Alcardmy by Mike Liu & Vortex Magic


ALCARDMY by Mike Liu and VORTEX MAGIC

Imagine being able to create an illusion that looks like Special FX but being able to do it LIVE. A three phase routine where a card VISUALLY MORPHS into a signed playing card.

From his working repertoire Mike Liu shares his highly visual morph of a playing card into a signed playing card. Mike has performed this routine under test conditions from street performances to strolling and close-up corporate work. It has become his signature routine that not only fools lay people but has fooled many a knowledgeable magician.

No pipe-dreams - this is audience tested over many years to get maximum impact. A very visual and original card change.

This very visual morph happens up-close using a very clever gimmick that does all the work for you. During the morph the spectators see the card actually smudge and then morph into the card they signed moments before.

Each gimmick is custom made and does most of the work for you.

EFFECT: A three phase card morph routine where a card is selected from a RED back deck and signed on the face. It is then lost in the deck. The performer then shows the face card of the deck which starts to SMUDGE as he waves his hand then visibly morphs it into the signed card, which the spectator then turns over to now discover their card has a BLUE back. The card is given away as a souvenir.

Who is he?
Brought up in south-western France, Xavier Mortimer packed up his suitcase to travel the world while creating shows that blend magic, circus acts, music and comedy.

He studied at the Music and Dance Conservatory of La Rochelle, as well as the Desmond Jones Acting School in London and the Jacques Lecoq Acting School in Paris.  At the age of 15, he created his first show, a combination of magic, mime and comedy. Thereafter, he won several prizes for Magic including 1st place at the Albano International Congress in Italy and Gold Star at the L’Eau d’Olle magic festival in France.

A truly complete performer, he is the recipient of several more international prizes for Magic regarding his shows. He has achieved public recognition with his show L’Ombre Orchestre (The Shadow Orchestra) created in Avignon (France) in 2006, and subsequently performed in Paris and worldwide more than 1000 times.

Xavier Mortimer is both the creator of and performer in visual shows that he presents internationally. What’s more, he not only composes the music for his own shows, but for other shows, as well. In 2012, he created the character Sneaky for the newest Cirque du Soleil’s show, ONE, which is currently being performed in Las Vegas.

Between 2013 and 2015, while performing in Vegas, Xavier has been a guest on mainstream TV shows all around the world and he is about to release his new magic show in 2016 in LAS VEGAS.

Steve Cook has created a super slick ESP prediction. This awesome effect will fit neatly in your wallet and will fry any spectator!

Imagine placing a single envelope onto the table along with six colored ESP cards. Your spectator is asked to roll an imaginary die, they can roll it as many times as they like, change the number as many times as they like and yet the ESP symbol related to the number will match your prediction in the envelope 100%.

Symbol feels ultra-fair and is easy to do (absolutely no funny moves or sleight of hand required).

Everything you need to perform Symbol is contained in the pack including a full in depth training DVD with additional tips and handling by Peter Nardi

MINI BY PERSEUS ARKOMANIS


Mini me
A selection is pinned to the table under a snap of your finger, visibly shrinking down into a mini card as it hits the surface.

Ridiculously easy to do. You'll be performing this INSTANTLY.

Alice
As a selection tumbles down the rabbit hole, landing in the spectators hand it turns into a mini, almost-cartoon-like version of itself.

Fast, visual and memorable.

RLSE
An inspiring presentation about Kings sees 4 mini Kings expand into 4, full bodied, poker size cards.

Half right
Spectators love nothing more than for a trick to go wrong. Magic isn't real and they can return to their skepticism.

BUT wait, you tear the 10 to make it a 5. Then the half card morphs into their selection. Their belief in magic is restored.

Torn
Math effects are boring. However, in Torn, you actually get a lesson in subtraction when you see a big 6 visibly tear into 2 mini cards. A 4 & 2.

Goblins or Trolls
Magic is all about the impossible, and Mini sandwich is a WTF moment.

This is one of those effects where you spectator is going to sit there silent trying to work out how you pulled a normal card from in-between two mini cards.

"IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIDING BETWEEN THEM."


Format : Download/Stream
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: 34 Minutes
Additional Notes: You will need a mini deck to perform these effects. Preferably one that matches your normal sized deck. You can buy them in our playing card section.

Esprit 2.0 by Jean Pierre Vallarino


An out of bounds trick that won't be easily forgotten and will run from mouth to ear, building your magician or mentalist reputation!

A wallet containing a prediction is handed to a spectator. At this very precise moment there is absolutely no possibility of touching or even changing this prediction.

The spectator is asked to think of the name of any person he wants and to MENTALLY SPELL this name while counting cards from a deck one at a time on the table. The last card will be the last letter of the name thought by the spectator. The selected card is unknown by the spectator and the mentalist.

This card has REALLY BEEN SELECTED BY PURE CHANCE and amazingly... it matches the predicted card.

Spread the cards face up... now imagine the reaction of your audience when you flip the rest of the cards over and spread the cards our on the table. They discover it is just an ordinary deck and will be able to examine the cards. THE ONLY SELECTED CARD MATCHES THE ONLY CARD LEFT ON THE TABLE!

A second unknown routine is included in this DVD: a number is asked to be given from 1 to 52... and matches the prediction! No forcing whatsoever; all cards are left for examination and can be borrowed.

Vanishing Ring by SansMinds


"I'm trying to hold back my excitement a little here but this thing looks like TV magic and you do none of the work to make it vanish. Let's just say this is now in my live show."

The Vanishing Ring

As a performer, we are always searching for the right tool to create real miracles. A magical effect that can mystify and enchant the audience.

What if you can vanish a borrowed ring, without ever touching it or even going near the spectator?

Imagine this, your spectator takes the ring off her own finger, she puts the ring into the box herself, touches it to make sure that everything is real, and closes the box. And that's it. She opens the ring box again, and the ring is already gone. Wherever and however you make her ring reappear, is up to your own imagination.

Tarbell 50: Novelty Rising Cards


Causing a chosen card to mysteriously rise from the pack has fascinated magicians and captivated audiences for centuries. It's a time-tested combination of card revelation and unexpected animation.

In Lesson 27, you learned a number of great methods to make selected cards rise out of the deck on your command. Now, Dan expands upon those original concepts with more challenging constraints, diverse methods, and fascinating presentations. He's even included a brand new method, revealed here for the first time.

First, cards trapped in an envelope, isolated upon an artist's easel, still find a way to rise. And, you'll learn how to make the updated design for the easel.

Next, you'll learn a simple, self-contained version of rising cards from envelope, and a neat variation with a book that Dan has made look more innocent than ever. Plus, you'll even discover a completely impromptu version that can be done with any book and any unprepared deck of cards.

Then, you'll learn a full routine where a fedora is the star. A card appears in its headband, another rises while covered and trapped, a third slices its way right through the top of the hat, and the last one crawls out of the mess of cards in full view of the delighted audience.

And finally, Dan dresses up a charming idea of Tarbell's with a haunted dollhouse, by adding a bit of spooky music an unexpected apparition.

This lesson is a wonderful example of creativity which proves you don't have to settle for the standard approach, and small changes make a big difference.
