CARD MAGIC STEPS TO THE STAGE
Books devoted to card magic number in the thousands, and those books have offered hundreds of thousands of card tricks, most of them designed for the close-up magician. But what about the magician who wishes to perform for larger audiences and higher fees? Card tricks suitable for parlor, platform and stage are far fewer, and finding them requires searching through the countless books in which they are scattered. Magicians wishing to perform with cards for more than a few people have never been given a compact and authoritative source of information and tricks—until now. Standup Card Magic is the first book devoted to teaching the tools, tricks and routines necessary for entertaining and amazing banquet, corporate, trade-show and theater audiences. All this is taught through the eyes and experience of a world-class magician and teacher. Roberto Giobbi shows you how to performstandup—and outstanding—card magic!

Roberto Giobbi is the award-winning and internationally respected author of Card College, The Art of Switching Decks, Secret Agenda, Confidences and other foundational works on card magic. In Standup Card Magic Giobbi has focused on the psychology, showmanship, spectator management, sleights, tricks and presentations designed for standup performance before larger audiences.

Giobbi begins by exploring what standup card magic is and how it differs from close-up magic. From there he teaches how to interact with a larger group of spectators, how to choose the right people to assist you, how to get them onto the stage and how to manage their behavior there. He then provides a meaty discussion of the right sleights to use in standup and stage performances. Following this are detailed explanations of many of his beststandup card routines.

All the material is taken from Giobbi’s professional repertoire, honed over many years of performances in front of international audiences. Card magicians who wish to perform powerful card magic for larger groups finally have a book that addresses their needs. Standup Card Magic not only provides the tools, magic and presentational guidelines, it also shows its readers how to develop further standup card magic, where to find it and how to bring cardtricks from the close-up table onto the stage. Standup Card Magic is a comprehensive study of professional-­caliber, standup card conjuring, and is designed to show you how to take your card magic to new levels and larger audiences.

Mentalism From Copenhagen by Dennis Hermanzo

Mentalism From Copenhagen by Dennis Hermanzo

Mentalism from Copenhagen – New Routines with Classic Ideas by Dennis Hermanzo. This is a book several years in the making, and one we are very excited about at Stevens Magic. As many of you know, we are known for Mentalism. We received an advance copy of this book from Dennis, and it was thoroughly vetted, reviewed by several well-known luminaries in the industry. The concepts are clear, concise and easy to execute. If I have to make an analogy, in terms of style and format, it is very similar to the hugely successful Luca Volpe – Psychic Show Book . In the end it is book that we are very proud to have bear the Stevens Publishing Name and is our first project of 2016.

Dennis Hermanzo - Mentalism From Copenhagen

If you are not familiar with Dennis, do not let this deter you. Dennis is a very well studied, and honed performer. In his own words:“There are 19 effects in the book! (197 pages) Every effect in this book has been performed many times in real situations, except one! Using classic principles is why they work. I have learned from the best, Bob Cassidy, Richard Osterlind and Banachek. Their work inspired my life and set a blueprint for my years in this wonderful world of Mentalism.” – Dennis Hermanzo.

Everything in this book is based on classic principles!

No Effects Rely on Pre-Show Work!

No Effects Rely on Electronics!

Testimonials:

“Mr. Dennis Hermanzo’s book really surprised me. I was very happy to see his use of traditional methods in very straight-forward effects that are really worth doing! Dennis explains each routine in nice and direct terms using only the minimal amount of suggested patter sot hat you can get straight to it and learn the material! As a person who has performed most of my life, I like to think I can recognize good work – this is “good work!” You won’t go wrong with this book. It is packed with good usable stage mentalism.” – Richard Osterlind.

“Dennis has done an excellent job selecting some of the best mentalism. Even better he serves them up in an easy digestible manner allowing one to go from reading to performance in record time.” – Neal Scryer

“Very practical effects that I loved. A nice change to find a book filled with real world routines rather than pipe dreams.” – Paul Romhany

“I like your approach, nice and direct. This book is the proof that classics can be absolutely modern if used in the right way.” Luca Volpe

“Dennis Hermanzo has for years been a secret treasure in Denmark. Direct, not complicated, entertaining mentalism-Scandinavian style” – Steen Pegani

The power of the effects lies in the presentations. Simple but POWERFUL!

Lightning by Peter the Adequate presented by Cody Fisher

This routine is straight out of Peter's (and Cody's) corporate comedy act. The Lightning Wrist Tie escape is Peter The Adequate's unique version of the wrist tie. This routine is 10 solid minutes with nothing more than a piece of rope and two audience volunteers. The routine is jammed packed with comedy, audience participation, fits in your pocket, and can play for thousands!

On this DVD Peter will share every single detail about his routine. It includes a live performance by Peter The Adequate, interview with Cody Fisher, step-by-step teaching guide, and years of advice and performance tips. This is NOT your standard "in and out" comedy wrist tie. Peter's unique version is a REAL ESCAPE!

BONUS PDF: Cody Fisher's Lightning Wrist Tie / Stand Up Card To Wallet

As an added bonus a very special PDF is included with the DVD. Cody has combined the Lightning Wrist Tie with his never before published Stand-Up Card To Wallet routine. The PDF includes Cody's full routine including word-for-word comedy script, stage cues, music cues, and variations for performing this for family shows, corporate events, and even comedy clubs! If you liked Cody's previous stand up releases, you are going to LOVE this!

SPIT by Scott Creasey

For the first time in this 15 min video (yep 15 min it's that easy) Scott reveals the business card peek he has been using in his close up mentalism performances for many years.

No manufacturing or craft skills required, no peek wallets, no business card cases, no envelopes, no special pens or any other paraphernalia, just your business cards and a pen.

One totally impromptu method, one requiring a one off 30 second set up and three variations to suit all styles.

Drop half a dozen of your own business cards in your pocket along with a pen and you are all set to perform drawing duplications, reveal words, names, PIN numbers, perform remote viewing or impress with your x-ray vision.

"I actually laughed out loud when I got to the good part in the video. Fantastic technique and that impromptu version cleans up very nicely... So... What's next?"
- David Dodds

"Scott, whenever you release something new just charge my card and send me the download link. Thanks!"
- John Cesta

"Great thinking! As usual. Another useful thing to know so can have in your arsenal when you need it and, of course, you can easily do a 3 phase routine like a Mental Epic with no force and knowing each thought before you even start, I can also see this being good for a close up Magic Square."
- Greg Arce

"S.P.I.T is another brilliant release by Scott Creasey. What you learn is how to do a full business card peek, with either zero preparation for version 1, or 10 seconds of preparation for version 2. A perfect utility tool that can be applied to so many different effects. No wallets, no business card cases, no envelopes, and no sleights! As with everything I've bought from Scott, S.P.I.T is well worth the money."
- Stunninger

"I find myself looking forward to Scott Creasey's releases EVERY TIME! I just wanted to add that I have never been let down by anything I've bought from Creasey, and I think in this day and age, that REALLY says something."
- Race Blakhart

5221 by Wayne Fox

This really is an incredible effect that knocks your audience for six!

The effect is simple and breathtaking. You ribbon spread or fan the deck and invite your spectators to think of one card.

You place the deck on the table and they name their card.

You then dead cut to the card perfectly!!!!

In a follow up, the spectator can even cut to their own thought of card.

There is no wonder that Wayne Fox completely sold out of 5221 (Fifty Two To One) at the Blackpool convention.

iFlight by Bill Perkins

A borrowed ring appears LINKED ONTO YOUR HEADPHONES that are wrapped around your phone... in your back pocket! Sleek, modern, powerful, and memorable.

iFlight is an update for the classic "Ring Flight" effect, in which you cause a borrowed ring to reappear somewhere unexpected. Rather than use a leather key wallet (which are rarely seen these days), creator Bill Perkins has devised a simple yet stunning solution to load a borrowed ring onto the middle of your headphones, which are wrapped around your mobile phone. Watch the trailer for an accurate depiction of how great this looks in real time.

It's easy to do and comes with a gimmicked marker that facilitates everything. Use YOUR phone, YOUR earbuds, and anyone's ring. No alterations to your clothing is necessary, and once you have this special gimmick, the routine is impromptu and easy to perform.

No reels, or chance of losing the spectator's ring
Very easy to do
Use any phone and headphones
Clever new method leaves the ring ACTUALLY wrapped onto your headphones
What you get:
A special gimmick which allows you to perform the routine
Online instruction which teaches everything in detail
