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!

--

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.

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

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.
