Holed Up by Chris Mayhew

Visual,deceptive AND entertaining the HOLE way through.

This trick starts off in a really memorable way. 2 jokers with holes are shown and placed to the side. A card is selected, placed in the deck and visually appears in between the 2 jokers without ever coming near the deck.

Not only is the method practical, deceptive and easy but the visual appearance of their selected card is so much fun to do.

Chris teaches multiple effects using this principle and they are all extremely visual. The gimmick is SO easy to make and you will be able make enough gimmicks for tons of performance in no time.

Tarbell 67: Modern Rope Magic

Tony Lopilato's Rope-Saver: A cord, wrapped around a package, is cut off and the knot, joining the two pieces, vanishes so the rope may be used again.

The Tony Lopilato Knot: An easy-to-remember, but complicated-looking, knot that's even easier to get rid of.

The Double Knotter: A strange way to tie two knots at the same time.

Tony Lopilato's Ring on the Rope: A ring is borrowed, vanishes, and reappears on a rope that is tied around your spectator.

Tony Lopilato's "Book Mark": A short piece of rope is used as a bookmark. Then stretches into a much longer piece.

Tarbell's Rings and Growing Rope: An object, trapped on a short rope, is mysteriously freed while the ends remain in view. Then the rope grows.

Judge Lynch's Necktie Party: A rope tied around your neck and threaded through your jacket seems to melt right through everything, but takes your tie off as it does.

Jose Prager - Duplica

Duplica by José Prager is a perfectly pure method for reading minds.



Using just an index card, an envelope, a pen and the knowledge in this manuscript, you will be set to create a devilishly deceptive moment of mystery at any time.



José has refined this method through many years of performance and in stripping away all the unneccessary movements and illogical elements of some popular techniques, Duplica was born.



- No impression devices

- No Flaps

- Two second preparation

- Perform surrounded

 

In our art, the Devil is in the details. In Duplica, no detail is skipped in creating the most impossible, yet workable method for mind reading to date.



This is essential reading for all mind readers and mystery performers alike.

Block by Dee Christopher

"Oh boy, what a clever man Dee is. Simple gimmick to make, solid full p##k, and great ideas from the mind of a clever gentleman. An excellent tool to achieve mind reading." Pablo Amira

"Block is one of the best peek devices I've EVER used!" Lewis Lé Val

"Get it. Trust me." Tom Mullenger

"It's rare that I'm fooled, but this TOTALLY fooled me. I'm going to make one now!" Peter Antoniou

"The Block Peek was a surprise and revelation. It also offers considerable advantages over some other peeks - you get a full card peek and the peek needn't be rushed. A strong 9/10." NeilS (MagicCafe)

"This is one of those 'slap your face I should have thought of this' moments... Its a peek I LOVE to use and I'm glad he's finally getting this out there on a bigger scale!" Alan Rorrison

Dee Christopher finally divulges the FULL work on his BLOCK concept. You could walk into a room with just this gimmick and blow the minds of the entire room, one by one.

- The reset is instant.

- The construction will take you 30 seconds.

- The handling is logical, fun and easy to do.



The Block Concept was a stand out piece from "Deeper Still" and gained a lot of attention when it was briefly covered in Dee's Penguin Live Lecture.

Never before has this much detail gone into the construction of the devious gimmick and the un-gimmicked versions (which you will LOVE!) have never been published before.

This is not a short, 5 minute download. Dee takes over 40 minutes to discuss the intricacies of this amazing method, as well as interweaving tid-bits of theory and advice to apply to your own performances.

The Grey Area by Matt Mello

"The Grey Area" opens with three, in-depth essays on the topics of creating and presenting mentalism that feels and looks like the real thing. It also teaches a total of eight routines that showcase and practice the ideals set forth in those opening chapters.

Nearly every routine is impromptu and prop-less, ready to go at any time!

Contents:

"There Are No New Effects!" - This essay approaches the "no new effects" mindset, and offers Matt's personal tips and tricks to motivate any performer to create and develop brand new routines.

"Providing Purpose" - As it sounds, this essay covers the topic of creating mentalism and magic effects that have a real purpose. It expounds upon the thoughts of a true thought reader, and how they might truly use their abilities in the real world.

"The Art of Creating" - This final essay teaches the approaches and processes that Matt goes through in order to create his effects. This chapter is overflowing with tips and ideas to boost and enhance your creative process.

The Lies We Tell - An impromptu, bold approach to the liar and truth teller plot, without the use of logic puzzles, NLP eye accessing cues, guessing, dual reality, or any other classic method. The performer asks simple questions, and the group answers them. The participants can even choose to answer only in their mind, and you will always know who the liar is.

Witchhand - This effect takes the concept from "The Lies We Tell" and applies it to a type of "which hand" effect. A person hides an object in their fist, while the rest of the group makes empty fists. You are then able to instantly identify who is holding the object, with no questions asked! The concept can also be used to present a more classic "which hand" effect.

Metal Detector - The performer places a coin, a key, and a ring on the table. Three spectators each hide one object in their fist. The performer then becomes a human metal detector, and is able to correctly identify who is holding which metal object. No magnets or gimmicks are used.

Motor Skills - We remove a participant's ability to write or draw, and we're then able to guess their word or drawing based on the scribbles that they've made.

Nameless - The mind reader uses his abilities to get himself out of an awkward situation, and is able to guess a random participant's name.

Profit 2.0 - This is an impromptu method to perform a version of my original "Profit" effect. The performer has a spectator count a stack of dollar bills, and is then able to swindle them out of a LOT more cash!

Targeting: An Approach to Psychological Forces - As described in the title, this is a reliable approach to using psychological forces in a close-up or stage environment.

Force Field - From the comfort of the stage, the performer is able to read the minds of audience members standing from their seats. It almost looks like the "Oracle Act", except we're reading direct thoughts that have never been written down or spoken aloud. We then take the effect further with TWO kicker endings. This is a showstopper, and as such, is best used as a closer to a stage show.

Propless Mentalism by Peter Turner Vol 12

This is the 12th Volume of Peter Turner's Mentalism Masterclass.
The master of Propless Mentalism Peter Turner now offers a full series in this topic.

The definition of which is at best arguable (This is discussed in lengths inside this volume). The definition which I have stuck closely to is - the participant never writes anything down and the only time the mentalist writes anything is to reveal information.

I have tried to make the material as sure fire as possible (not chancy or bold) whilst keeping the process as small as possible - No long winded drawn out presentations. If the presentation isn't as quick (if not faster) than utilizing traditional methodology it isn't in here! I have tipped some of my more private mentalism routines that can be done over the phone and via Skype. Anyone that has read the past volumes knows that I put a lot into these volumes to ensure that they are as in-depth as possible.

I even tipped my close up Q+a! Even if Prop-less mentalism isn't your thing I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with this and it might change your opinions.

With contributions from Fraser Parker, Pablo Amira, Thaddius Barker and more!

NUMERUS by Raphael Macho

On this video, you will learn a method to show an incredibly direct variation of a "Card-at-Any-Number" effect. The goal was to achieve the cleanest handling possible in the CAAN plot. No unnecessary movements, clean, direct and strong. But not just that! Two other strong variations of Numerus are taught on the video, with additional ideas for presentation.

The Numerus Routine

You place a card with a different back pattern on the table, as your prediction (it even can be held by the spectator). Now the magician takes the shuffled deck, and the spectator freely calls out a number between 1 and 52 (no force). The cards are turned over face-up from the top, and are individually dealt onto the table. The number is counted until he reaches the spectator's number. The card that falls on the selected number remains hidden for a short moment. It is then revealed, together with your prediction card -- they match perfectly! 100% success guaranteed, with any number called out.

Key Points

- Shuffled deck
- Can be performed with any deck of cards
- 2-second setup
- Ideal for table hopping
- Any number can be named, no force
- Concept can also be used as a force
- Can be performed surrounded

Joshua Jay LIVE 2 (Penguin LIVE)

"One of the most talented, intelligent and influential magicians." Roberto Giobbi

"Joshua's magic is thoughtful, practical and powerful." Jeff McBride

"An amazing and influential magician." Shin Lim

Who is he?
Thirty-one-year-old Joshua Jay has been called magic's Renaissance man by MAGIC Magazine. It's not hard to see why: he is a performer, lecturer, author, and photographer of all things mysterious. He maintains a globetrotting performance schedule--Jay has performed in over fifty countries and appears regularly on national television (most recently on Good Morning America and the Today Show).

His performance style is completely unique: he performs with ordinary, borrowed objects, causing them to twist, bend, appear, and vanish at will. At only seventeen years old Joshua Jay was crowned world champion for close-up magic at the World Magic Seminar, and he is now regarded as one of the leading creative forces in the magic world.

Starcle by Dan Harlan

 
"Yesterday I got married, and in the middle of my vows I performed your amazing effect… Starcle. My bride’s favorite symbol is the star and the circle has special meaning to me. I want to thank you for creating this effect and for making this special moment in my life even more powerful." -Max Kovins

"Starcle is Dan Harlan’s most baffling and beautiful gift to magicians and to magic." -Bill Abbott

"Pure simplicity, pure theatre, pure genius!" -Scott Alexander

"I have been doing this now for many years, it’s probably the strongest trick you can do with just a paper napkin! Impromptu magic doesn’t get any better than this!" -Gary Jones

"I learned Starcle at my very first magic convention. It’s still an amazing way to create magic at a moment’s notice!" -Marcus Eddie

"It’s my go-to impromptu restaurant/home comedy mindreading trick (especially for young kids). I’m still amazed every time I do it. Thanks, Dan." -Geoff Williams

"At a time when magicians are looking for the next do-it-all-for-you prop, Dan Harlan re-introduces Starcle, an incredible piece of impromptu magical theatre using nothing more than a humble paper napkin and basic skills." -Jon Allen

"Starcle is a pack-small, play anywhere masterpiece. I close my show with it." -Bill Cook

"Starcle... a fabulous and magical story-telling routine using just a paper napkin." -Arthur Stead

"Dan Harlan’s Starcle is a work of genius and a modern impromptu classic. It can be done up close and on stage and leaves the audience with a memory and a souvenir. The possible presentations are limited only by your imagination." -Richard Hatch

At The Table Live Lecture Sal Piacente

Sal "The Hitman" Piacente, is more than just a magician, he's a real miracle worker. A leading authority in the world of card cheating, Sal's been on notable TV shows, including Travel Channel's Game On, America and National Geographic's Casino Wars. Off-air, Sal channels his twenty-six years of experience into lecturing, as well as teaching the Casino industry how to expose card cheats. And now he's joining us At The Table to reveal how to use those same card techniques to create real moments of impossibilities for your audiences. Here are a few things you'll learn:

The Poker Routine: Sal's version of the Vernon Poker deal with an impossible ending. Sal deals five poker hands, with each hand getting stronger than the last. When he flips his hand over, there is only one card in the deck that will allow him to win. Sal hands the deck to the spectator, who deals down to any random card, flips it over and it is exactly the one card in the deck Sal needs to win.

Sal's Ace Openers: Sal discusses how to quickly open a set by finding 4 aces. Sal covers a number of methods, and one whereby the spectator freely shuffles the deck.

A Hold'em Stack: Sal shuffles the deck and deals out a poker hand. Sal deals a pair of aces to his partner at the imaginary poker table, and then lays down a pair of aces on the flop for a big win.

Heel Peek: A simple yet deceptively invisible peek.

Four Ace Routine: Sal magically finds each ace and throws them into the middle of the deck one by one. All the while, all four aces are controlled to be able to go into any other Ace routine.

Sal's Estimation Aces: Sal displays and teaches an ungodly technique of cutting to Aces.

Memory Opener: Sal takes out a packet of cards and looks at them for only a second. The spectator removes a card, and Sal is able to determine which card is missing. He repeats the effect two more times, this time with larger packets and a greater number of cards being removed. It's as magical as it is impossible.

Binary Blockbuster: Two spectators think of opposite color cards. Sal spreads the cards, turns away, and the spectators secretly switch the two cards they thought of. Sal then randomly deals down the cards face down into two piles, and when he flips them over, he's miraculously separated the red and the black cards - the only exception is the spectators' chosen cards. It's a unique oil and water meets triumph effect.

4 Pocket Clocking: Sal deals out three packets of cards of varying sizes, and places the rest of the deck on the table. He briefly looks at the cards, and has the spectator remove a card from each pile. Sal looks at the cards again and is able to determine which card is missing.

Three Card Monte: Sal shows how to do the classic Three Card Monte and how there is no hope of winning.

Altered Traits: A four-card packet trick with blue-backed cards. One by one, each face down card turns over magically, until they all turn face up. When you flip all of them them over, the blue-back cards are now red.

Jhana by Watkins

Jhana is the first limited edition book from the creative mind of Watkins.

He has agreed to finally release some of the work he has kept mainly to himself and only shared with a few of his close friends, up until now.

After slowly building his reputation as one of the stand out under-ground creators amongst his peers we have decided it is time to finally let others know about him and for his ingenious ideas to be shared with the community, as a whole.

Jhana is a beautifully produced hard bound book containing a collection of real secrets that utilize traditional method combined with subtleties of language and the use of words to shift perception.

With the knowledge held within it's pages you will be able to do the following:

Divine Moment of Truth — The performer tells a story of a life changing experience he once had that explained all the mysteries of the universe. He writes down the secret to life on a piece of paper and shows it to one participant. The participant reads what is written and has a genuine emotional reaction (this is the effect which caused a spectator to cry in the video that was shared for a brief time on line).

Severance — A method for 'instant pre-show' and for making billets invisible. A way to apparently reveal names, dates, pin codes without these ever seemingly written down.

Introjection — A participant is put into a 'trance'. The performer is then seen to reveal details about the participants life that he could not possibly know. Including things that were never written down.

When the Sky Was Opened — The performer is seen to literally 'steal' the name of a best friend from the mind of the participant. The participant is then seen to be incapable of speaking the name. The performer then 'puts their thought back into their head' whilst at the same time revealing the name.

The Flutter of Black Wings — A way to divine the pin number of the participant or have them divine yours. Includes additional subtleties and ideas from Peter Turner and Fraser. (Sold previously in a separate manuscript)

Whiplash by Josh Janousky

Whiplash is a hyper-visual utility gimmick that will let you vanish, transpose, and transform cards. Learn Josh Janousky's signature routine with the Whiplash gimmick: Whipped Across, his take on the cards across plot. Cards visibly vanish and reappear one by one at the fingertips, the final occurring in a spectator's hands.

Also, learn an updated variation of Oil and Water, a multi-phase sandwich routine, and a Monte game with a killer kicker ending. You will receive a custom gimmick printed by the United States Playing Card Company, ready to go immediately. In addition to the four routines, Josh shares how to repair and customize your gimmick - a new feature for gimmicks of this nature. It's an entire lesson on splitting cards, and is worth the price of the download alone.

Whiplash is angle proof and can be discretely hidden in any deck. The possibilities with Whiplash are truly limitless. See for yourself.

"This is one versatile weapon to have in your arsenal!"
- Jon Armstrong

"Warning: this is good enough to cause severe head injuries. I'm still recovering!"
- Jeff Prace

"This utility [gimmick] has so many new and interesting applications, I cannot wait to explore them all! Awesome job, Josh!"
- Chris Wiehl

"Josh has this amazing ability to take an idea, and 'interstellarize' it. He takes an idea like Whiplash, and moves it into the 5th dimension. I LOVE his vision when it comes to magic and cannot wait to see what he releases in the future... which is the present... but will soon become the past. Ok... my head hurts now! And so will yours after you see this amazing trick!"
- Mike Eaton

"Once you have Whiplash in your tool kit, you will find yourself developing scores of ideas on how to make your routines easier AND more impressive. That's a great combination."
- Anton James

The Hideout Wallet By Outlaw Effects

Alakazam Magic Are Proud To Present The Hideout V2 By Outlaw Effects.

We’re back with a second helping of Outlaw Effects goodness.  Once again the master of wallets Tony Curtis took on the task of recreation one of the mentalism communities favourite wallets.  Made to Tony’s super high standards the Hideout V2 is an amazing piece of awesomeness that you will carry with you every day!

Disguised as an everyday bill-fold wallet the Hideout V2 is a powerhouse full of hidden pockets and even has a very sneaky peek built in.

Here is what the pros are saying

The Hideout is one of the most versatile mentalist wallets I've seen. The creative possibilities for effective 'impromptu' work are endless. High quality work and well thought out "Bob Cassidy”



I have spent a long time savouring the H.O.W. and in my honest opinion I have found it to be THE BEST instant peeking wallet that I have ever used.

The peek is instant and congruent; there is no need to re-open the wallet for 'some reason'. The billet indexing space is more than generous and allows the performer to have a vast amount of 'outs' or better still more than one effect using a billet index.

Best of all this wallet holds money well and in a normal manner, which cannot be said for some wallets on the market.

This is the best mentalism wallet on the market at the moment, and at an amazingly agreeable price. I always have mine - where is yours?" "Paul Brook”

Kiko Pastur LIVE (Penguin LIVE)

“Kiko is for me the essence of poetic sensitivity in magic. And the originality in their tricks, acts and magical-poetic-musical shows” Juan Tamariz

“When wit, talent, creativity, sensitivity and experience is mixed, we can not expect any other result than that offered by this little genius Kiko. We’re in luck!” Dani DaOrtiz

"If the challenge is the driving force of art, Kiko defies cardmagic. It is very difficult to see, such as pure and organic, a magic that only the timeless quality and risk can achieve." Miguel Angel Gea

Fake Pocket by Gregory Wilson

Greg Wilson is the master of pick pocketing. Under the close watchful eyes of an audience he can steal watches, wallets, pretty much anything you can think of.

Fake Pocket makes it possible for anyone to have the ability to have a professional level pick-pocket routine. This is the perfect method for anyone regardless of skill or confidence to begin entertaining with a pick-pocket routine.

A spectator is asked to take out their wallet and have them place it into their front pocket. You tell the spectator that you are able to remove their wallet without them knowing. The spectator checks and the wallet is still there but the magician is able to produce the volunteers credit card, drivers licence or any other valuable belongings found in a borrowed wallet.

The best thing is that Fake Pocket is so easy. No need to have tons of courage to perform this effect. If the spectator has a wallet you can do this routine. With the Fake Pocket method you cannot fail because even if you do get caught it is still just as entertaining.

Fake Pocket will turn you into a real pick pocket legend.

OX Bender by Menny Lindenfeld

"Finally, you can do a coin bend with only one hand - without being an actual superhero." 
- GREGORY WILSON 

"Watching Menny Lindenfeld bend metal is like watching real magic. Ox Bender is serious artillery for the serious mentalist -- it's deceptive, practical, and powerful." 
- DOUG McKENZIE 

"If I told you [that you] could bend signed coins using just one hand, you wouldn't believe it. But it's true. When you try it the first time, you won't believe you're actually doing it. Menny Lindenfeld is an ingenious inventor and one of the top thinkers in the field of metal bending. His Ox Bender is a clever James Bond-like device you will love using. It's amazing and something I will use. Recommended." 
- TIM TRONO 

"I can't see how someone can top this. If there was a contest in magic inventions, this one would get the prize!!!" 
- TITANAS 

"The Ox Bender is my favorite coin bender. I love that I can bend a quarter with one hand." 
- RAN PINK

"Menny is a great creator, with incredible attention to detail." 
- DAVID BLAINE 

"I was amazed by Menny Lindenfeld's coin bending demonstration. I was shocked how he bent my own signed coin. I don't know how he does it. It's impressive." 
- URI GELLER 

Bend borrowed, signed coins like never before with the WORLDS FIRST SINGLE-HANDED COIN BENDER!

Praise for the Conversation As Mentalism series:

“It is my firm belief that the title of these books should be changed to The Essential Handbooks of Impromptu Mentalism. The routines taught are all very simple, direct and deeply fooling. This material should be in the arsenal of every modern mentalist! I give it my highest recommendation.”

 - Michael Murray

“These are Mark's other great releases up there with the Meridian Technique. As well as the clever effects, and probably more importantly, you're going to learn an attitude which can be used to approach performing in all real world situations."

 - Colin McLeod

Mental Buddha by Jean Pierre Vallarino

You are sitting down after dinner, just before coffee, and you pull out some empty cups (6, 7, 12 or more if you wish) -- and then you present a small Buddha statue. You turn your back so you cannot see what is happening. You ask a spectator to hide the Buddha underneath a face-down cup, and to mix up all the other face-down cups on the table. Without asking any questions, you immediately find the hidden Buddha!

Sketch by Joao Miranda and Julio Montoro

From the creative minds of João Miranda and Julio Montoro -- an extremely visual and surprising card revelation like no other.

In this illusion, the magician shows a pad, and sketches a card - his prediction of the one the spectator will choose. The spectator then selects a card, and the magician shows what he has drawn -- the audience laughs because the magician only drew the BACK of a card!

Suddenly the drawing VISIBLY jumps out of the pad, transforming into a real card, exactly matching the spectator's selection!

SKETCH is extremely easy to perform, and is always guaranteed to get an amazing reaction from the audience.

Grips, Lines and Looks by Marc Oberon

Grips, Lines and Looks is the definitive work from FISM award winner Marc Oberon, finally revealing his complete system for choreographing and structuring performances. Watch them be elevated from simple tricks to powerful moments of real magic.

If you have ever wondered how to increase the impact of your existing repertoire of material, this beautifully presented 128-page hardback book and DVD contains the answer. This is the system that Marc has used to create professional routines that have won him awards at FISM, European Close-up Magic Championships, the IBM British Ring competition and the Macmillan International, amongst others, as well as entertaining audiences at high-profile gigs across the globe. Grips, Lines and Looks details the exact approach Marc uses, and it explains how you can apply the same system to every one of your own performances.

"Reading your thought process gave me an amazing insight into why you did so well at FISM... The magic world is really lucky that you are sharing your thought process."
- Richard Young

"Marc Oberon has managed to create a very 'practical theory' with Grips, Lines and Looks. It is an approach to performing that all magicians should review and consider in an effort to raise the level of their performance."
- Pete Wardell

"I think you have some brilliant thinking here and, if nothing else, will invite the reader to question whether their own magic is as strong as it could be. Very thought provoking - on track to be a very useful work for any serious performer."
- Nicholas Einhorn

"I've always admired Marc Oberon's artistry. Of course, his magic is always of the highest quality, but there is something else -- those intangible qualities that mark out a true performer from someone who does some great tricks. If you are serious about PERFORMING and want your performance to become closer to art, then this is the book for you."
- Marc Paul

"With study and practice, it's IMPOSSIBLE not to improve your magical performances if you purchase this item."
- Dee Christopher

"Marc Oberon is on top of his game. His new book deconstructs what makes his magic so magical."
- Andi Gladwin

"Beautiful quality from cover to cover. Smart practical routines with mind-expanding theories."
- Jeff McBride

Burn Notice by Takel

"This is the most organic and most believable Mystery Box version I have ever seen..."
- Titanas

The Mystery Box has always been one of magic's most baffling plots and one of the most unexplainable crescendos to a routine.

Burn Notice takes the strongest elements of the mystery box and blends them with an organic every day object that everyone is familiar with: a simple match box.

The simple operation of the gimmick makes the retention of vision unmistakable, with the matchbox ending super clean and it easily resets in two seconds. Now, you can perform your favorite mystery box plot with a small, powerful gimmick that rides in your pocket wherever you go.

Box by Sinbad Max

Sinbad Max has been lurking in the underground magic scene of Beijing, China for far too long. Throughout his years in hiding, he became tremendously influenced by the elegance of David Roth, the hard-hitting magic of Curtis Kam, and the technical finesses of Kainoa Harbottle.

Thanks to these great influences, Max developed his own captivating style of performance. He’s deeply fond of kicker endings and considers them a significant part of his coin magic. He loves their wildly visual, disarming nature and finds them to be reflective of his own personality.

Max’s immense, dynamic repertoire caught our attention at Lost Art, and we’re very proud to share his innovative and stylized coin magic with you.

Welcome to Box.

WHAT IS BOX?

Box is two separate coin routines that utilize the standard Okito Box, and are made to perform for today’s audience. There are absolutely no gimmicks or extra coins involved; just creative sleight of hand intermixed within beautiful choreography.

As Max breaks down his routines, you’ll discover that even his original techniques alone will inspire new applications, and also help refine your already existing coin routines.

ESCAPE – Four coins are fairly placed inside a brass box. One by one, the isolated coins visually penetrate through the box and land onto the table. The last phase ends with a kicker ending that is adaptable to your preferred style.
CRASH – One by one, four coins magically vanish and appear inside a brass box. As the last coin is about to vanish, all four coins suddenly reappear back onto the table.
At Lost Art Magic, our goal is to provide the best possible learning experience for you. This DVD includes over 60 minutes of detailed instructions with interactive camera angles and insightful commentary by our Co-Founder, Eric Jones. We are very excited to bring Max out of the woodworks with this engaging and informative project.

The performer bends a coin in a participant's mind, causing them to impossibly feel an object that another participant has concealed in a fist.

Mental Bending is one of the most unique takes on the psychokinetic metal effect. There is no other PK metal plot like this on the market, where you manipulate the way a piece of metal feels in a person's mind.

It looks like the real deal, and showcases an incredible twist at the end that no one will see coming!

"That looks killer, man"

Lior Manor LIVE (Penguin LIVE)

“Lior Manor may not be well known in the magic world, but that’s because he’s too busy flying around the world (always in First Class) doing shows for major corporations. He is known, however, to the elite of the magic and mentalism world. I have been to several of his lectures and, often, most of the attendees are other leading professionals. They come because they know Lior shares workable, money-making ideas that have been proven in the real world. He teaches the way he performs – with passion and with great humor. He’s not to be missed!” – Ken Weber

“Lior was one of the first Mentalism Lecturers I saw a decade ago and recently I saw his most recent lecture; both were amazing and inspiring. They were full of real life working material as he is one of the busiest workers on the planet. Rightfully so, as he is at the top of his field. This is a rare event to see him when you can.” – Craig Filicetti

He has great insights and material to share and, as well as all that, he’s one of the nicest guys in the business. Watch, enjoy and learn from one of the top professionals in the world.” – Ian Rowland

“Lior Manor is out there in the field performing. Any material he markets is guaranteed to be solid working material. Not only is his material consistently high caliber, it’s also contemporary and perfectly suited for today’s corporate market. Big Trivia, Talk To The Screen, Mobile Opener are all great effects for almost any corporate event. If you care to describe these effects to a prospective client, they realize that you know what you’re talking about, that you understand the industry, and they book you. I would unhesitatingly recommend all of Lior’s material.” – Derek Heron

“Having known Lior for more than 10 years, and having attended his exclusive 6 hour workshop in New York City, I can unequivocally state that Lior is the real deal.

“When Lior Manor speaks, I listen, I learn, and I laugh. Besides being one of my favorite people, Lior has an extraordinary knowledge of magic, mentalism, and business. Simply put, Lior is the best! He is one of the world’s best performers and marketers. I currently use several of Lior ideas on both on my stage and in my business. On two separate occasions I have traveled 1/2 way around the world to experience a lecture by Lior. Now all you have to do is “click” to spend an evening learning from the master. This is an opportunity that is not to be missed.” – Jon Stetson

“Lior is the teacher’s teacher. When Lior speaks, the world’s top mentalists stop and listen. His clever ideas and original thinking are highly commercial and solid gold.” – Brett Barry

Four Card Trick by Paul Romhany

Paul Romhany has been performing a version of this routine for well over twenty years. He recently teamed up with Kyle Peron and they together they have taken the classic twisting The Aces Effect and re-designed it so you can now perform it for kids using four world famous magicians.

Effect:
A multiphase four card routine where the cards turn face down one at a time, then face up. The backs of all the cards change color from red to black, then ALL the backs of the cards change color and design. The FOUR famous magicians include: David Copperfield, Doug Henning, Harry Houdini, and Cardini.

This is the perfect trick to have on you if you need to perform a trick for kids. You can create a story around some legends in magic as well as perform a very visual trick using the cards. It makes the perfect walk-around effect and something you will carry in your pocket and be ready to perform at anytime.

Ideal for all levels of people who love magic!

OJ GIMMICK // Jordan Victoria

Everyone knows how to make a card rises from the center of the deck. But each method has a negative point (complicated setup, thick gimmick, handling,…).

With the OJ GIMMICK you will learn how to get this powerful effect but without any of these problems.
You will have to PRACTICE before but this method is the one you will use EVERYDAY.

Look at these points and see how simple the rising card effect could be now :

- Have the gimmick in your deck all the time without any problems to perform other effects.
- No magnet, thread, flap, weight,…
- Easy to make (everyone has the needed material at home).
- Completely examinable before and after (the deck can be shuffled by your spectator)
- No card to damage (you can even use Jerry’s Nuggets!)
- Use your favorite deck of playing card.
- INVISIBLE gimmick.
- No sleight of hand

As said before you will have to PRACTICE before.
It is something very easy to use but practice is the key!

NO JOKE is Rick Lax’s personal handling of NFW. Rick has stripped the trick down to its core. He gets straight to the killer transformations.

--

When we started Penguin, we knew we had to exceed expectations. So the very first card trick we ever offered was NFW.

It blew us all away, and most importantly DESTROYED audiences. Over the last decade, it's been performed by literally thousands of pros around the world, every which way.

On the table, on the streets, in the hands, on the floor and even through Skype. How can it be so amazing? One word: Simplicity.

Four cards change from jokers to aces. No deck! And everything's in plain sight.

PROFESSIONALS: NFW is a worker. If you could measure magic's impact scientifically, you'd probably find that something in the DNA

At The Table Live Lecture Menny Lindenfeld

If you've never seen Menny Lindenfeld, AKA, "The ParaMentalist" perform, you are in for a real treat. An award-winning, international paranormal entertainer, Menny has appeared on numerous highly-rated international TV shows: including Phenomenon - (The Next Uri Geller), and was one of the finalists on Fool the Master with Max Maven, just to name a few.

Menny has used his supernatural ability to deform objects to the astonishment of audiences in twenty-two countries, and now he's revealing how to achieve that level of mastery here At The Table. Every effect you'll learn will utilize organic everyday objects, from spoons to rubber bands to keys. Learn to twist metal along with your spectator's minds! Join us right here, At The Table. Here are some things you'll learn:

Metal Spoon Bending: A multi-phase spoon bending effect. The spectator watches as the spoon distorts in the magician's hand. First a little bend, then a big bend, and then, finally, a massive bend. This very open and very fair effect alone is worth the price of admission.

Torn and Restored Rubber Band: Based on Harry Lorayne's T&R rubber band, Menny reveals a way to get into the method secretly, using only a single hand.

Twisted Spoon Effect: Menny adds a twist on the classic spoon bend, literally. He reveals how to create and use a twist in the spoon to make the effect even more impossible.

Color Changing Rubber Band: Menny has a rubber band wound tightly around two fingers, and with a snap of his other hand, the rubber band changes colors in front of the spectator's eyes. A simple yet delightful trick that anyone can do.

Bending Key Necklace: Menny places a normal key tied to a necklace around the spectator's neck. That does all the work, as the key is now twisted.

The Kreskin Altoid Effect: The spectator freely hides a signed coin in one of four Altoid boxes. No matter how much they mix them up, Menny is able to find the coin within seconds.

Box Ninety-Eight by Hand Crafted Miracles

The concept was simple.

1) Hand the spectator a small locked box to examine and hide away in their pocket or purse etc.
2) Perform a favorite magic or mentalism effect
3) Have the spectator retrieve the box, which is placed immediately on the table where it remains in full view while THE SPECTATOR UNLOCKS THE BOX THEMSELF AND REMOVES THE PREDICTION OR SIGNED CARD (or a coin, ring, bill, billet, lottery ticket, anything really)
4) Try to avoid the unscrupulous urge to start a religion

While the concept was simple, making a box capable of invisibly accomplishing the task proved far more difficult. After three long years of designing, CAD programming, and failed prototypes (ninety-seven of them to be precise), Handcrafted Miracles is pleased to release Box Ninety-Eight to friends in the mentalist and magic community.

Box Ninety-Eight is as close to the perfect worker's dream as Handcrafted Miracles could create. Those who are familiar with them know that they have no interest in misleading ad copy or videos so with that in mind consider the following, which any working magician or mentalist will certainly appreciate.

Box Ninety-Eight

1) Is small enough to fit in a jacket or hip pocket; perfect for close-up mentalism or magic
2) Is fully examinable before, during and after the effect
3) Has an inset brass lock with a key, perfect for mailing ahead to clients for predictions and equally perfect for removing all doubt about gimmickry
4) Is opaque, building mystery and putting the "magic punch line" at the end of the effect, thereby providing the best impact on the audience
5) Gets spectators involved since they hold the box throughout the entire performance
6) Has almost no angle issues and can be performed surrounded
7) Has unmatched versatility, can be used with billets, cards, coins, business cards, finger rings, lottery tickets, anything that will fit inside. No prior gimmicking or special preparation of items required
8) It is loaded instantly while in full view with no questionable or awkward moves. The load is so quick and casual, spectators will swear that you never touched the box
9) Requires no reset -- simply close the lid and lock it
10) Looks nice but ordinary, and is quality built to last for generations
11) Is unlocked and opened by the spectator, who removes the item themself; the performer has no need to be near it while it is opened

A select few have seen an early prototype; here is what they have had to say about Box Ninety-Eight:

"Holy crap... I had to watch the exposure video a couple of times to catch the load, even then it's hard to see it's so fast and clean. Dan this is the Bugatti of close-up boxes really."
- Mark Southworth

"Wow now that's truly impressive. That box is amazing and you can quote me, I mean every word. Great job on this one!"
- Peter Eggink

"WTF? Are you kidding me? Show it again... did you really load it or did you fake it? Seriously Dan in all my years as a buyer for Murphy's, this may be the best effect to cross my desk... I mean it, this is going to change everything, we have got to get this to market."
- Patrick Wolford, Murphy's Magic

King Of Warped by Martin Cox

"Back when I was doing strolling card magic, I'd have killed for this piece. OK, maybe only simple assault." -Lee Earle

"The best Card Warp variation I've seen!" Roy Walton

Imagine having the power to VISUALLY DISTORT REALITY, freakishly turning a signed card INSIDE OUT at a moment's notice... Sounds good? This 20+ minute download is for YOU.

After 15 years of development; UK underground legend Martin Cox has finally released his breakthrough method for Roy Walton's "Card Warp" effect.

Perfected over thousands of live performances on the street, in restaurants, in parlour settings and even on stage!

This simple and elegant gimmick will allow you to perform the most visual card twisting effect your audiences will ever see. Alongside the beautiful choreography of Martin's handling, this method is BULLETPROOF.

The gimmick takes up zero pocket space, there's a two-second set up time, and an instant reset; this trick is a working magician's dream!

Nova by Avi Yap & Skymember

Many eye candy card tricks like TNR and Color Changing usually require gimmicks to achieve the visualness. What if we are telling you that, our in-house artist, Avi Yap has developed a concept to perform these card tricks without any gimmicks yet they are still insanely visual? 

From the mind of Avi Yap, we proudly present to you Nova. 

Nova is Avi Yap's signature card routine that has been developed for more than 4 years. Nova has been impressing many respected magicians around the world like Dave Buck, Daniel Prado, Shawn Farquhar, Harapan Ong and Gregory Wilson. It's hard to believe that Nova doesn't require gimmicks until you learn the secret. 

In this DVD, you will learn: 

Color Change 
Perform an eye candy color changing effect utilizing Nova's concept. 

Utility Move 
Nova doesn't only shine when done visually. Utilizing Nova's concept, you can execute a card switch right under the spectator's nose without them even realizing. 

Torn and Restore 
Perform unbelievable TNR plot like never before. 

Marked Card 
Tear the corner of the signed card and hand it to your spectator. In a split second, the color of the signed card changes. The spectator then reveals the torn corner to still match the signed card. If you desire, you can change the color of the torn corner as well. 

Spark 
Visually transform a deck of cards blank utilizing nova's concept. 

Spark 2.0 
Spread the deck and have the spectator to choose a card, tear the corner and mysteriously vanish the torn corner. In the next second, you visually restore the card without any cover. Final Kicker? You turn the rest of the deck into the blank cards. 

If you want to take your sleight of hand card tricks to the next level. Look no further, you need to add this to your library.

Thoughts from the Professional Magicians: 

"WOW FOOLED ME!! I suspected a gimmick because it looks too perfect. Oh, was I wrong. Nova is one of the best examples of visual sleight of hand card magic I've seen in a while!" 
- Dave Buck 

"Avi Yap has created a mind-blowing visual effect that brings magic back in the game. It is rare to see something that looks like real magic. It is a rich technique with lots of applications. If you are into sleight of hand, this is a must learn!" 
- Daniel Prado 

"It's a slick visual move with lots of potentials to create many effects." 
- Shawn Farquhar

"Avi is one of Singapore's rising young stars in magic who combines slick sleight of hand and eye-popping visuals to his magic. He has taken a standard card flourish and made it into a thing of magical beauty. His execution is flawless." 
- Harapan Ong 

"I LOVE this move!! This breathtaking move is not easy, but soooooo worth the time and effort required for your card man arsenal!!" 
- Gregory Wilson 

"Might you consider this move like a knob: it might open a door to infinite possibilities, or you might just end up using it to break someone head with it. Either way, a win-win situation." 
- Bizau Cristian

Disclaimer: This is advanced sleight of hand and not suitable for beginners. Blank cards are not provided with the purchase.

Gene Anderson The Book

The Book's 256 pages are illustrated with 890 line drawings and photographs. Twenty-three chapters each describe one effect and routine to the tiniest detail. Each one is from my current working repertoire, and each has been routined and tightened over years of live performances for real people. If it isn't a current and honed performance piece, it's not in The Book. Routines that I no longer perform are not included, and no clever tricks were created just to be in this book. Four additional chapters contain supplemental information with no tricks. Twenty-seven personal snippets about me ("The Gene Pool") are sprinkled throughout the text, and 206 quotes provide additional insight with lots of humor. The back cover of the dust jacket provides a good overview and the chapter titles are listed on the content page.

Composition: Written words were a part of my "writing," but only a part. I needed to see those words, and their accompanying visuals, together in real time. I learned Adobe Illustrator and ultimately drew 487 illustrations.
