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. A signed card that appears inside an object that has been in full view the whole time has delighted audiences for decades. Many times these objects are props that you don't see every day, and can look suspicious.

In his debut release with Murphy's Magic, Takel has brought us Burn Notice. 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. Place the matchbox in their hand and watch their eyes light up in disbelief as their card vanishes from the deck, only to be seen again when you slowly open the matchbox to reveal their signed card inside.

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.

What you'll get:

- Burn Notice gimmick
- Online video instructions covering performance, handling, maintenance and tips
- Gimmick repair materials

What you'll learn:

- The basic signed card to impossible location routine
- Plus additional ideas and handlings that are not only limited to playing cards but money, predictions, business cards etc.
- Learn how to customize and/or repair your Burn Notice gimmick
- Simple, effective and easy version of the Mercury Card Fold

This could be the end of you quest for the best Mystery Box ever, so get Burn Notice today!

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.

Mental Bending by Matt Mello


Effect:

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"
- Matt Johnson

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

“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

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
