Remarkable Card Magic (3 DVD Set) by Boris Wild


Price: £65.00

Quantity:

FISM award-winner Boris Wild is one of the most renowned French magicians in the world. From Hollywood and Las Vegas to Monte Carlo, Sydney, Tokyo and beyond, Boris' original and creative approach to card magic has taken him to some of the most prestigious venues on five continents where he has received standing ovations.

Now, it's your turn to watch and learn Boris Wild's favorite creations as he reveals them for the very first time on video in this amazing DVD set. You'll witness astounding, truly miraculous card magic using his outstanding, world-famous BW Marked Deck. Boris will teach you every single detail of his ingenious system as well as incredibly clean routines that will fool you badly and, after you learn them, will leave your audiences shaking their heads! One of them, Pure Telepathy, is considered by international experts to be "one of the most beautiful and theatrical card revelations in the world." You'll also learn the wonderfully deceptive Kiss Count, in addition to many highly-visual applications using this new technique. There's a colorful combination of cards and silks set to music, a spectator's kiss on an impossible journey to a signed card, and a fantastic, multi-phase routine combining All Backs, Triumph and Wild Card!

These three DVDs also feature a super-clean revelation of a thought-of card in mid-air, a unique prediction of a movie, plus Boris' best-selling effects including Miracolor, his diabolical Wild Monte, Very Wild!, and WPT, two eye-popping transformations of cards that will knock you dead. And there's more…!

The performances are fun and entertaining to watch and the secrets behind it all do not require difficult sleight of hand. The moves, principles and methods rely mostly on subtlety and cleverness. Boris explains everything in detail with clear step-by-step instructions, valuable tips, a pinch of theory, and in-depth psychological aspects in their own dedicated segment.

Boris Wild's Remarkable Card Magic gathers original, visual, strong effects that lovers of great card magic will enjoy immensely…and spectators will love even more!

Casanova Concept by Steve Haynes - DVD

Casanova Concept by Steve Haynes - DVD


Price: £18.00

Quantity:

Steve Haynes has tweaked and developed this closely guarded secret for 17 YEARS! Now, it can be yours! The Casanova Concept is an easy to apply principle that will allow you to perform bona-fide miracles with both playing cards and business cards. It's simple and straightforward, requires the minimum of sleight of hand and will go straight into your repertoire. This is NOT a trick; it's a principle that can be applied to hundreds of routines.

Featured on this DVD:

Stroller Controller - A freely selected card is signed front and back, and then lost in the deck. You cleanly reach into your pocket and withdraw their card, showing that you had it BEFORE they even signed it!

Thru & Through - A signed Card Thru Window with a FACE UP, SIGNED selection!

Rip Trip - A signed business card is torn but miraculously restores itself!

Homing On Easy Street - A signed card disappears from the deck and appears in your pocket. TWICE! This is easy-peasy!

And, Steve Haynes' signature piece - the Casanova Closer...

Your spectator selects two cards and SIGNS them both. One is placed in their own wallet (or pocket). The other is lost in the deck. Within seconds you open your own wallet to reveal the signed selection which was apparently lost in the deck.

As your spectator is still reeling, you offer to repeat the effect. You re-open your wallet (which was empty only moments ago) and slowly withdraw a face-down card. Your spectator's eyes are popping out of their head - 'How did that signed selection get back into your wallet'?

It didn't. It's the OTHER signed card! The one that should have been in the spectators' wallet. And when they look in their pocket they find the first signed card! Then they faint!

BOTH CARDS ARE GENUINELY SIGNED BY THE SPECTATOR AND YOU NEVER TOUCH THE SPECTATOR'S WALLET!

NOTE: The Casanova Closer utilises a gimmicked wallet (not supplied). But, this is just one way to employ the Casanova Concept. The DVD also features a second method using nothing but a deck of cards and an ungimmicked wallet!

Omega Mutation (3 DVD Set) by Cameron Francis

Omega Mutation (3 DVD Set) by Cameron Francis


Price: £49.00

Quantity:

27 real-world effects from the hottest magic newcomer in years in a 3 disc box set that will blow you away! Almost 5 hours of practical, mind-blowing close-up magic!
Featuring exclusive music from Slaves To Gravity, Johnny Panic, Standing Dead Centre, Andrew Potterton and John Barr!
The Story: October 18th 2007, 2.08pm. Distress calls are received at Heathrow Airport from an inbound 'Boeing 747' from Florida. The pilot, three crew and twelve passengers have been struck down by a mystery illness. By the time the plane lands, 7 people are dead. Only one man, an American citizen named Cameron Francis, disembarks the aircraft without showing any symptoms of the deadly bug. He is immediately arrested and quarantined in a secret location where he remains completely oblivious to the chaos that is unfolding as the mystery virus sweeps the UK.

Interrogations of the suspect have revealed nothing. Francis refuses to admit any connection to the vicious and deadly strain now dubbed the Omega Mutation by leading scientist's frantically working on an antidote. Francis is either an unwitting participant in a deadly game, or a criminal mastermind of heroic proportions. Either way, his story is sketchy. Claiming to be a close up magician, he carries with him a small attaché case filled with cards, coins and other magical paraphernalia. Needless to say, his attachment to this questionable practice only serves to raise suspicion of his involvement in what could be the single most disastrous event that the world has ever known!

Will the deadly virus be stopped? Will Cameron ever convince his captors of his innocence? Will the guards ever grow tired of his card tricks? Will Cameron ever escape? Find out in CAMERON FRANCIS - THE OMEGA MUTATION!

Card Dupery by J.K. Hartman

Card Dupery by J.K. Hartman


Price: £35.00

Quantity:

Seven years in the making! J. K. Hartman's newest collection of card magic—more than 90 tricks, routines and sleights—over 400 pages and 600 illustrations!

Effects Include:

• Someone is asked to separate a mixed deck into black cards and reds, dealing the cards face up—but with his eyes closed. When he opens them, he sees what everyone else has been watching: the piles he has created are a random jumble of colors and he has utterly failed. Or has he? The performer reveals that he has assembled the cards from two decks—and his helper has somehow perfectly separated the cards by their different back patterns!

• Two spectators are each asked to think of a card as the performer spreads through the deck. The cards are shuffled and held behind the performerís back. As he brings out one card at a time, one of the spectators silently spells the name of the card he thought of and slaps his hand down on the card dealt as the last letter of its name. When he turns it up, it is his mental selection! The cards are shuffled further and the second spectator pushes a cocktail sword anywhere into the deck, only to find it lodged exactly where his thought-of card lies!

• Anyone shuffles the deck, cuts it in half and gives one half to the performer. Both of them look through their cards and think of one. The performer shows his selection to someone else to keep things fair. He then deals the top card of his packet face down onto the table, after which the spectator deals his top card face up. They continue to deal cards, the performer always preceding the spectator. When the spectator deals his thought-of card face up, he announces it. The other spectator names the performerís card and, when the top card of his dealt pile is turned up—this card having been dealt just before the spectator dealt his—it is the performer's!

• The performer spreads through a face-up deck, showing it to be in completely random order. Then, without a suspicious move, he widely spreads the deck on the table, showing that the black cards have suddenly separated from the reds!

These effects are the scantest sampling of the wonders in CARD DUPERY to be discovered by you and enjoyed by your audiences.

Royal Stab by Richard Sanders

Royal Stab by Richard Sanders


Price: £7.00

Quantity:

The Card Stab That Fits In Your Pocket!

Physically alter a standard playing card and hand it out for immediate examination!

What do you get when you combine audience participation, selected playing cards, a great plot and a magically altered playing card?

You get the little pocket miracle from the mind of Richard Sanders that will blow away your audience every time!

Effect

Two cards are selected and lost in the deck. You bring up the topic of the classic effect, The Card Stab, where the magician thrusts a sword into a deck of cards, impaling the selections on it. You boldly offer to perform this miracle; however, you explain that presently all your swords are at the dry cleaners.

Luckily there is one card in the deck that carries his own sword, the King of Clubs. After the King of Clubs has been thoroughly examined, it is pushed half way into the deck, when it emerges one of the selected cards is now impossibly impaled on the king’s sword...and it’s part of the actual printing on the card...this is impossible! If that wasn't enough, without any switches, the same card is pushed into the pack again and impossibly, the second selection is now impaled on the King's other sword...the cards just seem to materialize on the swords...it's crazy visual magic!

You leave the spectators holding an impossibly altered playing card with both their selections impaled on the King's swords! The impaled cards are part of the printed playing card...and it’s totally examinable!

Don’t be fooled by the simple nature of this effect, this is a mind blower for laymen!

Super easy to perform!
Includes specially gimmicked cards!
Super commercial routine!
Automatically reset for walk around magic!
Totally examinable!
Comes complete with 2 gimmicked cards and photo-illustrated instruction sheet.

Honest Cheat Poker Routine by Alan Bursky

Honest Cheat Poker Routine by Alan Bursky


Price: £14.50

Quantity:

The Honest Cheat Poker Routine is a fantastic five-minute humor-filled card act, perfect for the close-up or stand-up performer. There are many poker and gambling demonstration routines around, but none that pack the humor and multi-level climaxes of this one. Best of all, it's super-easy to do with NO SLEIGHTS needed, and it can be performed with any deck!

Effect

The magician proposes to play a hand of poker with a spectator and promises to never, ever cheat, but as soon as he starts to deal, it's obvious the magician is trying to win the game with blatant and funny card trickery. As the audience will loudly point out, the magician deals himself too many cards, discards too few, and keeps ending up with more cards than the spectator.

To make the game fair, the spectator and two other volunteers PICK THEIR OWN HANDS from the discard pile. In an amazing QUADRUPLE climax, the spectators reveal that they have ended up with two full houses and a straight flush, but the magician beats all three with a royal flush in Spades!

The Honest Cheat Poker Routine uses any deck! No gimmicked cards, phony-looking moves, or boring moments! Reset time is quick, and it can be done surrounded. It's visual, funny, and commercial! Entire routine detailed in a 7-page booklet.

"I've seen Alan Bursky do this routine dozens of times. It always kills!"
- Johnny Thompson

"One of the funniest lines in my show was written for me by Alan Bursky. I really want to learn this routine!"
- Lance Burton

At any time during your show, remove a piece of gum from your mouth, place it onto an empty wrapper, gently toss it into the air...and both the wrapper and the gum impossibly WRAP THEMSELVES BACK UP into a perfect square, complete with AN UNCHEWED BLOCK OF GUM INSIDE!

Super easy! Super visual! An incredible moment of hyper visual magic! Best of all, your hands are completely EMPTY and the wrapped piece of gum can be closely examined and even given away as the PERFECT SOUVENIR! You can even perform this reputation-maker and have a SPECTATOR catch the just wrapped-up gum!

Jay originally called this astounding effect "Sugarless Gum" and first shared it with magicians in his 1985 lecture notes MEMORABLE IMAGES. Since then, the routine has found its way into the repertoires of magicians all over the world.

Whether you perform close-up, walk around or even at children's birthday parties, this quick, easy, super visual stunner (that also instantly resets) is the PERFECT effect for you! Includes all the necessary materials plus an exciting instructional DVD featuring a marvelous collection of brand new alternative handlings and variations Jay is revealing for the very first time including:

SNAP PRODUCTION
It's as easy as snapping your fingers! Magic that needs no words!

MID AIR WRAP
This is the original, jaw-dropping "tossed in the air" handling!

TABLE DROP
A great way to prove that you can perform magic without having to actually hold onto the props!

IN THEIR HANDS
What's better than the magic happening IN THE SPECTATOR'S OWN HANDS? Nothing, that's what!

APPEARING WRAPPER
Two "off the hook" effects in one. Not only does the gum morph back into its original unchewed condition, but the wrapper also appears FROM NOWHERE!

THUMB TIP HANDLING
An extremely clever and direct handling with a lot of charms of its own!(And again, darn easy!)

JC'S HANDLING
Inspired by a switch created by J.C. Wagner, you can perform this handling in your underwear (depending upon the gig!)

THE SLYDINI WAY
Jay once asked himself the question, "How would the great Tony Slydini perform Wrap It Up?" This is the answer!

TRANSPOSITION SEQUENCE
The paper wrapper and block of gum star in a surreal series of magic moments, each more impossible than the last!

IMPOSSIBLE RESTORATION
The wrapper is torn and restored in the most visually impossible manner imaginable, complete with a SURPRISE REAPPEARANCE of the block of gum. Start your own religion today!

LO-TECH HANDLING
Perfect for real-world workers, this down-and-dirty approach leaves you surprisingly CLEAN!

ORAL FIXATION
While chewing gum, you slowly tear the wrapper into pieces, ball them up and pop them into your mouth. A moment later the neatly wrapped block of gum appears from between your smiling lips. One of Jay's favorite sleight-of-tongue bar effects.

Running Time Approximately 105mins

The case is opened and inside we find the four Jacks with the second selection face down in between them!

BONUS 3. Hard Knocks - Two cards are selected and signed on the back before being lost back into the deck. With a snap,
the deck is spread and both selections are seen to be reversed! Each spectator holds onto their respective selection. Another snap and the signatures on the back transopse! This could be the most direct method EVER conceived for this type of effect!

First in the new series of DVDs on working with elastic loops.


It was nice to see someone using a Tiger deck. Hopefully, people will realize that this is just another deck of cards and that when you present your magic as just a regular deck with different colors, then the audience fully accepts it. I know that those of us who know this already and practice it enjoy hearing spectators make positive comments about you using an unusual deck and how it separates you from the rest of the pack.

Every trick plays really well to the audience and it’s easy to see that this stuff work extremely well in pretty much everyone’s act. This is visual magic that audiences love. Even if it’s only a single trick that you like, it’ll be well worth it because you’ll love that trick.

Virtually everything said by Nate is purely instructional (take a card, put it back in the deck, etc). The up side to this is that it will force people to create their own presentations for the tricks. I’m curious to see where people’s ideas go from here.

The tricks definitely have potential to get some great reactions. Like with any magic trick, it all depends on who is doing the trick and what is done with it. The material can be performed by anyone, but showmanship is definitely going to be required.

Nate's tips on Loops are sound and will help even the seasoned "loop worker." The teaching is complete and Nate covers everything that you need to know to perform the tricks properly and easily. In addition to the methods, Nate covers performance advice based off of real-world experience. This is very nice, as Nate actually goes through things that will help you in just about any performance venue.

The presentations here were also like the other two. This DVD set will give you all the technical aspects of the tricks, but you will need to create your own presentations. Some of the material here will allow for some emotionally-driven presentations, so I hope they are filmed and posted in the Member Videos forum.

The material here is very original and definitely would play well to any audience. Life is a beautiful piece of magic that really can become something that people will remember forever. The other material is unique and can instantly go into the performance repertoire of virtually every magician who uses Loops.

Daniel's teaching is exactly what you'd expect - thorough without being boring. He covers everything you need to know to perform the trick, the tips are designed to help you when performing for real audiences in real situations, and he does it all without being boring or cheesy. It's nice to see that his performing style matches his teaching style. Some of this material might require you to watch the video a few times to learn, but you will get it. Patience is your friend.

The tips here are just as valuable as those in the other videos. Daniel offers tips and advice that comes into play for virtually every performer. It's clear that he has been out performing with Loops in all the situations that you could imagine. This advice will help you perform the tricks in real-world performance situations and allow you to be successful. The best part about these tips (and the tips in the other two videos) is that you get to listen and learn to those who have the real-world experience. Remember that these guys learned most of these lessons the hard way. They are passing this information onto you so you can become more successful and at a faster rate.

For the price, it's easy to say “Yes!” to all three volumes. Loops are dear to my heart and I was very excited to hear about this project. Now that I have seen the "final result," I believe that Loops have been taken to a new level. There is some very powerful magic taught in this DVD set and the tips will allow the students to use the magic on a regular basis. Fortunately, the material will not take you years or months to master. I feel that it's possible to learn every piece in the DVD set in a month or so, provided you have regular practice and study on it.

Again, it is nice to see a Viper deck being used and being accepted by the audience. I have always been a firm believer that the only people who have audiences "question" their Tiger/Viper/Ghost/whatever decks are not presenting the deck itself properly and blaming the prop. I present a Masters deck in the exact same fashion that I would present a Tiger deck to ensure the audience knows the deck itself is fine. Far too many magicians just assume that because the audience did not openly question the deck, then they believe it is not gimmicked.

I remember seeing Justin performing some of this material for real audiences when he visited Vancouver last summer. I can personally say that this material obtained stunning reactions on a consistent basis, from a variety of spectators. His haunted pack where the selected card turns itself over for the reveal is one of the nicest things that I have seen accomplished with a Loop.

Again, we only see patter that is technical explanations required to accomplish the trick (pick a card, watch the fork, etc). However, this is something that I prefer, as it forces us (as magicians) to create our own presentations. Since some of the tricks have multiple elements, there are lots of presentational options – I love that freedom.

Justin's teaching is complete and easy to follow. Some of the tricks have a bit of process to them, but Justin covers everything so nicely that you can quickly learn each one. Some of the methods are unlike anything I have ever seen with Loops before, and a creative mind can definitely take some of this stuff in other directions to create new tricks. While I already knew all of the methods from previous instruction (I attended Justin’s lecture while he was here in Vancouver), I found myself watching them a few times to pick up the tips more than once.

His real-world tips are phenomenal and should be heard by any magician who is using Loops. You can easily tell that Justin learned a lot of these real-world tips the hard way, like a true worker. I do hope that people listen to the tips a few times and really take them to heart. Justin is providing some valuable information to ensure that you learn the "real-world lessons" the easy way. The hard way usually means having a trick failing in a performance.

Sherlock Holmes Inductive Test by A. Black and T. Cherry

Sherlock Holmes Inductive Test by A. Black and T. Cherry


Price: £35.00

This wonderful looking book, a classic of English literature recognized and enjoyed all over the world, can now be a part of your library of specially made books that help you perform wonders for friends, colleagues, or any audience you’re performing for. It can be anyone! Though you can perform with this book on its own, the genius of the gaff enables you to use this book in conjunction with any other book of your choice, gaffed or not!

Here's how it works: the mentalist or magician talks about how Sherlock Holmes was one of the all-time best detectives in history. The performer explains how this Victorian age CSI expert would use his five senses to discover clues and induce facts that would ultimately lead him to solve crimes that stumped the famous Scotland Yard and stopped them dead in their tracks.

This person is then asked to look through the book and tell the audience how many pages there are. With nearly 300 pages to choose from, this participant is asked to choose one at random and WITHOUT LOOKING. It is a totally free choice!

The number is then revealed to the audience and the person is applauded back to their seat. Another person is then freely chosen from the audience and asked to pick up any other book sitting on a table.

There can be one or 30 books; it doesn't matter. They can even change their mind and pick up another book. No problem! This second person is instructed to turn to the page number previously chosen at random and to being reading the page in their mind as if they were projecting it to you.

IMMEDIATELY you reveal the first word as they are getting through the first paragraph. You then being to reveal the contents of the whole first paragraph!

She is instructed to continue reading in her head. But you are able to piece things together just like Sherlock Holmes but even better. You are able to tell her about the whole page! You "see" what she is reading.

Totally self contained, ANY book can be used with the Sherlock Holmes Inductive Test. You can use as many books as you like. It can be done close-up (just carry a couple extra books for them to choose from). You can even use a spectator's book! No kidding.

The unsurpassable stage, parlor, and yes, even close-up impromptu book test!

Not all book tests are created equal. Unlike other so called book tests, this is a real book; it even has an ISBN. This is the actual 1897 version of Dracula by Bram Stoker, except for the devilishly cleaver gaff woven into its 440 pages of text. Everybody knows Dracula, which means they will never suspect it.

Here's the deal: No spontaneous stooges; No forced pages or words; No directions printed in the book; No glimpses required; No sleights; No writing; No counting; No skill is needed. It is easy to perform—a real reputation builder. And as if this wasn't enough, The Dracula Book Test is affordable! It is a mentalists dream come true—a wonderful classic effect with a whole new look and feel. This is your chance to create miracles.

Imagine this: A participant is freely chosen from the audience-she is in no way a prearranged confederate, or for that matter, a spontaneous stooge. The participant is ushered onto stage with applause. She is utterly unprepared for the astonishment that she will soon encounter and the wonderment she will experience as you read her mind.

The eager participant is given the opportunity to choose a book from among others placed on a table. It is then shown to the audience—one, two, or even six people—get the chance to handle and examine the book to prove that it is real; it easily passes close-up examination 100% of the time. Its authenticity is undeniable because it is a classic well-known title in circulation throughout the world.

You are then blindfolded and without any obvious means whatsoever, you read her mind and reveal the word. But wait, you have her pick yet another page—just to be sure—and then you name that word too!

Once again, there can be free choice of page number at every stage. There are no prearranged confederates or spontaneous stooges. You don't need an assistant. There are no cribs; no complicated anagrams; no reflectors or mirrors; and no electronics. It's very easy to use!

Back colour

Imagine a deck of playing cards if you left them at the mercy of the elements for a century.

1800's appear to be ripped out of history. Gunbattles were fought over these cards. Lives were lost. Even the seal on the deck looks like it was left in a gritty New York alley for a while.

1800's are about as smooth as anything. They fan effortlessly, and have a quality finish that delivers. Instead of our thick luxury stock however, 1800's were deliberately produced with normal Bicycle/Tally-Ho stock in order to feel thinner, more textured, and aged.

1800's look old, but they act like a brand new deck. Start thinking about how you could use these cards in your magic. Do all your card magic with them. They're guaranteed to be a presentational masterpiece, they're arresting, and, once you get them into your hands... they will be sure to be your INSPIRATION.

Now available in either red or blue back.

What magic and mentalism on television should look like!

This incredible DVD set features Richard Osterlind as the star of three simulated television shows. Watch Richard dazzle the audience with real-time, mind-boggling mysteries and, as the title of the set implies, there are absolutely no camera tricks, stooges or pre-show work! What's more, this broadcast-quality material can also be used on stage and for close-up performances.

These are secrets of the highest quality with everything from the latest innovative ideas from the fertile mind of Richard Osterlind to some of the most cherished hidden mysteries from other masters. Not only will you receive a wealth of astonishing and usable material, but it is presented in one of the most entertaining formats ever attempted in the magic instructional DVD genre. This is Richard Osterlind at his highest performing level!

Additionally, you will see the commercial "bumpers" that feature Richard performing live in a restaurant and other public places - real-time performing under real-world conditions! See why Richard always shines in the numerous other "bonuses" contained on each disc!

Richard Osterlind has been a top corporate mentalist for over three decades. His travels have taken him from Beijing to Bermuda, Monte Carlo to Mexico City, Calgary to Kona. His level of sophistication, integrity and humor create an environment that has impressed audiences around the world. He is constantly invited for return engagements by the CEOs and event planners of the Fortune 500 companies he has amazed!

Jim Sisti is a successful East Coast magician specializing in both stage and close-up entertainment. He was the creator and editor of The Magic Menu periodical and has contributed columns and articles to a good number of magic's leading publications. He also has an extensive background in broadcasting.

Both Richard and Jim feel that all TV magic and mentalism should be free of camera and editing tricks. This was always the unbreakable rule during the Golden Age of Television. Together, they conceived the idea for this DVD series in order to demonstrate that a television performance can be intriguing, amazing and entertaining without outside help from the special effects crew!

Within these shows you will find no camera tricks, no strategic editing, no stooges and no pre-show work. In addition, all of the material was performed live without any retakes.

This is truly magic on TV - not TV magic!

DISC 1 - SHOW ONE

ZODIAC REVOLUTION - Bob Farmer's classic zodiac sign revelation done in a new way that will startle you in its directness. Richard guesses the zodiac signs of six audience members using nothing but a pad and pencil!

SWAMI BIRTHDAY/STENO ESP - Richard correctly guesses a person's exact birthday and follows that by predicting the random thoughts of three audience members. In this second demonstration, no forcing is involved and all three choices are totally free!

LIQUID METAL - Richard continues his metal bending legacy with five (yes . . . five!) more demonstrations of spoon bending. In one, a spoon actually visibly bends in the spectator's hand!

DIGITAL FEEDBACK EXTRAORDINAIRE - A digital calculator effect that duplicates the gimmicked versions using a legitimate calculator right out of the package in a drug store! You can throw away your forcing calculators as this does the same thing!

PEGASUS PAGE - Richard considers this to be one of the greatest effects in magic! With the permission of Art Emerson, the original Pegasus Page is presented to a stunned group of spectators. A selected page vanishes from a book being held by one person and reappears between two pieces of cardboard held by another spectator!

DISC 2 - SHOW TWO

RICHARDWAVE - Brainwave has always been considered one of magic's best effects. Here is Richard's version where any card named is the only red-backed card in a blue deck. To top it off, there's a "kicker" that adds another 100% to the effect - the deck is given away at the end! It is totally ordinary!

RUBIK'S CUBE - You won't believe your eyes as you watch Richard solve a legitimate Rubik's Cube - while totally blindfolded!

CLEARLY MIND READING - Another one of Richard's fabulous ideas for doing a complete thought reading act! This is a "new" idea that Richard published over 20 years ago and is basically unknown!

David Forrest's FANDANGO - Close up magic for the real world. Part 1.

Part 1 in a series of releases containing all new material designed with the intent of providing real world close up magicians with fresh, practical material.

Six brand new, never before published effects fresh from the mind of Dave Forrest. The material contained within has been carefully selected to be both entertaining and practical. This is not a 'read it once' release. It is filled with effects that you will actually use in the real world for real people. Fandango Part 1 - ALL KILLER, NO FILLER!

CONTENTS:
Missing the Aces - An attempt to cut directly to a selected card goes awry but the error is quickly forgotten when all four Aces suddenly appear and the selection is found reversed in the deck!
Card Sharp - An impossible revelation of a signed, folded card. Prepare yourself for a ‘why didn’t I think of that’ moment.
Seal the Deal - How to cheat at cards. First remove an Ace from the deck ahead of time and sleeve it, but don't forget to GENUINELY re-seal the entire deck in its cellophane.
Brunch at Tiffanies - A borrowed ring sealed in the card case transposes with a borrowed coin. Then, it happens again! Monterrey Jacks - The Jacks trap two selections, one in the deck, the other in the spectator's hands. This trick is so easy and effective it should be illegal!
Royale with Threes - An impossible sandwich effect with an eye popping 'four of a kind production' kicker.

What the pro's are saying...

“Dave Forrest has established himself as one of the most creative minds in magic today. 'Fandango' is further proof of this. Both 'Seal the Deal' and 'Card Sharp' are so commercial, they have earned a spot in my mental rolodex of magic. This is a major accomplishment, as real estate upstairs is tight, and reserved for only the finest magic, and this is mighty fine magic.”
– Sean Fields

”…I think the sealed deck gimmick is superb!” – Peter Duffie

The Second Guest Booklet - By David Forrest

The Second Guest Booklet - By David Forrest


Price: £10.00

Quantity:

“I designed ‘The Second Guest’ to be a practical, direct method of divining of a spectator’s completely free selection from a genuinely shuffled, completely un-gimmicked deck of cards that could be performed virtually anywhere with no prior set up. To that extent, I think I succeeded.” – David Forrest (from the introduction of this manuscript)

Effect: A deck of cards is removed from its case and handed to the spectator for shuffling. It is a genuine, unmarked deck – not gimmicked in any way. The spectator shuffles the cards until he is satisfied and then holds on to them – the performer doesn’t touch them again. Drawing attention to the card case, the performer fairly shows it on all sides pointing out that there are clearly no slits or holes to be found anywhere. You turn your back and instruct the spectator to spread the cards face down, push any card from the spread and without looking at it, seal it in the card case. The rest of the deck is then hidden from view and the performer turns back round and begins to concentrate intensely, focusing all his energy on the card case. Bit by bit, he begins to reveal the unknown card. First the colour….black. Then the suit….a Club. And finally, the value….a King, it’s the King of Clubs! The spectator is asked to remove the card from the case and sure enough the card inside is none other than the King of Clubs!

The above is merely an example of what is possible with the devious gimmick described within. ‘The Second Guest’ uses a 100% regular deck that is genuinely shuffled in any fashion by the spectator. No marked cards. No prior set up of the deck. Completely free choice of card which will be different every time. Can be performed at any point in your set – not strictly an opener or closer.

You’ll love the action of the ‘auto-gimmick’ that hides in plain sight until you activate it through the simplest of actions and proceed to devastate the onlookers with your amazing powers of second sight! You will construct the diabolical gimmick in around twenty minutes. Once it’s made, it’s there for good and can be used over and over again. As always, you will most likely already have everything that you need to construct it but if not the materials are VERY easily acquired!

Ripped and Repaired Booklet - By David Forrest


Price: £10.00

Quantity:

The ‘Ripped & Repaired’ booklet contains 30 professionally designed pages of material. Every effect is described in great detail including in depth descriptions of any moves or sleights that may be required and over 60 photographs illustrating the text where required.

A corner is cleanly and fairly torn off a selected card. (It really is!) The magician claims that he can restore this card to its former glory with the aid of a very special and ancient and magic-endowed instrument of necromancy. The spectators clutch their handbags to their faces and peek through the gaps in their fingers. The magician goes to his pocket and produces.......a stapler! He talks half the audience out of leaving before re-attaching the torn corner with the stapler. The "restored" card is signed by the spectator as proof that this miracle was witnessed by human eyes. A man in the back row cocks the hammer on a large handgun, a woman in the front is picturing the magi with an axe in his liver....before things turn violent he gathers everyone around close and with a gentle rub (ooh!) he visually heals the torn corner and hands out the card for inspection, there is nothing to find, just the two staples which once held the card together.

The 'Ripped & Repaired' booklet also contains five bonus effects:

Twirl and Shout - A card on the table from before the trick began transforms into the signed card.
Dear Diary - A pocket diary is used to reveal a signed card, far too strange to be a coincidence.
Take Note - A prediction written in a notepad visibly changes to a signed selection as it is torn from the pad.
Signature Piece - A signed two card transpo with a difference. This blows people away.
Boxing Clever - A signed card to matchbox where the simple gimmick does all the work.

Singled out by the legendary Paul Harris for inclusion on his 'True Astonishment' DVD set, SMOKE RINGS is a truly incredible impromptu miracle!

"If I only had one playing card with which to do magic, this is the routine that I'd do, bar none." - David Forrest (from the introduction of this manuscript)

SMOKE RINGS is a completely impromptu, 100% examinable linking card effect which requires no preparation whatsoever. Only one card is used, nothing else. No additional gimmcks are required, your hands are clearly empty. This is anywhere, anytime magic with nothing more than a single playing card.

Effect: Any card is borrowed or freely chosen by a spectator and signed. With both hands unmistakably empty, two impromptu rings are torn from the card. Without any overt actions or suspicious cover, the two rings are magically linked together, one ring hanging from the other. Such is their linked condition that one ring must actually be torn in order to free the other - one ring is unmistakably displayed as being torn.To finish, the torn ring is completely restored and everything is handed out for examination. There is nothing to find. The rings may be kept by the spectator as a souvenir. Believe it!
