Junky by Docc Hilford

The best think of a card trick ever.
Junky is the ultimate psychic poker deal. A borrowed deck of cards is shuffled by the audience as much as they want and in any way they choose. They are then given a poker hand of five cards and asked to shuffle the cards they are given. They are then asked to JUST THINK of any of those cards. The entire process is fair every step of the way and becomes more impossible with each step. You'll have no problem making this hands-off, practically self-working trick into a mind-blowing presentation.
With Junky, Docc Hilford has taken a little known underground secret and made it so much better. No asking questions and the poker deal looks more fair than ever before. He's developed a presentation that is fun and makes sense.
What more can I say? Junky looks like real mind reading. They think of a card, and, with no questions asked and nothing written down, you tell them exactly what they are thinking. Be careful, though. This trick is extremely addictive.

Captive by Jimmy Strange and Merchant of Magic

Very Fair by The Other Brothers


This mind-reading trick is VERY good... but the method? It's INGENIOUS. A once-in-a-lifetime discovery. Learning the secret, I felt like I had just been struck by lightning.

Not only will you smile from ear-to-ear when you learn how to predict a THOUGHT-OF word, but you'll actually start performing it, and you probably won't stop. It's impromptu AND plays equally well for 2 as it does for 2,000.

It's called VERY FAIR, and it is absolutely true to its name. You write 2 words "Very" and "Fair" on 2 pieces of paper. You let someone secretly choose one. And it REALLY IS A SECRET. Nobody, NOT EVEN YOU know which word they picked... and yet somehow... you are able to tell them, with COMPLETE CONFIDENCE which word they thought of. It's just .... my favorite new trick in a LOOOONG TIME.

You'll learn multiple ways to present it, for example making the thought-of word vanish, and more. I like to keep it 100% mind-reading. To ratchet up the tension, I like to wager some money on the prediction!

This trick is worth your time, and a thing of beauty.

Origin by Matt Mello


Origin is Matt Mello's latest venture into the world of anagrams, featuring new and groundbreaking approaches to this system of mindreading.

Using the techniques and tools in this manuscript, you'll be able to confidently reveal thought-of jungle animals, star signs, "random" thoughts, as well as favorite things, like a person's favorite color or sport.

The methods contained in this PDF will allow you to learn this information without ever needing to ask about a letter. There are a few questions that must be proposed, but the answers never appear to give the performer very much information. You ask if a spectator can concentrate on certain things in their mind, and then you're able to reveal their exact thoughts.

The memory work in the anagram field can often be intimidating, but Matt has worked incredibly hard to make sure that everything about the Origin system is as simple and streamlined as possible. With the unique way that these Origin anagrams are designed and built, you simply move down a list in your mind, quickly arriving at their thought of item.

"Source Code" is the last piece in this manuscript, and it will allow you to not only reveal a person's birth month, but a random number that they think of, as well. This is one of Matt's favorite pieces. He has held on to this for quite some time!

Sadly, aside from "Source Code", which will work in ANY language, all of the other pieces in this manuscript are designed for English only.

Origin is a 37 page, PDF manuscript.

C4 by Jonathan Levit


"How good is C4? I plan on putting it into my own show, Immediately! Elegant and visual and the perfect mistress to your color changing deck routine. love it!"
Steve Valentine

"C4 is like carrying a camera trick in your pocket. It is stunning visual magic. The handling could not be more clear. C4 yourself what real magic looks like."
Mike Caveney

"This is quality magic, beautifully packaged, that will deliver dividends..."
David Regal

"I’ll admit it. When I saw it in his performance, I didn’t see it coming. I didn’t think Jonathan could really do it. I was fooled. But now I know why! C4 is a beautiful gimmick to accomplish an offhanded miracle. Exactly the way real magic should look!”
Jim Steinmeyer

"Dang! That looks great."
Richard Kaufman

Clones by Jean-Pierre Vallarino


A new, unique version of the amazing classic, Sympathetic Cards

From a borrowed deck, remove 10 cards that you'll use for your prediction, and isolate them in a glass covered by a silk. You'll keep them covered until the end of the routine.

From another deck, ask a spectator to randomly select 10 cards face up and to shuf?e them thoroughly. They are placed in another glass and covered by a silk, as was done previously with your prediction.

Now imagine...

Without any manipulation, you remove the silks and the first card of each packet perfectly match each other! The coincidence is crazy... every single card in each glass is removed one by one by the magician or the spectator. The content of the two glasses is a perfect match! Same cards, same order. No places for coincidences, it's just impossible.

The spectator can examine the cards, the decks...

CLONES -- No manipulation, everything appears normal. It's truly a miracle!

The Stealth Case By Steve Cook


"That is beyond Brilliant! What a great idea! Never seen this idea before. WOW! That's the best peek I've seen in years! I WILL USE THIS!"
- Graham Jolley

"OMG! Steve, that is so beautiful, really beautiful! Whoa! I want one! You're a f*****g genius man!"
- Luca Volpe

"WOW! That is beyond genius Steve. That's the best peek I've ever seen! WOW! Phenomenal!"
- Gary Jones

"I rarely say this, but this is going straight in to my act! The case itself is diabolical and the whole unit is very well made. It's safe to say this device should last forever so this is a wonderful investment for anyone who wishes to fry their audience with a display of super strong mind reading. The fact it also comes with some powerful routines that also make perfect sense is simply wonderful!"
- Steve Dela

Steve Cook's The Stealth Case is the perfect peek device for the modern mind reader.

Totally innocent in appearance, flawless in execution.

The Stealth Case has been in the works for well over 12 months and the finished unit is simply stunning.

The Stealth Case Will Soon Become Your Favorite Mind Reading Weapon

This slick black, everyday-looking card case holds an incredibly simple yet devastating secret that will allow you to acquire secret information with ease. In fact, The Stealth Case is so clever, it does all the work for you!

Imagine this... Your spectator draws or writes anything on a business card. The card is placed within a stack of un-gimmicked business cards (this is a true stack of separate business cards, not a block with a hole in etc.)

Now, with no funny moves, the whole stack is placed in The Stealth Case. Your spectator sees you reach in and remove the top card from the stack. The Stealth Case is closed and given to your spectator to hold while you begin read their mind with 100% accuracy!

You will not believe how cool The Stealth Case is. The Stealth Case is perfect for almost any performing situation, and the whole process makes perfect sense!

Bernard Bilis LIVE (Penguin LIVE)


You may have not heard of Bernard Bilis in recent years as he has been busy as a celebrity magician in France wowing people with his incredible, funny, and stunning card and close up magic.

If you want to be fooled, watch the magic Bernard taught years ago on the Stars of Magic DVD highlighting some of his early creations. His "Bilis Switch" may well be one of the most deceptive card switches in magic with so many uses.

Bernard studied under George Proust and subsequently became friends with (and a student of) such luminaries as Juan Tamariz, Fred Kaps, Dai Vernon, Ascanio, Larry Jennings, Derek Dingle and more. Bernard worked as a consultant for Siegfried and Roy. Here is your opportunity to see what these magic legends saw in Bernard Bilis. Here is your chance to see the magic Bernard has used to become part of the magic underground.

Bernard has published two books "Close-Up French Style" and " French Pasteboards" years ago but has largely kept his incredible magic a secret. Bernard has instead been busy with many TV appearances. In France, Bernard is a household name. He is also busy performing professionally for top celebrities and companies in France and throughout Europe.

Bernard has just filmed a DVD set with Luis De Matos on his incredible magic to be released soon. In 2019 Bernard will be releasing a large new booked filled with his magic. However, in this highly anticipated Penguin LIVE lecture you will learn all new, different magic not taught elsewhere. This is magic not in print, not on DVD or as a download.

PINcredible by Mr.Pearl


PINcredible, Mr. Pearl's newest trick, has been released!

The pins will link or unlink right in front of their eyes, making it even more amazing!

The pins are 100% examinable and it can be given as a souvenir.

The pins included are plated with silver in the best quality. Therefore, they can be used as an everyday accessory that you can use for magic anywhere, anytime.

But of course, any type of pin can be used for this routine.

Make magic happen with PINcredible!

Moneymorphosis by Dallas Fueston and Jason Bird


This is, quite simply, one of the most impactful, poetic effects Vanishing Inc. has ever produced. A borrowed bill self-animates and crawls up your arm like a caterpillar. Then, it transforms into an origami butterfly! The folded butterfly can be immediately handed back to the spectator as a souvenir of an unforgettable magical experience.

Fraser Parker - Mentalism Fundamentals


Kings Performance: Here is the performance for one of the routines taught in this video project.
* miss is intentional


For the first time, Fraser shares, his unique side ways thinking of many of the classic principles of Mentalism.

In this video Fraser discusses his unique sideways approach to many of the classic techniques of Mentalism, covering his use of the centre tear within a close up environment under the guise of a challenge situation – explaining his Now Show principle, where thoughts are seemingly pulled out of a participant's mind, without any visible compromise or drawn out process.

His answer to Pocket Writing he refers to as No Pocket Writing, Pocket Writing – where he teaches how to seemingly predict in advance, thoughts and details about his spectators, seemingly long in advance of meeting them – everything is hidden in plain sight and performed out in the open, with no actual pocket writing needing to take place.

TORNADO BOX by Mickael Chatelain


Here's something that will enable you to perform extremely visual changes that will amaze your audience. 

Ten and more! That's the number of ultra-visual effects that come with this gimmick. Ten effects you'll be able to do immediately with no manipulation! 

Use your own deck and its case. TORNADO-BOX is invisible to your spectators! 

In just a few minutes you'll be coming up with your own effects - such is the strength and versatility of TORNADO-BOX! Draw right in front of your audience, shake, and the trick is DONE! Simple as that! Afterwards, don't forget to erase - as before, right in front of the audience. 

Drawings that change, appearances, vanishes, materializations, and many other effects are now possible with no manipulation. 

Here are just a few of the effects you can do with TORNADO-BOX:

BRAILLE 

A card is chosen and lost in the deck. 
You or your spectator make lots of dots on the card case. 
Ask your spectators if they know how to read Braille. No? 
Shake the box in front of them and the dots regroup to spell out the name of the chosen card! 

MATERIALIZATION 
In front of your audience, you draw a 2€ coin on the card case. 
A drawing? Shake the case and the drawing changes to a real 2€ coin. 
Believe me, this effect is WAY out there! 

CHANGE 
A card is chosen. You write the name of the card in big letters on the case. Moment of truth - you show your prediction as the spectator reveals his selection. Oh no! You are WRONG! 
You place the case face down on the table and concentrate. 
You turn over the case... 
As impossible as it seems, your prediction has changed. It is now 100% correct! 
No suspicious moves; the prediction changes by itself. 

CASCADE 
This is no doubt my favorite TORNADO-BOX routine. 
A card is chosen. You then write the name of four or five different cards on the back of the case and show them to everyone. 
If the spectator sees his card, he is to say so without telling you which one. If not, you erase and try again. 
When the spectator affirms that he sees his card, you concentrate on the names you have written and announce the correct chosen card. 
You then hold the case vertically and tap it on the back of your hand. 
This is really crazy - all the letters, all the names of the cards seem to fall and reassemble in a heap at the bottom of the case; only the name of the chosen card remains in place! This effect is really incredible! 

Let's take a closer look at the gimmick you will receive:
TORNADO-BOX
 can be adapted in seconds to work with any card case. 
TORNADO-BOX is built to last even with frequent, professional usage. 
For each effect, you can draw on the entire surface of your case. No size restrictions! 
Before and after each effect, the surface of your case is completely clean! There's nothing to see, even up close! 
Draw and shake! That's it. The change is DONE! Nothing could be easier! 
Now imagine all the possible effects you could do with TORNADO-BOX
You'll get no fewer than ten effects, ten very visual original ideas that you can do with your TORNADO-BOX gimmick. You'll no doubt discover MANY others on your own! 

TORNADO-BOX is a creation of Mickael Chatelain.

Over three phases, each one more impossible, you will prove that your mental dexterity is out of this world.

From a GENUINELY shuffled deck, you can separate colours and suits from memory. Not only that, you can even tell your spectators a card that they've hidden from you - by memorizing the other 51 cards!!!!

With several methods employed to throw off even the cleverest audience members, people will have no choice other than to believe that what you are doing is GENUINE MEMORY.

The best part is, no advanced memory skills are required.

* It looks perfect.

* Easy to do (really!)
* You hand it out IMMEDIATELY.
* Works with ANYTHING made of paper.

Deposit is a masterpiece that you'll be performing for the rest of your life. It's that good.

Screwed Card by Adrian Vega


Screwed Card by Adrian Vega takes the torn and restored plot to the next level.

Here's what happens:

Two cards are chosen and shown on both sides. You have the cards signed, and then completely rip them in half. Then, impossibly, you take the two signed halves and visually fuse them together... BACKWARDS.

Adrian Vega has created a close up effect that is practical for walk around but powerful enough to be used in a competition or even on TV. It really is that strong.

* Creates an impossible souvenir
* Custom gimmick printed by USPCC
* Expert teaching from the inventor, Adrian Vega

Kit comes with supplies for 27 performances. Refills available at a reduced price after purchase.

Predixion by Max Maven


So strong, so deceptive, and SO going into my repertoire.

Predixion is so powerful because it is so simple.

Here's what happens:

Two decks of cards are used. One is given to the spectator and one is on display the entire time.

The spectator deals a pile, stopping at any time. He then separates that pile into two piles. Then, a card is selected from those two piles. This all happens in the fairest way AND it happens completely hands off. After the spectator verbally chooses the card, it is shown to be predicted inside the deck that was on the table the entire time.

No difficult moves

No gimmicked deck

Spectator makes all the decisions

The effect is hands-off during the entire time.

The Vault - Think and Sync by John Carey

V2 By Manos Kartsakis


"The structure Manos has created for Vox 2.0 makes the logic puzzle element that is so often obvious and transparent, almost invisible!" - Ken Dyne

"Manos Kartsakis has come up with the most elegant, direct and easy to follow propless which hand effect I have seen, for me my audience's ability to follow along easily is really important, Velvet achieves this unlike any other. I have already started using this and will continue to do so."- Marc Spelmann

"I think Manos is a guy that is going to have a big name in Mentalism soon. This work is a very clever twist on the "which hand" principle that uses no gaffs or electronic, this is how mentalism should be!" - Luca Volpe

Book Format: Physical/Digital
Page Count: 80
MindFX is very proud to introduce you to the newly updated and expanded work of Manos Kartsakis.

Manos Kartsakis is one of Europe's finest underground creators who, up until now, has only shared his work with a very select few. In this, his very first commercial release for the mentalism community Manos will be sharing some of his most closely guarded routines based upon the 'Which Hand' plot.

Fans of Mark Elsdon's 'Tequila Hustler' are sure to marvel over the new approaches that Manos offers, each of these utilising different methodology (with zero gimmicks required) to create the following effects -

Veritas (Only ONE question asked) -

The performer hands the spectator a small object. Whilst placing their hands behind their back, the spectator is instructed to hide the object in either hand. Despite being able to lie or tell the truth to any question, the mentalist is able to discern the location of the object with 100% accuracy.

Vox (A ZERO question approach) -

The performer hands the spectator a small object. Whilst placing their hands behind their back, the spectator is instructed to hide the object in either hand. This time no questions are asked at all. The spectator is instructed to say nothing out loud. This is a game that is played only in the spectator’s mind. With zero questions asked, the mentalist is able to discern the location of the object with 100% accuracy.

*NEW* Vox 2.0 (A ZERO question approach) -

The performer, asks a spectator to hide something in one of their hands. After the spectator has done that, the performer asks him to either concentrate on the hand that has the object or the empty hand. No matter which hand the spectator is concentrating on, the performer is able to tell him exactly where the object is hidden.

Verbalist (A super clean TWO spectator version) -

The performer instructs two spectators that one of them is to hide a small object in one of their hands while his back is turned. The spectators are also instructed to decide which one of them is going to play the role of the truth teller and which one is going to play the role of the liar.

All this happens secretly and the performer has no knowledge of any of this when he turns around to face the spectators. With three innocent questions, the performer is able to determine the exact location of the object, as well as determining which roles (liar/truth teller) each of the spectators are playing.

*NEW* Verbalist 2.0 (A super clean TWO spectator version) -

This is a variation of the above effect, however, this time only two innocent questions are required to determine both the location of the object and the roles of each spectator.

Vice Versa (A multi-phased routine which is ideal for stage and cabaret) -

A bonus stage routine which uses the entire audience and culminates with several powerful reveals!

*NEW* Velvet (An incredible demonstration of influence) -

The performer removes from his pocket, an envelope which he sets on the table in full view. He proceeds by showing a chess pawn to the spectator, explaining that in his opinion, this object encapsulates perfectly, the idea of suggestion and influence.

He then gives the pawn to the spectator and asks him to make a series of choices (place it in either hand behind his back and then switch it between his hands or not). When the spectator is done and the pawn is secretly hidden in one of his hands, the performer opens the envelope and removes a prediction which describes exactly what choices the spectator has made and the exact location of the pawn.

PLUS...

*NEW* Memento (A bonus routine available direct from the author) -

Within this book/ebook, you will discover the direct contact details for Manos Kartsakis. Those who purchase this product can email him directly to receive an eleven-page bonus which details the inside work on the following routine -

The performer tells the spectators that he is going to test how good their intuition is. He then asks a few spectators to give him some male names (8-10 names) which he writes on some blank index cards and places them face down on the table.

After that, one spectator is asked to secretly concentrate on one of the names (without revealing which) and another is asked to intuit which card has that name written on it.

The performer introduces a pocket watch which belonged to his grandfather and gives it to the second spectator to use as a pendulum in order to get rid of all the cards until he is left with only one. When only one card is left on the table the performer asks the spectator who is concentrating on a name to say for the first time out loud what name he is thinking.

The card is turned over to reveal that it is actually the correct name. The performer allows some time for this moment to sink in and then as a kicker he mentions that this was actually his grandfather’s name and opens the pocket watch to reveal the same name engraved in the watch!

Muldoon Match by Paul Gordon


"The Muldoon match is a beautifully constructed triple matching routine that people will remember! It looks so fair as your spectators make all the choices and are actively involved in the presentation. Paul left no stone unturned in the teaching of this effect. I give it my highest recommendation!" -John Carey

"The Muldoon Match is a super slick triple prediction and typically Paul Gordon; direct, commercial, fooling and to top it off, it's super easy to do! I love it!" -Peter Nardi

"Muldoon Match is a quality routine with a lot of versatility. You can do this with any deck and you are only limited by your imagination. They'll be talking about it long after you've performed. A brilliant concept has been brought back to life with new thoughts and a clever approach." -Lance Miller

"The Muldoon Match is one of his great routines for the real world. The instruction is top-notch. Clearly explained and performed. While it is an easy trick to do, technically, Paul also teaches some great nuances and additional thoughts about your performances. The routine can be done for one person or a group of three. It is a great “interlude pieces” and will probably end up in my working repertoire. It is stunningly simple, yet a strong piece of Magic." -Paul Green

"I love effects that divert the attention away from the magician for a moment and make the spectator the star! Mix that in with a killer clean method and Paul's awesome tuition and you have a stunning effect you will definitely be performing for everyone!" -Jamie Daws

"Simple yet powerful, love this sort of stuff" -Rus Andrews

"A thorough tutorial of one of Paul's overlooked gems and to see the genuine lay reactions confirms what a good routine this really is. To top it off it's super easy to do, recommended!" -Paul Hallas

"Muldoon match is exactly what you expect from Paul Gordon. Straight forward, practical, hard hitting and very well taught. This is something that you will use. I've been using this for more years than I want to admit to!!" -Mark Chandaue

A stunning prediction of three freely thought of cards.

Muldoon Match is one of Paul Gordon's most powerful effects; and to top it off, the simple gimmick makes it completely self working!

Do it with photos, with business cards, ESP cards, tarot or any deck of playing cards!

Paul teaches this killer effect in great detail to ensure that you know everything that you need to know to blow people's minds with this unmissable mind reading miracle.
