Ben Harris has done it again."
- Chris Wasshuber (Lybrary.com)

"The perfect effect for those times when someone says,'Do Something,' and you have nothing with you. With this effect, you need only your mind."
- Devin Knight (USA)

"I'll definitely be working this, Amazing stuff."
- Dee Christopher (UK)

"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!"
- Marc Spelmann

Pages: 90 - 8.5" x 11" - Photo-illustrated - PDF Format

"The whole process is incredibly clean and works like a charm. It's a great step forward in prop-less mentalism..."
- Marc Paul

"Wow, what a tome you've created! I never imagined that this could lead to so many things..."
- Greg Arce

Banachek was certainly spot on the money when he said: "Silent Running is so much more than just an effect. It is a powerful subtlety that is a must have for your mentalism tool box!" This book is the proof of the pudding. Over 200 pages of exciting material from around the world.

Routines with cards, invisible dice, diaries, cell-phones, and more. Writing on cards, cards to pocket, transpositions, vanishing thoughts, and more. From close-up to stage, you will find some amazing material within these pages. Check out the contents:

Foreword by Marc Paul (with an include effect)

Introduction by Ben Harris (with three included effects)

Steve Shufton:

A Force In The Shadows
A critical examination of the Silent Running Procedure with the intention of providing the nuance and understanding to ensure a convincing execution.

Script Stripped
The bare guts of the script with commentary removed. Learn this!

Hands Off: Silent But Deadly
Steve's treatment of the Brainwave effect allowing the entire routine to carried out in the spectator's own hands. The performer NEVER touches the deck.

Speechless: Left Unsaid
Picking up where "Speechless" left off, Steve teases out extra nuances and proposes multi-key sets for simultaneous use.

Jamie Badman & Colin Miller:
(The Underground Collective)

Silent Past
A charming effect, complete with printable photos to add to your wallet. One of Jamie and Colin's classics, given the Silent Running Treatment.

Silent Present
Clever gimmicks allow mind-numbing mental transpositions of cards mentally selected from the CrossRoads Set.

Silent Future
Combining Silent Running with Greg Rostami's iforce has never been this sweet. You deserve an iphone, just so you can perform this!

Richard Busch:

SIR Richard Busch's Think-A-Card
Richard takes us on a different journey, one with a "nod to the dodge" and a different brand of digital finesse.

Ben Harris:

Silent Travelers
Two "thought-of" cards appear in an isolated packet. A full-on routine worthy of stage or formal presentation. Explores the use of an Osborn inspired count procedure.

Small Packet Concepts
Taking advantage of "small packets" and their inherent particulars-in combination with the CrossRoads Set-to create new effects.

Vanishing Thought
Continuing to explore "packet concepts" the author details further applications and ideas, this time, with the Elmsley Count at the heart of matters.

The Deck At The Other End (DATOE)
The polar opposite of the CrossRoads Deck. Instead of any card in the CrossRoads Set being absent, to the count of 51-with this deck-there's always a duplicate of the "thought-of" card, and a count of 53!

Easy Transposition
Another "feature" routine that plays wonderfully on stage, formally, or under casual performing circumstances. Possibly one of the easiest and most convincing transpositions of a "thought-of" card (this side of the CrossRoads).

Headway
A wonderful property of the Deck At The Other End is revealed and it's uses pondered. Imagine having a duplicate of ANY "thought-of" card, immediately at hand. Well that's what this is all about-that kind of POWER.

R.E.M.
The Headway principle is applied to create a formal and powerful "simulation" of the acclaimed "Berglas effect." A card is "thought-of" and any number between one and fifty-two is named. You don't need me to tell you happens next...

Neuro-Pathway
This is a new tactic for Direct Mind Reading (Silent Running, 2010). It eliminates what some considered an "iffy" bit, and leads you directly to the specifically "thought-of" card for a full-on "neuro-blast" of a finish.

Claude Imperiale:

Silent Dice
An expanded CrossRoads Set to match the numeric options offered by two imaginary dice. Play along...

Silent Faro
An impromptu method for setting any borrowed deck for a lovely demonstration of pure thought reading. Using Faro shuffles, of course.

Isaac Louie:

Silence of the lambs
Having your entire audience turn their cell phones OFF (as part of a routine) is sheer genius. And, that's just the beginning! Crazy and effective magic!

Jason Messina:

Waking Dreams
Months, days, and events (lucid dreams) collide in this wonderful application of Silent Running Principle to the "Diary Effect." So many possibilities revealed here!

Ran Pink:

The White Room
Just you and the spectator, sitting in an "all white room". She is asked to imagine the walls of the room changing color...

ICAINU
"Imagined Card at Imagined Number Unspoken". The title says it all. This turns The White Room into a physical entity, with cards in hand.

Christopher Taylor:

Silent Solstice #1
Mentalist and electronics wizard, Christopher Taylor saw a perfect match of his Solstice Wallet to Silent Running. Here's the application and related ideas.

Bill Fritz:

Silent Solstice #2
Quite independently of Christopher Taylor (see above) Bill concocted his own mating of Silent/Solstice. From an entirely different angle, and sweet as can be.

Bernardo Rodriguez:

Numb-blur
I have no idea what sparked this, but Bernardo decided to number the backs of his cards with pen, and apply Silent Running. Great result!

Hiro Sakai:

Notes on Silent Running
Hiro-san notes the language barrier with Japanese audiences and povides a well thought out solution and in depth routine.

Matthew Shepherd:

Screaming Walking
Matthew has a certain way of going about things. A certain attitude. Here's how he and the ideas in Silent Running meshed.

Robert Smith:

Pulse, Voodoo Finger, Edgework, Impromptu Invisible Deck, The Sharpie Principle, and more await you in this crazy and inspired BSmith section.

Francesco Tesei:

Silent Running For Stage
Italy's Francesco Tesei takes us behind the scenes with his full blown stage presentation. Lots of wonderful ideas here.

Mario Unger:

Thought-of Card To Wallet
A direct way to ensure your CrossRoads Set always falls into a "cop-able" position. Ideal for "Card To Wallet" workers.

Silent Frixion
The clever use of a FRIXION pen assures you have a magical "out" no matter which of the CrossRoads "pair" a spectator has chosen.

INCLUDED BONUS

Starman(Ben Harris)
Silent Running applied to the solar system, galactic events, and the special star maps of Dr Elmer William Bishop. Complete with "Star Deck" templates so you can print this out on your home/office printer.

Pages 208 - Perfect Bound

Half Dollar and 20 Centavo piece are given to spectator to hold behind his back. Magician asks for the half dollar which the spectator successfully hands over. Next you ask for the 20 Centavo coin. When the spectator opens his hand he finds that Mexican Coin has changed into a quarter and he can examine both coins to his heart’s content. Again, the only reason this is such a straight-forward miracle is due to the precision machining of the coins. Here’s one you’ll really use. Complete with bang ring. Easy to follow routine included.

This is the classic, the forerunner to all coin boxes. Simple in design and appearance, made from solid brass and perfectly weighted. Coins appear, disappear and penetrate through the box. All of the now famous effects are possible with this gem and no magician should be without an Okito Coin Box. Easy to follow routine included.

Jumbo 3 Inch Roosevelt Dime by Johnson Precision Magic

Jumbo 3 Inch Half Dollar by Johnson Precision Magic

A small brass ring that is used to open any of our locking coins that are half dollar size. By using this little device to open your gimmicked coins rather than shaking them in a glass, your coins will last a lifetime.

English Penny by Johnson Precision Magic

A card is freely selected [no force] from a deck. This selected card is signed by the spectator. This signed card is returned to the deck and the deck is mixed. The performer snaps his fingers over the deck and states "your card has vanished from the deck". Performer points to his right jacket pocket and says "wouldn't it be amazing if your card was in my pocket?" Spectator is asked to reach into this pocket and remove the single card. Spectator removes the card and turns it over.

Printed on this card are the words, "your card". Performer apologizes for the bad joke and says, "seriously, wouldn't it be amazing if your card was in my pocket?" Performer points to his left jacket pocket. Spectator agrees and reaches into performers left pocket and removes a single card. Printed on this card are the words, "sorry... Wrong Pocket". The performer points to his jacket breast pocket. Performer shows his hand empty and removes a single card which he hands to the spectator. This card reads "No! The inner pocket!".

Performer shows his hand completely empty and reaches into his inner jacket pocket and visibly removes the selected signed card!

Specially constructed props makes this miracle a reality!
Important: This effect requires NO PALMING!
Alternate ending also discussed.
Bob has been personally using this effect in his walk-around and table hopping work and the reaction has been phenomenal!

Complete with all necessary gimmicks and specially printed cards, photo illustrated instructions.

Have any card freely selected, signed and returned into the deck. The magician then removes any card from the deck. A GENUINE hole is punched through the incorrect card. Next a tag is passed through the hole and tied so the card is fastened to the tag, NO FAKE TAGS etc. IMPOSSIBLE Magic!

The spectator takes hold of the tag as the card is returned to the deck.

The spectator never lets go of the tag.

The deck is spread and the spectator pulls the tag from the deck.

The card FASTENED to the tag is now their SIGNED CARD!

This can be given away as a souvenir, the tag is permantley fastened to their card.

This dvd will teach you how to care and maintain your expanded shell coin gaff.

When I was young, my uncle Peter fooled me badly with a simple X-Ray Vision stunt. It played serious havoc with my developing mind. Pete had been using his X-Ray Vision to "see through" the table top in order to identify how many fingers I was holding aloft. He hit it time and time again. I was later crushed, when dad explained that he'd simply been coding the information, to my uncle, via surreptitious foot tapping. In due course it was I who was performing the demonstration, and I've been fascinated with the X-Ray Vision plot ever since.

My one man show, HELLucinations, is my core act-the one I fall back upon for all of my highly paid professional work. Purporting to replicate the demonstrations of the legendary Dr. Elmer William Bishop, the show commences with some direct and perplexing "card reading" and then quickly moves through a series of unbelievable-looking demonstrations of supposed X-Ray Vision. These, among other demonstrations, include "seeing through" a heavy iron box to reveal which card a spectator has reversed in the deck, AND IT'S EXACT POSITION in said deck. It is a demonstration repeated over and over, the conditions becoming more stringent every time.

The show, presented in all seriousness, can play for thirty minutes or an hour and a half. It leaves the audience completely convinced that I have the powers of X-Ray Vision-even with a full disclaimer. This, my friends, is real bread and butter stuff.

Secretly, I have always wanted a "casual" demonstration of these supposed powers-something that could be performed with any deck of cards, at any time!

And, that's exactly what we have here, in THE XRAY DECK. Steve has done a wonderful job, completely solving the problem-creating a practical, perform anywhere solution for the effect. He's then gone on to clearly and concisely detail every nuance of his clever and direct method.

The XRay effect
The performer removes a deck from the case and gives it a complete shuffle. He thumbs through the deck to demonstrate that all the cards are different, and the deck is complete. Placing the deck on the table, he instructs the spectator that he will leave the room. While the performer is gone, the spectator is to cut the deck anywhere with a simple cut, turn the card cut to face up, memorize the card, and put the cut off portion back on the deck, leaving the selection face up. The spectator is then to take the deck, put it in the case and seal the case, leave the cased deck on the table, and signal the magician to return to the room. The performer leaves the room, the spectator does as instructed and the performer returns.

The performer explains that he has developed an uncanny ability to see the hidden-almost a type of X-Ray vision. Without ever touching the case, the performer focuses an intense gaze on the boxed deck. Much to the astonishment of onlookers, he reveals the name of the card that has been inverted!

But now things get even crazier. He again focuses his gaze on the box, and finally calls out a number. Again, he never touches the box. He instructs the spectator to take the cards out of the box, and deal the cards one at a time onto the table face up, counting for each card dealt. Tension builds as the spectator nears the number called. When the number is reached, there is the spectator's face up card! Not only has the performer accurately perceived the chosen card in a deck sealed in a box, but he named the actual position of the card as well!

Features

• All can be examined-the deck is found to be normal in every way.
• Once in the spectator's possession, the performer never touches the deck again.
• The deck is complete with 52 different cards-no duplicates.
• Any deck can be used, the effect can even be performed impromptu with a borrowed deck.
• No stooges, confederates, peeks, electronics or mirrors.
• No gaffs or gimmicks.
• No prepared box, the deck and box are REAL.
• Can be done one on one, or for a group of any size.
• Astonishing, strong impact, mentalism at its finest!
  Once you fully understand Steve's approach, you'll be able to perform The X-Ray Deck anywhere.
  
  Here's what some professional mentalists and scholars have said about THE XRAY DECK:
  
  "X-RAY is one of the most fantastic effects I have come across. I like simple, easy-to-perform effects that require subtlety and sleight of mind rather than sleight of hand. This is an effect that Al Koran would have been proud to have invented. I can not wait to perform it and I know it is going to become a magical classic."
  - Martin Breese
  
  "Not only did I immediately absorb every last detail and nuance employed in the development of the X-RAY routine, I was blown away by the number of well known and respected names I encountered that had a collaborative role in its construction. X-RAY is an extremely powerful and entertaining effect. Watching Steve Shufton and Ben Harris concoct a recipe for a satisfying and delicious mental effect is as sweet as the frosting on my cake. Do I like it? You bet I do. Highly recommended."
  - Larry Becker
  
  "A wonderfully clear cut plot. This is very powerful and appears utterly impossible."
  - Marc Paul
  
  "Great idea, great routine and great thinking! Another winner!"
  - Greg Arce
  
  "Waaa?!?! That is fucking AWESOME!"
  - Jeremy Weiss
  
  "X-RAY is an amazing effect that also ENTERTAINS the audience. I know the professional performers, with dynamic personalities, will love X-RAY. However, I know X-ray will be a miracle, even when performed by average magicians, just for their friends."
  - Steve Dusheck

The famous and easy animated card that mysteriously moves AWAY from your fingers-zooming across the table. Examinable, before, during and after. One of the most devious uses of Elastic Thread ever created.

This effect is one of Ben Harris' most closely guarded secrets. Prior to releasing the idea to critical acclaim in 1999, Ben had been sitting on this for over ten years, using it privately for the most important occasions only. It is the perfect effect for Street Magic performances as it can be performed under the most stringent conditions-ANYWHERE! As you and the card can be examined at any time, it's perfect for "controlled conditions" psychic-style presentations.

If you are familiar with Ben's previous writings, you will know that he has always insisted that the very strongest magical effects appear to violate natural law. As an example, "levitation" has always been one of the magician's most powerful effects because gravity appears to be overturned. Zoom certainly appears to violate the laws of nature. While, not a "levitation", there is a moment when the stationary object "comes to life"- something intimate shared with the genre. Further to this, the effect appears perfectly natural and effortless at every stage of performance. The object to be animated is 100% examinable (even though it is cleverly gimmicked) and the lead-in and lead-out consist of perfectly normal actions in every way. The effect per se (between the lead-in and lead-out) looks exactly like real magic. In fact, nothing appears to be contrived at all.

Further more, the effect is tamper proof. It matters not if a testy spectator grabs your hands or the animated object at any point during performance. Nothing will be discovered and you can instantly pick up where you left off without any worries-isn't this just as it would be if you had real magical powers? These positive attributes make Zoom the almost perfect magical demonstration of supposed psychokinetic powers. Like all ideas that seem to actually end up having some merit, this one is-very simple. However, to meet all of the above criteria, Mr Harris has thought it all through in a thorough manner over the years. While nothing about Zoom is difficult, you do need to read these instructions very closely in order to absorb the details. Don't just read the secret and go off into the wild without really giving this a good work out in private. Learn the subtleties, understand the hows and whys before you take this into the public arena.

THIS IS THE SECOND IN A SERIES OF DVDS DEDICATED TO TRICKS AND ROUTINES USING ESP CARDS. NICK TROST HAS CREATED MANY ESP CARD ROUTINES.

Contents:
THE POWER OF THREE: Three predictions are placed on the table. A spectator deals the deck into three packets and the top card of each packet matches the predictions!

ESP DO AS I DO: A deck is shuffled and cut into two. A spectator picks a card from his half and you a card from your half. They match. You repeat this two more times!

THE ODD SET: You place six 'sets' of ESP cards on the table. Even though the spectator has a free selection of one of the 'sets,' he picks the ODD one!

ELIMINATOR: You place a prediction on the table. The spectator picks a few cards by cutting the deck and you eliminate all but one: It matches the prediction!

TRIPLE ESP MIRACLE: A triple miracle. Your three predictions match three mentally selected cards!

ES-PAIR-ITY: You deal cards in pairs face down on the table. A spectator selects two pairs. The pairs not selected are shown to consist of different symbols. Then two selected pairs match!

METAPHYSICS: Two spectators select a symbol each. You place the shuffled deck into your pocket and then you produce the two matching symbols!

ESP DUCK AND DEAL: Eight cards are shown (say four Circles and four Stars). The cards are mixed and dealt into two piles according to the spectators' wishes. When the piles are shown, all the Circles are in one pile, the Stars in the other!

GEO-METRICK: You place ten ESP cards face down on the table. A spectator deals his cards on the table on top of your ten cards dealt before. At the end, all the pairs match!

TRIPLE SYNCHRONICITY: A spectator picks three cards from a red-backed deck and you take three cards from a blue-backed deck. The three pairs of cards are all matching!

Running time: Approximately 46 mins

What can I say about John that you don't already know? John is one of the funniest entertainers I have ever seen! His comedy is funny and his magic is strong. What more could you possibly want from a performer?

On this DVD you will learn some of John's favorite routines that have made him one of the busiest magicians in the UK.

If you like good, strong, entertaining and funny presentations accompanied by strong magic and mentalism, you will absolutely love this DVD.

Here are some of the routines performed and explained on this DVD:

John's Tossed Out Deck

This is John's comedy take on a classic plot with one big difference: the deck is completely examined and shuffled by a spectator before the effect! The chosen opener for many mentalists has now got a whole lot better!

Tragic Square

John's opening effect. Under the guise of a record-breaking attempt, John rushes through a magic square at lightning speed (with a lot of humor along the way!) This really gets the crowd going!

Spelling Test (No Book Book-Test)

Wow!!! This is something really special. Comedy mentalism at its best! Your spectator merely thinks of a word (no force of any kind, no pre-show, your spectator never writes anything down or tells anyone the word that they have in their mind). Yet you have predicted in advance which word they will think of! This is a fun-packed routine with one heck of a killer ending!

Komedy Killer

This is John's famous presentation for the Kenton Knepper classic. John's story will have you in stitches. This is the ideal trick to have on you all the time. A 10 min routine you can do anywhere!

Collard

The ultimate comedy presentation for the Koran Medallion. This routine is worth the price of the entire DVD. A lot of the magicians that were present at the filming of this DVD have put this straight into their professional act! (Works well for parlor, cabaret, stage, or kids).

If the above routines are not enough to wet your appetite, this DVD also includes the following gems: Dodeckadeal: a great coincidence effect using a pack of cards; Spoon River: a great comedy spoon bending routine which gets people involved; Stapled: John's fantastic comedy torn and restored card routine; Chinese Choice: a fun-packed routine using 3 spectators and a night out at a Chinese restaurant, and A Clean Ring Vanish: if you need to vanish a ring at any part of your act, then this is the cleanest method you will find!

Disc One Running Time Approximately 1hr 49min

Oscar Munoz gives you everything you need to entertain an audience!

On this two DVD set, watch as Oscar performs his workers in his 50 minute show. The billiard balls, the rings, his 2 rope routine and more, plus a revealing conversation with Kozmo about developing comedy in magic.

You'll be amazed at what's inside!

Live Show

2 Rope Trick
This is a practical multi-phased rope routine based on the original "Sand-Sational" from George Sands. It begins with an amazing production of "ends" of the rope, and then transitions into a beautiful two-rope sequence. As ever, Oscar takes you through the routine step by step, giving all the nuances and touches on how to present this to a family audience.

3 Rope Trick
This is an exceedingly clever way of dressing up Professor's Nightmare. Rather than doing the classic trick in the same old way, Munoz shows two sets of ropes: one set has three ropes of equal length and the other set has three ropes of different lengths. Under test conditions and as visibly as possible, Munoz causes the sizes of the ropes to transpose.

Linking Rings
Learn this elegant version of the Linking Rings from a master of the classics: Oscar Munoz. Oscar's routine uses just three rings and it showcases several original, visual penetration sequences. The routine is best suited to music or light patter, and it's the perfect length for a family audience.

Billiard Balls
The billiard ball manipulation effect is a classic, yet good, PRACTICAL routines are almost impossible to come by. Oscar details a fun, comedic yet elegant routine that incorporates three color changes, a production sequence, and an elegant finale. He details all the props, moves, and routining that you need to perform this routine. Best of all, his routine is designed to look amazing from far away and quite close, so it's perfect for family shows or parlor audiences.

Balloon Swallow
One of the most popular parlor routines EVER is taught to us by Oscar, with all his professional touches. There is hardly ANYTHING that a magician can do to elicit a stronger reaction than to seemingly swallow a long balloon. This is the method to do it safely and entertainingly.

Mouse in Bag

And MORE!

My favorite 10 rope routines.

Rope Puzzle: Two different sized ropes become equal and then visibly change into one rope.

Missing Link: Two different colored ropes are linked and they unlink in the hand of a spectator.

Silk Sensation: You tie a silk around a rope and then it jumps free in the air!

Knotty Knot: A knot slides back and forth along a white rope and then changes color to red. The red knot slides along the rope and then, when untied, it is seen that it is part of the rope.

Rope In: A novel handling for the Professor’s Nightmare routine. Three different size ropes become the same length and then become one rope that can be tossed in to the audience.

Professor’s Math: A different handling for the Professor’s Nightmare with sliding and jumping knots. The rope at the end can be examined as well.

Sliding Knot: A knot slides along a piece of rope several times. No set-up, no fake knots; featuring the best Slip Knot ever and the amazing and unique One Hand Slip Knot.

Rope Thru Neck: A length of rope penetrates the neck, twice. You will use this effect forever.

Penetrating Ropes: Two regular ropes are joined together with several knots and then they magically separate.

Tighter Rope: Several effects tied together in a long routine featuring a length of rope and two silks.

All the routines use just regular rope and silks. No gimmicks!

Running Time Approximately 52min

An Elegant and Totally Commercial Version of a Classic

The "Chinese Linking rings" is a classic that every magician should know how to do. This new DVD makes it possible to learn one of the finest routines ever devised. Performed with only three rings (some moves use rings and rope), it contains a series of breathtaking visual effects that are as baffling as they are beautiful.

Running Time Approximately 20min

GREAT PACKET TRICKS USING SOME SPECIAL CARDS, VERY EASY TO FIND.

CONTENT:

B-O-X-!: A truly offbeat four King assembly!

TROUBLEMAKERS: Xs appear on the backs of four Jokers, then two of them jump to the faces of two other Jokers!

NO LONGER: Four double blank cards are shown. A mentally selected King appears on one of them. Then it is seen to be printed on all the cards. One is placed aside and the magician claims that the other three are no longer Kings. He proves it by turning the cards over. On their faces are printed NO LONGER KINGS! Totally examinable.

MIXED PERCEPTION: A card is selected from a packet of cards. The cards are mixed face up and face down. A click and they are all face down save the selection. The selection is then seen to have an odd colored back. As if that weren't enough, the faces of the other cards are now blank! Almost completely self working!

PRINTING ACES: Previously unpublished. The word ACE appears on four blank faced cards. Then the magician turns them into four real Aces!

MORE GREAT PACKET TRICKS USING SOME SPECIAL CARDS, VERY EASY TO FIND.

CONTENTS:

FRYER: One selection and four Aces make for a unique assembly effect with a killer kicker ending!

WHAT THE BLANK, TOO: An examinable Wild Card routine with four blank cards and four sections. Three of the blanks print copies of three selections before a huge twist at the end!

SKETCHERS: A three phase stunner! Three "stickmen artists" drawn on blank cards, sketch a selection on another blank card. The drawing then switches places with the selection. Finally, the stickmen all turn into mates of the selection!

DUPED: Based on Darwin Ortiz's "Jumping Gemini", this is of Cameron's favorite strolling packet effects! Can be done completely in the hands and instantly resets!

THE REGENERATORS: Previously unreleased. A corner of a card is selected from seven others. Let's say it's the Seven of Diamonds. A packet of Jokers is introduced. One of the Jokers turns into a Seven of Diamonds with its corner missing! The two pieces of card are inserted between the other Jokers and run through the packet. The Seven is now fully restored and can be examined!

After the huge success of the first DVD on tricks you can perform over the phone (CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW) here comes the sequel with new exciting stunning routines to perform over the phone (or for live audiences). This time, not only with cards but with other objects as well.

Here's the contents and the contributors: SIXTH SENSE (Werner Miller), THROW IT (Ken de Courcy), DELIGHT (Werner Miller), SIX CARD INTERLUDE (Peter Duffie), SANDWICHED (Tan Choon Tee), EVERYONE'S WIZARD (Werner Miller), SMART ELIMINATION (Rachel Colombini), TELEPHONE DIVINATION (Kinos), VERSATILE DEAL (Aldo Colombini), ASK THE CARDS! (Werner Miller).

Performed by Aldo Colombini. The amazing card magic of Richard Vollmer. Richard Vollmer, from France, is very well known to produce card magic based above all on subtleties rather than difficult sleight of hand. In this collection Richard gives us ten of his best routines. Study them and you will have incredible magic in your repertoire.

All the effects are performed with a regular deck of cards and most of them are totally impromptu.

CONTENTS:
DOUBLE CHAMELEON: You show four blue-backed jokers. A card is selected from a red-backed deck (say the KC). The jokers all become four red-backed KS's and then go back to being all jokers again!

AD LIBITUM: One card is selected and lost in the deck. Nine cards are SHUFFLED "ad libitum" and a spectator picks three of these cards. These cards find the selection!

PRETTY CLOSE TO A MIRACLE: An amazing card revelation based on a little known math principle that will blow you away!

SUM TRICK: Three cards are selected. Eight cards are dealt in four pairs according to the spectator's directions. These pairs added together give you 14. The three selected cards added together give you 14!

TELL-TALE DECK: A card is selected. You remove seven cards and with these cards you reveal the selection with three questions asked of the spectator (say it is the KH). Then, you produce the four Kings!

SPELL ALL: A very interesting idea to produce a selected card by spelling all the values of the other cards. Can be done in any language!

INSTANT SEDAPS: Five cards, Five to Ace placed in this order on the table, change order from Ace to Five!

TALK TO ME: Probably one of the best 'Lie Detector' effects ever, with just eight cards!

NEVER SAY DIE: A card is selected and replaced. Six cards are dealt on the table and one is selected by throwing an imaginary die. That card finds the selection!

VIDA PACK, PLUS: Based on a Stewart James concept, this is one of the most stunning revelations of a selected card ever. You will fool every one with this. Worth the price of the DVD!

Running Time: Approximately 49mins

Ten stunning packet tricks!

Contents:

THANKS TO WALTON (Cameron Francis): Great packet trick! Four black spot cards and four red spot cards. You switch out the red cards for the black ones, but you always have red cards. The other four cards are now the four Aces!

CHAMPAGNE (Aldo Colombini): Cards change around; assemble in order in one pile; some changing color as well!

DEATH ROW (Karl Fulves): A spectator picks a card and it is the only missing card to make a royal flush!

THE ROYAL FAMILIES (Peter Kane): You remove the twelwe face cards, which then assemble in J, Q, K order of each suit!

I'M A JOKER (Aldo Colombini): A small packet "Ambitious Card Routine" with two selected cards and a packet of Jokers. At the climax of the routine, the backs of the Jokers change color!

THE ACE COUNTS (Aldo Colombini): Four cards: AH, 2C, 3C and 4C. The Ace jumps to the top of the packet several times and it is then placed on the table. The other three cards are added (9) and the Ace changes into the 9C!

GUIDING LIGHT (Karl Fulves): A card is replaced in a packet. Another card is used to reach the selection (both cards are freely selected)!

Running Time Approximately: 37min

Performed by Aldo Colombini. Werner Miller lives in Vienna (Austria) and he has created hundreds of routines basically self-working. HIS APPROACH TO MAGIC IS UNIQUE, REFRESHING AND 'PROVOCATIVE.' STUDY 'BEYOND' THE ROUTINES AND USE THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED; YOU WILL BE HIGLY REWARDED.

CONTENTS:

FLIPDOODLE 1: You use the twelve face cards to produce an astonishing result that finds three of the same suit!

CHEERS!: You show seven cards with name of drinks on them and a prediction. A spectator selects a drink and you show that the prediction is correct... with a laugh!

ALL YOU NEED IS...: Strong routine suitable for couples, Valentine day, etc. A man and a woman shuffle two packets of cards with letters and a kiss symbol that spell LOVE. At the end, they are invited to KISS each other due to the result of the effect! You'll perform this forever!

YOUR CARD: A card is selected and lost. After a magic spell, you find the card as the only reversed card in a packet!

PAGE & LINE: A simple way to force two numbers for a book test or other effects. You will be given many ways to force different numbers!

A DOG'S CHANCE: Six cards with the spots of a dice on them and a money card. The spectator has six chances to find the money card but you will end up having it!

HEY, PETER!: A card is selected, say the 10C. Four cards are removed, one for each suit. The card of the same suit turns face down. The other three cards reveal the value of the selected card. Finally, the other three Tens turn face up in the middle of the deck!

OLRAM ARROWS: A unique effect. You show cards blank on both sides. One card is signed by a spectator and the cards are shuffled. Arrows appear on the cards pointing to the signed one!

STAND TO LOSE: Clever routine involving REAL money. Three boxes are on the table and a spectator picks TWO of them; they are empty. The final box that remains for you contains money!

Running Time Approximately: 36min

Like in the Part 1 DVD, the routines are basically self working. STUDY 'BEYOND' THE ROUTINES AND USE THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED; YOU WILL BE HIGLY REWARDED.

Criss Angel and Tony Clark have teamed up to create an amazingly simple revolutionary utility device that will allow you to create mind-blowing effects with a Chosen Signed Card from any Bicycle deck and there are no bulky devices.

The Chosen Signed Card:

-Rises out of the closed box while being held by your spectator
-Literally shoots out of the packet while under your foot
-Jumps out of a fan of cards
-Is blown out of the deck while it's spread across the table
-And a color change that must be seen to be believed

Comes complete with a step by step DVD featuring Criss Angel, Tony Clark, Luke Dancy and Sean Fields, who provided additional works.

This is the most versatile utility device that will allow you to create mind blowing unique miracles with endless possibilities.

This is a must-have for your magic arsenal.

This is RISEN!

Spread a deck of cards face up on the table and ask a spectator to look at any card. No one else could possibly know the card because he never touches or names it. You concentrate, then slowly but surely "read his mind" and name the card!

You can repeat it immediately and it will become even more baffling. In fact, even if several people simultaneously look at different cards you can read each person's mind and name his card correctly every time! John Kennedy's Mind Power Deck is so eerie, so impossible, your audience will be convinced that you possess a sixth sense.

Why is it so good? John Kennedy collaborated with master magician and mentalist Tim Conover to create the ultimate mind reading deck. It can be shown as a normal deck of fifty two cards and even be handled by a spectator without them noticing anything unusual. Yet you'll be able to "read their minds" correctly every time. And there's no system to memorize because the deck does the work for you. You'll absolutely love this trick!

Made in red-backed Bicycle playing cards.

METALISM IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND DVD SERIES FOCUSING ON THE ART OF METAL BENDING.

Menny Lindenfeld founded the METALISM project in 1999. Over the past decade, he has been creating a huge collection of hardcore metal bending miracles, unlike anything seen before.

METALISM
Episode | 01
Self Bending Paperclip:

In the 1st episode of METALISM - The Self Bending Paperclip - magic inventor, Menny Lindenfeld, teaches you two methods (gimmick and impromptu versions) to perform a powerful and highly visual metal bending effect with an easy-to-find object, a paperclip! Learn to fully control bend timing, pace and shape, while causing the paperclip to impossibly bend by itself.

• Original Concept.
• Highly visual effect.
• Only 30 seconds to prepare.
• Easy to master and perform
• Fully controlled bend timing, pace and shape.
• No freezing or heating.
• Packs small and plays big.
• Compatible with all common paperclip sizes.

The effect is you open a brand new deck of cards. You show the card in their new deck order. You shuffle and cut the pack and then tell a story using the cards. Despite the shuffles and repeated cutting of the cards throughout the routine all the cards turn up at the correct place in the story. Repeatedly as you tell the tale, you genuinely lose a card in the middle of the deck and find it again. You are able to include fancy cuts and flourishes during the course of the trick. Every card in the deck is used as you appear to show a mastery of the cards in a highly entertaining routine.

Suitable for beginners and experts. Includes Matthew's original "new deck order" gimmick cards.

Effect: You ask a spectator to think of any card. That's right, ANY CARD, which they name out loud. You then produce a deck of cards that's still in the box. There is no way that you could have switched any cards around, because the box is clearly sealed.

After removing the cards from the box, you start spreading the cards face up to the spectator. Unbelievably, amongst all the face up cards, there is just ONE face down card in the entire pack! After removing it, the spectator is baffled when he sees that it happens to be the one card that he named in the beginning!

Take it from us, this trick will absolutely STUN your audience!

A deck is removed from it's case, casually shuffled, and shown to be in no particular order.

Half the deck is turned face up and half is turned face down and the two halves are mixed together.

Spread face up on the table, the deck is seen to be a chaotic mess of face-up and face-down cards, suits, and valuse.

The deck is squared, then immediately re-spread: now, impossibly, not only are all the cards face-up, but the entire deck is in order, by value and suit!

Turn the deck into a clear plastic block. Just like that.

The deck that they had been looking at the entire time suddenly became a clear plastic block. They'd been picking cards out of it all night, shuffling it, watching the deck being shuffled... they even dropped a few cards onto the floor. And now they were staring at a big, dull, thick, block of PLASTIC where there used to be SINGLE CARDS.

It takes very simple misdirection, that's all.

The Omni Deck is so powerful that it could end any close-up set that you are performing. Friends will stare dumbly in shock, and all your other spectators will silently curse to themselves in disbelief when the truth sinks in.

This is not magic, it's a mind numbing miracle.

To see an live demo of someone using the Omni Deck in front of real people, check out Martin Sanderson's preview for "Corporate Close-up" DVD — Martin gives superb advice for using the Omni in this DVD.

These thumb tips are realistically designed by Vernet for all your magical routines. You cannot go wrong with the classics.

Legacy 2.0!!!!!!! This is a stronger IET, it stretches further, lifts more, and out lasts anything else on the market..... All this with same invisibility, and same price!!! we are always looking to upgrade our products and we met with the people in the elastic room and discussed how to make Legacy A better product, Legacy 2.0 is an advancement on what you are use to.......

Seb has finally found the unfindable... The Holy Grail of IET. The Journals of magic when read to generations ahead of us will define this moment as a gigantic leap forward in thread magic...The game is now changed! --Justin Miller

Are you tired of wasting your hard earned money?

Tying your own IET bands is the most economical thing to do, if you are a serious thread worker...

We wanted to offer the best Invisible Elastic Thread, We had this at one time but it was discontinued... We waited to see and spoke with a lot of sources to obtain the best IET to sell.......

WE FOUND NOTHING!

So instead of curling up and crying, we decided to have our own thread manufactured. We have had more phone conversations, emails, texts, and smoke signals... with as many manufactures we could and including some we needed a translator for.... We wanted to offer THE BEST IET THAT IS AND WILL BE. So after months of Back and Forth, we are ready to say,

LEGACY THREAD IS HERE!!!!!!!

What you have here is an IET that will out stretch, out last, and just out do anything that was, is, and will be on the market. This is the strongest IET we have seen... Can your IET float a solid silver walking liberty??? Haunted pack 3/4 the way down the deck? You get more thread for the money. This is not some cheap small spool of IET that you will burn thru as quick as you get it...... This is over 300ft of prestripped IET.

Make sure you pick up The Trinity System here so that you can tie your own Invisible Elastic Bands.

A match is ignited and pressed to a small black dot - a portal - is drawn on the palm of your hand. With your other hand, you slowly trace the path of ignition up your arm, across your chest, and finally to your mouth. You open your mouth - and a cloud of smoke emerges.

Created by Alan Rorrison, SMOKE represents simple, powerful magic. It needs no introduction. While intended for those 18 years of age or older, theory11 made every effort in production of SMOKE to ensure precise safety in operation. The smoke is harmless - made of organic compounds.

The DVD teaches a full routine utilizing the SMOKE gimmick entitled PORTAL by Dan White. You'll also see 6 other applications and concepts that you can build off of. The possibilities are endless.

Nothing was a higher priority for us than safety. We went above and beyond to ensure that the gimmicks provided were as safe, effective, and reliable as humanly possible. In fact, the gimmicks provided were THREE TIMES the cost of our original prototypes. We demanded quality - and we took our time to find it.

The smoke created using SMOKE is not actually smoke. Try to say that three times fast! But it is true - it is NOT smoke. It is actually vapor, made from organic compounds and completely harmless. It causes no irritation or discomfort whatsoever with responsible use.

A powerful, simple effect that is diabolical in function and applauded by some of the top names in magic. Enough supplies are included for close to a THOUSAND performances - and refills are available at any time.

SMOKE is intended for those 18 years of age or older. The type of gimmick included with this DVD has been clinically tested as safe, but use, operation, and performance of SMOKE is understood to be at your own risk. By purchasing this DVD, you acknowledge consent and understanding of this message.

De-Ja-Tu: A girl is thinking of a card and a man is invited to deal freely through a shuffled deck of cards. Amidst a cavalcade of comedy, the couple end up with a coincidence that is as baffling as it is entertaining; in short, a brilliant two-person mind reading effect that appears to happen between the minds of the spectators.

One Lucky Number: Serial divination given the Archer treatment! Imagine taking a usually smaller effect and turning it into a full stand-up performance piece! Think serial number, burnt & restored note and signed note in wallet; all rolled into one mega, magical extravaganza!

A well-constructed presentation and excellent method make this a logical, funny and baffling lock and key routine. Bet everything you have on the power of your auditory sense!

One envelope, one choice and one stunning climax!

Starstruck: Stars of Stage & Screen are the theme for this popular item from John’s act. A real lesson in how small props can be used to play a much larger routine that is clean and direct mindreading at its very best.

Stick with It: Multiple audience participation; several random numbers, one prediction and a stunning kicker that will knock their socks off!

No gimmicked notepads required, this is a really organic approach to the add-a-number plot using a small number of items to create a routine large enough to fill an entire stage.

Streetwise: John’s brilliant book-test that uses remote viewing as a premise, a street map for a prop and a series of revelations with different audience members; this is destined to become a classic and combines all the best elements of the best book test routines to take your audience on the ultimate mental journey!

Fourseen is one of Wayne Dobson's most popular routines from his TV and live performances.

A spectator is giving a large face-down playing card to hold as the magician explains that it's a prediction of something that is about to happen. Four cards are chosen and then mixed back into the deck.

One by one, the magician finds the first three cards in an increasingly impressive way.

There's now only the last card to find as the magician asks the spectator to turn over the prediction card. It's not the correct card! The magician opens the card out, showing each of the previously chosen cards. The final playing card is now opened out to reveal the last selected card in gigantic print!

EASY TO DO WITH INSTANT RESET

Would you like to have in your repertoire some killer mentalism effects that you can perform anytime, any place and without any props?

Well good news! Conversation As Mentalism contains tried an tested material that you can start to use immediately.

The Participant's experience of what occurs during these casual performance pieces is this: during the course of an interesting conversation, things take an odd turn and something strange and completely inexplicable happens.

All the effects have been designed with one outcome in mind - to amaze whoever you are talking to without the aid of any gadgets, gizmos or gimmicks.

Penn and Teller's hit show Fool Us had a simple premise: perform an effect that the duo couldn't figure out. Only two magicians fooled Penn & Teller in the initial show, and one of those was John Archer. He did so with a smart, simple routine called "Blank Night," and Vanishing Inc. Magic is proud to release it.

"Blank Night" comes complete with everything you need to add it to your next show. Five envelopes are shown and you explain that one of them contains a prize of $100 (use any amount or currency). Audience members choose four of the five envelopes but discover they have only won small consolation prizes (such as a $0 bill, or nothing at all).

Without any suspicious moves, the final envelope is clearly opened to reveal $100 inside! The bills are not folded and are seen clearly being pulled from inside the envelope. No body loads, envelope switches or thumbtips. "Blank Night" left both Penn and Teller speechless!

Comes complete with detailed, fully-illustrated instruction booklet, specially-manufactured envelopes and gimmicks. Envelopes come blank so that you can write whatever words you would like on them.

What's cooking? How about some great magic created by a collection of the world's best known card magicians? Jack Parker called upon some of his favorite magicians to prepare some excellent card tricks and Andi Gladwin elegantly served up each one in this fantastic hard backed book. There's something to tantalize every taste bud in this wide ranging menu, from exquisite starters to meaty tricks to sink your teeth into.

The Magician's Ltd Cookbook allows you to take a peak into the repertoires of some of the world's best card magicians. Stars such as David Acer, Allan Ackerman, Steve Draun, Dave Solomon have all contributed fantastic tricks that range from incredibly easy to knuckle busting sleight of hand - you'll definitely find plenty of great material for your repertoire.

The story behind this book is inspiring. In 1989 Jack Parker was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. After a year of treatment he was achieved a full remission from the illness and decided that he'd like to give back to give back to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust; a charity that helped him when he was most in need. He collected magic from 23 of the world's top card magicians and along with Andi Gladwin started to compile a book of that fantastic magic.

Given how much they helped Jack, proceeds from this book will be donated to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust to help assist their ongoing Leukaemia research and everyone involved in the Magician's Ltd Cookbook has given their time generously and for free.

The contributors are:

David Acer, Allan Ackerman, Jason Alford, Mark Aspiazu, Jamie Badman, Tomas Blomberg, Doug Conn, Paul Cummins, Luke Dancy, Steve Draun, Peter Duffie, Andi Gladwin, Robin Gunney, J.K. Hartman, Joshua Jay, Nathan Kranzo, Anthony Miller, Jack Parker, Mike Powers, Jon Racherbaumer, Dave Solomon, Paul Wilson and Tyler Wilson.

Wonderful magic. A superb cause. So get cooking!

Yet you can still duplicate the drawing with frightening accuracy!

"Some pads in mentalist, are clever, practical, and some even raise the bar, Ghost has not only done all of it, it has exceeded my expectations. The BEST pad ever made, you may think you know, but you have no clue... believe the hype, TRUST ME on this."
- Andrew Gerard

"The Ghost is the final answer in peek devices. It f*^#ed my brain, should be illegal."

On this volume, Jeff Sheridan shares some amazing effects suitable for parlor and platform.
This is innovative, cutting-edge magic that will excite even the most jaded audiences.

Cheek To Cheek - A packet of cards is repeatedly mixed up in face-up/face-down fashion yet rights itself - and the fact that it's repeated over and over again is a guaranteed fooler!

Dream Autograph - A selected, signed card turns out to not only match the performer's prediction - which has a different back color and is signed by the performer on the back - but is found to actually be the same card!

Thimbles - A cute manipulative interlude that can stand alone or be used to supplement a thimble routine you already perform.

Pipe Production - A full-sized tobacco pipe is produced from a silk, vanished into thin air and then reproduced under the fairest of circumstances.

Vanishing and Appearing Ladies Fan - Watch closely or you'll miss it! A fan is shown and opened. The performer closes it and it vanishes
instantly. Just as suddenly, it's back again!

Silk Through Silk - Two silks are shown. One is formed into a bag and the other is placed inside and then visibly pulled through the bottom of the bag. After the penetration, the other silk is shown to be completely solid.

Torn And Restored Card - A selected card is torn into four pieces, which are then inserted into the deck. With no false moves, the deck is ribbon spread to show the card face up in the middle - and completely restored!

Triple Prediction - An impromptu version of a classic in mentalism. The performer correctly predicts the thoughts of three random spectators.

Hummer Prediction - The performer accurately discerns the whereabouts of three objects placed under wooden plaques.

Wrigley Prediction - A new use for Mental Epic as the performer correctly predicts the spectator's preference in the ordering of three objects.

Jeff Sheridan is one of magic's most original thinkers and on this video, he shares some of his favorite and most closely guarded effects.

Lost And Found Bill - A borrowed bill's serial number matches the performer's prediction - which just happens to be gold-embossed on his wallet.

Triple Headline Prediction - Combine the classic effects of Mental Epic and Clipline and you have an amazing effect that will confound even those who are in the know!

Jumping And Linking Pocket Watch - A pocket watch visibly leaps from the performer's pocket and attaches itself to its chain. This is visual magic that defies explanation!

Cut And Restored String - Two pieces of string are cut in the fairest possible manner yet are restored by the performer.

Traveling Knot - A scaled-down version of Pavel's classic concept. A length of thread is threaded through a piece of straw. The straw is cut, obviously cutting the string, also. However, the straw is moved along the length of thread until the spectator says stop. The straw is removed to show that the cut point has apparently moved with the straw.

Dime And Penny - Every magician started with this trick but Jeff Sheridan shows you how to make it into a miracle. A coin visibly turns into another and then penetrates a solid sheet of rubber to fall into a glass.

Sheridan Princess - Three pairs of cards are placed under wooden plaques. The performer removes one card from under each plaque, correctly predicting the spectator's choice in each case. A triple miracle!

Card Stab - Another classic of magic given the Sheridan treatment. A selected card is shuffled into the pack, which is then wrapped in a napkin. The performer thrusts a knife through the napkin, impaling the
selected card.

Cold Capsule - Imagine the look on your spectators' faces as a common cold capsule pill dances and animates above your outstretched hand with no apparent means of locomotion. Then, a borrowed ring literally hovers in the air, again with no visible means of support.

Clone Cards - Wild Card outdone! Several cards turn into a duplicate of a selected card. For the incredible finale, the entire deck is spread to show that every card now matches the selection!

Secret Slate - The performer is able to flawlessly pick out the business card the spectator has initialed or has drawn a picture on, no matter how much the face-down cards are mixed.

Mental Crossover by Sander Kosters



Effect: The magician takes out two decks of cards, a red backed deck and a blue backed deck. He then picks up one of the decks and asks the spectator to name ANY card that he sees. That's right, ANY CARD!

The magician then picks up the other deck, and miraculously, the chosen card has VANISHED from the deck! You can show the spectator every single card if you like, they will see that the only card missing is their own which they FREELY CHOSE!

Going back to the original deck, they are SHOCKED to see that the one missing card has now travelled into that deck, because it's the only card that has a different colored back.

This trick is AMAZING! The first time we saw it, we knew that we had to carry it!

* Can be done with ANY TWO DECKS
* ANY CARD can be named - totally free choice, no forces
* Card really disappears from the other deck

THE TWO THIEVES (Anonymous): You tell a story of two thieves trying to steal chickens, while you are using matches. At the end the spectators will have a big surprise!

PENETRATING MATCHES (Martin Gardner): You show two matches, one in each hand. The matches seem to magically melt through one another!

MAGIC MATCHES (Joe Hustler): A card is covered by matches. One card is selected. You tip the card with the matches over and six matches are seen to reveal one card (say KH): The name of the selection!

TWO-LINE DIVINATION (Ken de Courcy & Murray): You divine the amount of matches left on the table while your back is turned!

MATCH-UP (Ron Batteridge): A box of matches and ten cards are shown. A number between 1 and 10 is freely selected by a spectator by removing matches from the box and the card at that number is shown to have been predicted on the box of matches!

THE THREE-PILE DIVINATION (Martin Gardner): While you are not looking, a spectator lays out three piles of matches. He shifts matches from one pile to another. Nevertheless, you know how many matches are left on the table!

MATCHED PREDICTION (Trevor Lewis): You place a box of matches in view. A spectator removes any amount of matches and this amount determines a card from the deck. That card was predicted by you!

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE (Werner Miller): You show three boxes of matches and a spectator picks one. It is the only full one, the other two are empty-or vice versa (no force)!

Performed by Aldo Colombini. THIS IS AN AMAZING ROUTINE IN THREE PHASES PERFORMED WITH A REGULAR DECK OF CARDS. MOREOVER, THE ROUTINE IS VERY EASY TO PERFORM. IT IS AN ACT IN ITSELF!

EFFECT:

1) The deck is shuffled and divided in half. A spectator reverses a card in one half. Both halves are placed side by side face down. You turn the top card of each half over dealing them above the halves. The dealing continues. All the pairs are different. When the spectator's card is reached, the card of the same color and value turns up in the other half!

2) The spectator now riffle shuffles the halves together (read that again). You hold the deck out of sight under the table (or in a bag), then with your sensitive fingertips, are able to produce at will, red and black cards, cards of each suit, then cards of certain values!

3) The remaining 26 cards are dealt into two piles of 13 cards each. The spectator takes either pile, leaving the other to you. You openly separate the cards into two piles, the spectator blindly separates his cards, following your lead. Both your cards and the spectator's are shown. All the cards have somehow been separated into reds and blacks! What a series of stunning effects!

An incredible collection of packet tricks!

PREDICTION GONE WILD (Cameron Francis): A great trick. A card is selected. You show four blank cards with different names of cards on them. All of a sudden all the cards have the name of the selection. At the end the selection vanishes from the deck and appears in the packet.

BOXING ACES (Aldo Colombini): An Ace-assembly that will have their jaws dropping. Four Aces vanish from packets of cards and reappear inside the card case.

GHOST FLIGHT (Peter Duffie): Eight double blank cards and four Queens are used. The Queens trapped between two blank cards vanish and reappear under a ‘cover.’ Great handling, an incredible effect.

OILS WELL THAT ENDS WELL (Stephen Tucker): A version of the classic “Oil and Queens” where at the end the four Queens vanish and leave four blank-faced cards.

TRIFLE (Aldo Colombini): Two sets of four-of-a-kind, say Kings, one blue-backed and one red-backed set. One of the four Kings is freely selected by the spectator who announces its suit. The same two Kings change place twice.

KLONDYKE CATO (Richard Vollmer): Amazing simple routine. A spectator shuffles a packet of cards and you reveal how many cards are reversed and the total of their values.

A TRICK FOR JACK PARKER (Paul Gordon): Two packets of red/black cards are used. A card is selected from one packet and it turns out to be the only reversed card. The other cards change into a Royal Flush.

RED BLUES (Karl Fulves): Great packet trick where a card is FREELY selected (say the AH) and it is seen to be the only red-backed card in the packet and the only Ace in the packet.

THE WHITECHAPEL SOLUTION (Ryan Matney): Great patter story about Jack the Ripper where the spectator finally finds the devious killer!

MINDS IN SESSION (Arthur Carter): Great principle to find a different colored card in a packet of seven that can be used for many other routines.

Running Time Approximately 45min

Just a couple of bent nails are intertwined. The puzzle is to separate them without force.

Receive killer reactions with this diabolical deck and concept. You will be able to perform one highly deceptive location effect by three entirely different methods. This exclusive deck does all the work for you, it's 90% hands off magic and no special skill required!

What sets Triple Intuition apart from other card effects is the mixing of techniques in one card show. Dani has designed a deck that appears normal and random at every turn, but hides a secret that allows the Magician to know selected cards and where they are in the deck.

Dani combines this preparation in the deck with a clever stack that allows you to reveal selections at thought-of numbers, from shuffled packets, and more. Best of all, the effect does not require any special skill or sleights. For a formal close-up show, Triple Intuition is one of THE most powerful closing effects! Master magicians such as Christian Engbloom of the Fat Brothers have been using this tried and true effect to close their performances for years.

• Killer reactions!
• 90% hands-off magic.
• No special skill required.
• Special deck does all the work for you.

Includes everything you need to perform this effect.

This truly is the "Ultimate" design! The NEW gimmick is precision made and designed with our computer aided prototyping machine to last a lifetime. Many great moves are available with this gimmick.

• Make the hanky dance on the floor
• Fly up to the cloth
• Wiggle in your pocket
• and even dance inside a bottle!

Gimmick comes complete with silk, Custom made black foulard, Great video instructions, and yes, we even include the batteries!

What do you get when three of magic's most innovative creators put their heads together?

A Tiny Plunger!

This unsuspecting little prop becomes the feature of an amazing trick. The small plunger clings to a thought-of number of cards, finds a selection, and lots more! Based on a concept by Mathieu Bich, with additional ideas by Jon Armstrong and Garrett Thomas, Tiny Plunger is that rare prop that is at once funny, amazing, and memorable. Best of all, the routine is within the range of the beginner.
