Trap-Ease by David Forrest A pair of cards is
removed from the deck, let's say the Jokers for example. A card is freely
selected and signed across the face before being lost back into the deck.
The two Jokers are shown front and back, there are only two cards and
they do not go near the deck. With a little flick, a face down card appears
in between them. This card is removed and shown to be the signed selection.
It really is as straight forward as that!

Snap your left fingers and it's gone. -WSSV Move: The Williamson Striking Vanish, only BOTH hands are immediately clean at the conclusion. -Index to Index: A penny sits on an index cinger. Gently tough it with the other index finger and it's gone.

You're clean. -Jelly Bellied: Three jelly beans sit in your closed hand. Spectator calls out one of them (free choice). Open your hand and the named jelly bean has vanished completely. -Absorption-The OJ Simpson Dime In Equal Packet: A ruthlessly ambitious and ridiculously clean take on this classic plot. Try not to look guilty when performing! -Linking Clips/Lifesavers: Two paperclips are linked together in the cleanest of manners. Platt then goes on to do the same effect with Lifesavers! -Chuck Woolery Coins Across: Two quarters in the right hand. Two in the left. With no moves, only a simple wave, all four quarters find themselves in the left hand. -Fanning Pitch: Platt's been honing this move for many years. This is theo one that fries laymen, magicians... everyone! Explained in full detail. -Red Light. Green Light: A fresh take on the 50/50 prediction. -Wipe Away Vanish/Change: A coin in the palm of your hand is brushed into thin air or changed into anothe coin by simply brushing it with the back of your other hand.

NAILED! By Jay Sankey A two-card transposition unlike anything you have EVER seen before! The performer introduces a very unusual prediction: a color photograph of the Four of Diamonds nailed to a wooden table. The magician insists that, "in a moment -when you freely select a card- it will in fact be the card in the photo." The spectator is asked to hold onto the photo, but when she selects a card it is found to be the King of Clubs, NOT the card in the photo. To right matters, the miracle-worker does the truly impossible by causing the King of Clubs to change places with the Four of Diamonds INSIDE THE PHOTO! And get this- everything can be immediately EXAMINED! (Can you say, "Freakfest?") Angle-proof, resets in a second and super easy to do!

Card Through Window (Book) The CTW document is a 20 page manuscript describing in very fine detail how to construct the clever gimmicks which will allow you to perform the classic Card through Window effect using 'desktop technology' (scissors, tape, glue, etc.) and materials included with this booklet. Each step of the process is very easy to follow thanks to clear and concise text, assembly diagrams and cutting templates, making the construction of the gimmicks simple and straight forward. Effect 1: A spectator selects a card from a deck. A corner is torn from the card and given to the spectator as a receipt. The magician claims he will make the card completely disappear and, after some by-play does exactly that! "Do you know where it went?" he asks. The spectators confess that they do not. "Look over there, do you see what's taped to that window?" The spectator turns around to find their selection taped firmly to a nearby window, the corner receipt matches perfectly! "That's pretty weird how I made your card appear there isn't it?" The spectator agrees. "I'll show you what's even weirder though." The magician passes a fan of cards over the selection and it very visually jumps right through the window! The tape is removed and the spectator can remove the card from the other side of the glass! The corner still matches perfectly! Effect 2: A spectator selects a card from a deck. A corner is torn from the card and given to the spectator as a receipt. The card is placed face up into the middle of the deck, the deck is bound with a rubber band and the spectator holds it between her palms. The magician leads the spectator to a nearby window where a small 'curtain' bearing a large question mark is seen. He explains that earlier on in the day he taped a playing card on to the window as a prediction, the tape is seen to be protruding from either side of the curtain. After a suitable build up the magician lifts the curtain and a card matching the spectator's selection is seen to be taped firmly to the window. The magician points out that his prediction card also has a corner missing and asks the spectator to go through the deck and find his face up selection. The spectator finds that his selection is gone! The corner receipt is compared to the card on the window and they are seen to be a perfect match! Here comes the best part: The magician passes a fan of cards over the selection and it very visually jumps right through the window! The curtain is removed and the spectator can remove the tape and the card, which really is on the other side of the glass, and everything is examinable. The corner still matches! Price: £18

Torn, By Daniel Garcia (DVD) In the basement of a seedy Las Vegas hotel, Daniel Garcia slowly touched two pieces of a torn playing card together. Achingly slowly, with no cover, he let go of one of the pieces and the card was restored! Paul Harris shook his head and softly muttered "If this kid is not using some kind of sticky substance, he owns me." Daniel restored the third and fourth pieces in equally miraculous ways and handed Paul the card....no sticky substance! In lieu of Paul's mortal soul, Daniel agreed to let Paul get Torn out to the world. It really is the next great leap forward in this piece-by-piece restoration. Totally practical and even more magical than the original TV-only version With this DVD and a little work, you'll have a breathtaking magical effect you can do anywhere with any freely selected signed card. Torn didn't just astonish Paul Harris. Daniel has owned just about every magician he has come across, and for sure every laymen he's shown the effect. Daniel Garcia's "Torn" is a must for anyone who wants to perform a truly miraculous piece-by-piece restoration. Price: £29

Mercuring A finger ring first penetrates the magician's finger, then the SPECTATOR's! The penetration looks CRAZY and the re-set is automatic! Whether you work the street or the tables, this one's for you! The wonder-worker introduces a finger ring. Claiming it's made from "stabilized mercury" the performer hands out the ring for examination. A moment later, the magician flicks the ring spinning into the air and then impossibly catches it on the very TIP of his finger! The ring is then slowly slipped onto the performer's third finger. The spectators are asked to watch very closely. Without a single suspicious move, the mysterious ring is seen to MELT RIGHT THROUGH the base of the third finger and onto the base of the pinky! And again the ring can be examined. Finally, the ring is slipped onto a SPECTATOR'S finger! For maximum security, the spectator tightly holds the tip of his/her finger, but a second later the magician pulls the ring right through the finger! Each MERCURING is hand-machined and polished for a lifetime of professional use. The beautiful ring can be examined before and after the impossible penetration.

The Principles
of Magic by Richard Osterlind Why can two performers do the same piece of material yet one consistently gets much more enthusiastic audience responses? Is it possible that some of magic's most sacred axioms such as "never repeat a trick" and "never tell an audience what you're going to do" may ultimately be responsible for the huge amount of mediocre magic that abounds? What is magic's biggest lie? These are just a few of the topics that Richard Osterlind tackles in what may be his most passionate argument yet for a return to the fundamental principles that once made conjuring one of the most respected of the performing arts. Over the years, these principles have become misinterpreted, misunderstood or largely ignored, resulting in magic's unfortunate and undeserving loss of its rightful place in the public's estimation. The Principles of Magic is Richard Osterlind's warning flag that, as performers, we have to change many of our approaches and attitudes before it's too late and magic vanishes forever. As a bonus, Richard offers "Inside The Fold," one of the strongest openers possible for a magic or mentalism program. It's a surefire way to gain the respect and attention of any audience immediately. More than
just a reasoned appeal to mystery performers everywhere to once again
lift magic to its highest artistic potential, The Principles of Magic
is about rediscovering what it was about magic that you first loved...and
perhaps relearning how to share its original wonder with others.

The Encyclopedia of Rope Tricks By Stewart James An essential title for every magician, The Encyclopedia of Rope Tricks is the only book of its kind. Magical genius Stewart James, over the course of 40+ years, compiled three volumes of the Encyclopedia of Rope Tricks. Now, for the first time, these classic works have been collected, newly edited, and combined in a single hardbound volume. Over the course of nearly 450 large-format pages, James describes every nuance of this fascinating branch of conjuring. Hundreds of effects are described. Puzzles share the pages with stage-filling illusions, legendary feats (like the fabled Indian Rope Trick), escapes, spirit effects, cut and restored tricks, penetrations, trick knots, suspensions, and James' famous Sefalaljia, to name but a few. Rope tricks are the ultimate form of "pack small, play big" magic. And many impromptu feats that can be worked at the drop of a hat - often with borrowed rope - are described in these pages. Mini-miracles for virtually every type of performer are illuminated in these pages. From kid-show worker to close-up magician and parlor prestidigitator, rope tricks to suit nearly every taste, theme, and interest (not to mention skill) level are included. Many of the greatest magical minds of the last 100 years contributed to the Encyclopedia of Rope Tricks, including Harlan Tarbell, David Devant, Jay Marshall, Martin Gardner, Eddie Joseph, Larry Becker, G.W. Hunter, Sid Lorraine, Bob Hummer, Jean Hugard, Winston Freer, Burling Hull, T. Page Wright, U.F. Grant, William Larsen, Sr., Dunninger, Percy Abbott, P.C. Sorcar, Tenkai Ishida, Will Brema, and many, many more. The Encyclopedia of Rope Tricks is an invaluable reference work. Hardbound, 7x10". 456 pages, with over 1500 illustrations. With an introduction
by Mac King and new essay on the Indian Rope Trick by Peter Lamont. Price:

| Act Two
by Barrie Richardson When Barrie Richardson's Theater of the Mind was published in 1999, it drew immediate acclaim from mentalists and magicians, professional and amateur alike, and quickly became a bestseller. In it, Richardson, a longtime professional performer and speaker, exhibited an unerring track record for fashioning astonishing effects and routines, dressed in powerful and engaging presentations and supported by ingenious, practical methods. In Act Two, Barrie Richardson shows that he has lost none of his gentle thunder. His new book features 54 tricks, ideas and routines, with all the attributes for which his work has become known and admired. Most include full presentations that use humanity, humor and an unfaltering sense of drama, that culminate in feats that are clearly impossible and thoroughly amazing. Along with some of his most prized routines, Richardson includes valuable examples taken from his professional repertoire of motivational talks for public and business audiences. The scenes in Act Two amount to what might be called
a modern "miracle play." Here is a scant sampling of the action: Frequently, sequels fail to live up to their predecessors. That is not the case here. You won't want to miss Act Two. A quality hardcover, 382 pages of baffling and practical material, loaded with full presentations. Price: £29 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Soft Shoe Monte By Jim Steinmeyer Soft Shoe Monte uses just three jumbo cards (with the requisite Bicycle backs, thank you very much) to pull the proverbial wool over the eyes of your spectators. Through three phases, though it seems as if everything has been explained clearly and that the rules couldn't be any easier to follow, the money card is never where they expect it. Even when you use one hand and two cards, the spectators are completely flummoxed. This is a trick that plays huge, packs small and packs a punch. Masterfully deceptive, ingeniously clever and devilishly entertaining, Jim Steinmeyer's Soft Shoe Monte isn't just cheating, it's a complete stand-up routine that makes dishonesty a sure thing.

Black Tiger Gaff deck by Bicycle It's the ultimate resource for Black Tiger Deck owners — the pinnacle of innovative routines for using the Black Deck. The Black Tiger Gaff Deck features an entire deck of specially designed cards custom-made for use in routines and effects. Each card was designed with a specific use in mind, but the possibilities are undeniably endless. The Black Tiger Gaff Deck contains 56 unique cards that have the same high quality look and feel as the original deck, including the new UV500 finish that makes the deck feel so good in your hands. The Gaff cards are made from the same stock and finish as the original deck so that these cards will fit seamlessly in with your regular Black Deck. Here is a small list of just some of the cards available:
Double-Faces While some of the cards were intended for specific uses in magic effects (such as A Dream of Aces by Gary Ouellet), others are just objects to inspire innovation. Using the two Gaffed Jokers that we've supplied you can now set a card aside and have your spectator select a card, and then show that the card that you set aside is indeed a prediction. A quick sleight and all of a sudden you can show that your Joker's prediction is now face up, showing that the two selections match. This is just ONE of the uses of these cards! Using our incredible voodoo card, you can create an aura of incredible wonder. Start with Burned (from Street Magic) to set the mood, and then show them your Voodoo Card. Get them to select a card and then sprinkle some needles on the card. After a wave or two, the needles have vanished, and now appear to have penetrated the Voodoo Doll, and upon closer inspection, their selected card is tattoed to the chest of the doll! There are so many possibilities with these cards that we would need a lifetime to describe them all. Price: £25

Monte
3.0 by Gordon Bean Starting with a bang, the effect builds to a killer climax, After a very clean transposition of a red ace and a black two -- happening right on a spectator's hand -- you'll be holding three cards face down. Though the audience will be convinced that these are a red ace and a pair of black twos, they will actually be three red aces, and you'll be able to deal these directly onto the spectator's hand. No extra cards. No cards stuck together. All fully examinable. And when you put the cards back into your breast pocket you'll be completely reset. Even though no complicated sleight of hand is required, the lavishly photo-illlustrated instructions will guide you through every moment of the brief routine. It's like having Gordon right there, alongside you, teaching you in person. Price: £11.50 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
