Never Seen by JP Vallarino (http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/)

Using a borrowed deck the spectator freely chooses a card, signs it, puts it back in the deck and mixes the deck. Then he places the deck inside his own pocket. This gives the magician any number from 1 to 52 to choose from.

The spectator's choice is absolutely free.

The magician now slides his hand into the spectator's pocket and withdraws the signed card that had been lost in the deck!

Bonus:

A brand new version of "Knife Through Card" that can be performed with the same gimmick!

Needs no technique
Gimmick included
You will need a standard Bicycle deck (not included)

Darkslide by Chris Ramsay(http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/)

Chris Ramsay's latest heart-stopper has been flooring spectators with an incredibly open and fair card reversal. His newest creation, Darkslide, gives you the ability to visually reverse the spectator's selection, in an open display of a fully fanned deck, right in front of their eyes, with nothing more than the flick of your finger. Most card reversals involve some sort of knuckle busting move, however Darkslide takes away all the hard work and allows you to perform such a feat with a simple gesture.

The plot is simple and powerful. They select their card, it's placed into a fanned deck, with a quick drag of your finger, they see their card visually reverse itself.

- Included gimmick resets in seconds
- Super easy to learn & perform
- Simple online video instructions included

The Milky Way by Devin Knight(http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/)

An extremely rare and little-known U. F. Grant manuscript that is nearly impossible to find nowadays. Devin Knight has taken the original text, revised it and updated it with various annotations for today's performers. He explains and deals with issues that Grant failed to mention in the original release.

This eBook teaches you three great U. F. Grant tricks with a glass of milk! The methods are typical of Grant's thinking.


1 - Here & There: A homing milk effect. Show a glass of real milk, cover it with a paper tube. Pour the milk back into a pitcher. When the tube is removed, the glass is full of milk again.

2 - A Boy & Glass of Milk: A glass of COLD milk is shown and a boy from the audience comes forth and drinks it with a straw. The milk is then pumped from his elbow back into the glass. A poor man's version of the comedy funnel trick, without having to own the special funnel.

3 - Triple Change: A banner effect that is great for educational school shows. A glass of milk is poured out and changes to a glass of water, which in turn changes to a glass of cherry soda. Finally, the cherry soda changes back into milk. Includes nutritional patter by Devin Knight for use in school shows. No dangerous chemicals are used to effect the changes.

All of these effects are easy to do. Complete detail instructions explain how all three are done. Here are three new effects you can add to your shows for an extremely low cost. These are effects not seen nowadays.

A must-read for U. F. Grant fans, includes a scan of the original ad for the manuscript. An ad seldom seen and a must see for magic history buffs.

Tarbell 56: Silken Trickery(http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/)

Time for another lesson filled with the colorful wonder of silks! All the routines have been brought up to date for a modern audience!

This lesson begins with a big presentation of a long overlooked method for the Twentieth Century Silks using ungimmicked handkerchiefs.

Then, the spectator becomes the star of the show, performing a funny and amazing version of the silk trick, fooling everyone... including himself.

And, you'll learn how to use a few handkerchiefs to illustrate the strange nature of microphysics... specifically quantum entanglement. It's both entertaining and educational.

Then, thinking way outside the box, you are treated to a brand new emcee bit that's fast, funny, and physically impossible.

You'll also learn a charming routine with a lively little handkerchief who appears at your fingertips, then performs some clever contortions and odd acrobatics.

And you'll learn a handy impromptu method for silk through mic stand that's real impressive with no reel, for real.

And, you'll see how a quick fashion lesson for two helpers turns a longtime standard into a surprisingly fresh new favorite that makes everybody look good.

And finally, Harlan takes the remaining few tricks, stirs in his ideas, add a dash of cash, and create a killer routine that's all about the green.

So, if you thought you'd seen it all, get ready to be pleasantly surprised by these revised, updated, and modernized silk tricks.

Atlas Brookings - The Intrepid Rogues Manual of Deception(http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/)

http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/atlas-brookings-the-intrepid-rogues-manual-of-deception_p0064.html

The Intrepid Rogue's Manual of Deception is a new book by performing mentalist Atlas Brookings and represents his first major work since Train Tracking.
The Manual of Deception is 224 pages long and comprises 8 essays, one switch technique, and 14 effects. While he is known for his propless work, the majority of the material within encompasses some of his work with props. The Hollywood Squares prop also ships with the book.
A brief outline of the contents is included below:


* You'll Never Find a More Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy...
This essay asks you to take a closer look at your goals within mentalism, encouraging you to use your analytical skills to determine who is best positioned to help you to achieve those goals as you select the path you'd like to follow. It offers a system for cutting through the hype and nonsense that so often surrounds creators and releases and outlines what I think are the four archetypes that we most often see within this subculture.

* Quinnfluence
A propless effect that can be used with a single participant or a crowd of hundreds, people are asked to think of random bits of information which are subsequently easily revealed. This can be played either as mind reading or influence and is a powerful technique that is always available to you.

* Gesticulate
An incredibly simple and deceptive, self-contained one handed billet switch in which the hand not in use never leaves the pocket.

* The Importance of Being Earnest...
An essay that asks you why you are drawn to mentalism and examines the implications for success that your answer may have.

* The Lexi-Con
A compelling three phase routine in which three words are freely chosen by a participant, two from a list and the third an entirely free choice - yet their words are the only words spelled out in a deck of alphabet cards.

* The Subtle Swindle
Formerly the Subtle Hustle (I was informed that this name was already in use elsewhere). An easy and propless means of winning or losing (your choice) at Rock, Paper, Scissors.

* The Untangled Web...
An essay that encourages the performer to consider how their performance is perceived by the audience, asking whether it is best to simplify and streamline presentations, and how to approach such a problem.

* High Five
An example of the principles above put into practice, High Five is a close up effect using five numbered business cards. The participant selects a card at random for both the performer and themselves, and their choices are predicted, as is the five digit number that they create.

* Imbalanced
An impromptu and propless murder mystery game in which the performer becomes a human lie detector and hunts the elusive killer.

* Hollywood Squares
A wonderful routine that involves an apparently innocent, yet gimmicked business card (supplied with the book) and which allows the performer to determine what different celebrities up to three participants choose to think of.

* A Head Bloodied but Unbowed...
An essay that emphasizes the importance of developing and improving problem solving skills, complete with an example from my personal working repertoire that allows dual reality to be performed in audiences of any size, including those that know one another well and corporate audiences - all without any of the drawbacks typically associated with the method.

* Ariadne's Thread
A hands off effect in which the performer gets the participant to randomly think of a number, deal out playing cards onto the table, remember the card at their number, and reveal that card with ease.

* Market Traitor
A game is played revolving around honesty and Wall Street. Envelopes containing stock picks made by anonymous 'whistleblowers' are laid down before four participants who are then given a free choice of stocks to invest in. After three days of trading, the proceedings are called to a halt as the Securities and Exchance Commission (or FCO in the UK) arrests all four participants for insider trading, and the prediction envelopes are opened, proving that in each case the anonymous whistleblower's information was correct.

* Wasting Time is Only Robbing Oneself...
An essay that examines the formula for finding the most direct route to accomplishing your effects, both in script and actions, and whose intended aim is to help you remove dead time from your show, allowing you to establish and keep the pace moving.

* Don't Make a Mess of Your Message...
An essay dealing with the benefits of learning to adapt a presentation to be able to memorably convey a bespoke message.

* Choicest
Contained within the above essay, the workings of this Blackpool effect (filmed back in 2014) are explained along with the history and reasons behind embedding a message into an effect.

* White Out
A pseudo hypnosis effect in which a participant , apparently in a trance state, is able to select the match to a playing card chosen by another despite nobody - including the performer - knowing the identity of the card. Moreover, when shown the faces of the rest of the deck, they are blank to this participant despite them being clearly visible to the audience.

* It's Still Snowing
A single person version of the above effect, with an influence theme and a prediction tabled before the card is even selected - and the participant selects from a face up fanned pack in which each card is demonstrably different.

* CloudNine
A casual, conversational personality reading that ends with the performer revealing the day, month, and year of the participant's birth - despite apparently none of this information being communicated to the performer. The most common feedback I hear about this effect is that it is better than Isabella's Star, which is no small compliment indeed.

* What Will Your Verse Be...
An essay that deals with what is, in my opinion, the right way and the wrong way to contribute your ideas to the mentalism community, along with a marketing guideline for those seeking to establish and manage their brand.

* The Intrepid League of Super Villainy
A companion to my "think of a super hero" plot, along with the two person presentation that makes this such an entertaining piece for the set of friends you are working with.

* One in the Chamber
An incredibly simple billet technique that can be applied to nearly any billet routine, a load, switch, and peek that is invisible in which you hands are shown clean throughout and you never go to your pockets. This is my go to move when performing a Q and A routine.

* It's a Traaaaaaaaaaap!!
A final word of advice to those who would like to chase their dreams and live life on their own terms. It is entirely possible, but you HAVE to know this one thing - and you have to take it to heart.

Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser By Raj Madhok(http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/)

We’ve known Raj Madhok since before the invention of Vanishing Inc. He has been a friend, trusted editor, and “title-giver” for many of our projects. Over the past three decades he has contributed effects to most of the magic journals of our time. A few years ago we asked if he would produce a booklet of his mentalism.

Well, that time has come.

Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser is a 54 page, soft cover book containing nine of his favorite effects. Most are close-up and impromptu, but can play bigger - including an intriguing chair test for the stage, but it can also be done close-up!

Imagine being able to tell someone their birthday without writing anything down or seemingly asking any questions. You’ll also learn how to divine the best friend of an audience member, alter someone’s sense of touch, subliminally influence a choice of objects, and describe a book and a specific word created only in someone’s mind! A handful of invisible M&Ms and two baffling card effects round out this collection that uses subtleties rather than sleights.

We’re delighted to have this as an exclusive release from Vanishing Inc.


Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser is overflowing with innovative mysteries. You'll get more than your money's worth simply by reading N' Synch 3.0 or Fossa Nature. A treat.
Michael Weber
Raj, your innovative thinking always sets my mind afire. Any mentalist, or mystery performer , should run to acquire this mini tome. Not dusty ideas from the past, you'll never put it up for auction.
 Marc Salem
I’ve always appreciated Raj’s warm, approachable demeanor and this is reflected in his magic and mentalism. When he performs, you’re not always sure when he's started. The experience is more conversational and organic than expected, and through the use of everyday objects, you don’t feel you’re being ’showed a trick’. Even familiar themes, once updated with his tweaks and handlings, feel new again (The Invisible Book Test). I’ll be using some of these routines immediately.
Larry Fong
I really enjoyed reading Raj's book. So many clever and thought-provoking ideas!
Eugene Burger
One thing that sets Raj’s work apart from many, is his ability to weave beautiful presentations into his effects.
John Carey
Having seen all of these effects over the last few months, I can assure you of their spectacularity!
Greg Wilson
Brilliant stuff. Raj has a gift for devising mentalism that is modern, meaningful and mind-blowing! Every routine is stellar.
John Guastaferro
The first time I met Raj, he showed fooled me badly with the effects now described in this volume. His mentalism is impromptu, engaging, and he is a master at creating a casual bubble of alternative reality in which the audience can share a magical moment with him. I love his style.
Vincent Hedan
Mysteries that will melt your brain. No worries. The doctor is in!
John Bannon
The nine, diverse, compact presentations in this book show how to make the curious and mysterious extraordinary and memorable. The properties used are pocket-sized and commonplace. More tellingly, what interactively happens when they merge with nearby minds is provably remarkable.
Jon Racherbaumer

Uno by Darryl Davis and Daryl Williams(http://www.kevinmagicshop.com/)

Some effects have a fun quality about them, where the actions of the trick are just weird enough, just unexpected enough, to intrigue everyone watching. "Uno" is just this type of card trick.

It happens like this: A thoroughly shuffled deck is eliminated down to just a few cards. Three spectators help create three random numbers. You, the magician, prove that you know the EXACT total determined by the spectators, and you even predict which cards each spectator selected. To understand how impossibly fair this is, you absolutely must watch the trailer above.

Not a single sleight is needed in this effect, and the 'Other Brothers' teach you how to perform every facet of "Uno" in just the right amount of detail.

The 'Other Brothers' have a unique style which we have fallen in love with. Their effects are designed to entertain the audiences that you, and we, perform for on a day to day basis. Their thinking is clever, and novel and we know that you are going to love "Uno."

Running Time: 23 mins, 30 seconds
