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.

Piece by Choi Hyo One

Temporarily Out of Order by Patrick Redford


Temporarily Out of Order is focused on memorized deck magic and stack work. It reintroduces The Redford Stack to the world and explores its many possible transformative features. The Redford Stack may be easily arranged from either a shuffled deck or a freshly opened pack of cards. It also transforms into a Parallel Stack, Stay Stack/Mirror stack, Si-Stebbins Stack, an alternating red-black stack, and more. Amazingly, the exact same sequence that sets into Si Stebbins returns the deck to the Redford Stack! The stack appears random and yet is packed full of features.

There are poker deals, blackjack deals, spelling effects, coincidence effects, faro effects, and much more. You'll learn a few of Patrick's favorite false shuffles, false cuts, and two sneaky deck switches! You'll also learn a handful of tricks that can be done while secretly setting up a borrowed deck into a stack! Many of the effects presented won't require the user to memorize the Redford order. This will allow it to be put to use immediately. In addition, there are many effects presented that aren't dependent on a specific memorized stack order, and may be performed with any memorized arrangement!

"Patrick has pushed stack work to a different level. I love what he's done with the pseudo-memorized and the memorized deck."
- Bob Cassidy

"Patrick fooled the crap out of me."
- Tom Gagnon

"I love the idea of a stack that you go in and out of. Bloody Genius! Only Patrick could create such a thing in such a practical way!"
- Ken Dyne

"Patrick has devised another beautifully constructed and truly deceptive set of routines surrounded by a wealth of knowledge. The title effect, 'Temporarily Out of Order,' is a reputation-making marathon of impossible moments. His work on the methods within this book are worth studying."
- Ben Seidman

"Loved it. The title effect, Temporarily Out of Order, is one of the best card tricks I have ever seen."
- Jon Armstrong

"Temporarily Out of Order is filled with gold."
- Mike Powers

Joe Rindfleisch is the master of rubber band magic. His work is unmatched and Flying Bandinis is a perfect example of how his crazy mind works.

Here's what happens in this incredible routine.

Phase THREE: The twisted band jumps from one rubber band to the next.

Phase FOUR: A third band is introduced and wrapped around one of the bands on your fingers, and it impossibly travels up and down the bands like an acrobat.

On this download you will get expert teaching from the master himself. Joe will make sure you are performing this effect like he does.

At The Table Live Lecture Christian Engblom


One third of the world-famous Fat Brothers and a student of Juan Tamariz, Christian Engblom is nothing short of a miracle worker when it comes to card magic. You may know this virtuoso for his work on Anti-Faro, The Cooler, or Pieces, but now he's bringing that brilliance for a session with us. So, pull up a chair, and prepare to be amazed as we welcome Christian Engblom right here, At The Table. Here's what you'll learn:

Oil Over Troubled Water: Christian's take on a classic plot. This version has a phase in the spectator's hand and a kicker ending. This super-easy trick is a must learn!

Human Scale: The spectator selects a card and places it in the middle, then cuts the deck to lose it back into the pack. Simply by weighing the deck, Christian is able to divine the position of the spectator's card.

Monte Routine: A classic Three Card Monte Routine performed in the way that only Christian can perform it. This version has an amazing ending where he purposefully rips a corner from the winning card. But when he reveals that the ripped card is no longer the winning card, the ripped corner has changed as well!

The Picasso Trick: A wonderful routine built around the story of Pablo Picasso. This effect is as surprising as it is engaging!

Triple C: A first-hand demo of Christian's latest creation, Triple C. This utility deck allows you to look like a master card manipulator without the years of work.

Leap by Agus Tjiu


Leap is a Coin-Through-Glass (or Ring-Through-Glass) effect, greatly improved in its presentation and method versus "the old days."

There have been many great methods available in different formats, such as a pedestal under a shot glass inside of a larger glass, an item resembling a coaster, to utilizing a table.

Some of those items are inconvenient to bring along and use for close-up magic or table hopping.

Leap, therefore, was developed for this effect - it is much easier to use, more convenient to bring along, and doesn't look suspicious.

And it utilizes something that most magicians already carry with them -- a deck of cards!

Hence, Leap is born.

- A signed coin visually penetrates a solid glass, landing in a shot glass inside the larger glass!
- Or, a marked finger visually penetrates a solid glass, landing in a shot glass inside the larger glass!
- Easy to do
- Looks natural -- accomplished with an innocent-looking gimmick
- No electronics -- everything is in your complete control
- Simple method -- one-hand touch

What you get:

- A shot glass
- Red Card Box
- Blue Card Box replacement
- Instructions

You will amaze your audiences with Leap!

Conscious Magic Episode 3 (Accuracy, STFU, The Formula and White Room) with Ran Pink and Andrew Gerard


"When I see Ran's or Andrew's name on a product, I instantly want to learn it because I know it's going to be well thought out and, above all, a real-world worker. To hear Ran and AG have now joined forces on a series of products has got me very excited. My order is in as should yours be! Their routines, methods, plots, and tips are perfect. When guys like this offer to share their thoughts, I for one can't wait to listen!"
- Peter Nardi

"Possibly the VERY BEST project I've seen in the field of mentalism. No mumbo-jumbo B#@%T - this is the real stuff. Can't wait for the rest of the series - a game changer!"
- Paul Romhany - Editor VANISH MAGIC MAGAZINE

"Not only are the effects strong, but I especially love the dialogue between these two. And, the insights and subtleties they give away are priceless."
- Haim Goldenberg

"Gerard has been the greatest influence on my professional career to date."
- Keith Barry

With more than two decades of creating and performing magic, and producing magic on TV, Ran and Andrew sit down for the first time and openly discuss and reveal their approach to performing magic and mentalism in everyday environments.

In this series, Ran and Andrew reveal their go-to routines that they perform in real-life casual situations such as bars, house parties, and on the street. Not only do they teach new effects but they break them down, discussing their creative process and give insight that will help make the magic you create even better.

"Our mission with Conscious Magic is to elevate the art of magic by empowering the performer to have a deeper insight into the process of creating, performing, and even thinking about magic on a new level."

In this Episode

Accuracy
The performer places two bills on the table along with a quarter. The spectator is asked to spin the quarter on the table and to remember which side lands face up. The spectator places the magician's wallet over the quarter so it is completely hidden. Next, the spectator is asked to hide one bill in each hand. All this is done while the performer's back is turned. When the performer turns around, the performer will know the location of each bill and which side of the coin landed face up.

STFU
STFU is not just one trick or method, it is a tool that will allow you to create many effects. It eliminates palming, stealing, switching, and loading. Not only do you get this tool included in the package, but we've shot performances and explanations of effects where the spectator loses the memory of a chosen card, a card vanishes in the fairest way and appears in an impossible location and more. New Segment: Brainstorm section for STFU where Ran and Andrew riff on ideas for other uses of this tool.

The Formula
The spectator thinks of any card, generates a random number, and shuffles the deck. That number is dealt to and, in this shuffled deck of cards, it is revealed that their card is precisely at that number. Andrew reveals that the rest of the deck was actually blank. On top of that, the card that they were thinking of was blank too, which means the whole experience just happened in their mind.

White Room
White Room is a technique you can use to create a direct mind reading experience using nothing but the imagination. The person keeps their eyes closed for more than half the trick and everyone watching knows that they're experiencing something special, creating an interesting spectacle. You will always have this with you because it uses nothing but words. Imagine being able to tell a person what card they have arrived at while making every decision secretly in their mind.

"First off, the material Andrew and Ran perform and teach is damn strong! But if there's one lesson you can and should learn while watching them, it's how they take these pieces to make a connection with the people. This is powerful stuff and the true secret of intimate theatre."
- John Carey

"If I had a list of 10 mystery artists I'd like to be locked in a room with, Andrew Gerard and Ran Pink would be on that list. They constantly inspire me by stripping effects down to organic seamless simplistic moments of astonishment. To have these two modern day masters brainstorming together is an opportunity I will not miss, and neither should you."
- Marc Spelmann

Pablo Amira LIVE (Penguin LIVE)


"Pablo is one of my truly special Students. Over the years he has helped shape and change the way mentalism is viewed and performed." - Kenton Knepper

"I know Pablo personally and, besides being an absolutely marvelous and kind person, he is an incredible originator who never stops thinking." - Richard Osterlind

"I've very much enjoyed watching Pablo Amira develop, in less than a decade, into one of mentalism's most creative and prolific authors. I highly recommend his material. He is a man to be watched. He's also one of the nicest guys in the business." - Bob Cassidy

"Pablo is one of my all time favorite thinkers. He is brilliant." - Neal Scryer

"Pablo Amira's work is always interesting and fresh. His subtle mix of techniques results in interesting premises, methods and effects that are fun and entertaining for any audience. He has a wealth of knowledge spread over a variety of subjects relating to mentalism - Pay close attention if not you'll miss out!" - Peter Turner

"Pablo is a mentalist's gift. Not only a brilliant inventor, innovator, and creative mind, but a sharp business mind in marketing, distributing and promoting. He is a triple or quadruple threat. His miracles are well thought out, usually easy to do ( but like all mentalism- your performance should not be easy) and quite unforgettable. I can't wait for his brilliance to shine on Penguin brothers and sisters. You are in for more than a treat--as I said, he's a threat to rationality." - Marc Salem

"Pablo Amirà is a very prolific author and a busy performer. His works are the perfect combination between simplicity and amazement. He knows how to connect with people giving them experiences that they will never forget. A lecture from Pablo is something not to be missed and he is also a great guy!" - Luca Volpe

"I'm SO excited to hear that Pablo is finally doing a Penguin Live Lecture! This amazing performer not only has a vast array of amazing material that you WILL use, but I know that he will offer the kind of insights and thoughts that only a real mentalist could! I expect that MY working repertoire will have many new additions following this anticipated event, as will yours!" - Dee Christopher

Joel Dickinson - Foreseen


Joel Dickinson presents, Foreseen.
A 'Which Hand' routine with a BIG difference.

An effect for mentalists and magicians.

"Joel has really moved forward the “which hand” plot. This is a very elegant solution, with some clever thinking and efficient routining.”
Marc Paul.

"Joel, this is genius! There were a few times while reading the routine when a big smile appeared on my face. This is a brilliant routine and finally a "which hand" type routine that I want to perform! No logic puzzles or gimmicks, just very clever construction of a routine that is not only easy, but practically impromptu!"
Iain Moran, professional mentalist & magician.

EFFECT :

Your participant guesses which hand an object sits in, this game is played five times. The performers prediction astonishes all as it reveals he knew the outcome in advance.

Then, jaws drop for a second time as the performer reveals that he knew every decision the participant would make, and whats more, the prediction has been in the participants pocket from the word go.

This is gimmick-less and it is super simple to perform.
No magnets and nothing to go wrong.

Foreseen includes essential tips and subtleties.

And also includes an amazing bonus handling.

Foreseen is a reputation maker, a thoroughly thought out piece of mentalism and a unique prediction based routine. It's an organic miracle.

APFYT By Peter Turner


This is another winner from Peter Turner.  Peter is known for his use of creative thinking, applied psychology and impromptu and prop free mentalism. This ebook details four different routines that offer plenty of variety and insight into Peter’s way of thinking. This ebook fits neatly into Peter’s codex of work and will provide you with workable on-the-spot routines.



Hangman- The spectators and the mentalist play a game of hangman. This is a bold but workable piece of pocket mentalism using nothing more than business cards and spectators, in which you show the impossibility of the outcome.



Two Person Telepathy- Using business cards and two spectators you are able to divine what word and name they are thinking of without pumping or fishing.  You can even use this routine to create a drawing, demonstrating that you were seeing the mental image a spectator was thinking about.



Guess Who- This routine uses nothing more than the spectator.  When asked to think of a random name, you are able to give that name, not just to one spectator but also to others in the audience, who were thinking of different names!

Guess Who isn’t just a routine though, it is a principal, which Peter discusses in detail; providing thoughts on mentalism performance as a whole and how it applies to this principle.

Guess Who covers three different approaches to achieve the technique and provides words of saga advice for the performer at any level.



The Book of the Fallen- Imagine doing a book test with a completely ungimmicked book, which can even be borrowed on the spot, where volunteers can select any page and any word and you will know the selected word.   You need only make a small gimmick, which can be had for only pennies and is fully explained.

This is but a part of what you get out of this routine, as again, Peter offers deep insight and thinking into the little subtleties that take something from being an interesting effect to something that is, quite simply, stunning.



A.P.F.Y.T. is the perfect addition to any mentalists library and provides you with thought provoking pieces that will allow you to push your mentalism further.



Each ebook is secretly marked to prevent privacy.

Mentalism Master Class Vol. 13 Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants By Peter Turner


Throughout the duration of this volume Peter pays tribute to the giants that have come before us.

Too many times the classics are dismissed as outdated or no longer relevant because of the props utilised in those texts.

In this volume Peter examines routines by “Orville Meyer”, “Martin Gardner”, “Theodore Annemann”, “Bev Bergeron”, “Bob Cassidy”, “Michael Mence”, “Corinda” and “Richard Osterlind” to open the readers eyes to just how relevant a lot of the classics are today whilst adding a twist and update to those ideas and routines.

This may be your favorite volume from the series.

Hofzinser (Limited Ed.) by Magic Christian - Volumes I and II

MEMORIA 2 BY FRASER PARKER


Memoria 2 is Fraser's ingenious solution for revealing a memory someone is merely thinking of and the long awaited update and sequel to his critically acclaimed work Memoria.

Fraser has removed the need for a deck of cards to be in play and rebuilt this classic routine from the ground up and in the process has created an entirely new method and structure for the effect that allows you to not only reveal a spectator's exact thought of memory, prop-lessly, and with very little effort but to also get their star sign for free, as a kicker ending to the routine.

Utilizing the visualization of colours and their implicit link to emotions, memories and the life experiences of his spectators Fraser has created a masterpiece of prop-less Mentalism, which will no doubt become THE go to memory reveal for a lot of performers.

NO snap change or re-frame.
NO writing anything down.
NO anagrams.
NO matrices (Horrors!)
NO playing cards or psyc forces
NO eye accessing cues
NO verbal cues
Only words and their ability to shift
perception are used.

Also included is Adrien Lochon's beautiful prop-less star sign revelation that has never before seen print which utilizes lesser known subtleties from Fraser and was the inspiration for this updated version of Memoria.

This is perhaps one of the most streamline and elegant solutions for revealing a spectator's star sign ever conceived. The spectator stays completely silent throughout the process and after a few seconds of having the spectator visualize the colour associated with their sign, you are able to reveal it instantly and with complete accuracy.

Instant Lotto By Alan Rorrison


During my sinner series on instagram, Instant Lotto as one of my most popular uploads. Ever since I have uploaded the quick performance video I have had constant emails asking if I will release this effect at any point and with a hope to not let any one down, here it is

Instant lotto is a quick trick that you can leave in your wallet and have ready to go with in seconds. It is also stunningly visual and super easy to do. Just have a peek at the demo to see what all the fuss is about. I have left the video unedited with no fancy cuts so you can see everything as it should be.
Just before we move on. Keep in mind that this DOES WORK with the new plastic/polymeor notes also. It works exactly the same and looks just as good.

This download is 40 minutes long and we go over every little detail on how to build and maintain this awesome little gimmick. We also go over how to use it in detail and how to let your spectators inspect the bill after the change.


QUOTES:
"I could spend a lotto time pounding out the puns but I won't. Look at that visual, pure magic. Add to cart." - Ben Williams
"The thing I love about Instant Lotto is how visual it is. If you could instantly cash in one of those scratch cards by magic, this is exactly how it would look. Just buy it!" -Dee Christopher
"Instant Lotto is an incredible piece of magic that in real life looks like CGI. Alan has used his experience once again to create one of the most stunning and simple pieces of magic with an everyday object." - Mathew Parrot
"It looks fantastic and made my eyes pop! Very nice Mr Rorrison." Peter McLanachan

Art and Magic by S.H. Sharpe


I have some copies of this out of print book. NEW still in shrinkwrap.

Shortly before his death, S.H. Sharpe (author of Neo-Magic Artistry and other classics), completed a book of profound ideas about magic and art. This long awaited collection of over 1000 individual Sharpe thoughts is finally available to inspire and enlighten your magic. Art and Magic also contains amazing additional material by Sharpe, including the complete text of his much sought after "Words of Wonder." 350 hardbound pages in typical, beautiful Miracle Factory style with acid free satin finish paper and full color cover by artist Katlyn Breene.
Just read what is being said about this great work:

"Sam Sharpe was a magical treasure. As I read these collected thoughts, I was struck by their sheer power and beauty. Never underestimate the power of a single thought and what it can do to change your magic and your life." - EUGENE BURGER

"Sharpe will blow your mind with his insights. Art and Magic is a great book for all magicians, any page, any time. It's a book of knowledge, a book of secrets, a book of magic for a new generation" - VITO LUPO

Cartoon Capers by Gary Jones


This exceeded our expectations of what a card trick is capable of.

It's seriously like having an "Acme Portable Hole" from road runner cartoons... you take a hole from one card and move it to another card.

But here's the mind-blowing part: The card you transfer the hole to, was a SIGNED chosen card.. and not just signed a little... it was signed all over, up and down. The hole even removes part of their signature. It's insane.

Gary has created something wonderful. It comes with the props you need, and Gary teaches you how to make more (it is super easy).

Every time you perform this, you create an unforgettable IMPOSSIBLE souvenir. I love it, and I think you will too.

We don't have a ton of these, so take a look soon. Oh, and there's free shipping so that's a big plus.

Into Thin Air by Sultan Orazaly


Vanishing an object is one of the staples of any modern magician’s repertoire. Nothing can be more simple or clean to communicate a magician’s skill in magic, and vanishing a playing card is usually the object of choice.

SansMinds Magic is proud to present a new take on the classic effect from our friend Sultan Orazaly that turns the plot upside down and leaves an unforgettable memory.

Imagine a card not only vanishes completely, but does so one piece at a time. That’s right, one piece at a time. Did we mention that the card also appears to be floating in mid air while it happens? And it couldn’t be easier to perform.

Into Thin Air is one of the cleanest and most memorable versions of this effect that we have ever seen and we’re proud to be making it available to our customers.

Thank you, Sultan, for this beautiful and simple little miracle.

We have to give a special thank you and shout out to our friend Victor Sanz. Great minds think alike! Victor performed a similar effect which he put on his social media accounts and we love it. Take some time to check him out!

TRAVEL by Mickael Chatelain


In the world of magic, there are THOUSANDS of tricks and as many gimmicks, each one crazier than the next...

We're proud to offer you a trick using, as far as we know, a TOTALLY NEW gimmick! There's nothing like it on the market. That's why we're particularly proud to offer to the magic community our latest creation - TRAVEL!



Take out your cased deck. Remove the cards from the case. Close the case and leave it on the table in full view. No one touches it!

Show your spectators that the deck is completely normal. You point out that the cards have faces and backs and all the cards are different.

Offer one of your spectators a FREE CHOICE of a card - he can change his mind if he likes. In short, there REALLY is NO force - the choice is 100% free.

The card is placed face up on top of the deck and the spectator signs its face. You then explain that his card will travel from the top of the deck to inside the case!

Show your hand empty and bring it over the card as if to make it vanish. But your spectator is not an idiot; he easily notices that you have palmed the card! In fact, the card juts out beyond your hand, fooling no one. OK, OK!

You begin again, asking the spectator to watch closely this time. The card is replaced face up on top of the deck. The case is still on the table and your hand is empty. Everything OK so far?

As before, you bring your empty hand slowly over the card. Your spectator burns your hand with redoubled attention, but this time, the card does not jut out. Your spectator wants to see your hand. You turn it over. IMPOSSIBLE! The card isn't there. Gone without a trace! It's not on the deck; it's not in your hand. How is this possible?????

Explain that the card is now in the case! NO WAY, as the spectators will remember that the case has been on the table since the beginning of the trick!

Show the cards remaining in the deck. Not a trace of the chosen card!

Pick up and shake the case. You can HEAR there's something inside! Your hand is empty. You slowly open the case. You reach inside with your thumb and index finger and take out... the FREELY CHOSEN and SIGNED SELECTED CARD!

How is this POSSIBLE?

Pass out the deck for examination to prove there are no duplicates or other irregularities.

No need to remind you that the card is STILL SIGNED - PROOF of its invisible passage!

Remember these points:
The deck is ORDINARY - Use your own!
NO force! The chosen card is ORDINARY and UNGIMMICKED!
NO palming - NOTHING is hidden in your hand!
The card REALLY does seem to travel from the deck to the card case!
EASY TO DO, as the gimmick takes care of EVERYTHING for you!
Your spectators will THINK they're onto you, yet they'll be TOTALLY FOOLED!
Three second reset!
"I am proud to offer you TRAVEL, an unbelievable trick that will FOOL YOU! A gimmick that will vanish any card before the very eyes of your astonished spectators!"
- Mickael Chatelain

Marked Cards by Rick Lax


"Finally a marked deck I can use as an everyday deck! Simple and clear markings that are strategically positioned and a low enough price where I don't have to panic every time a spectator drops the selected card in her soup!" -Meir Yedid

I'm going to let you in on a secret: Some of the world's top card magicians use marked cards... every single time they perform. They use the decks in ways you've never even thought of.

Some magicians are afraid of getting caught using marked cards. But here's the thing, NOBODY gets caught because a spectator sees the marks. You get caught when you STARE AT THE MARKS FOR TOO LONG. So we designed marks that are bigger, more visible, yet ORGANICALLY hidden in design.

This deck is also the most affordable, which isn't just nice, it's a GAME CHANGER because now you can handle the deck just like you would any other old cheap deck of NORMAL cards. You can have cards signed. You can tear cards up. You can throw them around. Do whatever tricks you'd normally do.

Speaking of tricks, when you buy even ONE deck of Marked Cards, you're going to get TWO FREE, full-length DOWNLOADS showing you a bunch of BRAND NEW effects that can be done with these cards.

The first download features me. Basically, I read through all the old marked deck books, pulled out the best five tricks I could find, and then worked with my Vegas friends to modernize and improve them. Every single one of these 5 tricks has the power to KILL. Just look at the demo video and see for yourself.

The second download features Jon Armstrong. He's one of those card pros who uses marked cards ALWAYS. Seriously, if you've seen him do card tricks, the cards were marked. He's going to teach you advanced marked card technique. He's going to reveal how marked cards can DRAMATICALLY improve the tricks you already perform. He'll show you how marked cards can act as a failsafe in case your trick goes wrong. He will show you how marked cards are the single most powerful weapon you've overlooked.

TWO MORE RANDOM DECK BONUSES

1) Each deck comes with four duplicate aces. So if you perform tricks that need dupes, you can just bring one deck to the gig with you and you're good to go.

2) The cards come stacked in Mnemonica order. So if you do memory work, just throw in a couple false shuffles and you're ready to perform miracles. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about here, don't worry about it. Doesn't change the cards in any way. ;)

Look, I know I've been going on FOREVER. But that's because I'm passionate about this deck. I truly believe in it. I suspect we're going to sell out of this deck in 24 hours. So if you don't mind waiting for the second printing, there's no need to buy it right now. (We'll send you an email when the second printing comes out a couple months from now). But if you are eager to get your hands on this deck, get it now.

PS: After you watch the free download with Jon Armstrong, any fears you might have about getting "caught" will VANISH. Seriously, he's going to show you how to use marked cards the RIGHT way so nobody even IMAGINES that they MIGHT be marked.

EVANESCE by Mike Liu and Vortex Magic - Bonus Ideas by Eric Chien


After three years in the making and 10 different prototypes, we can now bring you the very best, hand crafted fashion tool for the modern magician. It will enable you to VANISH, RETRIEVE, SWITCH, LINK, and TRANSPOSE small objects cleanly and openly, showing your hands empty before and after. The possibilities for coin, card and finger ring magic are endless...

Mike Liu has created a very unique tool that he wears daily and is always ready to perform miracles. The ability to completely VANISH an object, showing your hands empty, is something magicians have sought for a very long time. This is a practical tool that is designed to be worn in short or long sleeves. It is right out in the open and the spectators will not suspect a thing.

STAB by Peter Eggink


A card is selected from the deck, folded in half widthwise, and the center is torn out so an actual hole is created in the middle of the card.
Next, you borrow a bill from your spectator, fold it in half lengthwise, and place it between the card's folds.

The bill can be clearly seen through the hole at all times throughout the routine. With a (borrowed) pen or pencil, you now stab right through the center of the bill! The pen is unmistakably punched right THROUGH the center of the borrowed bill and is clearly shown on both sides!

The pen is removed... and with a touch of magic the punched hole seems to have magically healed itself! The freshly restored bill is handed back to its owner straight away, as well as the card, for her to keep as a unique souvenir!

STAB by Peter Eggink is really a stunning, beautiful piece of organic magic that we know you'll LOVE!

SUPER Visual
VERY easy to do
Gimmick adapts to any currency
360-degree performing angle
Resets in seconds
Your STAB package comes complete with "training" bills in EURO and USD, gimmicks, and the online streaming tutorial. (Some assembly required).

Risen by James Conti


Risen, by James Conti, is a new and exciting method for Rising Card! Can be done with a borrowed deck of cards from a borrowed box.

Borrow or use your own deck of cards. Ask your spectator to open the box, shuffle the deck and remove ANY card.

Your spectator puts all the remaining cards back in the box and signs the selected card. The selected card is put in the deck and you close the box.

Now you take the box, put in some magical energy, open the box and, slowly, one card rises from the center of the deck. It is the selected card, which you can immediately HAND OUT!

Risen: A great and very clever idea from James Conti, proudly produced by Magic from Holland. Your audience will be astonished!
