Manos LIVE ACT (Penguin LIVE)

"Manos is quickly emerging as one of mentalism's best kept secrets. His thinking is fresh, his material is powerful and his routines are always refined, ensuring that each and every piece he creates is a true worker. I can't recommend him or his material highly enough!"- Michael Murray

"I feel fortunate to call Manos a close friend. Throughout our many interactions over the years I've come to appreciate that he is, first and foremost, a wonderful human being. Among many other commendable qualities, he is thoughtful, generous, and sincere. Those same attributes make him a formidable performer and creator. His lecture will no doubt reveal the immense level of thought that he puts into every routine. It will be a privilege to see him perform effects that he's held close to his chest for many years. And his passion for the art will be very apparent. His books V, V2, and UnVeil contain some of the best thinking that contemporary Mentalism has to offer and this lecture will continue that trend with hard-hitting, practical, and entertaining material that you'll want to study and add to your repertoire. If you've not yet been exposed to this man's mind then buckle up and take notes!"- Drew Backenstoss

"Manos is a multifaceted master of logic and presentation. His material is a pure napalm- he does all the hard work for you so that what you end up with is simple to perform while remaining enthralling to your audience. A unique entertainer and creator in every sense of the word."- Atlas Brookings

A Lousa by Alejandro Muniz

A great stand up and mentalism magic effect. Imagine the following. The magician holds a slate that was examined by a spectator. He writes a prediction on it. The spectator makes a free choice of, for instance, a country, a celebrity or an animal. THERE ARE NO FORCES. The choice is completely free. Finally, the prediction matches exactly. You can use any group of words. It is totally customizable. It works great for parlor magic or for corporate shows. You could use brand names, for example. It is a brand new concept created by Alejandro Muniz, FLASOMA 2017 Grand Prix (Latin American FISM). A Lousa was completely sold out at the last magic convention in Argentina (2018).

The Selfie Card Trick by Lior Manor

The One Armed Bandit by Blaise Serra

A devious one-handed palm… From the middle of the deck.


“Insanely clever...”
- Shin Lim,  of America's Got Talent


Blaise Serra is the creator of 'The One Armed Bandit'. One hell of a move where the spectator FREELY chooses a card, and with minimal movements, you’re able to palm the selection from the middle of the deck.

What you do next is up to you.

The possibilities: … Endless

Sleight-of-hand seems impossible when the dirty hand is also the one holding the deck. Blaise teaches you that it's not.

YOU WILL LEARN


• One Handed Side-Steal to Classic Palm

• One Handed Control to Top or Bottom of deck

• Side-Steal to Bottom Palm (Two Handed Variation)


Double Jeopardy:
A quick routine for two spectators where the selections appear alone in the magician’s hand before the audience members realize the trick has even begun.

The One Armed Bandit:
The routine which gave this project its name, The One Armed Bandit is a streamlined card-to-pocket with the card selected behind the magician’s back. The spectators can watch the magician’s hands closely the entire time- they won’t spot A THING.

The Hamburglar:
The Hamburglar introduces an original one-handed method for sandwich routines. This trick also showcases this utility move’s unique ability to control any selection not only to the Top or Bottom, but also to any location within the deck.

INSTACAAN:
A new take on the classic “Card At Any Number” plot, INSTACAAN is an impromptu routine during which a card is fairly selected and instantly transported to anywhere in the deck that the spectator desires. No stack or memorization required, just pure sleight of hand that flies by anyone, no matter how closely they are burning the magician’s hands.

Integrate this move into any palming techniques you already do!

Many variations of this utility move are also taught in detail, making this a welcome addition to any card magician’s repertoire. Prefer not to classic palm cards? No problem. With The One Armed Bandit you will also learn how to load the card with one hand from the center into any desired palming position, such as: tenkai palm, longitudinal palm, gambler’s flat palm, and much more.

Blaise takes you through the move with expert tuition so you can perform this move with silky smooth accuracy.

Become The Bandit.

Paul Draper Penguin Live Act

Rose 3 by Fraser Parker

*** The following effect is taken from THE BOOK OF THE FALLEN and will be sent in a digital form for free to all customers of the afore mentioned limited book ***

Fraser has done it again!

Here's a great effect carrying the philosophy behind all of the work found in his limited release, THE BOOK OF THE FALLEN. He has streamlined one of his trademark pieces, ROSE, making this modern approach to the prop-less name guess even quicker and easier to perform.

It takes literally a few seconds to get all of the information you need to confidently guess a thought-of name, star sign, drawing or word from your spectator, entirely prop-less.

They think of a positive and negative characteristic or trait surrounding the life of the person they are thinking of. Then, after delivering a short reading, the performer is able to instantly nail the name of the person they are thinking of.

What is great about this new method is it allows you to get as many letters of the thought-of name or word as you need to be able to successfully guess it.

Fraser says this is something he feels needs to be shared with a much wider audience, and this is the reason he has allowed this item to appear outside of his otherwise exclusive release. He wishes to help push the art form forward with his thinking and therefore needs to every now and then put his ideas out to a larger audience. Of course, if you are new to Fraser's thinking, this will give you a small taste as to the other wonders that are locked away inside his more limited work.

See for yourself just how much Fraser's work has been refined and streamlined to the point where there is very little work needing to be done to create absolutely stunning demonstrations of mind reading that not only look but also feel REAL to your audience members.

THIS IS different from what you may expect, in terms of method. Fraser is on the cutting edge of the modern approach to prop-less mentalism.

He is constantly shocking his friends and other pro's with his ability to push the envelope further and further with each release, refining his ideas to the point where all that is left is effect and method seamlessly interwoven in such a simple and beautiful way, it looks real!
