At the Table Live Lecture Chris Randall


Las Vegas Native, Chris Randall is here with his out of this world At The Table Experience. You may have seen Chris perform on Masters if Illusion or even the Magic Castle, but did you know that he's been working on the Las Vegas Strip for 15 years?

With original material published in Magic Magazine, Genii among his numerous DVD's such as Sugar High, Magic at the Bar, Sweet, Heaven's Aces and his acclaimed best seller "Inception", said to be the "last word in to bill to lemon" by Doc Eason, Randall has grown in to not only a fine performer/creator but a stellar teacher throughout his experience in Lectures.

What are a few of the peices you'll leanr?:

Fly by Night- Chris' own unique approach to the hummer card which heightens the moment considerably. Inception - Doc Eason touts that this is the best bill to lemon. Ever. Sugar High - A sugar packet is taken from the dinner table and held in full view the whole time. The spectator picks a color the sugar packet is torn open and the sugar inside the pack is the selected color. The Street Talk- Chris' approach to stopping a crowd, making them stay, and making them pay.

... and much more!

"This has elements that I could see adopting into my routine and I have done it the same way for 30 years. This is pure gold. My hat is off to you pal. This is the last word on Bill In Lemon." -Doc Eason

"The Inception is Chris Randall at his best. It's a solid working routine from a real working magician." -Shawn Farquhar F.I.S.M Grand Prix winner

Mark Elsdon LIVE 2 (Penguin LIVE)


"Mark Elsdon is a renaissance man in magic. He is equally adept at inventing, performing, creating, and theorizing about magic. He consults for television, lectures, and performs, all with equal proficiency. And, he's one of my favorite guys to watch." - Joshua Jay

"Mark Elsdon is on a very short list of magic and mentalism's most creative innovators. When Mark lets me in on what he's working on, I'm ALWAYS fooled badly and find something to add to my own work." - Bill Abbott

"Mark Elsdon is my secret weapon. Well, he was until I told you about him. He's the first, and usually only, person I turn to when I get stuck. Why? Because he constantly finds unique and practical solutions to creating astonishing magic. The man's brain is a goldmine of quality ideas and material. And when not solving Rubik's cubes, one handed... whilst wearing a blindfold, he's out in the real world presenting this stuff live on stage and for performers on TV. Mark does that rare thing and gives away so much in a lecture. So take a notepad and pay attention." - Colin McLeod

"Mark is one of the most creative magicians or mentalists I know, with a depth of knowledge and an inherent understanding of what can turn a simple trick into a powerful mind-**** for laymen." - Quentin Reynolds

"Mark gives one of the most inspiring lectures I’ve ever seen. I envy you seeing him for the first time." - Marc Oberon

"I've known Mark for over 15 years, he is a fantastic performer, his effects are clear of clutter or too much process, something he taught me to reduce years ago. He always has a fresh angle on classics and creates some of the best commercial effects I've seen. I love his creations but also love watching him perform. You are in for a treat." - Marc Spelmann

3rd Dimension Telepathy By Paul Voodini


In 2011, Paul Voodini changed the face of the Q&A show with his groundbreaking 'Pure Q&A'. Returning to the arena of the Q&A show, Paul now brings us '3rd Dimension Telepathy: Q&A for the Naked Generation'!

Imagine an ungimmicked Q&A show with no one-aheads, no stooges, no pre-show, no peeks, and no electronics! Now imagine that same Q&A show, but utilising imagery from a classic two person telepathy show! The performer and a legitimate volunteer work together to answer questions posed by the audience, questions that are genuinely unseen and unknown to the performer!

Paul also covers the use of Tarot cards in a Q&A show, and bibliomancy – a form of divination whereby answers are provided by the interpretation of phrases found within normal books. You will also discover Paul's 'Little Book of Fate', a multi-faceted tool that every mentalist should have in his/her armoury.

3rd Dimension Telepathy sees Paul once more pushing back the boundaries of mentalism.

Chairs of Fury by Joshua Burch


Imagine being able to perform an amazing chair test at the drop of the hat with 3 chairs a prediction and a single participant.

Many chair tests have been released which work great for a stage performance, Josh Burch has retooled the premise because he wanted to make it practical for an everyday environment.

Now you can do a chair routine with almost no props. Josh shares his go to chair prediction routine, all you need to perform it is three chairs, a participant and a specially prepared prediction. Ideas are explored in depth that explain how to perform the effect with the prediction written in an envelope, held by the spectator or written on a card box. There are even routines involved that don't use chairs at all. Imagine what you could do with that.

Pseudo Hypnotism by Devin Knight


This release teaches you how to combine a clever mental effect with REAL hypnosis to create an effect that can't be done with just regular hypnosis. This effect will help you stand out from the competition and increase your bookings.

Devin's bookings as a hypnotist have almost doubled since including this feat in his shows. This effect can also be used as an emergency effect when nobody goes into hypnosis. You can do this effect and it will appear to be real hypnosis.

Magicians and mentalists can use this as a pseudo hypnotic trick in their shows, as it is not necessary to have the person really hypnotized, but if the person is really hypnotized then the effect is much more amazing to the subject!

The performer shows four opaque envelopes and says they each contain a different color card. All four envelopes are given to a hypnotized person on stage that has his eyes open. The hypnotist tells the person to mix the envelopes so no one can know which colors are inside.

The performer says when he counts to three that the subject will have x-ray vision for real and will be able to see through the opaque envelopes and tell everyone which color is inside each one. The hypnotized subject will actually see colors insides the envelope while under hypnosis!

He hands the hypnotist an envelope and says what color is inside. The hypnotist writes this color on the envelope in FULL VIEW of the audience. Nothing is hidden. The hypnotized subject repeats this with two more of the envelopes with the hypnotist writing the colors in full view on the envelopes.

The subject has one envelope left in his hand and the hypnotist asked him to use his x-ray vision to name the color inside. Without touching the envelope, the hypnotist tells the subject to open the envelope and remove the card inside. Much to the amazement of both the subject and the audience, the colored card he removes is the color he just said it was, using his x-ray vision!

Each envelope is handed back to the subject with the request that he opens it and removes the card inside. IN EVERY CASE, THE CARD IS THE SAME COLOR WRITTEN ON THE ENVELOPE. The hypnotized subject, even though hypnotized will be blown away that he was 100% correct. The audience will go crazy with applause as such a thing does not appear possible. This can be done with volunteers in chairs behind you with no chance of exposure. The hypnotist asks the audience if they are convinced the person really has x-ray vision since he was 100% correct, most will nod their heads in agreement. Now the big laughs will follow. The hypnotist says he will give all the volunteers on stage x-ray vision and that everyone on stage can now see through the clothes of everyone in the audience.

Hysterical laughter will come forth from the audience, as they will wonder if the people on stage can really see through their clothes. Women will cover their breasts and others will duck down because they think the people on stage really have x-ray vision. One of the funniest bits you can do in a hypnotic show.

No gimmicked marker
No double-sided colored cards
No pretend writing
No angle problems
Do it surrounded
No sleights
No forces of any kind
No one ahead or behind methods
"This is a good mentalism trick showing how I can use my psychic to energize the latent psychic abilities of a participant, as well as being a good trick when the participant is hypnotized, because then the participant has the hallucination from the x-ray vision suggestion. I will always use this in my mentalism show, because for the performer it has a streamlined simplicity where there is no sleight of hand, and I can concentrate on presentation."
- Ronald Levy

Comes with full directions, and all needed envelopes and color cards.

KINGS NEVER DIE by Fraser Parker

Propless Mentalism is our dearest love! We are by no means exaggerating when we say creating keeps us sane.Yet she is deeply misunderstood. We are inundated daily with mountains of questions and concerns pertaining to the effective performance of this genre of material. Our passion for the art and devotion to helping our fellow performers on their journey led us to attempt an unprecedented project:

KINGS NEVER DIE.KINGS NEVER DIE will allow our customers to join us for an in depth discussion of the art and craft that is propless mentalism. Imagine being a “fly on the wall” for one of our creative sessions, and being privy to a collection of structured conversations, geared towards answering the most frequent questions we receive from customers and fellow performers.We will begin by studying two of our most revolutionary releases: Ouija and Ecrof. Both will be explained in depth - alongside tips, touches and never before seen additional concepts and applications.

A full exploration will follow of what makes propless material so effective, and how success can be guaranteed across a diverse range of performing environments. These are the REAL SECRETS of mentalism: timing, context, character and spectator control. We guarantee that this conversation will give you the confidence to effectively and reliably perform propless effects in your work. The real joy of propless is in exploring the possibilities, and there’s plenty here for our technique junkies! The remainder of the discussion is a hailstorm of completely unreleased techniques!Previously unreleased effects included in KINGS NEVER DIE:Name guess where the spectator says nothing out loud and the performer doesn't have to name letters. Works in any language.Physical card force, in which spectator thinks of a card they see in a spread after shuffling.

A completely impromptu psychometry routine, which uses no gaffs, gimmicks or electronics. The performer simply touches an object, and is immediately able to give a detailed reading of the spectator and hand it straight back to them, even with their eyes fully closed.A propless which hand routine, in which the performer is not only able to locate which hand the coin is held in multiple times, but to conclude by demonstrating that he'd verbally predicted its location from the start.A propless spectator as mind reader routine. You briefly explain to a spectator how to read another participant's tells. The first spectator is then able to win 3 rounds of which hand in a row.The performer is able to determine a thought of month simply by having the spectator imagine the sites, sounds and weather. Nothing is said by the spectator. A method is also provided to nail an exact thought of date, without complex mathematical processes, anagrams, or any of the usual methods.

Pablo Amira Polarity

Injecting a thought into someone's subconscious is a feat to remember, but let's take this card trick a bit further. Ask your spectator where a specific card is in the deck. Naturally, they won't know because they have just thoroughly shuffled it. You announce that subconsciously they already know where their card is. Have them deal the cards onto the table until they 'feel' like they have reached their selected card, they then place that card face down on the pile. 

You display the entire deck to reveal that the one card they were capriciously looking for was the one card that they placed face down!

With Polarity, your spectator doesn't just shuffle the deck; they also deal the cards and select their own card. The best magic is the magic that your spectator controls and Polarity gives them the freedom to control the performance with the outcome that you want.

- Easy to learn, easy to perform
- Instant reset
- No sleight of hand
- No sticky stuff
- Live performance & multiple handlings included
- Custom Bicycle gimmick cards included

Polarity is inspired on the Proton Deck by Gary Ouellet, which is based in Ed Marlo's Open Prediction 12th.

Tyler Wilson LIVE (Penguin LIVE)


"Tyler Wilson is quite inconsistent: One moment he makes you cry with laughter and the next he fools your socks off! His problem, really, is one of talent: Way too much of everything!" - Pit Hartling

"Devious thinking is the way I like to describe Tyler's material. You will learn and be inspired by this crazy mother*ucker." - Helder Guimarães

"Tyler Wilson is too wise for his years, and too skilled, and too funny. He makes me nervous, but you should see him anyway." - Stephen Minch

"Fortunately, after Tyler Wilson turns your brain inside out, he doesn't tear it in half as most magicians do with Card Warp. (He just leaves it before you, dangling from your spinal cord as you try to reconcile the miracles you've witnessed.) You're in for a real treat - don't miss him!" - Jack Carpenter

"Reinventing The Real is the best and most exciting book on close-up magic I've read in a long time. In it, Tyler Wilson shows himself wonderfully inventive, a serious student of his craft and very funny. The only fault this book has is that I'm not publishing it.” - Stephen Minch

“There are very few magic books that make me laugh on purpose. This one did. I have not met Mr. Wilson, but it is clear that he is impressively well read, and threateningly clever. Had I not read it first, this material would have fooled me. Thus, I’d probably find it difficult to like him." - Max Maven

"Wow! Reinventing The Real has so much variety it could have been called Kamasutricks. The book is an inspiring read. It's full of unique presentations, methods, and strong effects. Make room on your bookshelf and get ready to add to your repertoire." - Ray Kosby

“Reinventing The Real is a well-written and well-produced book with great magic, solid methods, terrific presentations and spot on references and credits.” - Jason England

What will he teach?
B52 Shooter Imagine a deck unequivocally shuffled face up into face down, and then magically separated so explosively that the cards look like they're doing parkour. With a new presentation, new method, and new climax, it's almost unfair to call this a Triumph. So we won't.

Stick it to the Man Imagine a spectator frantically sticking Post-it Notes all over the magician's body. While seeming purely random and in complete control of the spectator, a prediction is revealed to perfectly match her choices and movements. This is a fooling and highly memorable routine which proves that mentalism doesn't have to be boring.

Occam's Edge Keep imagining, but this time imagine that you could slowly vanish a card using no gimmicks and no sleight of hand. In fact, you use literally nothing. This is a new concept that is fantastically versatile, with applications ranging from vanishes to appearances to transportations to transpositions, and many others.

Shortser Cut Imagine even harder that with a stack of coins in front of you, you could reach down and instantly snatch any amount that the spectator calls for. Doing it once would be cool, but this is a three-phase powerhouse that gets more and more impressive each step of the way.

Coke Inhabit Imagine way, way harder that you flipped the classic Coin-in-Bottle trick on its head. This is an entirely new concept for the trick that lets you give the bottle away as a souvenir, with the coin still inside. No folding coins, no gimmicks, no kidding. There's a feature about this routine that we're holding back — we don't want to ruin the surprise!

Inspected Gadget Imagine as crazy hard as you possibly can that you held the cleanest Card-to-Envelope in your hands. This is the innovative new principle that all the big named magicians are raving about. It's clean, easy, practical, and deeply fooling. The best part is that it's not limited to just cards and envelopes: this principle is as versatile and customizable that you want to make it.

All this, plus over two dozen more highly original tricks and techniques from one of magic's most passionate and captivating performers.
Who is he?
Tyler Wilson broke Penguin.

Tyler came to our Penguin studios with a single purpose: to destroy every lecture record we have. And he succeeded. Clocking in at nearly six hours, never have we packed so much fresh, innovative magic into one event. It's like you're getting two full lectures (just don't tell our pricing guy that!). Permeating through every minute, you'll experience Tyler's unique blend of funny and painfully unfunny, and you often won't know which is which.

You know Tyler from his highly acclaimed, and best-selling books, Dominatricks and Reinventing the Real. Here's your chance to see his material jump off the page and into your brain. Illiterates rejoice! But routines from his books are only the beginning. From there, you're treated to old killers that he's held back from publishing for years, and new killers that he totally wanted to hold back but needed the money.

Come see this creative powerhouse at work, at play, and at his best. Here's your chance to experience this one-of-a-kind, record-breaking lecture. We can't wait for him to break us again.

BANDIT by Darryl Davis & Daryl Williams


The most shocking magic doesn’t happen in your hands. After all, you do sleight-of-hand; magic is SUPPOSED to happen in your hands.

TRULY SHOCKING magic happens INSIDE YOUR SPECTATORS’ HANDS.

And BANDIT not only happens inside your spectators’ hands…WHEN it happens, they lose their s#!t.

Here’s how the trick looks:

1) You CLEANLY display two rubber bands. You place one of them inside your spectator’s hand. She can see it there—just one band—until the very last second, when she closes her hand.

2) You take the second rubber band…and make it disappear in the CLEANEST WAY CONCEIVABLE. It goes into your hand…and then IT’S JUST GONE. You can show both hands front and back. Nowhere to be found.

3) She opens her hand…and, you guessed it: The second rubber band has REAPPEARED INSIDE HER HAND, along with the first one.

4) She FREAKS the f*#k out. (I include this as a step of the trick because it happens pretty much every time.)

SPECIAL NOTE FOR BEGINNER MAGICIANS: If you’ve never done a trick like this before, prepare for the biggest reactions of your life.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR ADVANCED MAGICIANS:
If you’re familiar with ‘the sponge ball trick’ you know how powerful this premise can be. Also, if you’re familiar with THAT trick, you’re going to LOVE all the thinking and refinements that made THIS trick possible. Both the ‘load’ and the ‘vanish’ are accomplished in COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAYS—ways that take advantage of the basic properties of rubber bands. And, of course, the biggest advantage of using rubber bands in place of sponge balls is: Sponge Balls look suspicious—like they came from a magic shop. Whereas everyone already knows what rubber bands are and how they’re supposed to look. So using bands puts the focus on the magic, not the props.

FINAL NOTES TO ALL:

-When you receive the download, you’ll not only get Daryl Williams and Darryl Davis’s complete teaching; you’ll get TWO FULLY SEPARATE vanishes. Combine those with the original two-phase routine and really you’re getting 4 tricks for the price of one.

-Unlike so many rubber band tricks out there, you don’t need sleeves or trick rubber bands to make the magic happen. Short sleeves and regular rubber bands will get the job done. And in this case “getting the job done” is code for FREAKING PEOPLE OUT.

-Rick Lax

Notes and credits: The core of the vanish comes from James Chadier and was presented on a DVD produced by Kyle Marlett. Further trick refinements come from Rick Lax, Jake Roeber, and Justin Flom.

Position Impossible by Brent Braun


"A VERY strong card at any number attainable to magicians of every skill level! I WILL use this!" -Cody S. Fisher

"Brent just killed any brain cells I'm left with!" - Titanas

Brent has been using Position Impossible to close his shows for over 5 years. It is now your chance to learn why.

No memorization
No mathematics
No stacked deck
No sleight of hand
No rough and smooth
No sticky stuff
No switch

The cards are genuinely shuffled
The cards are on the table and out of the magician's control before a number between 1-52 is even thought of.
Yes, it's this clean every time with no need to displace, move, or hide any cards. The spectator names any number and the selected card is always at that exact number; never one before or after but always at that exact number and the other 51 cards can be shown.

Position Impossible creates this theatrically beautiful moment where the spectator looks at every card and doesn't see hers. She knows the one on the table has to be hers but she also knows that impossible.

Position Impossible contains everything you need, including a 30 minute video download that walks you through the routine step by step.

Position Impossible is custom manufactured and available in a very limited supply. Once these are gone they may never be available again.

Tarbell 52: Mental and Psychic Mysteries


Mentalism is perhaps the most challenging form of mystery entertainment. Your premise must be sound, your process streamlined, and your presentation flawless.

Learning to entertain with mentalism helps in all other aspects of our art. In this lesson, you'll learn how to connect with your audience on a whole new level.

I begin with a simple, yet clever, method from Richard Himber that I further disguise allowing you to duplicate a magazine page with artistic precision.

Then, I give you a modern twist on an impossible addition prediction with a calculated method (hiding in plain sight) that always gives you the result you desire.

There's even a variation for a do-it-yourself approach, but be warned, you will have to do the math. I suggest a device you probably haven't seen in a long time.

Next, I teach you how to find hidden money, or play a blind game of three-card-monte where you can name the money card without ever having seen it.

And, for the first time ever, I share my completely impromptu way to separate the good from the bad, know who wrote what, and even exactly what they wrote.

Plus, I go the distance, taking one lucky person for a ride to an isolated location, where I read the minds of five helpers still on-stage back at the theater.

You'll also learn a very direct way to predict many random choices made by your audience, how to influence the audience to hit a hidden target date, and how to make an imaginary journey become suddenly real, complete with a souvenir postcard. And I finish this lesson with a drawing duplication as direct as it gets.

There's a lot to learn here, and I predict you'll be pleasantly surprised how well these updated presentations play for a modern audience.

Finger Wave by Dan Hauss



If there’s one thing Dan Hauss is known for, it’s creating ingenious effects that appear both bold and deceptively simple. His goal with magic is to accomplish as much as possible with as little as possible, thus leading to the inception of his newest effect, Finger Wave.

Don’t let its seemingly effortless fluidity fool you, this effect is actually the result of years of refining. With nothing but a wave of your hand, a rubber band jumps from one finger to the other. It’s as simple as that, but the true genius of this trick is it’s versatility.

Retention Z By Zee J Yan




Every once in a while a technique in magic influences the way other magicians perform, making it THE GOLD STANDARD. One of the most difficult moves to master in magicLAM Med 03-2 is the ability to vanish a coin at the fingertips in the most visual way possible. We call it the retention of vision vanish.

James Dickson - Aberdeen Thread


Break a thread into pieces and slowly, visually restore it.
You reveal a length of thread and give to the spectator to examine. You break it into multiple pieces. The pieces are shown separate, one-by-one, then rolled into a ball. Slowly, you pull the ends of the string to reveal that it has been fully, impossibly restored. The spectator can examine everything - and keep the restored thread as a souvenir.

The Gypsy Thread dates back to 1584. The plot was mentioned in The Discoverie of Witchcraft, one of the first books on magic ever published. In the past, the effect was somewhat cumbersome and required a significant amount of setup. ABERDEEN annihilates all of that.

The spectator can examine the string before and after the effect.
ABERDEEN takes the classic Gypsy Thread trick to an entirely new level. Everything is handled fairly. No fumbling around to conceal the method: the secret is hidden in plain sight. Multiple routines are taught - including a 100% impromptu presentation.

Creator James Dickson guides you through the subtleties and nuances that make this one of the most astonishing, beautiful, elegant magic effects you’ll ever perform. Includes enough Aberdeen Thread for hundreds of performances - you’ll have everything you need.

Move Zero (Vol 1) by John Bannon and Big Blind Media


An incredible 2 hour extravaganza on self-working card magic.

John Bannon's Move Zero is undoubtedly the most exciting study of self-working card magic this century.

There is not one sleight in any of the eight featured jawdroppingly impossible routines. That's right - no sleight of hand. None. No moves, no sleights. Yet despite being automatic in method, each and every effect is a staggering, explosive, layered stunner. And contrary to expectation of how powerful sleight free magic can be, these tricks will decimate any audience (be they magicians, lay people, even sometimes yourself).

Each routine is achieved with nothing more than an ordinary deck of cards. No gaffs, pencil dots, 'marks', gimmicks or extra cards. Many are also entirely impromptu!

And it is not just incredible tricks you are learning here. The fascinating, detailed explanations Bannon provides on MOVE ZERO reveal his incredible thinking about method, applied subtlety and intelligent layering. MOVE ZERO will help you turbo charge ALL your sleight free magic. This is a true masterclass in trick construction.

On MOVE ZERO you'll also learn seven essential techniques to put into your own 'trickbag'. These are the building blocks of self-working magic. From false cuts done in the open to card forces that spectators can unleash on THEMSELVES!

Forget everything you think you know about self-working card magic. It's time to plug into MOVE ZERO.

PRAISE FOR MOVE ZERO -

"I knew it would be good, but truly it's one of the best things I've seen in years!"
- Iain Moran

"A generous insight into a devious mind. Clever, confounding card magic."
- R Paul Wilson

"Every effect is so well layered and structured and you will not only learn the 'how's' but the all important 'whys'."

Quarterly Report by Rick Lax


IT IS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE POWER OF SUBCONSCIOUS INFLUENCE.

At least, that’s how it SEEMS…

This is Quarterly Report, a new routine by Rick Lax. It isn’t meant to FOOL spectators; it’s meant to leave them thinking you have the POWER to CONTROL THEIR ACTIONS…with your WORDS.

Like a Jedi.

It doesn’t end with “Ta-da!”; it ends with a scientific explanation of HOW you did WHAT you did.

Now, as it happens, this “scientific explanation” is a COMPLETE LIE…but your spectators will believe it EVERY TIME. It’s THAT convincing.

Here’s how the demonstration looks:

You give a quarter to a spectator. You tell her that in a minute she’ll hold it in one of her hands…but that you ALREADY know which hand she’s going to put it in. She mixes the coin up, brings it forward…and then you PROVE to her that you knew EXACTLY where it would end up.

It’s easy to do and easy to carry. It’s the PERFECT lead-in to any other psychological demonstration you already perform.

Oh, and if you don’t already perform a psychological demonstration; Rick will teach you a BONUS demonstration, on the download. NO EXTRA CHARGE.

Quarterly Report isn’t flashy. It’s not going to make people scream. BUT it WILL FULLY convince your friends and spectators that you can CONTROL THEIR ACTIONS WITH YOUR WORDS.

Powerful, next-level stuff. For real.

Larry Hass LIVE (Penguin LIVE)


"In reading Inspirations, the new book by Dr. Larry Hass, I can’t count the number of times I said to myself, “Larry is crazy for giving away this routine!” Really, who would give away such strong, well thought out, killer material for the price of a book? I’ll tell you who! Someone who cares deeply about the Art of Magic! Someone who wants to elevate the level of Magic. Someone who loves Magic and Magicians, that’s who. The tricks in this book are great, but the thinking behind them and the philosophy behind the thinking are even more impressive. I congratulate my friend, Dr. Larry! With the publication of Inspirations he has made a significant and long-lasting contribution to our art. This is required reading for the serious student, amateur, and professional." - Lance Burton

"Larry Hass has become the contemporary Henning Nelms. [His book] Inspirations is every bit as essential to today’s thinking performers as Nelms’s Magic and Showmanship was generations ago." - Ross Johnson

"Just got my hands on a preview copy of Inspirations: Performing Magic with Excellence. The tricks are cool, the essays are clear and to the point. The amount of wisdom, advice, information and guidance that my pal Larry Hass has managed to generate, distill, extract, and present in one book is amazing." - Mac King

"Larry Hass has personally helped me become a better magician and a deeper thinker.  This book, [Transformations] will help you become a very smart magician. The routines are wonderful, the essays inspiring, and the messages profound." - Jeff McBride

"Larry Hass is not only a fantastic performer who puts meaning and love into the magic he performs, he’s also a lovely human being, which shines through and endears him to his audiences." - Suzanne

"Thank you, Larry, for doing so much to help raise the intellectual level of our beloved Art of Magic!" - Juan Tamariz

"Larry Hass is an inspiring teacher and a joyful man to know." - Teller

"Inspirations is a beguiling and thoughtful collection of essays and routines from one of magic’s progressive practitioners." - Rob Zabrecky

What will he teach?
Magicians typically think of magic in terms of close-up, stand-up, and stage. In this lecture, Lawrence Hass will show that there are at least seven distinct styles or venues of magic by teaching routines from his professional repertoire that are tailored for each of them.

The Intuition Test – Lawrence’s highly acclaimed borrowed deck, magician-fooling card mystery. Sleight-free and repeatable!

How to Find Your Other Half – Lawrence’s celebrated handling for Woody Aragon’s card routine, in which an overtly mathematical sequence is replaced with a free choice!

Blind Man’s Poker – A deep-fooling version of Bob Farmer’s “Tsunami.” It sold out quickly in 2008 when it was released as a limited manuscript. Now you can learn this professional routine and all of Lawrence’s latest work on it.

A Simple Gift – A go-to, “never-leave-the-house-without-it” piece of Gift Magic. Finally on video!

Walking Through Walls – A fast, flashy piece of coin magic, and a lesson in transforming a stunt into magic.

Showdown Poker – An entertaining, in-the-hands version of the Ten-Card Poker Deal. Perfect for walk-around!

The Banded Dollar Bill – Bob Neale’s unpublished method for folding a bill into an attractive band to encircle a packet of playing cards without tape or glue!

The Impossible Prediction, 3.0 – A deeply deceptive card prediction for the parlor, platform, or stage. Strong enough to close a show.

Tale of the Rabbi Magician – Utilizing a stand-up variation of Max Maven’s “Overdose,” this magical story is one of Lawrence’s signature effects.

Test Conditions Mind Reading – A fully realized theatrical experience of mind reading. A participant THINKS of any playing card and, without pumping, pre-show, or stooging, you name it.

Who is he?
Lawrence Hass, Ph.D. is the Associate Dean of Jeff McBride’s Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas, and former Professor of Philosophy and Theater Arts at Muhlenberg College. In 2010, he retired early from college teaching to pursue magic full time as a performer, teacher, and author.

Lawrence Hass creates magic shows that mix astonishing, artistic magic with ideas that lift the spirit. He performs at theaters, nightclubs, universities, public conferences, and corporate events all across America and internationally.

Dr. Hass has won multiple awards both as a writer and as an inspirational teacher of magic. He is the author of several highly acclaimed books for magicians, including Inspirations: Performing Magic with Excellence and Transformations: Creating Magic Out of Tricks.

Lawrence Hass’s visionary approach to magic as an art form has been featured in leading international media, including the New York Times, USAToday, on National Public Radio and the Discovery Channel, and in his recent TEDx Talk.


If you could ask ONE question to one of the world's most creative professional magicians, what would it be?

If you've never been to a magic lecture, there’'s never been a better time. Sunday, May 8th, at 7:00pm, we're live-streaming Larry Hass LIVE in a spectacular 2-hour interactive online lecture. Watch and learn things you won't find in any book or DVD.

USERNAME By Nefesch


Phones are now very personal items.

Long time ago in order to perform an effect with pictures; you would have to carry the pictures with you.

But now people carry pictures with them all the time. Million of pictures!!

Using your spectator's phone and his Instagram account the effect goes like this:

Your spectator selects FREELY any category of pictures. He searches for this category himself; then your spectator selects any picture he wants. This picture could have been uploaded by anybody in the whole world! Yet you read your spectator's mind and accurately find the username that uploaded that picture.

Totally impromptu, start clean, end clean.

Hands Down by The Other Brothers


This is, quite simply, one of the best close-up mentalism effect we have seen in the last few years. It's that good. You ask someone to write down the name of a friend. They hide the paper behind their back. You can tell them which hand the paper is hiding in, and then you divine the name of their friend.

Sometimes combining two great effects causes confusion. But sometimes the combination makes BOTH effects stronger. In this case, a center tear is combined with the "Which hand?" premise, and they work seamlessly together. The presentation guides the spectator logically from one amazing effect to the next. "Hands Down" takes less than two minutes to perform and leaves a memory that will last a lifetime.

There are multiple versions of this simple, but ingenious principle taught. In one version, you show the audience that you can keep track of every time the participant swaps hands. And another version uses the principle with playing cards, ending with a thought-of card reveal.

The effect is easy to do, explained in great detail, and does not involve any special apparatus (no magnets, rings, electronics, etc.). You can do it with objects found in any bar or venue.

Running time: 22 minutes.

Ross Johnson LIVE (Penguin LIVE)


“I am a huge fan of Mentalism and I consider Ross (Johnson) to be one of the absolutely convincing practitioners in this field. …I honestly feel he is the most convincing mentalist I have ever witnessed. I remember being spellbound the first time I watched Ross perform his classic Blindfold Act in a small nightclub. There was a slightly edgy sense of self-irritation in his performance that I just loved. If he didn’t get it quite right, it seemed to bug him and drive him further into uncovering hidden
details. He is truly a master of the wonderful world of mind reading.” - Nick Lewin

“Not only is Ross a wonderful friend and confidant; he is also the deliverer of the strongest performance of mystery I’ve ever witnessed.” - Paul Vigil

“Ross Johnson? He’ll make you shit your pants.” - Jay Marshall

What will he teach?

“Necessary Lies”: Lessons in Meat Fabrication

Stroop Deluxe (with all new vibrant colors) Three psychological routines that require precise scripting, but no gimmicks or digital adroitness. It is the words that fool.

Voice Print Lie detector effects that were inspired by a clever but rather unreliable method developed by Ned Rutledge. These effects are close to 100% sure.

Toss the Princess Out of Sight Playing cards in mentalism illustrated by three routines. Tossed Out Deck; Impostress Princess; Out of Sight, Out of Mind,

Omar's Prophecy Using the venerable one ahead technique in a way that is actually deceptive and relevant.

Caffeinated Coins A presentation of “Jackpot Coins” that takes it out of the realm of a mathematical puzzle.

Book Tests Three book tests that actually have a plot beyond the mere revelation of a word. 1) Mystery Book Test, 2) Money or Sex?, 3)Double Speak

Drawing Duplication A test conditions drawing duplication suitable for TV/Radio/Publicity environments.

Some Things Can't Be Taught, Only Learned A demonstration/discussion on the two pillars of mentalism, The Blindfold and Q & A. Why, more often than not, are these routines horribly presented, boring, and obvious? Why is it that in most mental acts there is absolutely no sense of a mind being read?

Who is he?
Ross Johnson has been a full time performing mentalist for more than 30 years. The material in this lecture is practical, doable, performance, and audience tested. Ross has strong opinions on what works and why. With an open mind you will learn much and may be inspired to change your way of thinking. You have an opportunity to become a real mentalist.
If you could ask ONE question to one of the world's most creative professional magicians, what would it be?

If you've never been to a magic lecture, there’'s never been a better time. Sunday, May 1st, at 7:00pm, we're live-streaming Ross Johnson LIVE in a spectacular 2-hour interactive online lecture. Watch, ask questions, and learn things you won't find in any book or DVD.

Another Invisible Mark by I-Magic


The magician shows 4 cards, each card has the same red-back.

He says he is going to reveal the secret of how magicians secretly mark the cards to find out which card is which...

However, the spectator cannot see the marks... because they are invisible...

Now the magician makes a magical gesture to make the invisible marks visible...

One at a time, the secret invisible mark changes into "visible" marks...

All cards have been exposed...

But here comes an extra surprise...

The "heart" is NOT just marked on the card. There is an actual open hole in it!!

This item has been performed at F.F.F.F. convention by Hayafumi and is critically-acclaimed!!

(NOTE)
Please provide your own close-up pad or mat in black color, for the climax effect.

Priceless by Michel Huot and Richard Sanders


ANY PRICE NAMED is instantly seen HANGING ON A PRICE TAG... anywhere on your clothing!

From the minds of Michel Huot and Richard Sanders comes a comedy mentalism breakthrough.

Effect:
Walk up to anyone...
"How much do you think I paid for my jacket?"
They name ANY PRICE, example ".25" (which you jot down on a notepad)
Immediately, you look up and say, "I didn't pay .25 for my jacket"
"In fact, I didn't pay anything for it... I just took it!"
Instantly, you remove your jacket, REVEALING A SECURITY TAG with a price tag hanging from it. (This is a very funny moment!)
As the laughter subsides... they notice the price on the price tag... miraculously, it's .25!

Priceless is an organic, impossible prediction built into a comedy prop, a security tag.
This can be played for laughs or as a serious mentalism piece.

Any numbers named instantly appears on a price tag hanging from ANY PART OF YOUR CLOTHING.
- Inside your jacket
- On your back
- On the back of your shirt (with your jacket over it)
- Under the collar of your jacket
- and more...

Priceless comes with:
- 1 Custom designed security tag gimmick
- 2 different plastic, dry/wet erase price tags (that will last a lifetime)
- 1 wet erase marker
- A 90 minute video tutorial guiding you though every nuance of this amazing effect
- Plus LIVE PERFORMANCES both ON STAGE at a comedy club and CLOSE-UP in various venues

Features:
- Close-up or stage

Reverse Psychology by Rick Lax


It’s NOT JUST A TRICK.

It’s a TEN-CARD ROUTINE packed with moments of HUMOR, PSYCHOLOGY, REVERSE-PSYCHOLOGY…and ultimately AWE.

Your spectators will think you got INSIDE THEIR BRAINS…and the harder they try to get you out, THE DEEPER IN YOU GO.

You cleanly show 10 cards. Each card has a special message on it, designed to ATTRACT or REPEL the spectator from choosing it. “PICK ME,” “DON’T PICK ME,” “YES,” “NO”—that sort of thing. Your spectator freely chooses one of the cards. And then you show her DEFINITIVE PROOF that you KNEW WHICH CARD SHE’D PICK…BEFORE SHE PICKED IT.

You’ll be able to make your own set of REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY cards from a normal deck and a Sharpie within five minutes. You’ll be performing it within fifteen. But know this: Reverse Psychology is EVERY BIT AS POWERFUL as it is EASY TO DO.

-Rick Lax

Special Message to Advanced Magicians
If you’re familiar with the Olram Subtlety and Trost’s work on it, you’re ESPECIALLY going to LOVE the verbal/psychological ploys that Lax has added to Marlo’s classic count. These subtleties not only allow you to achieve an amazing, streamlined effect with ONE deck of cards, they also allow for an organic presentation, where the spectator isn’t just picking a random card; she’s trying to resist a barrage of psychological influences.

THANK YOU TO: Justin Flom, Bizzaro, Nick Diffatte, Ryan Stock, AmberLynn, Jake Roeber, Front Row Mo, Marlo, Trost

Illegal by Ravi Mayar


This trick is a perfect ice-breaker. Stick it in your wallet, and you've ALWAYS got a cool trick with you.

Here's the effect: You tear a dollar, hold the pieces in plain sight, and then restore it visually. It's really stunning.

Nothing to hide in your hands, no sleight of hand. You don't need to say a word. But here's the best part! Unlike other torn bill tricks, this one can be repeated over and over again without requiring you to keep ruining more dollars. That is why you're going to love this. It's a WORKER.

This is a cool new method that you set up ONE TIME. It takes up no space, carry it in your wallet and you're ALWAYS ready to go.
