Jared Kopf - Any Cards At Any Numbers

Image 1
A stunning feat of the mind, Jared Kopf's Any Cards at any Numbers will leave your audience stunned and take your reputation to a whole new level. Imagine, a spectator and yourself choose two separate cards. Then, as if by a miracle, you know the position of their selection, and they know the exact position of yours.

An intricately woven architecture makes Kopf's effect absolutely baffling--to both laymen and conjurors alike. If you're looking for a new closing effect, or just a hard-hitting stand alone piece, you have to pick up Any Cards at any Numbers. You won't regret it.

And for those of you familiar with Karl Fulves' work, Jared has streamlined and improved a diabolical method you may already know.

The Butterfly Effect by Peter Nardi


Around ten years ago Peter Nardi created an effect that has been shared with very few magicians. It's his go to "magician fooler" and makes a really nice presentation piece to perform for lay people. It uses a regular deck, the process is ultra-fair and the reveal is jaw-dropping!

In 2015 Peter Nardi featured this effect in his lectures and the response was incredible. He has had so many requests to release this to the community and he is happy to say his good friend Titanas finally convinced him to put his work on the Butterfly Effect on DVD.

On this DVD you will learn Peter Nardi's complete handling and presentation for the Butterfly Effect as well as some additional ideas that he has kept secret for a long time.

Not only that but you will also receive two custom printed reveal cards and a printable PDF for Peter Nardi's parlour presentation Fate & Free Will.

The Butterfly Effect is a self-working masterpiece that you will love performing!

Chris Philpott's End-of-my-Rope Trick

I can't believe you fooled me so hard that I'm putting down my cards to learn a rope trick!" - Jon Armstrong

“Wow! Amazing! I've been working on the multiple cut rope plot for several years and that first performance with the rope tied around the wrists both completely fooled AND excited me!” - Bill Abbott

“The cutting is really convincing, which is essential for a strong effect, and the restoration is as visual and impressive as Anderson's flash restoration in his newspaper tear.” - Tom Stone

“Congratulations to my good friend Chris Philpott on releasing what has to be one of the greatest rope tricks of all time!” - Steve Valentine


From the creator of The 100th Monkey comes a new, versatile and incredibly visual method for rope magic!

The magician coils a rope, and has a spectator cut through all the strands – the magician then throws the many pieces and they join in the air! The rope is never covered or switched and it can be examined before and after the effect!

The End-of-my-Rope Trick is a stunning stand-alone trick, but it’s also the perfect climax for a variety of other rope routines. Chris (an award-winning screenwriter) has found a way to raise the stakes on classic rope routines while staying true to the original premise. This is a game-changer!

Can be used with a myriad of materials – from chain links to mouth coils – and with a variety of effects. It makes a perfect finish for a ring-on-string routine: you can thread a string through a ring four times then pull it right off! It also works as a rope penetration: thread a coiled rope over your arm or leg and then pull it right through!

The End-of-my-Rope trick is not self-working, but it's not difficult. It's in the easy to medium range, depending on the variation you choose. A person with no sleight-of-hand chops can do some variations with just a few hours of practice.

And while many routines are included on this DVD, there is also incredible potential for new effects with this method.

Sight Unseen Revelations by Devin Knight


From the lost files of Jason Michaels comes one of the most devious and baffling psychic card routines every invented!

It is a four-phase routine in which you locate selected cards SIGHT UNSEEN. It was one of the most talked about feats of Jason Michaels and even fooled the skeptics. This appears in print for the first time.

Jason never liked using blindfolds except for blindfolded drives and even then he put newspaper over the windshield. The reason for this is that no matter how clever or deceptive a blindfold is, there are always people who still think somehow you can see through it. Jason developed a blindfold routine, not using a blindfold. He invited a lady to come forward from the audience and cover his closed eyes with her hands. Try it yourself. Seeing is impossible.

Under these conditions he developed a multi-phase card revelation routine that was done using genuinely shuffled decks, while the lady had her hands over his eyes. Now hear this, there are NO STACKS of any kind. The effects below are accurately described. This is exactly what happens in the real performance.

Effect 1: The performer's eyes are covered by the lady's hands and a spectator freely selects a card from a deck. There is no force of any kind. He returns the card to the deck and genuinely shuffles the cards BEFORE handing the deck back to the performer. Finding the card would seem impossible, especially since the performer cannot see (he really can't). In a matter of seconds while the lady still has his eyes covered, he correctly locates the card. Baffling beyond words.

Effect 2: A second spectator selects a card from a deck in his own hands and buries it into the deck and hands the deck to the performer. Again there was no force of any kind. The performer puts the deck into his jacket pocket for a few seconds and removes it and gives it back to the spectator. Remember, the performer still cannot see. The spectator is asked to look through the deck for his freely selected card; it has vanished from the deck. He reaches into the performer's side pocket and there is his card. There are no duplicate cards and the selected card could be signed! Nothing else is in the pocket but the selected card.

EFFECT 3: Both spectators shuffle the deck and give it back to you. You spread the cards and have one selected and returned. You give the deck a few cuts and turn it face up and hand the face card to the spectator. It is his card. Positively no sleight of hand card control. No double cuts or breaks.

EFFECT 4: The strongest phase of all. This time, both spectators select a card, while your eyes are still covered and returns them to the deck. You riffle the cards and ask the lady to tell you when to stop. She does so and you turn that card face up and say you will use it to locate the other two spectator's cards. Leaving the card face up you cut it into the deck and cut the deck several times and hand it to one of the spectators. He spreads until he comes to the face up card and removes the cards on both sides of it. Believe it or not, these are the two selected cards. Positively no sleight of hand required to do this location, it is almost self-working.

FINALE: While your eyes are still covered, you ask the lady to concentrate on her card. Believe it or not, you name her card. It seems impossible that you could do this since the cards have been repeatedly shuffled by the spectators and keeping track of any card would seem impossible.

Remember the lady keeps her fingers over your eyes from start to finish. She never removes them anytime during the routine allowing you to get a peek at anything. This is why the routine is so baffling. Also the cards are genuinely shuffled by the spectators between each phase. This is why the routine seems so impossible, but is exactly as described.

These are all one man-effects that require no secret assistants or codes.

NO ELECTRONICS
NO STOOGES
NO STACKS USED AT ANYTIME, UNLIKE OTHER ROUTINES ON THE MARKET. No extra cards, just a deck of 52 cards.
NO DIFFICULT SLEIGHTS, all you need is the ability to handle cards while your eyes are covered. This is easy with a bit of practice.
YOU REALLY CANNOT SEE, YOU ARE TOTALLY BLINDED DURING THE ENTIRE ROUTINE.
Review:

"Sight Unseen Revelations is a well thought out method for doing a stepwise series of four card revelations that build to a climactic fourth revelation. All four need not be done at the same performance. What is amazing is that they are all meant to be done while the performer's eyes are securely covered from behind by a spectator, so that the performer cannot see! It is if the performer does the card revelations while being blind! These card revelations are interesting enough that they would be entertaining even if the performer could see. Devin has choreographed them into an astounding blindfold card routine, which has a young woman standing behind him covering his eyes at every step, (which is a more secure method of rendering the performer sightless than any blindfold.)"
- Ron Levy

Complete with printed directions and two professionally made gimmicks from the US PLAYING CARD company. The finest gimmicks of this type you will find. No need to try to make gimmicks, when you get two professionally made gimmicks for both blue & red bicycle decks.

Some unsolicited reviews:

"Tequila Hustler is one of the finest effects ever created for mentalists. An absolute solid gold gem of creative and deceptive insight." - Ian Rowland

"Tequila Hustler is brilliant, this is the cleanest and easiest 'which hand effect' I have ever seen." - Titanas

"I very rarely praise anything... as I think too many times things are hyped, over priced and many times add nothing to move a plot forward, but thankfully, to me TH was well worth it and I'm glad I purchased it. As someone else said... I will use this for the rest of my life." - Steve Haynes

"This is really brilliant, and I do not like to hype things. So, it is no hype from my side." - Jan Forster

"If you liked Marks CAM books then you will love this. It's the best thing he's released for years (and he's released some good stuff!) It's just brilliant how simple it is to do and the thinking in this booklet really is worth so much more than its price. After using this last night I absolutely love it and will use it forever." - Sean Giles

"I sometimes see posts along the lines of "I wish he didn't release this as I want it all to myself" and I just thought of them as advertising hype from a stooged friend. Not any more. I really wish this was kept under wraps." - Stephen Young

LOCKJAW by Pierric


Featuring multiple live performances, in both close-up and stand-up environments.

"Lockjaw is very important to me. It's an audience tested routine I've been performing in my professional repertoire for the last 10 years. And it's always everyone's favorite trick." -Pierric

The 2015 FISM Grand Prix Champion, "Pierric" has been performing magic at the VERY highest levels. Today, he's finally teaching his favorite card routine. Perfected over a decade of live performances for audiences of 1 up to 1,000.

1. This is a fully polished, scripted routine with multiple phases. Not just a quick trick. It's ready to go right into your act, whether you do walk-around bar magic, or stand-up.

PROFESSIONALS: The best in the world, teaching a masterpiece they've been perfecting for a decade?? Doesn't get better than that!! Once you learn the routine, you'll have a piece of entertainment you can perform with any deck of cards, anywhere in the world.

And as an international performer of the highest caliber, Pierric knows the value of tricks that are amazing even when there's a language barrier. By any measure, Lockjaw is a WINNER.

Julios Psychic Pizza by Ben Harris


Julio's Psychic Pizza is an EASY TO PERFORM and completely SELF-WORKING prediction that allows a SPECTATOR to predict a pizza style (olives and anchovies, Italian, classic, Hawaiian, etc) and the appropriate base (thick or thin) AND an accompanying BEVERAGE (milkshake, iced tea, cola, orange juice,

The performer introduces a colorful and glossy menu from Julio's Psychic Pizza Shop (est. 1971). Printed on the inside is a psychic circle of pizza styles representing what's available. The spectator thinks of ANY NUMBER BETWEEN 1-1000 (no force) and counts around the circle (either clockwise or anti-clockwise - free choice) to select the topping, the base, and an accompanying drink.

Once done, the audience imagines the finished product (let's say a Hawaiian on a thick base with a Pepsi on the side.) Then, to everyone's surprise the menu is flipped over and the EXACT SAME PIZZA and DRINK is photographed on the menu's back. A perfect hit.

This is a great effect to leave lying around the house, office, or in your car's glovebox, just waiting for someone to say, "I'm feeling hungry."

Please note:

No forces, the spectator can think of ANY number from 1-1000
8 pizza styles available to choose from
2 pizza bases available to choose from
8 drink options available to choose from
Color menu can be printed out on a home printer
Both A4 and letter-sized artwork supplied
EASY and AUTOMATIC

Novel Publicity For Magicians by Devin Knight


Publicity is the lifeblood of any magician. No matter how skilled you are or how great your act is, unless people know about you, then there are no bookings. The theater remains empty. Publicity equals bookings and attendance for your public shows. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

Devin Knight (aka Jason Michaels) is a master of publicity. Thousands of stories about him have appeared in the media. The Associated Press even picked up some of his stories and spread them to thousands of newspapers worldwide.

Most magicians are aware of doing blindfolded drives and headline predictions, but this ebook goes far beyond that. Devin shows you novel ideas for getting your name in the media, without having to risk your life by doing death-defying feats.

He even shows you how to get valuable and priceless publicity by performing at the White House. Yes, the White House does on certain occasions use magicians, balloon twisters and jugglers. The complete details on how this is done, allowing you the chance to get this prestigious publicity and add your performance at the White House to your magic resume is in this ebook!

He teaches you a little-known publicity technique that is used by both Las Vegas and Broadway shows. He shows you how you can use this idea for your local fund-raising shows.

Many years ago Devin Knight hired a professional ad agency, at a cost of several hundred dollars to come up with an effective radio spot. This spot proved to be the most effective radio spot for his magic show that he ever ran. It packed the theaters. The script for this ad is included in this ebook and buyers are given permission to use this ad in their advertising and publicity campaigns. This ad alone is worth the price of the ebook if you use it!

There is something for everyone in the book. Publicity ideas that local birthday party magicians can use and ideas that touring shows can use. Included are ideas from Jason Michaels, Donn Davison, Robert Nelson and Tommy Windsor. Some ideas will sound brilliant to you, while others may sound a little corny. The bottom line is that these are PROVEN ideas that work and will get your name in the media.

Way underpriced for this amount of information!

Tarbell 53: The Thumb Tie

Performers are always looking for something unique to add variety to their shows and The Thumb Tie fits the bill perfectly. It's an unusual piece with strong magic and plenty of room for you to inject your personality and style. In this lesson, Dan teaches you multiple methods and a wide range of presentations.



First, you'll learn Ten Ichi's original (and still baffling) thumb tie with a few of Dan's surprising touches for unexpected fun.

Then, Dan shows you a number of variations for the tying procedure so you'll be able to find one that's perfect for you.

Next, Harlan teaches you how I employ a devious (and slightly dangerous) method from Tarbell himself to defeat a truly secure tying procedure.

Plus, he goes way beyond the standard routine outlined in the original lesson by including modern presentations and methods, starting with a mixture of pickpocketing and escape that's so much easier than it looks. And, don't worry everyone leaves with their own belongings, plus a little something for their trouble.

Then, Dan use common garden variety twist-ties to comically capture a couple, steal one away momentarily, and bring them back closer than ever.

And if that's not big enough, check out this intimidating guillotine escape gone wrong. Who has two thumbs and gets away unscathed? This guy.

And finally, an impromptu, emergency method requires nothing more than a couple of rubberbands to re-create the puzzling penetrations of the original.

So, when you're looking for something different to spice up your show, consider the surprisingly strong Thumb Tie in any one of its memorable variations.

Jeff Stone LIVE (Penguin LIVE)


"Jeff Stone has quietly published a series of excellent magic books that are well-worth your time and money. His latest one, 793.8, is all that again, but raised to another level. His deepest interest is to help you tap into the magic in your magic—those moments of deep, true astonishment. Between Jeff’s thoughtful essays and excellent routines, you will find yourself inspired to create more magical magic. Highly recommended." - Lawrence Hass, Associate Dean of McBride’s Magic & Mystery School

"Jeff Stone's 793.8 asks us to discover where the magic is in our methods, effects, presentations, and in our lives." - Robert E. Neale

"I'm an enormous fan of the philosophical perspectives flowing through this book [793.8], but make no mistake, these pages also document many powerful, clever, commercial magic effects. Among my favorites are 'Leaving Decks', 'Martika', and the extremely intimate 'Ode to Charlie.'"- Jay Sankey

"793.8 is one of the freshest and most powerful books about presentation for magicians that I have read in a very long time. Your thoughts on connecting with an audience are so powerful that they literally woke me up to being a better performer. Thank you so much for this fantastic work." - Richard Sanders

"Jeff Stone is always creating and sharing his creative and original ideas that make us think out our magic in new ways. Particularly powerful are his effects with natural objects in close up situations." - Paul Draper

"I've been a big Jeff Stone fan for a while now. Not only is he a good friend, he creates powerful, direct and -most of all- commercial close-up magic. I also really respect Jeff as a teacher. He really knows what he's talking about. 'GEMSTONES' is the perfect opportunity to get to know Jeff and learn how his very clever mind ticks!" - Jay Sankey

"You've opened the door to a world of presentations that are precisely the type of ego massage audiences, particularly female spectators, eat up. It is perfect for the type of party atmosphere generally worked by tarot readers, face painters, balloon modelers and magicians. Properly marketed, a clever magician could use the material in Spectral Chill - Tarot Below Zero to double his/her value to a party planner and therefore his/her price." - Wesley James

What will he teach?
S.S. Vanish  A bare handed utility vanish that allows you to vanish just about anything you can fit in your closed fist. This portion of the lecture is my opener and it covers several different applications for the vanish.

Visa 2.0 This is mentalism routine that fits into a small card wallet and has a fun presentation where the spectators help you remember what item you recently purchased.

Frixion A whole segment on Frixion pen magic. I’ll perform one effect and then discuss/perform multiple ideas/effects possible with the pen. The effect I perform is one where a drawing of a petri dish is shown. It contains “bacteria” from an old deck of cards. When the bacteria is cooked (i.e. a flame is applied to the drawing), the bacteria forms into a selected card.

Ace Re-Revisited Portable book test based on (and use with permission) Larry Becker’s dictionary book test. The presentation is centered around the power of the written word.

I Need a Hero A stand up mentalism routine involving 6 or 7 people where they take on the role of superheroes and battle it out. The winner is predicted in advance.

Triptych 3 Card revelation where the spectator “learns how to be a magician.”

Who is he?
In a nutshell, Jeff Stone is: Magician, Programmer, Rubik’s Cuber.

Opus (Mona Lisa) by Nefesch



The value of a coincidence depends on its degree of improbability!

A demonstration of intuition and impossible coincidences.

OPUS is a straight forward close up effect, where you will give to your spectator a visual proof of an impossible coincidence.

Four black backed cards are introduced, these cards are given to a spectator who is instructed to mix them freely without looking at the face of the cards; this gives him the chance to put those cards in any order out of 24 possibilities. (4!)

The spectator is now asked to decide the orientation of each card; having the chance to either turn some cards 180 degrees or not; he has now 16 more possibilities!

The spectator is now invited to freely select the position in which those cards are to be placed on the table to form a square; he is given more options and possibilities.

After all the decisions that the spectator has freely taken; and all the possibilities given; now it is time to turn the cards over.

When the black cards are turned over, the spectator realizes that out of all the possibilities that he had; he ended up with the only possibility that makes the 4 pieces shape perfectly the Mona Lisa puzzle that was printed on the face of the cards.

OPUS is also a PREDICTION effect.

A Fifth card is included for you to use it as a prediction.

You don't need to carry or hide many outs. This fifth card is YOUR ONLY OUT. And it will ALWAYS BE A PERFECT ACCURATE PREDICTION.

Hand-made Bicycle brand gimmick ready to use out of the box

Link for online instruction
N.B. Cards supplied will be red or blue backed. However if you glue a joker from any matching size poker deck to the back of your gimmick it will match your own deck.

Matrix 2.0 by Mickael Chatelain


Show your audience a playing card, explaining that it's your favorite. Pass it out for examination. They'll find that the card is perfectly ordinary, except for four holes, one in each corner. Tell your spectators not to blink even for an instant or they'll miss the miracle to follow. Hold the card between thumb and forefinger, fully visible for all to see. Without moving - yes, you read that right - without the slightest movement, one of the four hole MOVES in PLAIN SIGHT! You've got to see it to believe it. The hole seems to cross the card diagonally in a fraction of a second.

Illusion? Reality? Wave your hand behind the card to prove that the holes are NOT an illusion! They are REAL! Do it again, holding the card as before. The spectator himself can decide when the second hole will move. At his command, the second hole moves to join the others, forming a perfect alignment of four holes across one end of the card.

How is this possible? The fact that you don't move a muscle as the hole moves only amplifies the effect. At the end of the routine, the card can once again be examined.

Let's emphasize the following points: No glue! No suspicious moves as you control the moving of the holes. No illusion, the holes are REALLY there! Easy to do. You will master the secret in ten minutes and even fool yourself in front of a mirror! A creation of Mickael Chatelain!!

Drop Card by Chris Rawlins


This is Chris's latest offering to the Mentalism and Magic community.

This book is an in depth exploration of a premise that has captured Christopher's imagination for many years.

In 2010 Christopher shared his effect Drop Card; a routine in which one spectator thinks of a playing card and focuses. The other finds the spectators card with their eyes closed. This routine is still something he perform's and loves.

Now, In 2016, Christopher offers his full body of work on this effect. Tipping secrets he has never shared before. Nothing is held back.

This is a professional performance piece that will fit right into your show.

You will learn his current and complete handling of his effect 'Drop Card', using one spectator, a personal thought, a logical framing and two amazing revelations. This alone is a full and professional performance piece.

You will also learn about Chris' 'Billet Elimination Justification' - a subtle yet useful idea that Chris put's into action every time he works professionally.

Also included are many strong variations of Drop Card to suit various environments and conditions. From stage, to parlour and even casual performance settings.

Luke Jermay, Marco Fida and Marc Paul also give fantastic contributions to this volume.

Drop Card - The Complete Work is a professionally formatted, perfectly bound pocket book of 100 Pages that teaches Drop Card the way Christopher really does it at every Mentalism show he does. Includes full scripting, in depth tuition and many bonuses.

"This is not the drop card of your youth. From methods, techniques, options and presentation, there is something exciting and new for everybody. If you liked the original you will adore this. If you don't have the original...run and buy this. Like all that Chris has done, he is like a brain, coach and storyteller you forgot you had." - Marc Salem.

"When he is not busy remembering things to his audiences amazement, Chris Rawlins finds the time to share with us some of his pet effects. Between the covers of this pocket-size, carefully produced book you will be treated to an in-depth treatise on a powerful, audience-tested, professionally honed routine. Chris details the development of both method and effect, his current approach and favorite presentational ploys, and variations suited to different performing situations. Solid ideas by top names such as Jermay, Banachek, and Nyman are also put to god use. What's more, 'Drop Card' will prompt your own creative thinking. Any doubt i recommend it highly?" - Marco Fida.

"You have created a very interesting and powerful reveal. I really liked your 'Billet Elimination Justification' It's a very elegant and logical justification...i love it! Really good thinking." Marc Paul

This is the real work.

Other Brothers Bundle by Darryl Davis and Daryl Williams


Darryl Davis and Daryl Williams, aka 'The Other Brothers' are two of the most creative magicians we know. Their material is VERY practical and designed to get big reactions. We are incredible pleased to be able to offer you two of their downloads, "Road to Rome" and "Broken Window". The best part, if you buy them both together,

Road to Rome - This is a double thought-of card routine in which you divine TWO FREELY THOUGHT-OF CARDS, each one leading to the next. What makes this routine different (and ingenious, really) is the way in which you limit the spectator's range of cards. Through an unusual and engaging presentation (dealing with the city of Rome, Italy), you psychologically guide the spectators to their own successful conclusion. This makes the trick deceptive and highly original. Variations are taught, but we believe the true value is in the scripting and concept of using a theme to secretly limit the range of selections.

Broken Window - "Any Card to Any Number" is one of magic's most enduring classics. "Broken Window" is a new take inspired by that plot. In effect, the spectator names any card and chooses any number. The named card is revealed to have the chosen number written on the back. Is it the classic plot? Nope. But it could be considered an even stronger effect, since rather than revealing the named card at a position, the named number is actually WRITTEN on the card. The method takes about ten minutes to create, and then the reset is almost instant. No sleights required.

Switch by Benjamin Earl

Switch - magic
Switch contains two amazing transpositions; one with playing cards and the other with coins. There are no duplicate items, just pure sleight of hand. Both routines simply look like magic and can be performed in any environment.
Paper Switch
An impossible transposition effect between two playing cards; one card held by the performer and one held by a spectator. No double lifts, top changes, duplicates or gimmicks are used, the deck isn’t even in play! It’s just two cards, that’s it!

Metal Switch
An impossible transposition effect between two coins; one held by the performer and one held by a spectator. No duplicates, gimmicks or gadgets are used, just two coins, that’s it!

Ben has taken great care to describe every technical, psychological and presentational secret in great detail. If you study this publication thoroughly, you will have two devastatingly magical routines at your fingertips – spectator’s will be left with the unquestionable impression that either they are hallucinating… or you are Gandalf.

Patrick Kun LIVE (Penguin LIVE)


"I’ve met many top pros in the industry. Many are masters of what they do, quite a few are creative, very few are truly original. Patrick is not only all above, he’s a real friend." - Will Tsai

"Patrick Kun is a true phenom in the world of close up magic. He has the unique ability to dissect an idea to its core and build it into something incredible. I'm glad the future of magic is in his very capable hands." - Eric Jones

"Patrick is the only magician in a long, long time who has showed me a trick and I have instantly thought, "I need to sit down and learn that". With insane, clean visuals and super slick handling a being a running theme in his work, it makes it hard for me not to recommend anything he does." - Alan Rorrison

What will he teach? M&M to Money After the last piece of M&M is poured out from the candy bag, with a wave of a hand, the bag visually transforms into a brand new dollar bill.

Basic Extortion A super visual transposition of two bills, a and a that happens inside of their wallet that they are holding the entire time. A perfect routine to tie in with pickpocket presentation.

Gimmick-less Invisible Deck This is my handling on the Invisible deck using only a normal deck of playing cards. This is as close to real invisible deck that I think an impromptu version could get.

Inflict Transposition A visual transposition between a selected card and a joker. This move can be utilized as a change or part of any sandwich routine.

MORF Gambling Routine A four cards change that morphed into Aces all at once and with the back change as a twist at the end.

DIY Aces After the deck is shuffled and freely cut into 4 packs, they all turn out to be the Ace's.

My Biggest Fan A flashy four cards production that is visual and can be done with very minimal setup

Mirror Force A utility force that accomplished a force and a control at the same time. This force also allows you to hide the back in plain sight.

Reflex + Linking Ring In-depth walk through in ring magic.

VOW (Basic version) A streamlined handling on the anniversary plot. Two cards are selected and one card slowly vanished and reappeared on the other side of the other card.

InstaCard A card production from Instagram app that can be done with any named card. I will go through my personal version of the pocket index and logical reasons behind this effect.

The Rising by Nicholas Lawrence



The Rising looks impossible. It looks like something that takes years to master, but thankfully it's not. Just any ordinary deck of cards is all you need and you'll have the most visual ending to an ambitious card routine period.

The Rising is also great as a stand alone piece of visual magic. A card is placed at the bottom of a deck and slowly melts through the deck without any funny moves. Like its taking an escalator ride to the top of the deck.

Looks impossible. Completely practical. The Rising will raise the bar on your card magic.

Invisibly Triumphant by Kyle Littleton

Our own Kyle Littleton is an exceptional sleight-of-hand talent. He debuted with 400 Lux, the best Ones to Hundreds change we've ever seen, and now he's back with his signature card effect, "Invisibly Triumphant." This is a THOUGHT-OF-CARD Triumph that is entirely in the hands. At Vanishing Inc. Magic, we watch everything with an eye toward one simple thought: "If you could really do magic, what would it look like?" And for this effect, it would look JUST LIKE THIS.

 No angle issues
 Three key moves taught that can be used in many other routines
 Entirely in the hands
You hand the spectator a deck of cards and ask him to shuffle the cards face up into face down. Then you spread through, asking him to think of any card he sees. He names the card. You wave your hand. All the cards are face down except for the thought-of card.

There have been thought-of card triumphs before, but never has the handling been so soft, so clear, and so natural. Best of all, the handling is actually within the realm of even basic card handlers.

EMPIRE BY CODY NOTTINGHAM


Empire ruptures the boundaries of the torn & restored card plot.

The problem with most TnR's is the amount of 'cover' needed for your dirty work.

We've all done that Bear-claw palm after the restoration. Thinking... "PLEASE DON'T CATCH ME"

Cody Nottingham to the rescue.

Empire takes all the heat from your performance with a silky smooth restoration of an indifferent prediction.

Followed by an immediate transposition that they'll NEVER see coming.

- No hidden finger-palmed pieces.
- No magnets
- Always ready to perform

There's a million ways to show someone magic, but only one way to make them believe.

Let them feel it.

Mental Epic Envelopes by Andrea Rizzolini


"Mental Epic Envelopes" is Andrea Rizzolini’s (aka Andrew Flash) take on the classic effect known to the magic community as "Mental Epic".

Three envelopes are shown to be blank on the back side while on the front are numbered from one to three.
A spectator is asked to make three random choices (the throw of an immaginary coin, the selection of a number from 1 to 50, etc. etc.) and before each one of them the performer writes a prediction and inserts it into the corresponding envelope.
In the end each one of the predictions is 100% correct.

Things to keep in mind:
The patterns to create your own envelopes are included;
A non-force method is explained;
Everything fits in your pocket;
Can be performed both in close up and parlor situations.

“Although I usually don’t like routines that include the use of gimmicks, Andrea Rizzolini has found a solution that makes the classic effect known as "Mental Epic" natural and fluid in the management of the order.
In fact in this case the purpose of the gimmick, that you can build and customize as you like, is to improve the credibility of the effect. So… Bravo!"

- Alex Le Fanu author of “NINE”

Second Form By Nick Vlow and Sergey Koller Produced by Shin Lim


Second form is a collection of 15 modern thoughts in card magic focused on visual and practical applications. Here you will find completely new ideas and reassembled classical moves for your performances. Nick Vlow & Sergey Koller go into great detail on the moves and motivation surrounding these new applications.

Sprout - a visual pop-out from the middle of the deck. The card could be produced as appearing in front of the spread, or fly away from the deck towards spectator. As a bonus you will learn double lift variation.

Penguin Steal - useful card move for a color change or stealing of the selected card.

NZ Change - fast and direct color change based on classic palm changes. Several variations are included.

Rotation Change - unbelievable move that allows you to change a card by revolving it between your hands.

Astra Cascade - remastered version of classic F. Miller Cascade Control. The method allows you to control multiple cards or use the cascade as a color change.

Mason Addition - simple and direct switch of a single card in your hand. Perfect for transpositions and prediction tricks.

Swindle Double - a clean double lift from the top of the deck. Top cards are flying away to your other hand.

Exmor Trilogy - another great move using in the hands card spread. Exmor could be used as a switch, color change or force.

Mac Change - clean transformation of a single card with an open hand.

1337 Load - angle proof switch for a single card that also could have used as a force.

Glenn Addition - remastered work on a classic Vernon's Bottom Addition. The move is more clear for a single card, that allows you to use it as force.

Bertram Plus - new modern touch for legendary Tebe Change from R. Bertram. This method allows you to do the change twice.

Nova Sandwich Move - a visual single or multiple cards production in between the sandwich cards. The move is fast and clear, without any finger movement at all.

Citro - new variation for a Cardini Snap Change. You can palm the card or steal it from the top of the deck for a moment.

Tasso Change - variation on the R. Walton's Paint Brush Change that makes it easier to perform. Also the change could be done two times on a row.

DNB Spread Control - method of convincing card control in the spread based on the work of E. Earick. The move is used for a single card control to the bottom of the deck or bottom palm.

Shuffled by Jos Denys


"Shuffled" is a breath of fresh air in a world of impractical and overcomplicated Card at Any Number solutions. Jos Denys offers a clever routine that is believed to fool everyone. The method allows you to remain practically hands off at all times, creating a test-conditions miracle. It's easy to do, extremely powerful, and something you can learn in minutes.

In the effect, two envelopes are placed on the table. A spectator is invited to fairly shuffle and examine an ungimmicked deck. You then remove the two predictions from the envelopes. One envelope contains a playing card and the second contains a number. When the spectator counts down to this number, she finds the predicted card. There's no sleight of hand or open displacements: the card really is at the number the spectator shuffled it to.

- Use your own deck (any back design)
- Includes two versions
- Watch the full performance in the trailer; nothing is left out
- No sleight of hand
- Ingenious new method

You receive all the necessary gimmicks and a 45-minute instructional DVD featuring Jos Denys and Andi Gladwin teaching two routines using the principle (including one where the spectator's merely thought-of card is found at the predicted number).

Tarbell 52: Mental and Psychic Mysteries (Part 2)


Mentalism has the ability to directly engage every person in your audience, and in this lesson you'll learn impressive ways to make that connection.

I start off with the quintessential method to read hidden thoughts written by your audience, and I give you my tips and nuances to take it to the next level.

Then, I inject a personalized connection into a devious new method where nothing is ever written down, yet you can reveal amazing details about each participant.

Next, I show you how to inject a unique aspect of yourself into the process as I treat everyone to a Theremin solo while dialing in on their thoughts.

I also teach you my preferred presentation for the perennial favorite Tossed Out Deck that keeps the focus on the stage and guarantees a big reaction.

For a change of pace, you'll learn an intimate presentation perfect for one-on-one, close-up, or stage of a psychic regression to happy childhood memories.

Then I tackle the thorny realm of the Living and Dead Test by giving you three alternatives with much more room for entertainment. First, I explore the difference between cats and dogs. Then, I add just a touch of magic to the lost and found department to locate (and identify) a lost article belonging to my helper.

And, I teach you yet another very subtle system to easily identify (and announce) a secret bit of information. In this case, where in the world someone is hiding.

And finally, you'll learn how to use a pencil as a medium to transfer thought impulses from one place to another. It looks silly, but it really works.

Once again, every piece has been revised, updated, and modernized with strong presentations, multi-layered subtleties, and even brand new methods.

Confetti Card by Darryl Davis & DaryI Williams


This little miracle packs small and plays big—HUGE, really.

I know, I know, you’ve heard that a BILLION times before. But it this case, it’s true. All you need is cards and some paper. But if you combine them, along with the SECRET of this trick, you’ll have a giant, crowd-pleasing miracle (actually it’s TWO illusions AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT) that you can carry with you wherever you go.

The story starts here: Some of my magic friends here in Vegas and LA carry confetti with them wherever they go. They just use it for jokes…but that got us thinking…what if the confetti WAS the magic? That little thought led Daryl and Darryl to THIS BIG RELEASE:

Confetti Card:

Your friend picks a card. You give her the deck and she puts it back inside. SHE’S HOLDING THE CARDS. Then, WITH EMPTY HANDS, you reach into your pockets…and pull out a single card (they see the back and the face) and a handful of confetti. You reveal the card with a BURST OF PAPER!

Problem is: You’re wrong. That’s not her card.

BUT…just when it looks like all is lost…you cleanly fold up the wrong card, toss it in the air…and it TRANSFORMS INTO A CONFETTI VERSION OF THE CHOSEN CARD.

(Take a second and think about how magical that is…not only did the card transform into confetti…also…the wrong card transformed into the right card, which, just a moment ago, was inside the deck.)

Sometimes the card pieces land face-up and the change is IMMEDIATELY visible. OTHER times—and this just as good IF NOT BETTER—the pieces land face-down…so you can EXTEND the magic moment, even further, by asking your friend to slowly bend down and turn the pieces around.

Either way, the result is the same: Shock and awe.

Easily repeatable. No fancy props needed.

If you’re performing somewhere where you have to clean up, you can do it with bigger confetti and card pieces. Or you can use tiny pieces for those rare moments when it’s okay to leave a big mess and a big impact. The trick works perfectly either way. It’s the perfect way to leave a BIG impact….with just some cards and some paper.

-Rick Lax
