Final Destination by Paul Gordon

"Paul Gordon is fast becoming my favorite card guy." -Jose Buevo

"Paul Gordon is an excellent teacher." -Dave Radis

"Paul is a wonderful teacher (this I already know from attending his live lecture)" -Michael Paul

Paul Gordon is known for incredibly clever trick design. But this one may be his best yet.

All the important stuff is done by your spectators while your head is turned, which makes ANY trick mind boggling.

A card is chosen from a small pile. Not only are you able to guess it by reading your spectator's mind, but the kicker reveals it's the ONLY CARD OF ITS KIND IN THE PACK.

Highly recommended.

Mind Readers Triump-h by Luis Carreon

Take one of the most powerful card tricks of all time, and add misdirection, mind-reading, SUPER polished handling and you've got MRT: Mind Readers Triumph.

The trick starts like the classic, a card is chosen and returned to an absurdly shuffled deck. Here's where it goes to a new level.. not only did you SECRETLY DISCOVER what card they chose, you can perform a mind-reading revelation PLUS show that the cards have all turned the same way except the chosen card. So that's 2 mind-blowing effects in one.

The handling on this trick is so convincing and innocent looking, it even fools magicians who know the basic triumph. It's obvious Luis is a worker who's been polishing it for years.

All Tied Up by Chris Philpott

"One of the most powerful tricks you'll ever do with a pack of cards."
- Steve Valentine (four-time Magic Castle Award Winner)

"Dammit Chris, I love this!"
-Gerry Katzman (Magic Castle, Comedy Central, NBC, ABC, FOX...)

"Chris is a genius! His book Intimate Mysteries [where a short version of "All Tied Up" was first published] is in my top 5 Magic books. Maybe top 3." -Stephen Eric Young

"Pure, to the heart magic."
-Daniel Ricks

"Wow! I love this!"
-Kelli Maroney Ulin

"Steve Valentine is right when he says this is one of the strongest effects you can do with a deck of cards. What I like about this piece is the spectators remember it and take something from the experience."
- Alex Hinojosa

"It's really special. Amazing thing, Chris! So many ways to use this."
-Patrick Torres

"Do Not Release This! The strongest card trick I perform from one of my favorite books."
- Matthew Novak

"BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for releasing this!"
-Paul Hamilton

All Tied Up begins as a psychological game, veers into an emotional exploration of your spectator, reveals itself as a card trick and then, in a powerful finale, becomes an act of empowerment that your spectator will remember for a long, long time.

The strength of the effect is all in its script, but Chris Philpott (with Steve Valentine) also go into details about the handling for both an impromptu version and one using a gimmicked deck (which you may already own). All the handlings are easy-to-do, so you can concentrate on performance.

Originally printed in Chris’ book Intimate Mysteries (“A must buy!” –Mark Elsdon; “One of the best books I’ve EVER owned!” – Stephen Young; “A major contribution to our art! - Neil Somerville), the effect in this video contains much more details on both handling and presentation.

“Of all the effects I’ve come up with, this is the one I do more than any other. I have fried a room full of knowledgeable magicians with it and done it for friends who became very emotional when it was performed for them. If I have time for just one effect, it’s All Tied Up.” –Chris Philpott

"This is my every-day drawing duplication, which is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE premise in mentalism. Once you learn the secret, you'll never want to leave house without it." -Chris Rawlins

Devin Knight LIVE 2 (Penguin LIVE)

"The span of his thinking is unreal. Old ideas gleam anew. His memory work and his teaching are not to be missed. You need ideas in salesmanship, Devin knows. Publicity stunts - I’ve used his too. Each is a gem, but always with room to grow in your own hands."- Marc Salem

C - Fold By Scott Alexander

Scott Alexander’s C-Fold is just like C4 …its freaking dynamite! This is a super quick, in the hands card fold technique that not only folds the card, but insures the job is done neatly every time. No more weird bends or angles in your folds. C- Fold gets the job done right!

Not only does Scott tip his fold, he also shows you how he uses it in a classic and powerful piece of close up called the Card in Matchbook, made famous by the inimitable Matt Schulien. Scott completely explains his handling and routine for this powerhouse effect. He provides you with comedy lines and the perfect bit of choreography and misdirection to do the dirty work right in front of everyone. He also shows how this versitile fold can be used for other effects, like the Card in Can, and Card In Mouth. C-Fold takes out all the lag time of other more cumbersome card folds.

Finally, Scott unleashes another bit of matchbook magic with a new twist on trick published by Ted Annemann called “Before Your Eyes” which uses a new innovation in conjunction with this weird little piece of mental magic.

Total running time is 30 minutes.
Featuring “Card in Matchbook” and “Before Your Eyes”

Showdown by Jason Wethington

Jason Wethington has been doing magic for a long time. He creates for his own act, so when he publishes anything you know it's a worker.

Showdown will be your new favorite impromptu miracle. It uses just 2 props, a pen and a dollar. They can be borrowed, so all you need to perform SHOWDOWN is to SHOW UP.

Patrick Redford LIVE 3 (Penguin LIVE)

“For those of you who have seen Patrick work before need no introduction. In the past 10 years or so he has built up an international reputation for his brilliant and inspired thinking in the mentalist arena. You will not get any pipe dreams here. Just powerful and practical audience tested mysteries you will definitely want to use!” - John Carey

“When George visits us here at the magic shop he draws a crowd of people eager to tell him how great his tricks are working for them since they’ve made them a regular part of their act. He has a brilliant mind that approaches magic in innovative directions. His effects are fair and believable, incorporating original methods with strong audience impact that appear to be purely magic." - Paul Nielsen (Owner of Wunderground Magic in Metro Detroit)

Copycat by David Parr

"What a wonderfully choreographed piece of magic. I love when a spectator becomes the co-star of a miracle." - Andrew Basso

"I have seen this up close and in person, and it is mind-blowing." - Suzanne the Magician

"Copycat is a lovely magical interlude that will fool and surprise any audience. I love it!" - Paul Gertner

"Yes, this fooled Penn & Teller. But more importantly, it entertained them. And now, even more importantly, you can learn it and entertain (and fool) your audiences." - Jon Armstrong

"David Parr fooled Penn & Teller. And fooled me. And now you can fool your audiences too." - Anthony Owen

"David Parr’s Copycat is a beautiful effect: from its first moments — setting it up as a game, ringing a bell, the playful silence and the invitation to snap an elastic into the air — it establishes a mood of childlike fun and disarms critical thinking. The steps are always crystal clear, but there are just enough of them that they are hard to reverse-engineer. In the end, you don’t mind being fooled by it because it was such an enjoyable ride." - Chris Philpott

1 IN 52.0 BY ANTHEM FLINT

4 years ago, Anthem Flint released a limited run of books titled, Pendulums. The book was praised by many, but one effect stuck out. 1 in 52.


After having performed this effect thousands of times on cruises, in theatres, close-up, and in nearly any performing situation imaginable, Anthem presents his renewed and rejuvenated work on this impossible Card Mentalism piece.

TESTIMONIALS ON ICON

“Stuart Palm is someone who I highly regard as a genius in the field of Mentalism, his help and advise on my work has been invaluable and so when Stuart released his ICON effect today I knew that I just had to get it.

ICON is a fantastic tool for the modern mentalist who wants to have a solid logo reveal or even a drawing duplication.

Stuart provides more than enough to get you started with the routine and a huge amount of ideas on how to use this onstage, for a drawing duplication and more.

ICON is something that I will certainly be using from now on in my corporate work and close up work. It is perfect for working with large corporations and one on one work too.

Stuart provides a link to his website in the eBook that provides you with all the relevant logos for you to make this up and start performing straight away.

This is a method that most magicians will find far easier than the classic Mercury Card Fold and many will be adopting this as their preferred method.

Mint Box by Daniel Garcia

The most highly anticipated magic trick of the year is here!

A device that creates MIRACLES, built into a mini tin of Altoid mints. You will NEVER leave home without Mint Box by Danny Garcia.

Danny Garcia invented some of the best magic of the early 2000s... and then he mysteriously vanished from the industry. What you may NOT know, is that he NEVER stopped creating magic and has only gotten better. In fact, he's been creating a lot of the magic you've seen on TV for the top magicians on the planet.

He hasn't released a single thing in YEARS. Until today.

Mint Box is a card-to-box like nothing you've seen before. You can perform it secretly to cause a signed card to appear in your pocket, but where it takes things to A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL is that you can even use it to visually vanish or transform objects.

All built into a mini Altoids mint tin, this is the most portable and best card-to-box we've ever seen.

Occultatum by Menny Lindenfeld

This mentalism effect will knock your spectator's socks off!

"Menny demonstrated Occultatum™ over and over again, each time discovering the coin I've supplied and hidden myself. I have no idea how he did it. MENNY BLEW MY MIND!"
- Uri Geller

"I like Menny's attention to detail. He understands that deliberate subtleties enhance the performance, and the result is that OCCULTATUM IS BOTH PRACTICAL AND STRONG."
- Max Maven

We are super excited to bring you Occultatum™ - one of Menny Lindenfeld's most closely-guarded underground secrets in mentalism.

Occultatum™ ("Hidden" in Latin) has been Menny Lindenfeld's secret weapon for over a decade. It is a PSYCHOLOGICAL SYSTEM that helps you detect a hidden object.

Imagine:
A participant hides a personal object (e.g. her ring) in one of many boxes.

She has a real FREE CHOICE to hide the object in any box.
She can FREELY MIX the boxes as much as she wants.
You can be blindfolded or even OUT OF THE ROOM during this process.
And when you come back, you GENUINELY DO NOT KNOW where the object hides.

And yet, without the use of electronics or magnets, and WITHOUT ASKING THE SPECTATOR ANY QUESTIONS, you are able to guess where the object hides - using the Occultatum™ psychological system.

You can perform with any number of boxes, or without any boxes at all - by simply letting someone sign an object instead of hiding it.

You can apply the system for close-up, for stage - using large objects (e.g. a basketball) or fully impromptu - using everyday objects (e.g. disposable coffee cups, beer caps, beer coasters, packets of sugar, and more).
You can even perform with your own business cards - which is a powerful and a memorable way to hand out your cards.

The METHOD IS BULLETPROOF and works with 100% accuracy every time.

Occultatum™ is your secret mentalism weapon that will make you feel like a real psychic every time you demonstrate it.

Powerful and bulletproof method.
100% accuracy guaranteed!
No electronics or magnets.

Pure Mentalism by Nico Heinrich

“Time and time again, Nico and the groundbreaking new material which he has lovingly crafted and skillfully presented to me in return turned out just as beautiful, empowering and impressive. Mr. Heinrich has proven himself, his talents and his credentials as one of mentalism’s new rising stars; I’ve found him to be a gifted artist, unique and original creator and one of the top performers in the new genre of minimalist mind reading and propless or near-propless mentalism.” – Jerome Finley

“I have known Nico for more than ten years and everything he has ever invented is treasure for both mentalists and hypnotists. I’m a fan and I am proud to have had a chance at using his stuff during real life performances.” – Rainer Mees



This is Pure Mentalism. No complicated setups, no gimmicks. However, this is advanced stuff. If you don’t know how to handle your audience – this is not for you. If you have never read Corinda’s 13 Steps to Mentalism nor Annemann’s Practical Mental Effects – this is not for you. Otherwise, you don’t want to miss this!



Chapter 1: MIND READING

– NUMBER STEAL MIND READING is just fun to perform. It’s a flirty framework for any mind reading demo. Furthermore, it is an extremely elegant way of getting someone’s phone number.

– FORGOTTEN IMPRESSIONS is the boldest peek out there. You can use it with zodiac signs, numbers, dates, colors – virtually anything. What makes this concept unique though is: Later on they won’t even remember that they wrote something.

– 1000$ NAME GUESS is not only billet-less but extremely deceptive and almost impossible to backtrack. Nothing is written down, there are no gimmicks, very little fishing, and a straight forward presentation: They only think of someone that is important to them, you name two or three letters and then the whole name – that’s it! I have to say the method is not 100% but will work most of the time.

– PURE CARD READING is a really good method to know what playing card someone is thinking of. No real deck involved. Nothing written down. No psychological forces. This is 100% propless and impromptu.

– THOUGHT SHARING is an essay about an old magician’s gag that we can utilize to create the illusion of sharing a thought. Must read for every mind reader.

– UNIVERSAL ANYTHING is a very versatile and useful technique to describe a thought you don’t know anything about. Every purist has to know this method.

– UA BOOK TEST is an example of what you can do with the UNIVERSAL ANYTHING technique. Someone freely selects a thought from a borrowed book. They can even change their mind – no force! You describe that thought and also tell them what word they were thinking of before that. Impromptu.

– COCAINE is the greatest propless mind reading concept I have created so far and is worth at least twice the money you have paid for this book. If someone comes up to me and asks: “Can you read my mind?” – this is the answer. They think of anything at all (no limitations) and the performer is able to describe their thoughts. That’s it. There is no set up, no confederates, nothing to memorize, no anagrams, no psychological forces – nothing. I have performed this hundreds of times over the past seven years. I’ve done it in one-on-one-settings, for small groups, on stage, even over the phone. You will either hate or love this – there is no in between.



Chapter 2: PSYCHOMETRY

– BLUFF READINGS is an easy presentational framework for psychometry routines that makes the reading part a child’s play.

– PHYSICAL EMOTIONS II is a reversed which hand effect with two emotions. Finally, you reveal what they were thinking of. All you need is two business cards and a pen. It’s 100% impromptu.

– BOLD PSYCHOMETRY is so damn clean and fooling, that I can imagine “real” psychics doing it. You ask them to think of a positive and then three negative character traits. They are written on business cards, which are mixed and placed on the table. You never see the writing – yet you are able to locate and reveal the positive character trait without touching the cards. It is not what you expect. This looks and feels real. Again 100% impromptu.

– STAR SIGN PSYCHOMETRY uses four of your business cards and a pen. This sneaky variation of BOLD PSYCHOMETRY enables you to reveal their month of birth and their star sign with ease.



Chapter 3: SUGGESTION

– SUBLIMINAL OPENER is a quick and clean mind control effect that uses three objects. Nothing earth shattering, but a nice opener with some very clever subtleties.

– HEAD TAP INDUCTION is a very elegant and practical way to induce hypnosis, using only one finger.

– THE ROTARY KNOB is an invisible tool for changing the intensity of the rain, the size of someone’s pupil, the temperature of an object – and much, much more. Pure, imaginative mentalism at its best.

– INTENSE REALITY is mere suggestion at its finest. You ask them to close their eyes for a second – and the next moment they are experiencing reality about 50% stronger. This is one of the most reliable suggestion-based effects I know and there are some pretty nice applications for it.

– ERASING A FEAR is a technique to A) create the illusion of being able to make fears disappear and B) actually lighten someone’s fear.

– SUGGESTIVE READINGS actually enables you to change people’s behavior and soften their skepticism towards your performance. This is pure psychological manipulation.



Chapter 4: MISCELLANEOUS

– MOMENTALISM is a short essay on the use of the “magic moment” in mentalism.

– “I CAN’T READ YOU!” is an interesting approach, that will leave a long lasting impression on a stranger – without you having to perform anything!

– ESPRESSO uses only five business cards and a pen. They very fairly choose one of the cards and then a number from one to five. When the chosen card is turned over, their chosen number is written on its back. You turn over the remaining cards and they are – blank. Super easy to do and a nice way to hand out your business card. This can be performed with one or even two participants.

Haunted Box by Joao Miranda

"The biggest secret of this box is that it will offer you infinite hours of amazement."
- Dani DaOrtiz

"For me, João is a Genius. The ghost that hides inside into this box is a part of his brain... so brilliant!"
- Mickael Chatelain

"This is amazing! Finally, a Haunted-themed prop that actually does its job right. Everyone jumps!!!"
- Bobby Motta

"A fantastic, easy-to-do piece of magic, limited only by your imagination."
- Russ Stevens

"Once again, João demonstrates innovative thinking, taking an old premise and giving it a totally new coat of paint!"
- Eric Samuels

From the creative mind of João Miranda comes the Haunted Box, a very clever illusion with a storyline that is guaranteed to amaze your audience.

Do you believe in ghosts? You will after witnessing this...

The magician displays a simple wooden box, purchased several years ago from an antique shop. The magician explains that when he arrived home and opened the box, he noticed a faded picture of Harry Houdini, "The King of Cards." This picture wasn't in the box when he first purchased it. From time to time, the magician noticed the box would produce strange noises at night, a "slamming" sound, as if the spirit of Harry Houdini haunted it.

The magician demonstrates these strange occurrences under the most stringent of test conditions:

He opens the lid and removes a deck of cards and a standard Sharpie Pen (or pen of your choice).

A spectator is invited to select ANY card from the deck and sign its face. The card is then placed ANYWHERE in the deck by the spectator. This is a 100% FREE choice.

The spectator then mixes the cards and is asked to deal them, one by one, into the box. SUDDENLY the lid of the box SLAMS SHUT, as if telling the spectator to stop dealing. The magician asks the spectator to turn over the card they are holding in their hand... it is the signed card!

Haunted Box comes complete with everything necessary to get started performing this miracle right out of the box. This very special box allows you to concentrate on your presentation as it is 100% self-working. The Haunted Box is perfect for close-up, yet plays big enough for any stage! The Haunted Box is the PERFECT closer to your show.

EZB by Nicholas Lawrence

"Ingenious" -Chris Wiehl

"A box vanish YOU WILL USE" -Felix Bodden

"My favorite way to open a card set" -Nicholas Lawrence

As you rub your deck of cards, the box MELTS away visually, leaving you with nothing but the cards. It's a truly jaw-dropping illusion.

The gimmick is easy to use, and Nicholas' instructions will turn you into a master in no time. EZB is, as the name suggests EASY. Despite looking like there may be sleight-of-hand involved, It's surprisingly easy.

Kayfabe (4 DVD set) by Max Maven and Luis De Matos

BREAKING KAYFABE
'Kayfabe' means secret, and the latest DVD album from the Essential Magic Collection contains many. Some of these secrets have been kept by Max Maven for forty years. They are incredibly powerful professional routines with entertaining narratives, slick staging and a devious approach to method. Let's take a look at the contents of the 4 DVDs:

In COGNOMEN, Max divines the name of a celebrity thought-of by a spectator. We cannot stress how wonderful and practical this routine is. It requires the simplest of props. There is no pre-show. It can be played to the largest audience. And has all the drama and interaction that makes it an enthralling piece. A fabulously practical routine described in full detail.

SPY STORY, in which a spectator joins you in an adventure in espionage as a location, time, an amount of money and a shape are chosen. All four have been predicted in the mission instructions given to your spy. You'll love the finesse that Max brings to this item.

RORRIM is a stunning coincidence effect, a stage routine in which you become the spectator's doppelganger. Under test conditions, he chooses two cards and places each in one of his pockets. Despite the utter freedom of the procedure, you reveal not only the cards but also which pockets he placed them in.

ABOUT FACE is an applause-pulling psychometry routine in which you correctly guess which spectators made which drawings. A direct method, entertaining premise and smart staging have made it a strong item in Max's repertoire for many years.

Max Maven is renowned for impossible card locations. In Kayfabe he offers an array of methods in which cards merely thought-of are revealed. Mind-bending routines that will leave your audiences staggering. These include ZEN POKER, OUT OF MINE, TERRITORY, and SINGULARITY, in which one spectator reads the mind of another. And ROUND ABOUT, a triple card revelation that seems absolutely unfathomable.

POCKET NIGHTMARE and NIGHT FLIGHT are two riffs on an impossibility. A thought-of card disappears from the deck while it is in the spectator's hands and reappears in your pocket. Unbelievably direct. A secret Max has held back for forty years.

CAESAREAN SECTION is a miracle of a card stab. The spectator selects a card with the deck in her own hands. Loses it in the deck. Wraps the deck in a napkin and then hands the package to you. You stab a knife into the wrapped deck and right next to the freely selected and lost card.

SCRUTABILITY is Max Maven's take on Dai Vernon's The Card Trick That Cannot Be Explained. You place a prediction card face down on the table. The spectator shuffles and cuts a deck and selects a playing card. It matches your prediction. Max has devised a simple but methodical approach ensuring that your prediction, and there is only one prediction, is always correct. The system is taught in minute detail and the routine is repeated with different spectators and always the same outcome. It's a legendary effect made 100% practical.

A favorite feature of the Essential Magic Collection is the extensive interview with the performers. Here Max discusses his life, his career, and his writing. A new feature debuting in Kayfabe is a special presentation about the guest performer's views on magic. In The Fragility of Mystery, Max reveals not only why magic is important to life, but why it is essential. It's a philosophical journey of thought. Uplifting and inspiring.

We also have an awesome bonus. Through the kindness of Donna and Daniel Zuckerbrot we bring you Fabulous Monster, the acclaimed documentary about Max Maven. It's a revealing insight into the mind of the mystery artist featuring performance extracts from Max's one-man show and interviews with many leading experts on mentalism.

KEEPING KAYFABE

Finally, Max performs an effect he has used as an opening piece in 90% of his shows. You'll see it praised by his peers in Fabulous Monster and it's the one secret Max is still keeping. Enjoy.

The Note by Docc Hilford

Shocking, amazing, impossible to them. And, oh, so satisfying for you.

This will drive people insane! So fair, but it really makes no sense how it works. Especially when they think about what just happened. Actually, the more they think about it, the more they’re fooled!

Docc said it best: The beauty of this particular trick is that you don't even need to understand how it works to perform it like a pro. It’s the ultimate party mind-reading trick because you can quickly gather people, a few items, and perform an effect that has built-in drama and suspense. And, you can predict ANY outcome. The Note is impromptu, it demonstrates an awesome power, and it plays huge.

Impromptu after one-time setup.
Fools everyone.
Customizable.
Easy enough that you can really focus on your presentation.
Fun to do.
And a great way to engage a small group.

This is classic Docc Hilford. The Note takes a crazy cool method and turns it into a routine suitable for a professional presentation.
