Gun Control by Chris Mayhew


We invited Chris Mayhew to Hawaii to show us a control with real fire-power.

4 cards are cleanly placed into different parts of the deck. No optical illusions, this really happens.

In the impossibly fair action of giving the deck a riffle shuffle, all 4 cards are controlled to the top of the pack.

We wish we could jazz it up with adjectives and explosions, but in reality it's that simple and clean.

No fakery, no gimmicks... just sleight of hand at it's purest.

After watching Gun Control you'll be fully locked and loaded with one of the deadliest weapons in card magic.

Pull the trigger.

Get Gun Control TODAY.

“Do you want to learn powerful magic? John can teach you techniques that will change the way

be of interest to anyone looking for practical real world magic." - Danny Archer

Symphony of the Bands by Joe Rindfleisch


Symphony of the bands combines new moves from the master of rubber band magic Joe Rindfleisch.

Phase after phase of incredible impossible links that happen at your finger tips.

First you link two bands together then drop one band causing it to visually link with the other. Then an ultra clean display of two rubber bands dangling from your finger tips causes the bands to link by just giving them a pull. Pull it once more and the bands unlink.

Each phase extremely visual without lots of movement of the hands. It really looks like you are linking and unlinking the bands causing solid to pass through solid with ease.

Ultimate Illusion Collection The Vault Edition Vol 1 by J C


PDF download

Introducing the ultimate collection of professional illusions for the modern performer!

I’m really proud of this collection of work that has been 100% reformatted and updated into a two-volume set. It is a definitive tome of my contributions to illusion literature that started with my first published book in 2004.

The original edition of this book was just a compilation of my professional illusion book trilogy, “Illusionary Departures”, “Equilateral” and “Urban illusions”. However, this edition, entitled “The Vault Edition”, contains the latest versions of my entire collection of illusions as well as brand new ones! All the illusions have been sorted and divided into nine categories, classified according to illusion effect & genre.

In addition, all the stage acts & illusions detailed in my book “Illusionism” are included in this collection. These are specialty illusions designed with mentalism plots. “Illusionism” is only available as a download from Lybrary.com and has never been released before in print.

As a bonus, the method of my first mega illusion, “The Impossible Teleportation” is also outlined at the end of the book along with a discussion on creating a mega stunt.

All this translates to almost seventy professional illusions with full building plans, detailed fabrication instructions, material lists, performance and presentation notes. The book was so big that it had to be divided into two volumes!

Two Volume Book Set. Total of 425 pages. Wire Spiral Bound.

Almost 70 illusions are detailed in the 9 categories including:

Everlasting Sponge Balls by Eric Leclerc


Sponges from the Mouth is the rare routine that plays as well for adults as it does for kids, is EXTREMELY deceptive yet easy to do, packs in your pockets yet can entertain 500 people, and can be learned and mastered before your very next show. This is Everlasting Sponge Balls.

Created by Eric Leclerc, Canada's two-time magic champion and host on National Geographic's Brain Games, this is a wonderful routine ready to be plugged into your children's show. Eric's use of the Finger Pointer Wand (which comes with the trick) adds to the deception and the fun! Watch the video! It's filmed in front of a live audience so you can see the tremendous impact of this routine.

Included:

A 14" Finger Pointer Wand -- a hilarious prop with so many possibilities
Three 2" red sponge balls
One 2" green sponge ball
One 2" black sponge ball
Josh Jay's alternative finale in which a ball appears from a spectator's mouth
The complete video performance and detailed video explanation including the secret of how he initially loads the balls into his mouth.
Included is a detailed routine with all the components to create your own routine, or use the suggested routine that Eric performs! If you're looking for a routine that you can perform to music that features you alone on stage, a routine in which your props "get a bit out of control" resulting in magical hilarity, check out Everlasting Sponge Balls.

Snag by Ben Howard


Ring magic has never been this intimate and powerful!

A presentation is always more captivating when the audience is involved. Many performers will ask spectators to sign a card, or put their hands together, but this trick will utilize one of the most sentimental pieces of jewelry people tend to wear. A ring!

SansMinds is proud to introduce Snag. An illusion from the mind of a rising star in the industry, Ben Howard.

With this trick, you can borrow a ring from any unsuspecting passerby, make it vanish right in front of them, only to have it reappear, linked to your necklace! Making anything vanish and reappear is already a great trick in itself. Doing it with an item as personal as a ring? Amazing!

What's in the Box?

1 Snag Instructional DVD
1 Chain Necklace
1 Gimmick Package

Shifting by Matt Mello


From the introduction by Matt Mello:

"...Shifting explores a technique to get inside of a person’s mind and direct their thoughts. To say that it’s a psychological force would be a poor description, though it can be used in that way. It can also be used tolearn what month, color, number, or letter a spectator may think of; and there are certainly other applications.

The Shifting procedure is very direct, and it’s seemingly out of the performer’s control. It appears to be nothing more than a quick mental exercise, exploring their thought processes in a simplistic way. At the end, we can then reveal one or two thoughts without any apparent means of communication between us.

The method behind this is entirely psychological in nature..."
