LATEST UPDATE ON “SHOE BUSINESS”
One of the most popular effects in magic should be back in stock at the middle of the week. That is the latest word from Puck and Scott Alexander. I will send them out to those who have them on backorder as soon as they arrive. If you haven’t ordered this item yet, you might want to consider getting it before this second shipment also sells out.

shoe business.1 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  SHOE BUSINESS by Scott Alexander and Puck-$85.00
From Scott Alexander and Puck comes this terrific comedy routine that is totally practical and useable under almost any and all conditions. If you are a stand up performer, this is an absolute must have routine for your show. I will NOT explain all the details of this routine as I do not want magicians using this routine without the creators getting compensated for theor thought and hard work. I can only say…TRUST ME! You WILL use this routine.
The effect is our take on the “magician in trouble” and is a self working, out of the box effect that plays big on laughs and equally strong in the magic department. If you’ve been performing the Vanishing Bandana, you probably know that everyone else is doing it too. Chances are many audiences have seen it. Shoe Business is a GREAT alternative, a modern twist on a classic effect chosen by so many working performers. It’s so good that we wanted to keep it for ourselves!
You’ll receive all the props needed, an audio recording of the onstage “follow along” instructions and a dvd featuring a live performance and over 35 minutes of history of the effect and personal instruction on the fine points of the performance from Scott. And all in a handsome carrying box. What more could you ask for?!?

MORE MAGIC AVAILABLE AT DENNY & LEE’S

ultra telethought.1 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  ULTRA TELETHOUGHT WALLET II by Chris Kenworthey-$65.00
What’s so great about the latest version of TeleThought? Glad you asked!
Here’s the word direct from Chris Kenworthey….
“Telethought II has just as many applications as its predecessor, the “Telethought Wallet.” The performance should be cleaner since the gimmick is now on the inside of the wallet and more importantly the wallet truly perfects naturalness. It honestly looks like a normal business card holder.
Virtually any “mind-reading effect” can be performed with this present version. design duplications, book tests, telepathy experiments can now be presented under immaculate test conditions. Imagine using “Telethought Wallet 2″ for pre-show work, or combining it with a “Brainwave Deck”, “Invisible Deck”, or “Precongnition Deck.”
I truly believe “Telethought Wallet 2″ is one those rare tricks you will want to have with you all the time. It is spellbinding, has a strong impact, and is easy to perform!”
The best peek wallet in the world, just got better! Now you can take your magic to the extreme with the Kenworthey TeleThought Wallet II!
A spectator writes down anything they choose on a small card….a number, word, symbol, picture, etc. The card is inserted face down into a sleek, black wallet. Instantly, you know the information! No strange moves, nothing is taken away, and the wallet can remain in full view at all times.
The principle relies on state of the art, cutting edge technology…it’s like something “Q” would have invented for James Bond! The gimmick is in full view and yet the audience doesn’t know it. It yields complete information to the performer and yet is absolutely undetectable. It uses no electronics, no impression devices, no flaps, and no moves…it’s almost as good as real magic!
Made in leather and measures approximately 4.25 inches x 2.75 inches.

 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  MASTERMIND DECK by Chris Kenworthey-$32.00 (AVAILABLE IN 3H, 3S, 2D, 2C)
Years ago, Chris Kenworthey released his Mastermind Deck in a different back design. It was performed by Kreskin on the David Letterman show and the Regis & Kathy show. It was a big hit and a sellout. Now Chris has released this deck again but now in Bicycle cards manufactured by the US Playing Card Company.
Here is the Crowning achievement in test conditions mentalism! If you were permitted to perform only one effect before your town’s local newspaper editor, before a Magic Castle membership audition, or for Grand Prix Competition at FISM this would be it. Special thanks go to Hiro Hirata for releasing this peerless mind teaser to the magic fraternity.
Ensconced subliminally in the psyche of every mentalist is the desire to foretell destiny. Nostradamus, Count Cagilostro, and more recently Edgar Cayce are but a few of the mortals rumored to have possessed prophetic powers. Now you can transcend these luminaries with an effect that truly borders on the paranormal! Mastermind is an enigma of such spellbinding magnitude that it will transform the most critical skeptics into steadfast believers! What follows is an eyewitness account of this extraordinary phenomenon-Believe!
EFFECT A registered and notarized envelope is mailed to the mayor of your town seven days before your show is to take place. Inside this single, ungimmicked envelope is a single, ungimmicked playing card with a blue back. The mayor is instructed to keep the envelope in his possession and not let anyone tamper with it. (In fact, no one ever does, and there is never any switching of envelopes or cards ever throughout the entire routine.)
On the night of your show, a red-backed deck of cards is freely shown. Each of the cards is absolutely different, and the deck is honestly shuffled and fairly cut. (Note, there are no long or short cards, no roughed cards, no stacked arrangements, no marked cards, no stripped cards, no crimps, no false counts, and no sleight of hand involved whatsoever!) The deck quite honestly appears ordinary in every respect. It is openly ribbon-spread face-up on the table, offering a bird’s-eye view that each card is in fact different.
Once the mayor is satisfied that the cards are thoroughly mixed, they are then ribbon-spread face down, allowing for an uninhibited, free choice of any card. Note, the selection here is immaculately clean. To repeat, any card may be selected! The card the mayor himself slides out of the deck is immediately turned face-up. Let’s say it is the three of hearts. The mayor himself opens the prediction envelope that is still in his possession, and inside is the one card-a matching three of hearts! The “impossible” has just occurred!
Now for the unprecedented test conditions:
1. No forcing of any kind is ever employed! This includes psychological, mathematical, spelling, timing or classic!
2. No roughed cards.
3. No duplicate cards relied on.
4. No stacked arrangements.
5. No Himber Wallets or switching of envelopes or cards ever!
6. Prediction card is actually in envelope for the entire week. It is the same card removed from the envelope by the mayor!
7. Even if prediction is tampered with, outcome of trick will remain unaltered. (This is a first in prediction effects!)
8. Can be done as a test in telepathy between two cities over the telephone.
9. Absolutely no sleight of hand required!
10. No long or short cards employed. 11. If you were to print these decks on an individual basis, each one would cost $10,000!
12. Skeptical? Order one and see why!
Eclipse the competition with the greatest conundrum to baffle civilization since the mystery of the pyramids. Mastermind is foolproof mentalism designed for the purist! In the realm of extrasensory perception it has no equal!

 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  LITTLE MAN by Paul Harris-$300.00 (ONLY ONE LEFT IN EACH SHOP)
Paul Harris, Rod Whitlock and Mark Allen (special thanks to Angelo Carbone)
Engineering and Product development by Rod Whitlock
A LUMP OF CLAY COMES TO LIFE!
You bring out a small gift bag and pull out a standard container of kid’s clay. You peel off the lid, pull out a lump of clay and let your audience freely squish, pull and play with it. You then help the audience mold the clay into a little man (or woman!) The only reason you help is to insure that his little proportions are correct.
YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS EMPTY. THERE’S NOTHING INSIDE THE CLAY!
A spectator then takes a final bit of clay and shapes it into a tiny clay heart. She warms the heart in her hands… and for a moment… she THINKS SHE MIGHT feel a tiny heart beat. She gently sticks the tiny clay heart onto Little Man’s chest. You then stand the little guy on the flattened empty bag. Someone gently blows on his heart. Then a moment later…unbelievably… Little Man takes his first step!
YES, HE’S MOVING FORWARD AND ACTUALLY WALKING… ONE ASTONISHING STEP AT A TIME!
This is where you have to see the on-line demo to experience the devastating wonderfulness of it all. His entire clay body VISIBLY TURNS AND LURCHES FORWARD with each dramatic step. And not that you’d want to, but you could leave the room, go out for a burger, and Little Man would keep on walking! And after about 6 or 7 steps, when Little Man finally stops, anyone can immediately SQUISH HIM INTO A BALL OR TEAR HIM APART… AND THERE’S NOTHING TO FIND BUT A LUMP OF CLAY!
* Incredibly Easy.
* No switches, palming, steals, etc.
* Your hands are always empty.
* Empty bag and container can be freely handled by audience at end of effect.
* Completely self-contained. Nothing attached to you or your clothes.
* Perform completely surrounded in any lighting conditions
* Re-sets in two to three minutes. * Same lump of clay can be used over and over.
Complete with DVD and extra clay.
TAKE LITTLE MAN FOR A WALK TODAY!

 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  MOTHER OF ALL BOOK TESTS by Ted Karmilovich-$350.00 (ONE LEFT OF THE ORIGINAL)
The most direct and astonishing book test I have ever seen. No need to know the page number. Spectator is allowed to freely look through the book and select any page. They then look anywhere on the page and think of one of the words. You mentally receive their thoughts and tell them the word they are thinking of. You never ask them the page number, you allow them to look anywhere on the page, they can change their mind right up to the time they send you the thought. Nothing to stare at, glance at, etc. Nothing extra is used. Only the book. It really is the best!!

 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  MOTHER OF ALL BOOK TESTS 2.0 by Ted Karmilovich-$395.00 (ONLY ONE LEFT)
Available now!
The Mother Of All Book Tests set the standard for book tests, a standard that remains even years later.
Imagine the surprises found in Version 2.0. This could be the last word in book tests. Rocking the world of mentalism, again.
A spectator is invited to take a readable and examinable book, open it to any page, and is invited to think of any word on that page.
The performer, without touching the book or approaching the spectator, reveals the word in the simplest, most startlingly direct manner ever! It truly has to be seen to be believed.
The ultimate any-word-on-any-page method. Mother Of All Book Tests is so simple to perform, so direct, and powerful. This is the book test a select group of professionals are using to blow their audiences away.
Can be performed for an audience of one to one thousand.
Close up, walk-around, stage, radio and TV.
Anytime, anywhere All pages different Nothing written down No stooges, instant or otherwise
What’s new?
Softcover version
Less weight, easier to carry around. The text is 13-point size so the spec- tator can see it even in low lighting. Spacing of the lines is greater to provide more white space, making it easier for spectator to read.
New list of words
A different list of words than Mother of All Book Tests 1.0. All of which you can describe and/or duplicate. If you own version 1.0, you can now use 1.0 and 2.0. Hand them both out.
Adrian Bint Ploy
Adrian Bint’s ‘no-pump’ handling of the first letter.
Venue object revelation
Most of your performances take place in one of the following venues:
Auditorium, banquet hall, country club, home, niteclub, outdoors, restaurant, walk-around.
We have compiled a list of 225 common and uncommon objects that can be found in these venues. When you arrive at the location, you select the object you want to dramatically locate during your show.
A spectator “freely” selects a word (the object) from the book and concentrates. Incredibly, you are able to lead them to it in a dramatic fashion!
Reverse book test
In this mindblowing routine – created by Bob Baker – the spectator becomes the mindreader.
You open the book to a page, put your finger on a word, and tell the spectator you will attempt to mentally project that word to them.
They call out a word. You then show them the word that you are pointing at.
They match!
Name game
In this effect, the spectator picks a word. You walk out into the audience, searching around.
Stopping at a woman, you then ask the spectator to call out what he is thinking. The word he is thinking of happens to be a person’s name, lets say ‘Mary.’
You ask the person you stopped at what her name is. It’s Mary!
Pseudo-Hellstromism
The spectator focuses on a sentence that describes a series of actions. They hold onto your wrist as you walk into the audience and physically re-enact these thought-of steps!
No preparation. No gimmicks. No prompters. No glimpses. No anagrams. No short pages.
No counting. No angles. No peeks. No sleights No forces.
The Book Test That Crosses Over
Do you perform traditional magic? Book tests are mostly associated with mentalism. If you don’t perform mentalism, then you probably don’t use book tests. Mother Of All Book Tests 2.0 re-writes the rules. We’ve redefined the book test by including effects that can be used by magicians.
New and inventive presentations for those who perform effects such as:
PK Touches
Card to Wallet
Ring Flite
Any Card, Any Number
Jackpot Coins
Stigmata
Ashes on Arm
Equivoque

 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  THREE CARD PRINCE by Harry Anderson-$75.00
The Harry Anderson Three Card Monarch now in a smaller. more manageable version. Cards measure a little over 12″ x 16″ and are beautifully silk screened in four colors on heavy plastic. Harry’s great jumbo three card monte routine will full patter and routine. Extremely baffling. When all three cards turn to Kings for the finish, it really creates an impact. Only three cards are used throughout the routine. Highly recommended for the stand-up performer. A great “personality” piece.

 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  ZONE ZERO BOARD AND DVD by Jerry Andrus-$50.00
When you mention tricks created by Jerry Andrus, several classics of magic come to mind: his Linking Safety Pins, Andrus Card Control, his classic coin routine, Miser’s Miracle are but three. None are more famous, amazing, or popular as his Zone Zero. This routine is totally unique, not difficult to perform, and can be adapted to many situations and themes.
Effect
Show a board (11″ x 17″ styrene plastic with original Jerry Andrus design on both sides). There is a hole near the center. The board is shown on both sides. and both hands are shown empty. The performer reaches through the hole in the board with an empty hand and comes out with a brightly-colored (2.5″) rubber ball. The ball is bounced on the floor to show it is an actual, solid ball. The ball is put back through the hole (and back into “Zone Zero”). Immediately the board is shown on both sides and both hands are repeatedly shown empty in the process…the ball is gone! The magician explains that the ball does not exist when it is in “Zone Zero.” He reaches through the hole and brings the ball back out. “The ball exists when it’s out here…but not when I put it through the hole and into Zone Zero.” The ball is put through the hole and again it completely vanishes. The board is shown on both sides and the hands are empty.
It seems impossible! No body loads. The principles involved can be utilized for a wide variety of other effects. Vanish objects besides a ball, like an orange, pack of smokes, rolled up socks, etc. In addition, you can also utilize the Zone Zero “Master Move” with objects other than the Zone Zero board. For example, show a large book on both sides, then produce items from a book. (This is one idea not included in the instructions. We’re sure you’ll come up with many more!)
Includes: 11 x 17 silk screened “Zone Zero” board with original Jerry Andrus design, 3″ ball, DVD with instructions and additional rare footage of Jerry Andrus, plus written instructions that include the Perfect Page routine.
The instructions cover the Master Move, Zone Zero routine, plus the Routine (a small box is cut open on the ends so it can be laid flat. Show it on both sides, then fold it back into a box shape and produce an item from it, like a ball. Put the ball back into the box and smash the box flat, then show both sides of the box and your empty hands! What a space saver!) Instructions also include “Perfect PackageMoves With A Paper Bag. (Imagine showing a folded and flat paper bag all-around, then open and show the inside empty, then produce a ball, orange, etc.).
The DVD features Jerry Andrus performing and explaining Zone Zero! The DVD also includes bonus footage of Jerry performing his incredible comedy Table Act from 1960, and home-movie footage of Jerry demonstrating his incredible “Nutty Nut & Bolt Illusion,” a mind-bending, eye-popping optical illusion.
The Zone Zero Board Design on this board is the same as on the original board used by it’s inventor, Jerry Andrus. Side one, on the left above, is a picture of Jerry’s pulse. Jerry created this design by placing photographic paper on a turning drum. He then affixed a small mirror on his arm, so it moved with his pulse. In a dark room, he shined a light on the mirror so the reflected light hit the photographic paper on the turning drum. The result was a single, squiggly line created by his pulse. He then duplicated the design, in a spiral fashion, to create the design on the left. This design also appears on the cover of Andrus Card Control.

GIANT PRINCESS Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  GIANT PRINCESS CARD TRICK by Meir Yedid-$65.00
Based on the original Henry Hardin routine, the “Princess Card Trick” has become one of the best selling card tricks in history. Mostly because it requires no technical skill, can be learned in minutes and leaves the audience completely fooled. This version is customized to bring the classic routine to larger audiences.
The routine starts with a spectator thinking of one of five giant cards (7″ x 11″) displayed in a fan. You immediately remove one of the cards and place it under your arm. When the four-card fan is displayed again the thought-of card is no longer there, proving that it was the one you removed. The routine is immediately repeated with the same impossible results.
The Giant Princess Cards are suitable for small or large audiences. No sleight of hand. Instant reset. Comes complete with photo-illustrated instructions. Very easy to perform

 Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  REDONKULOUS by Anthony LIndan-$60.00
“Every single time I have a chance to perform stand-up magic I present”REDONKULOUS!”. Audiences have responded to “REDONKULOUS!” as THE strongest piece of magic that I’ve ever performed. It is the show stopping effect that everyone talks about after my show. I’m truly excited to share this dynamic piece of mystery with magic community.”
Anthony Lindan
The “REDONKULOUS!” Routine
Before the show begins a spectator is asked to merely think of any word from either side of a large broadsheet from the local daily newspaper. She has a free choice of literally hundreds or possibly thousands of words. After mentally selecting a word the performer seals the newspaper in an envelope and the spectator takes it with her back to her seat. During the show the performer asks for the envelope from the spectator tears it open and removes the newspaper. The performer explains that the spectator is concentrating on a word from somewhere on the paper and it will be the audience’s job to find that very word. As impossible as it may seem. Tearing the newspaper into two pieces the performer asks a random audience member to choose either half to discard. The choice is made and the performer tears the remaining piece in half and asks another audience member to select a half to discard. The selection is made and the performer again tears the remaining piece in half asking an audience member to select either half to toss away, yet again. Left with a piece about four inches square the performer calls on a final helper from the audience to join him on stage. This spectator is asked to close his eyes and raise a finger and to drop it somewhere on the piece of paper. The spectator does this and is asked to open his eyes and without saying a thing to remember the word that he pointed to. The spectator is then handed a white board and marking pen, and asked to write the word in big bold letters on the board and keep it concealed from the audience’s view. While he is doing this the performer engages the original spectator thinking of a word and asks her to stand and for the first time call out her mentally thought of word in a loud voice. She states her word is, for example, “Flytrap!” The performer asks the spectator with the white board to turn the board around and show everyone the word he pointed to…it is also “Flytrap!”

5card Shoe Business + more newsletter archives  FIVE CARD OPENER by Bill Abbott-$80.00
Introduction – From Bill Abbott
“When I was in high school I was doing a lot of shows on the weekends and most of those shows were mixed audiences of kids, adults, teenagers and seniors. I needed an opener to get everyone’s attention, hold their attention and keep their attention. The problem with the standard six or five card repeat is there is a lack of any real conclusion or finale to the effect. I wanted to have a genuine eye-opener that took the audience by surprise. That’s when I began working on the Five Card Opener.”
The Opener
“The “opener” of any act is a tough choice for any performer. How do you get everyone’s attention and hold their attention as well as amaze and entertain them all at the same time. This is my solution to this eternal question. The Five Card Opener gets the audience’s attention. The Five Card Opener holds their attention. The Five Card Opener amazes. The Five Card Opener entertains. In addition to all this the Five Card Opener will work for any audience.”
What is the Five Card Opener
“The Five card Opener has it’s roots in the classic five/six card repeat but it’s similar only in method (slightly). The Five Card Opener is a completely fresh approach with three sequences that build with a definitive climax that is a big surprise. It has been my “talking” opener for the past 20 years and l use it at all of my magic shows. Corporate shows, family shows, college shows, etc. The Five Card Opener can be a whole new way to make your show fun!”
The “Real” Secret
“The real secret behind the Five Card Opener is that it is an audience response ‘conditioner’. I have had corporate audiences (almost asleep after a long banquet and two hours of awards and speeches before my show) up and out of their seats at the beginning of my show using The Five Card Opener. It sets the tone for how the audience responds to the ending of each effect/routine because it also acts as a call back. There is a verbal trigger that the audience responds to every time you say it during the show, and they will react however you expect/direct them to. The Five Card Opener makes triggering applause throughout the show in all the right places easy, natural and above all fun. For example you can have the audience shout out a corporate slogan, perform a standing ovation, a specific school cheer, a company name, etc.”
Simple To Do & Gets Reactions
“I know in performing this off the top of the show, I will not have any mediocre reactions to any of my effects because I’m giving them an outlet to respond in a big way. And they do. Even the most jaded ones. For the working performer you could literally ‘drop’ this into your show the next day. It’s big and visual and takes up very little room for a routine that plays to such large crowds. There are no angle restrictions. No special lighting or staging considerations. Work away from tables and out of your pockets, making an instant connection with your audience. And the best part is that it’s so easy to do. Basically, if you have opposable thumbs (which means your not a monkey!) you can perform The Five Card Opener.” – Bill Abbott

NEW ARRIVALS AT THE DENNY AND LEE MAGIC STUDIO:
Below are some brand new items as well as items that are back in stock at the studios in both Baltimore and Las Vegas:

ACUTABOVE foy FULL New Arrivals & OOP books newsletter archives  A CUT ABOVE THE REST by Vincent Foy-$45.00
A Cut Above is a joyful exploration of one-handed cuts created or documented by Msgr. Vincent Foy, a pioneer of the modern movement of card flourishes. His contributions on this subject that appeared initially in The Linking Ring and in Bertram on Sleight of Hand inspired a new generation of finger-flingers.
At the urging of his friends David Ben and Nick Sacco, Msgr. Foy, now 95 years young, deciphered his decades old notes on over 100 one-handed cuts, most of which were of his own invention. Ron van Someren then photographed Msgr. Foy performing the very best. Renowned designer Michael Albright has married the text and images into an artful display that enables the one-hand cut or card flourish enthusiast to master the material with greater ease.
A Cut Above comes complete with an insightful introduction that examines the history and place for card cuts and flourishes in the modern repertoire and an annotated bibliographyof other books and DVDs that the reader may want to explore.
Pages: 240 – black and white, hardbound (color dustjacket) volume is approximately 8.75″ x 11.75″ (22cm x 30cm) and contains 500 photo images.

out of this world dvd New Arrivals & OOP books newsletter archives  WORLD’S GREATEST MAGIC DVD OUT OF THIS WORLD by Assorted Artists-$20.00
In 1942, magician Paul Curry invented a card trick that would take the world of pasteboard sorcery by storm. Dubbed Out of This World, this effect, where a spectator separates the red cards from the black ones without looking at them, featured a very rare combination of an extremely powerful effect with an almost self-working methodology and quickly became the most talked-about card trick of its time. On this DVD, you’ll meet five different performers who each has a singular take on this classic trick. Michael Ammar is first with an easy-to-perform version that echoes Curry’s original method. Steve Draun is next with a streamlined version that eliminates any packet switches in the middle of the effect while David Regal takes the Curry methodology a step further, with the spectator not only separating the cards by color but by suit, also! Glenn Falkenstein uses a classic Triumph-like effect to set the deck up for his version of Curry’s miracle while, finally, Eugene Burger offers some thoughts, not just on the methodology, but more so on the presentational aspects of the trick.
Curry later recalled that the concept of the trick came to him in about 15 minutes and he didn’t understand why it would fool magicians. But, fool them it did! Curry’s brainchild has become one of the most famous card tricks of all time and in fact, in the famous Genii-Orben poll, was voted as one of the greatest tricks in magic history. What’s more, it can now be a part of your own repertoire as an anytime, anywhere, any deck miracle.

tenkai pennies New Arrivals & OOP books newsletter archives  WORLD’S GREATEST MAGIC DVD TENKAI PENNIES by Assorted Artists-$20.00
Of the many varied plots in coin magic, the ones that seem to most intrigue creators and performers the most involve coins that travel invisibly from one hand to the other. In some tricks, the coins gather and in others they completely transpose, but the basic effect involves coins traveling invisibly through the air. Two of the most popular variations of the plot are the fabled Tenkai Pennies, the creation of Japanese magician Ishida Tenkai, and Millken’s Transposition, named after its inventor, Harry Milliken.
On this DVD, you’ll find four wonderful magicians who have each put their singular stamp on these two great tricks. Daryl is up first with a basic, yet classic, interpretation of the Tenkai Pennies while Steve Draun offers up his own version using half-dollars rather than the traditional smaller coins. Ross Bertram is next with a classic, to-the-letter performance of the Tenkai Pennies, right down to the costuming, while David Roth follows with a half-dollar version that also features some handling simplifications for those new to coin manipulation. Next, David demonstrates and teaches Milliken’s Transposition, a two-phase effect where two pairs of dissimilar coins completely transpose between the performer’s hands. Finally, Daryl brings his own spin to the Milliken’s Transposition plot.
As a magician, you’ll be asked constantly to “do something,” and mastering either the Tenkai Pennies or Millken’s Transposition (or both!) offers an opportunity for you to always be ready to perform an impromptu miracle.

wild card dvd New Arrivals & OOP books newsletter archives  WORLD’S GREATEST MAGIC DVD WILD CARD by Assorted Artists-$20.00
In 1962, British magician Peter Kane invented a trick that he named Watch the Ace! The effect was reworked and subsequently renamed Wild Card by Frank Garcia and very quickly became a sensation in the magic world. In fact, the Magic Dealers Association named it as the best-selling card trick for 1963, and with good reason. Very few effects in card magic are as visual as Wild Card, where several different cards successively change to match one odd card.
On this DVD, you’ll find seven master magicians each with their own interpretation of this classic small packet trick. Steve Dacri begins with a highly commercial version where the magician’s signature appears on a number of cards that have previously been shown blank. Up next, Tommy Wonder’s version is a tour-de-force of routining that also makes it perfect for strolling magic situations. In Harry Allen’s performance, blank cards all change to match the one odd card while Eric DeCamps changes a packet of jokers into seven Threes of Hearts to show, in a highly visual finale, why 21 gets the big money. Boris Wild changes several double-backed cards, and eventually the entire deck, to match a free selection while Darwin Ortiz performs and teaches what has become a modern-day classic version of the Wild Card effect. Finally, Scotty York gets behind the bar and shows off his very dramatic version of Peter Kane’s Gypsy Curse.
Wild Card belongs on the very short list of tricks that look like real magic to laypeople and on this DVD, you’ll find seven of the very best versions of this effect ever created.
* Signature Wild Card – Steve Dacri
* The Tamed Card – Tommy Wonder
* Blanco – Harry Allen
* Jokers are Wild – Eric De Camps
* Wild Wild Card – Boris Wild
* Darwin’s Wild Card – Darwin Ortiz
* Curse of the Gypsies – Scotty York

CARD CONSPIRACY VOLUME ONE by Peter Duffie-$30.00

“In this book you will find twin thoughts smoothly blended to produce an outstanding collection of card material. All types of card magic are covered in a subtle and elegant manner, and without the use of knuckle breaking sleights. I recommend this book highly!”–Roy Walton. “If you want R&D with card tricks, try Robertson and Duffie. Three years late, two top thinkers, one great book. Your audiences won’t have a theory about this conspiracy.”–Steve Beam. “Peter Duffie has been blessed with the talent to create fresh ideas and apply them to new and practical effects. On the other hand, he can take an old effect and add a new twist to it, thereby making the climax of the effect stronger. Combine this talent with that of Robin Robertson, and I’m envious of the results.”–Gene Maze. “Peter Duffie is one of the world’s most skillful and creative cardmen. Card Conspiracy, his latest book, co-authored with Robin Robertson, offers a wide variety of card magic that will no doubt appeal to all card workers, whatever their tastes.”–Harvey Rosenthal. “Peter and Robin are serious students of card magic. Their separate work is great, this work together is incredible. GREAT material, refreshing, and usable.”–Aldo Colombini. “To quote Roy Walton, it is an outstanding collection…your applications of the CATO principle are excellent and would have made a stand-alone ms…I’ve recommended Card Conspiracy to a number of magicians.”–Karl Fulves. “Here’s what those in the know said about Vol. 1: If you…love to play with new ideas, to work out new handlings, and to fiddle and fuss with the myriad of sleights that make up card magic,…you’re going to love Card Conspiracy 1…I know that purchasers of CC1 will be chomping at the bit waiting for the second one.”–Mike Close (MAGIC).

 

MAGIC AND THE PAPERBACK BOOK:
It is really amazing how many magicians tell me how expensive magic is. It really depends on how you spend your money as to how expensive magic is. I’ll never forget when Mike Rogers lectured here at our studio many years ago. He held up a little $10.00 paperback book titled The Art of Magic by T. Nelson Downs and made the following statement: “If someone were to take this book today and learn what is in it, they could tour the world as a professional magician the rest of their life.”
And yet, we seem to always be searching for the Holy Grail, that next new miracle that will make us a star, that latest “hype” trick that makes people on the street run away from us. Virtual reality internet shops (the ones that don’t really exist) and websites that prey on the new or younger beginner magicians are making a lot of money selling instant downloads, DVDs, and so called “Street Magic” to those who just don’t want to read. This is what makes magic expensive.
YOU can make the choice. YOU do not have to follow the hip hop magic crowd. Have you ever seen Al Goshman, Don Alan, Del Ray, Bert Allerton, etc. perform for real laymen?? By laymen, I don’t mean young people on the street who have never seen magic before in their life. I mean people who do travel and stay in nice hotels. People who have real jobs or are executives in business. People who go out to dinner and dress nicely when they go out. These are the people who pay a nice fee for you to perform. These are the people who have seen lots of entertainers in their time and know a good one when they see it.
Some of the greatest magical entertainers and creators have published their life’s work in little paperback booklets that seem to be totally ignored by young or beginner magicians today. Everything is YouTube, Instant Downlaod, or DVD.
You are missing some of the finest magic ever published in these paperback books.
You can either follow the crowd and do what every other “cool” magician is doing OR you can look into some of these works and do things that are different, things that make an audience ENJOY what you are doing.
Anyway, that is just my thought on it. I could write dozens of pages on this subject but I will keep it short and just throw some of these booklets at you. Please take the time to read about them. You may be surprised. at what you will “discover”
I’ve tried to put these books into categories to make it a little easier for you.

transit09 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  TRANSIT by Calen Morelli-$17.00
A normal rubberband is examined – then secured on your finger.
The rubberband is ungimmicked – and can even be borrowed. The rubberband is doubled over again and again, securing it in a manner that is clear and fair. With no strange moves, you begin waving your hand gently. As you wave, the rubberband visibly JUMPS to your second finger.
It continues to JUMP from one finger to another – to another.
It finally travels back across your fingers to where it started. The rubberband is slowly massaged with two fingers of your opposite hand. When your hand is pulled away, the rubberband VANISHES – only to emerge in a surprise, shocking finale on the THUMB of your other hand.
NOTE: TRANSIT requires some common household materials that should be easily available. An ample supply of these materials (rubberbands, etc) is included with the DVD.

colorblind Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  COLORBLIND by Luke Jermay-$30.00
Imagine the ability to SEE with your fingertips. Imagine the ability to divine – without looking – the color of each card in a shuffled deck.
This is COLORBLIND. About a year ago, Luke began to demonstrate a groundbreaking, original routine for some of the top names in magic – from Jason England to Chris Kenner. The routine was brilliant: being able to determine the color of a card without looking, with 100% accuracy.
Months later, Luke tipped the original method for the routine in a full length DVD. Today, Luke builds upon that foundation in presenting FIVE unique methods to accomplish the SAME effect, including the original handling. Includes EVERYTHING you need for all 5 methods.
Why would anyone want to learn FIVE methods to the same effect, you ask? So that you are prepared. Within this DVD, you will learn how to perform the effect blindfolded, with a borrowed deck, and even in an IMPROMPTU setting.
The routine begins via explanation of the concept of dermioptic vision – the ability to SEE with your fingertips. The spectator can shuffle the deck to their heart’s content. The cards are legitimately, truly mixed. Without ever looking at the cards, you begin sliding cards one by one from the bottom, naming their color and turning the card over to authenticate your accuracy. You are right every single time.
A routine that has been tried and tested – critically acclaimed by some of the most respected names in magic. An effect that is VERY simple to learn and diabolical in nature, with FIVE methods included to suit any environment.

smoke Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  SMOKE by Alan Rorrison-$50.00
A match is ignited and pressed to a small black dot – a portal – is drawn on the palm of your hand. With your other hand, you slowly trace the path of ignition up your arm, across your chest, and finally to your mouth. You open your mouth – and a cloud of smoke emerges.
Created by Alan Rorrison, SMOKE represents simple, powerful magic. It needs no introduction. While intended for those 18 years of age or older, theory11 made every effort in production of SMOKE to ensure precise safety in operation. The smoke is harmless – made of organic compounds.
The DVD teaches a full routine utilizing the SMOKE gimmick entitled PORTAL by Dan White. You’ll also see 6 other applications and concepts that you can build off of. The possibilities are endless.
Nothing was a higher priority for us than safety. We went above and beyond to ensure that the gimmicks provided were as safe, effective, and reliable as humanly possible. In fact, the gimmicks provided were THREE TIMES the cost of our original prototypes. We demanded quality – and we took our time to find it.
The smoke created using SMOKE is not actually smoke. Try to say that three times fast! But it is true – it is NOT smoke. It is actually vapor, made from organic compounds and completely harmless. It causes no irritation or discomfort whatsoever with responsible use.
A powerful, simple effect that is diabolical in function and applauded by some of the top names in magic. Enough supplies are included for close to a THOUSAND performances – and refills are available at any time.

believe 006 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  BELIEVE by Joel Paschal-$20.00
A card is selected from an ordinary deck – then signed and returned. An indifferent card is shown; the corner is ripped off and placed face up on the table. The rest of the card is set aside, in view.
With a slow, calculated, delicate wave of your hand over the torn corner, it visually changes into that of the spectator’s chosen selection. Impossible? Think again.
The rest of the card – which has been in view the entire time – is turned over to show that it has also changed. The corners match perfectly and the signature remains. NO gimmicks. NO duplicates.
Shot in high definition on location at California Magic, this DVD features live performances for real audiences and expert teaching by magician and creator Joel Paschall. Learn every eccentricity of this effect, from start to finish, in 30 minutes of detailed instruction.
Two complete versions of the trick are taught – one basic and one more advanced – making BeLieVe suitable for ANY ability level. Perform it with the corner resting on a table or even on top of your spectator’s outstretched palm. The choice is yours.
“The best money I have spent on magic. Buy it – you won’t regret it.” – Trent, California

symphony01 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  SYMPHONY DVD by Daniel Garcia-$30.00
Five powerful, practical effects by Daniel Garcia jam packed onto one DVD. Featuring Jacob’s Ladder, VOID, Timeline 2.0, Visa, and 0.44.
This is powerful magic that you WILL use – as simple and direct as magic can get.
SYMPHONY contains magic tricks using everything from rubberbands to credit cards to dollar bills to playing cards. Each is completely impromptu and can be performed at a moment’s notice.
Taught in over 1.5 hours of detailed instruction with multiple street performances for real audiences and filmed in high definition on location in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Contents of SYMPHONY – A Look Inside The DVD
*JACOB’S LADDER A rubberband is stretched around the fingers of a spectator. A bill is folded over the top strand of the band. With a subtle flick it penetrates directly through, leaving it wrapped around the second strand. Another pull and it penetrates directly through into the spectator’s awaiting hand. Everything can be examined.
*VOID An ordinary drinking straw penetrates and melts visually through a dollar bill in a three phase routine that will leave your audience speechless.
*VISA You cause the magnetic strip on two borrowed credit cards to polarize themselves, being drawn together and repelled apart as if a magnetic field was present. Three phases of staticy goodness.
*TIMELINE 2.0 A card with an odd back is removed from your pocket as the ‘prediction’. You have the spectator sign it across the back and it is placed securely into the card box – which is then held by the spectator. You spread another deck and have a card selected. You ask the spectator if it matches the prediction in the case, but they find it has vanished. You tell them to turn over the card in their hand and it is the original signed prediction.
*.44 A card effect that can be performed spur of the moment. Four Aces held by a spectator transpose with the Jacks in your hand… twice.

tnr Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  TNR by Mathieu Bich-$25.00
A playing card is selected then shuffled back into the deck. An indifferent card is shown and torn into four separate pieces. What happens next will turn your mind inside out.
Slowly and methodically you begin to restore the card, piece-by-piece.
Each segment of the card is shown clearly and fairly before it is visibly restored onto the next. The motions are completely logical and silky smooth. NO funny movements.
The restoration is a masterpiece of aesthetic perfection – but it’s not over yet. Without hesitation, you turn the restored card over to reveal that it has transformed into the spectator’s selection.
TnR is a trick that defines visual magic. If you could genuinely restore a torn playing card, this is EXACTLY what it would look like. Shot in high definition in Las Vegas, Nevada with 85 minutes of intricate instruction by Chris Kenner – creator of the legendary Torn Asunder card restoration.

Sentinels12 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  SENTINEL PLAYING CARDS-$6.00
They told us it couldn’t be done. Sentinels challenge everything you know about high-end playing cards. You have never seen a deck like this before.
theory11 has set the bar high month after month, pushing the envelope with each playing card release from the Guardians to the Centurions to the SMOKE&MIRRORS (all FOUR editions). We don’t rest.
It started with an idea born 30,000 feet in the air. On a flight back to New York City from Magic-Con, theory11 ceo Jonathan Bayme made a quick sketch on his iPhone. Less than 24 hours later, the concept was sent to Hatch, an industry leading design firm in San Francisco, California that produces illustrations for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Starbucks, and Target.
Over the months that followed, we refined the concept with illustrations prepared specifically for the deck after hundreds of pages of research on the history of magic, hermeticism, secret societies, and mythology. The result is jaw dropping – unlike anything you have ever seen before.
The box is printed on imported paper 40% thicker than normal tuck cases – and has metallic accents on SIX sides. The art is embossed in 20 locations and coated with a matte varnish to enhance durability.
Clean, elegant, and refined design. The first mainstream deck in magic that is composed 100% of original art – the faces, the backs, the box. And yes – even the court cards. Every single design element has a meaning behind it. The deck represents magic, the industry of deception, and the allied arts.
Printed exclusively in Q1 quality on the casino web press at the United States Playing Card Company, under strict supervision from senior press technicians. theory11 is the ONLY company in magic that prints exclusively and only on the web press – it makes all the difference in the world.
Plastic coated and featuring an all new 909 Premium Finish, the deck has been kept a closely guarded secret only shown to senior theory11 staff, artists, and collaborators like Chris Kenner, Andrei Jikh, Dan White, Daniel Madison, and Cyril Takayama. The project was kept strictly confidential.
Now available and in stock for immediate shipping. See images of the Sentinels in the gallery on the right hand side of this page. These will sell out VERY quickly. Be a part of the Sentinels – order now

rice papers Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  RICE PAPERS DVD by Homer Liwag-$20.00
In November of 2006, Homer Liwag released a DVD that would forever change the standard of magic videos. It was called CoinONE, and it set the bar, pushed the envelope, and earned critical praise. MAGIC Magazine called it “magical… a work of art.”
Today, we raise the bar with Homer’s third release, The Rice Papers. Homer presents three of his favorite original creations on one DVD. Complete with clear performances, concise face to face teaching, and carefully directed camera work for an unparalleled learning experience.
A giant contact lens materializes at your fingertips – followed by a pair of eye glasses from nowhere. A selected playing card slowly appears on a blank card. A marker is extracted from its own cap, a ball bearing drops from the tip, and the marker transforms into your cell phone!
Magic that can happen with any object at any time. Every prop needed to perform these tricks can be easily made / found. Complete with easy to watch performances, clear face to face teaching, and carefully directed camera work and lighting for an unparalleled learning experience.
For those who already own The Rice Papers lecture notes, new methods and extra ideas are taught on this DVD – along with bonus features containing behind the scenes footage and outtake reels. Knowledge of basic sleight-of-hand is recommended.

pressure 03 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  PRESSURE by Daniel Garcia-$20.00
A borrowed cell phone is held in one hand – and a balloon is inflated. The cell phone visually penetrates inside of the balloon. It is shown, then given back to the spectator with the cell phone still inside.
The result is a twisted hybrid of visual craziness: the borrowed cell phone is INSIDE of the balloon. The spectator removes it herself. There are no crazy gimmicks. Any cell phone. Any balloon. Nothing but magic.

genesis2 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  GENESIS DVD VOLUME TWO by Andrei Jikh-$35.00
It all started in October of 2009. It was on that day – it was Halloween night – that we unveiled the debut DVD from the mind of Andrei Jikh. It was called Genesis. And it changed everything.
Genesis is not, and has never been, a small undertaking. The original Genesis DVD is close to four hours of training, and it takes you from zero to sixty in cardistry faster and better than any other training resource. Don’t take our word for it – read the reviews.
The first volume of Genesis was specifically designed for those on a beginner or intermediate ability level. It provides a foundation in card flourishing – the building blocks and essential moves you need to know to advance within the artform. Genesis v2 continues in that progression. This is the next step.
Everything you learned in Genesis v1 is about to get amped up to another dimension. Covering over 18 moves on an intermediate to advanced ability level, Genesis v2 takes you by the hand and challenges you to be better, faster, and more precise in every movement you make. Are you up to that challenge?
Over two and a half hours of comprehensive training, with guest appearances by Jeff McBride shot on location in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It was our goal with Genesis v2 to take everything you’ve seen or learned before – and then surpass it. With unparalleled production quality, there has never been a cardistry training video like Genesis before, and with this second volume, we continue to push the envelope.
Now is the time to take the next step. Imagine a new world of elegant, fluid motion brought to life by Andrei Jikh. Get inside his mind, and apply these principles in creating new moves of your own imagination. The sky is the limit. With Genesis v2, Andrei Jikh solidifies his stance on the forefront of the artform, and with this video, he invites you to join him on that quest. Get ready.

 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  FIVE DVD by Daniel Garcia and Marcus Eddie-$30.00
FIVE features five original tricks from creators Daniel Garcia and Marcus Eddie – utilizing everything from rubberbands to Tic Tacs to playing cards – taught in complete detail with multiple REAL performances filmed on the streets of Las Vegas, NV.
In addition, the DVD also features an exclusive one-on-one interview session with Daniel and Marcus discussing everything from their unique creative processes, to being original and developing your magic. FIVE is more than the magic – it’s a lesson in creativity.
FIVE was designed not only to provide you with five visual effects that you will use in each performance, but also to promote creative evolution and advancement.
The Contents of FIVE – A Look Inside The DVD
*FRESH SCENT – Marcus Eddie – A coin is borrowed and held at the fingertips – as it visually penetrates a solid, closed Tic Tac container. Included is a version that can be performed completely impromptu with no setup. Taught in full detail with street performances.
*MINT CONDITION – Daniel Garcia – A concept that enables you to accurately predict the number of Tic Tac’s a spectator pours into their closed hand… while in another room. Daniel also provides you with additional insight and ideas – and teaches a bonus effect that utilizes the same concept.
*RAW LINKAGE – Marcus Eddie – One rubberband visually penetrates another linking them together – then is pulled back through in the fairest manner imaginable. All can be handed out for complete examination. Includes performances shot on the streets of Las Vegas.
*DALEY’S REVENGE – Daniel Garcia – A card effect wherein the two red tens visually change places with the black tens twice – ending with a smooth final production of all four cards. Fast and visual, Daley’s Revenge is card magic at its finest.
*STAIRWAY – Marcus Eddie – A borrowed bill is folded over the bottom of two rubberbands being held at the fingertips – and paperclipped to ensure security. One by one the bill travels up each band, even while the bottom of the bill is being pinched by a spectator. For the finale, the bill travels all the way down the bands visually and slowly, ending where it started. Includes live performances + tips and ideas from Marcus on making the routine as effective as possible.

crush12 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  CRUSH by Eric Ross-$30.00
In early December of 2009, we received a rough, raw video of an unreleased effect. The video was by a magician named Eric Ross, and the effect was entitled CRUSH. What we witnessed was a miracle.
You focus your attention. You stare with intent and precision. And suddenly, and slowly, the bottle begins to CRUSH. They hear it. They feel it. It happens without warning, entirely under your control.
The DVD teaches TWO complete methods, one of which requiring NO gimmicks of any kind. Perform it with a borrowed bottle. A Pepsi bottle. A water bottle. Any bottle.
Hold the bottle in your hands. Put the bottle in your spectator’s hands. Put the bottle on the table. The choice is yours. It CRUSHES. The DVD was shot on location in New York City. Both methods are tried, true, and work in REAL environments. Don’t want to carry around a gimmick? You DON’T have to.
CRUSH is suitable for close-up, parlor, or stage performance, and via a combination of methods, is workable for just about ANY environment. Own one of the hottest releases of 2010.

invisibledeck10 Items from Theory 11 newsletter archives  INVISIBLE DECK WITH DVD by Justin Kredible-$15.00
Often referred to as the world’s greatest card trick, the Invisible Deck is the perfect trick for people new to magic. It is simple to learn and INCREDIBLY powerful. As seen on David Blaine’s first special.
You ask the spectator to THINK of any card in the deck. Don’t say it yet, just think it. You tell them to imagine that random card reversed – face down – in a face up deck. They can change their mind and think of a different card. It is truly a free thought.
You pull out a deck of cards from your back pocket, and you spread through it. ONE card is face down in the face up deck. The card is shown to be the card that they previously THOUGHT of. Impossible. And very, very easy to learn.
Featuring instruction by Justin Kredible, a world renowned professional seen on countless television appearances and on tour with Grammy Award winner Jason Mraz. Learn all of the details you need to know to perform the effect successfully – this package includes absolutely EVERYTHING you need.

signed New David Roth items and other coin stuff newsletter archives  SIGNED DVD AND GIMMICKS by Mariano Goni-$80.00
Mariano Goñi has done it again!
The most straightforward signed coin transposition between you and two spectators. The most powerful and memorable magic is the one that happens in the hands of the audience. A half dollar is examined or borrowed and initialed on each side by two spectators.
One spectator holds a purse from the start, the other is given the signed coin and closes the hand. He sees the signed coin in his hand before closing it.
At that moment, the magic begins: The magician makes a quarter dollar transpose with the signed coin… now the spectator opens the hand, he has the quarter, and you have the signed coin.
But that’s NOT ALL!
Now you point to the second spectator holding the purse, and making a gesture, the signed coin vanishes from you hand only to reappear inside the purse or wallet. The spectator HIMSELF removes the coin and checks the “Signatures”!
Important Points:
* No sleeving.
* Carry it in you pocket.
* Coin can end up in your wallet, or an envelope.
* Spectator can keep the coin as a souvenir.
* Featuring the Gravity Switch by M.G.

silver copper brass.3 New David Roth items and other coin stuff newsletter archives  SILVER COPPER BRASS TRANSPOSITION by Johnson Products-$60.00
As featured on the Doc Eason videos. The classic effect in which a half dollar continuously changes places with a centavo coin and a Chinese coin with a hole in the center. Featured by many top close-up performers. Best made by Johnson. You show the half, the centavo, and the Chinese coin in your hand. You remove the two foreign coins and place them in your pocket. All of a sudden the half is in the pocket and the foreign coins are in your hand. This is repeated and again the coins change places. You then do it without the pocket and the coins switch places right in the hands without even going to the pocket. Finally you offer an explanation as to how the effect works and it still ends up with a surprising switch at the end. This is really a great set of coins. The gimmick allows you to clearly show a half dollar in your hand, close the hand, and upon opening the hand there is the centavo and a Chinese coin with a hole in the middle. A terrific gimmick!! Best made by Johnson products.

 New David Roth items and other coin stuff newsletter archives  TWO COPPER ONE SILVER by Johnson Products-$40.00
Same effect as the popular Silver/Copper Brass Transposition but done with a half dollar, an English penny, and a Mexican Centavo. Half dollar and the two foreign coins continuously change places in your pocket and your hands.

chinatown half.3 New David Roth items and other coin stuff newsletter archives  CHINATOWN HALF DOLLAR by Johnson Products-$27.50
A classic transposition effect between a Chinese coin with a hole in the center and a half dollar. This effect is sadly overlooked today but if you ever saw Don Alan perform it with the hat load, you would be using it constantly. Eugene Burger has generated a new interest in this great effect by performing it on his Magical Voyages Videos and DVDs and everyone has now been asking for them again. Very convincing effect!!
Comes with the Chinatown Half gimmick as well as a matching Chinese coin. This is a must have for coin workers!!!

cig thru quarter.2 New David Roth items and other coin stuff newsletter archives  CIGARETTE THRU QUARTER by Johnson Products-$40.00
One of the most visual of all coin effects. As featured by David Copperfield on his special. Works smoother than the “show both sides” version. Think about it, if you are borrowing the coin, why do you have to show both sides? Seems to me if there isn’t a hole on one side, there can’t be a hole on the other. Stick with the best, the original.

If you are a stand up performer, this is an absolute must have routine for your show. I will NOT explain all the details of this routine as I do not want magicians using this routine without the creators getting compensated for theor thought and hard work. I can only say…TRUST ME! You WILL use this routine.
The effect is our take on the “magician in trouble” and is a self working, out of the box effect that plays big on laughs and equally strong in the magic department. If you’ve been performing the Vanishing Bandana, you probably know that everyone else is doing it too. Chances are many audiences have seen it. Shoe Business is a GREAT alternative, a modern twist on a classic effect chosen by so many working performers. It’s so good that we wanted to keep it for ourselves!
You’ll receive all the props needed, an audio recording of the onstage “follow along” instructions and a dvd featuring a live performance and over 35 minutes of history of the effect and personal instruction on the fine points of the performance from yours truely. And all in a handsome carrying box. What more could you ask for?!?

 Comedy Drink in Shoe + more newsletter archives  F1 WALLET by Jason Rea-$96.00
Alakazam Magic Are Proud To Presents Jason Rea F1 No Palm/Palm Card To Wallet
The F1 Wallet Opens Up New Possibilities. Imagine getting a signed card in to a wallet That Has Been Held by Your Spectator.
The Load Is So Fast & Totally Sleight Free You Will Fool Yourself!!
Ask yourself this question. Does your current card to wallet routine allow the following?
A card is selected, signed & put back into the deck. You can now show that the selection has vanished.
You can even count the cards and there are only 51. The wallet has been in full view since before the card was even selected.
Yet when you open the zipper compartment the chosen card is inside.
Now imagine that whole routine is achieved with absolutely no sleight of hand at all. Yes read that again None, Zero sleight of hand. Not one little bit!! As you know here at Alakazam we design and market our own wallets including these best sellers The Mindspy, the Assassin & the Infinity. We also get loads of magicians sending in their wallet ideas but to date the F1 is the one that really impressed us. So much so that we are proud to have this join our range of best-selling magic wallets!!
The F1 is easy enough to be used by the beginner and looks so impossible that the pro’s will love it!!
Have you ever wanted a palm & no palm card to wallet that is designed to look and function as a standard day to day wallet, yet contains 2 killer lightning fast load functions!!
Well Jason’s wallet combined with his F1 gimmick allows just that. The wallet has been designed by Jason and Alakazam to ensure it’s a real world worker.
On the instructional DVD Jason takes you through some of his pet routines including:
*F1 Card to Wallet
This could be the cleanest and easiest no palm card to wallet ever. Jason’s Routine is Slick, fast and totally sleight free. You will not believe the speed in which the card appears in the wallet!
*F1 Repeat Card to Wallet
This effect is a commercial winner. A three phase routine with two selected cards. The first selection is found via the use of a long card (a lovely gag but never the less very impressive to your spectator)
The second card is found in the zipper compartment of your wallet. Now with the wallet in full view your spectator sees their signed card go in to the middle of the deck (they can even push it in themselves and it really is their signed card)
Now as quick as a flash you open the wallet and remove their card again!!! You will not believe how easy this effect is to perform. If you’re a working pro this could be the only card effect you need to use at the table.
*F1 Torn and Restored Card
What can I say apart from this looks impossible, it’s a real crowd pleaser with a killer knock out finale. It’s so easy to do and is ideal for walk-around and close up.
*F1 Multiple Selection
Another Commercial Winner
Three cards are selected and signed by your spectators. The cards are lost in the deck. After a little fun with your audience you open your wallet and remove all three cards from the zipper compartment. The wallet can be sitting on the table before the effect even starts!!!
Believe it or not all the effects above are accomplished with either minimal or no sleight of hand at all!!
This is by far the fastest, easiest no palm card to wallet ever.
The special F1 gimmick can be easily adapted to your preferred brand of playing card.
The F1 Comes with everything you need (apart from a long card for the gag) to start working it straight away!!!
NOTE: The “Play All” option on the DVD does not work. The DVD can be navigated through the Chapters.

 Comedy Drink in Shoe + more newsletter archives  REDONKULOUS by Anthony Lindan-$60.00
“Every single time I have a chance to perform stand-up magic I present”REDONKULOUS!”. Audiences have responded to “REDONKULOUS!” as THE strongest piece of magic that I’ve ever performed. It is the show stopping effect that everyone talks about after my show. I’m truly excited to share this dynamic piece of mystery with magic community.”
Anthony Lindan
The “REDONKULOUS!” Routine
Before the show begins a spectator is asked to merely think of any word from either side of a large broadsheet from the local daily newspaper. She has a free choice of literally hundreds or possibly thousands of words. After mentally selecting a word the performer seals the newspaper in an envelope and the spectator takes it with her back to her seat. During the show the performer asks for the envelope from the spectator tears it open and removes the newspaper. The performer explains that the spectator is concentrating on a word from somewhere on the paper and it will be the audience’s job to find that very word. As impossible as it may seem. Tearing the newspaper into two pieces the performer asks a random audience member to choose either half to discard. The choice is made and the performer tears the remaining piece in half and asks another audience member to select a half to discard. The selection is made and the performer again tears the remaining piece in half asking an audience member to select either half to toss away, yet again. Left with a piece about four inches square the performer calls on a final helper from the audience to join him on stage. This spectator is asked to close his eyes and raise a finger and to drop it somewhere on the piece of paper. The spectator does this and is asked to open his eyes and without saying a thing to remember the word that he pointed to. The spectator is then handed a white board and marking pen, and asked to write the word in big bold letters on the board and keep it concealed from the audience’s view. While he is doing this the performer engages the original spectator thinking of a word and asks her to stand and for the first time call out her mentally thought of word in a loud voice. She states her word is, for example, “Flytrap!” The performer asks the spectator with the white board to turn the board around and show everyone the word he pointed to…it is also “Flytrap!”
“REDONKULOUS!” Considerations:
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses no impression devices.
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses no equivoque/magician’s choice.
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses no stooges, only random volunteers from the audience.
* There is no switch of the newspaper.
* “REDONKULOUS!” is not a prediction but powerful and improbable coincidence
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses any newspaper in any language.
* “REDONKULOUS!” pack small plays big – it easily fits in a briefcase.
* Perform “REDONKULOUS!” for audiences of 30 to 3000
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses audience participation
* “REDONKULOUS!” Uses a newspaper, white board and office supplies.
* “REDONKULOUS!” is an audience tested and polished routine honed over the past 10 years and hundreds of performances!
The “REDONKULOUS!” Package Includes:
* 2 Live Corporate Show Performances of “REDONKULOUS!”
* The history of Anthony’s creation and how “REDONKULOUS!” came to be the solid piece of mental theatre in his corporate keynote, team building and entertainment programs.

Paul Harris, Rod Whitlock and Mark Allen (special thanks to Angelo Carbone)

Engineering and Product development by Rod Whitlock

A LUMP OF CLAY COMES TO LIFE!

You bring out a small gift bag and pull out a standard container of kid’s clay. You peel off the lid, pull out a lump of clay and let your audience freely squish, pull and play with it. You then help the audience mold the clay into a little man (or woman!) The only reason you help is to insure that his little proportions are correct.

YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS EMPTY. THERE’S NOTHING INSIDE THE CLAY!

A spectator then takes a final bit of clay and shapes it into a tiny clay heart. She warms the heart in her hands… and for a moment… she THINKS SHE MIGHT feel a tiny heart beat. She gently sticks the tiny clay heart onto Little Man’s chest. You then stand the little guy on the flattened empty bag. Someone gently blows on his heart. Then a moment later…unbelievably… Little Man takes his first step!

YES, HE’S MOVING FORWARD AND ACTUALLY WALKING… ONE ASTONISHING STEP AT A TIME!

This is where you have to see the on-line demo to experience the devastating wonderfulness of it all. His entire clay body VISIBLY TURNS AND LURCHES FORWARD with each dramatic step. And not that you’d want to, but you could leave the room, go out for a burger, and Little Man would keep on walking! And after about 6 or 7 steps, when Little Man finally stops, anyone can immediately SQUISH HIM INTO A BALL OR TEAR HIM APART… AND THERE’S NOTHING TO FIND BUT A LUMP OF CLAY!

Complete with DVD and extra clay.

TAKE LITTLE MAN FOR A WALK TODAY!

 

AARON FISHER dropped in for the day this past Saturday and dropped off some of his new booklets. It reminded me of two of my favorite “younger” card guys (Aaron Fisher and Lee Asher) and that I should do a newsletter especially for the “Card Workers’ out there. There might be quite a few card man items on this list that are difficult to find elsewhere. This material is for serious card workers only.

AARON FISHER CARD MAGIC:

graduatephoto For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  THE GRADUATE by Aaron Fisher-$23.00
The effect is simple and strong. A selected card melts upward through the deck in three stages.
The slow motion Ambitious Card plot has been proved a favorite among the coterie of advanced sleight of hand men. Aaron has been developing  his personal handling, The Graduate, for over a decade. As you can see from he video preview below – the results are striking. Aaron designed this version for good angles and practical conditions. The Graduate uses no broad arm gestures and allows you to stand a comfortable distance from the audience (no close-talking!)
On top of all that – It looks like real magic. 30 glossy pages 29 illustrations
Introduction by Jim Steinmeyer
Angle efficient: The Graduate looks good from left, right & center!
Aaron discusses issues that will matter to any student of sleight of hand
Even though this effect uses no passes, it will help you improve your pass. Crazy, huh? Tell me about it.

lost studio For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  LOST STUDIO SESSIONS by Aaron Fisher-$15.00
Aaron Fisher’s “Lost Studio Sessions”
Material originally slated for Aaron’s 1997 debut lecture manuscript, the Lost Studio Session’s features two of Aaron’s favorite commercial routines.
Soul mates
: God and the Devil play head to head poker. The Stakes? Your audiences Soul! This self working effect based on Daryl’s “Untouched” is a favorite will surely be a favorite.
Casting Doubt: Aaron Started with one of the greatest tricks of the Century, Dan Harlan’s award winning Cardtoon
, and ended up with a mind altering new effect. The magician predicts any movie actor named by the spectator. This is a stunner, and without a single move.
Buenos Knotches
: This new method for the cut and restored string is “knot” like anything you’ve ever seen before!

 For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  SEARCH AND DESTROY DVD by Aaron Fisher-$30.00
Real Magic in the spectator’s hands
As magicians, we project an air of mysterious, hidden ability. Our audiences are envious of this power, and their secret is that they wish they could do what we do. Search & Destroy gives them that opportunity – in a fun, entertaining, and completely self-working way. And yet without offering them a single clue as to how it’s all done!
The plot is simple: the slow-motion sandwich effect. A card is selected and returned to the pack. Two kings are placed face-up near the top and bottom of the pack – they move in toward the center, one step at a time, until only one card is trapped between them. Of course, that one card turns out to be the selection. But here’s the rub: the entire effect happens with the spectator holding the cards! Better yet, this trick is all but self-working. If you can control a playing card, you can perform this miracle.
*Virtually self working; allows you to concentrate on learning the touches and nuances that turn this trick into a miracle
*Audience tested thousands of times
*Widely considered the best sandwich trick of all time
*Any deck, anytime, anywhere
*Practical, powerful technique – lessons that will evolve your magic
Search & Destroy also includes a detailed explanation of the Nowhere Pass – Aaron’s acclaimed and well-thought-out approach to the Bluff Pass, long considered the province of only the most advanced sleight-of-hand experts. With the care and attention that has come to define Aaron’s teaching, this segment will give you a new tool in your arsenal that you will find uses for in many of your own favorite effects. And that’s only the beginning: the lessons you learn here about tension, focus, and design in sleight of hand will improve every card trick you do.
*Learn the secret of soft, elegant sleight of hand
*Perform surrounded
*Any conditions
*Completely invisible from any angle
*Control a card to any position in the pack
Running Time Approximately: 1hr 30min

 For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  ONE HAND POPOVER DVD by Aaron Fisher-$30.00
It’s not there. It’s there.
That’s how quickly, amazingly, and impossibly a card pops out of the deck with Aaron Fisher’s powerful new sleight, One-hand Popover. Based on J.K. Hartman’s Popover, this new revelation is the basis for a wide variety of visually stunning card illusions, from Ace productions to transpositions to card stabs – all made more remarkable because you’re holding the deck with just one hand.
First taught in The Paper Engine, Aaron’s acclaimed book on advanced card technique, One-Hand Popover is now part of Aaron’s Personal Training Series on DVD, where you can learn every nuance of this move – from exact finger placement to critical timing issues – as if its creator were sitting right across from you in your living room.
On the One-Hand Popover DVD, you’ll find many never before seen, practical uses for this celebrated production. But that’s not all. You’ll also get:
All the technology that Aaron has developed with this dynamic move in the 10 years since he wrote The Paper Engine. New, different, and more powerful applications? You bet. The seamless direction of Wayne Houchin and Dana Hocking. When these directors collaborate with Aaron Fisher, you know you’re getting the very finest teaching available in magic today, combined with the very best direction available in the magic instructional market. The result is a teaching tool unlike any other.
Even if you’re scared of “advanced” sleight of hand, Aaron will guide you through every step of the learning process, ensuring that you’ll not only learn the One-Hand Popover, you’ll master it – and in far less time than you ever thought possible. One-Hand Popover
Running Time Approximately: 60mins

You’ll find the original descriptions of Fisher’s famous Nowhere Pass, The One-Handed Popover, and The Illusion Control.

fism2003 For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  FISM 2003 LECTURE NOTES by Aaron Fisher-$20.00
FISM 2003 was one of the coolest conventions in history. 3000 magicians from around the world gathered in Holland for a week of magic and fun. To commemorate the event, Aaron released his largest manuscript ever. At 48 pages, this booklet is packed with 12 diabolical items guaranteed to keep any serious student engaged for a year! Not only that, these items come directly from Aaron’s professional repertoire – so you know these aren’t just fad techniques. These sleights arm you with real tools to allow you to perform serious sleight of hand in the real world.
Highlights include:
* Hit the Road – Featured on Lee Asher and Paul Wilson’s fantastic DVD, the secret to this incredible, original color change has been debated about by hardcore card men for years. Now you’ll know not only the secret, but the precise mechanics of this hard hitting, visual effect.
* The Four-Card Revelation Secret – a favorite of Aaron’s lecture/seminar students, this trick will not only fool your audience, but teach you valuable lessons about focus and misdirection. In addition, it’s remarkably easy to do!
* Catching the Switch – Originally by John Mendoza, this incredibly powerful and difficult switch has been employed by an exclusive cadre of top card workers, including Bill Malone, John Carney and Darwin Ortiz. Aaron’s handling makes the switch easy – and makes it accessible for card men of every skill level. You’ll use this!
* Three Ways to Leave Your Lover – A strikingly visual display that allow you to show three jokers -then change them into three different cards!

 For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  SECRET WEAPON by Aaron Fisher-$10.00
Magicians who understand pacing within a routine of card effects know that the classic 52-on-1 card can be a highly effective “change of pace,” after a series of heavyweight card miracles. It’s light, it relieves tension among the audience, and it gives people a chance to catch their breath before even more serious astonishments to come. But what if the magician doesn’t allow the audience to catch its breath? What if the gag turns out to be more than a gag?
In The Secret Weapon, the magician has a card selected from the pack and “reveals” it via the standard 52-on-1 gaff: a special card with the images of all 52 cards printed on it. After the laughter (and groans) subside, the spectator inserts his selection anywhere into the pack. The magician then displays the 52-on-1 card once again, which now reveals the image of the selected card in exactly the same position as that of the real card in the real deck!
The Secret Weapon is a remarkably deceptive – and easy-to-do – piece of magic that will leave your spectators in a state of complete bewilderment, far beyond what they were expecting from a lighthearted little joke. And you can’t ask for more than that, in terms of preparing your audience for the next round of miracles.
* Virtually self working; allows you to concentrate on learning the touches and nuances that turn this trick into a miracle
* Practical – designed for real-world performance
* Easy – uses only a double turnover and a simple force
* Funny – a gag on top of a gag
* Powerful – guaranteed stunner and crowd-pleaser!

revolution For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  REVOLUTION DVD by Aaron Fisher-$35.00
First developed by Aaron in 1994, The Revolution is perhaps the easiest, most visual color change ever invented. This new DVD presents two distinct miracles made possible by this incredibly easy, visual transformation.
*Helter Skelter
Simply the most astounding, easy to perform color changing deck you’ll ever see – and it ends clean! This effect first appeared in The Paper Engine, but Aaron has been guarding this new, incredibly simple method for years. All the difficult sleight of hand has been removed – that means if you can do a double turnover, you’re ready for this trick right now.
*Revolution #9
You can perform this effect with any deck, any time. A wave of your hand causes a face-down selection to visibly reverse. But that’s just the beginning. With another wave, the entire deck turns face-down. Unlike the method taught in The Paper Engine, this new approach uses only basic sleight of hand. You’ll have to see the effect in action to believe it!
Over a decade in the making, The Revolution featuring Helter Skelter completes The Paper Engine Trilogy with Aaron’s strongest release to date. Aaron has been performing these effects for over 10 years.That means this magic is tested, verified and trustworthy. You’ll LOVE performing the magic on this DVD.
Join the Campers!
This DVD will give you a brand new experience. Much of this production was shot live at Sorcerer’s Safari Magic Camp – the world’s finest youth magic program. After you learn the effects on the DVD, you’ll get a front row seat to work with Aaron along with the other campers. You’ll hear real questions – and get information that will make watching this DVD the next best thing to being there.
The Effects Are Just the Beginning
As always, Aaron will show you how to put it all together. In addition to Helter Skelter and Revolution #9, you’ll learn invaluable lessons about how to clean-up tricks, switch decks on the fly and recover from any conceivable situation. After you see the DVD, you’ll use this information every time you do card magic.

LEE ASHER CARD MAGIC

SEX SELLS by Lee Asher-$12.00
Here are Lee Asher’s 1998 lecture notes with a bit of a twist. Instead of pictures of Lee doing card tricks, scattered throughout the book are photos of Lee with the girls of Porndex. The card material is great. There is a neat waterfall type flourish called Yo, Trey Sheik (a 3 card transposition from Lee and Aaron Fisher), B.S. Control (a multiple card control using Bluff Spacing), Three ideas for card workers, and a routine titled Old Gambler Vs. Young Card Punk (the classic plot with Lee’s twists). For serious card workers only!

PULP FRICTION LECTURE NOTES by Lee Asher-$12.00
Here are the Lee Asher lecture notes from his year 2000 workshop in Paris. “Pulp Friction” is a revolutionary move with cards that opens the door to new and exciting card routines. The applications are endless and the principle is devious. Contents include a new addition to Thunderbird (Lee’s new form of Cliff Green’s Phoenix Aces from his Five Card Stud Video). He then goes on to teach you the “Pulp Friction” move. Next is a Multi-peel control with no change in the bottom card. Next is Lee’s Red Black Separation and finally his Touchez card location and card counting routine. For serious card workers only!

THINKING OUT LOUD by Lee Asher-$12.00
Five more great card effects from Lee Asher. These are ideas that Lee has created from scratch and are great ideas and killer laymen effects. Perfect for the card guy who wants something new! Contents include The Ripper (a startling four card production), Tres Pass (World’s second fastest pass, perfect for other magicians), Asheresque (a lesson in timing and misdirection to enhance a simple sleight), Joking Around (an unexpected revelation leaving the spectator with a souvenir), Deuce Bag (A card changes while sealed inside a plastic sandwich bag). Just more great stuff from Lee Asher!!

LE ASHER by Lee Asher-$12.00
Here are the lecture notes from Lee Asher’s 1999 France tour. Contents include You Bet Your Asher (a reason for the six card repeat with a Poker theme and kicker ending), Magic Finger Box of Death (A card is formed into a box and your finger is inserted and then bent into impossible positions), Diving Board Double (a brand new technique for doing double lifts. Lee demonstrated these doubles for me in the studio a few years back and it was amazing!), and Making Ripples (a great ambitious card move that can be inserted anywhere in your existing routine).

CLOSE COVER BEFORE STRIKING by Lee Asher-$12.00
Close Cover Before Striking is not for the beginner by any means. Most of the material in here requires some knowledge of sleight of hand. Only those ready to attempt more difficult things should look on.
Rosie Palm – Have you ever wanted to get a card into your palm in a really slick way – where no one would notice? What if you could palm a card from where it was returned? Here is the answer! With Rosie Palm
, you can palm a card right out of the center of the pack! This is a very interesting new school approach to the old school center palm. If you perform in front of large groups of people, you might want to look into this.
Wipe your Ace- The deck is shuffled. You announce that one at a time, you will find each of the aces. You find three aces in very visual ways, but fail to produce the last ace. Immediately, you change your failure into a success by changing a wrong card into the final ace. After learning Wipe Your Ace
, there are no other ways you would want to find a four of a kind!
Face Down Silver Surfer- If you like Ambitious Card, look no further. This is the face down version of the Silver Surfer which originally appeared on The Five Card Stud
. This version is much easier to perform; even a beginner can quickly perform this one.
Resistance is Feudal- Instantly change any four cards into the four aces in the most magical way. Your audience will gasp when you perform this one. This effect also appears on the Hit the Road
DVD if you want to learn it visually.
That’s a Wrap- A borrowed $100 bill is wrapped around a deck of cards. In an instant, the bill vanishes, and then reappears wrapped around the four aces (or whatever cards you desire) in the center of the deck
! All close up magicians should perform this one…
Put your Treys in the Upright Position
- Imagine that the four threes visually rotate out of the deck and remain standing on the table without any visible means of support. This will make the people watching scratch their heads. This is impromptu magic at its best!

five card stud For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  FIVE CARD STUD DVD by Lee Asher-$30.00
Amazing card magic by this young card genius. New card effects such as Sibling, Slap Happy, Thunderbird, Joking Around, The Silver Surfer, Ambitious Explosion, and the Five Card Stud. All routines are performed and explained. Lee Asher is a young man to watch!!

one degree For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  ONE DEGREE by John Guastafero-$50.00
“I am excited about this book…This collection oozes style and substance from a true auteur.” -John Bannon, from the foreword
John Guastaferro embodies everything one admires in a magician: he is smooth but not flashy, soft-spoken yet in control. And he is an expert at crafting intelligent magic tricks. For the first time ever and exclusively with Vanishing Inc., John Guastaferro is releasing his first hardbound work-One Degree. With over 150 pages and 240 photos, this elegant, refined collection is comprised of 20 professional card routines and five essays. One Degree features some of the most artistic, refined close-up material to come around in ages.
One Degree explores the small, intentional improvements you can make to elevate the impact of your magic and help you connect more intensely with your audience. Too often we are led to believe that great results require massive changes. John Guastaferro believes that the extraordinary is closer than we think…just one degree away.
MORE PRAISE FOR ONE DEGREE:
“John is unquestionably one of the best minds in magic today…a master of the art.” -Jack Carpenter
“It has been a long time since I read a book where with every routine and every utility move, I said to myself, ‘That is going into my repertoire!’ One Degree is such a book and belongs in every cardician’s library.” -Allan Ackerman
“One Degree satisfies and illuminates to the nth degree!” -Jon Racherbaumer
“Few creators in our field are so gifted that they leave the patina of their ingenuity on everything they touch-John Guastaferro belongs to this select lot. To see his work brought together in a book, one as beautiful as this, is a joy.” -David Regal
“Many authors try to articulate their inherent enthusiasm for their own creations, often with considerable vividness and opulence. The risk is that the ideas being conveyed fall short of the build-up. John Guastaferro has taken that risk in One Degree-and has come up a winner! Even if he had presented his creations unvarnished and ungarnished, they would have provided their own hype and excitement. Readers will quickly recognize that John, perhaps uniquely, has constructed his tricks, first and foremost, with his spectators in mind.” -J. K. Hartman

private lesson For Card Men Only! newsletter archives  PRIVATE LESSON DVD by Larry Jennings-$30.00
Larry Jennings was one of the greatest sleight-of-hand artists who ever lived. Over the course of his 64 years, he developed many classic plots in card and coin magic. Lots of Larry’s magic has been described in books, videotapes, and DVDs. But, the books often failed to capture the nuances in his work, and he was usually nervous during the shooting of the formal videos and DVDs.
During the early 1970s, Larry left his home in Los Angeles-where he had moved to study with Dai Vernon-and relocated to Lake Tahoe, California, to open his own plumbing business. There he met Louis Falanga, who became Larry’s student and friend. One day in Louis’ living room, Larry allowed himself to be videotaped describing 12 of his favorite routines:
*Jennings’ Chop Cup
*Don Alan’s Lump of Coal (LJ. Version)
*Peripatetic Coins
*The Chinese Connection (explanation only)
*Cigarette Manipulations
*Larry’s Linking Ring Routine
*Coins Through the Table (with Pop-Up Move)
*L.J. Four Coins Across
*Coin Through Spectator’s Fist
*Open Travellers
*Nowhere and Everywhere Again
*The Visitor
This was the perfect setting for Larry-he was relaxed and in his prime, just making a personal video for a friend. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from a 30 year-old home video made in someone’s living room, and you can even hear someone frying up some bacon in the background. Considering that great material, we can forgive the technical shortcomings (though the tape-original Beta master-has been put through a state-of-the-art digital clean-up).
At the time, few of the routines on the videotape were in print. It is now a quarter-century later and Larry Jennings has been dead for a decade. Most of the items on the tape were later published, but some details and fine points were inadvertently omitted. Other routines, such as the Linking Rings, Lump Of Coal, Coins Through Table using the Pop-Up Move, were never published. All of the routines are superb examples of the finest in close-up magic and some of these, such as the Chop Cup routine, benefit from the best recorded explanations Jennings gave.
Having had the pleasure of watching a copy of this videotape many times over the years and now, through the generosity of Louis Falanga, you will too. So slip the DVD into your player and step back in time to when Jimmy Carter was President of the United States, men were visiting the moon on a regular basis, and Larry Jennings was knocking’em dead.

LITTLEMAN FULL Little Man and other new arrivals newsletter archives  LITTLE MAN by Paul Harris-$300.00 (Limited stock)
Even if you don’t want one of these, you HAVE to watch the viso demo of this itmes. It’s a scream!
Paul Harris, Rod Whitlock and Mark Allen (special thanks to Angelo Carbone)
Engineering and Product development by Rod Whitlock
A LUMP OF CLAY COMES TO LIFE!
You bring out a small gift bag and pull out a standard container of kid’s clay. You peel off the lid, pull out a lump of clay and let your audience freely squish, pull and play with it. You then help the audience mold the clay into a little man (or woman!) The only reason you help is to insure that his little proportions are correct.
YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS EMPTY. THERE’S NOTHING INSIDE THE CLAY!
A spectator then takes a final bit of clay and shapes it into a tiny clay heart. She warms the heart in her hands… and for a moment… she THINKS SHE MIGHT feel a tiny heart beat. She gently sticks the tiny clay heart onto Little Man’s chest. You then stand the little guy on the flattened empty bag. Someone gently blows on his heart. Then a moment later…unbelievably… Little Man takes his first step!
YES, HE’S MOVING FORWARD AND ACTUALLY WALKING… ONE ASTONISHING STEP AT A TIME!
This is where you have to see the on-line demo to experience the devastating wonderfulness of it all. His entire clay body VISIBLY TURNS AND LURCHES FORWARD with each dramatic step. And not that you’d want to, but you could leave the room, go out for a burger, and Little Man would keep on walking! And after about 6 or 7 steps, when Little Man finally stops, anyone can immediately SQUISH HIM INTO A BALL OR TEAR HIM APART… AND THERE’S NOTHING TO FIND BUT A LUMP OF CLAY!
* Incredibly Easy.
* No switches, palming, steals, etc.
* Your hands are always empty.
* Empty bag and container can be freely handled by audience at end of effect.
* Completely self-contained. Nothing attached to you or your clothes.
* Perform completely surrounded in any lighting conditions
* Re-sets in two to three minutes. * Same lump of clay can be used over and over.
Complete with DVD and extra clay.

 Little Man and other new arrivals newsletter archives  F1 WALLET by Jason Rea-$96.00 (BLUE BACKED)
OR
F1 WALLET by Jason Rea-$96.00 (RED BACKED)
Alakazam Magic Are Proud To Presents Jason Rea F1 No Palm/Palm Card To Wallet
The F1 Wallet Opens Up New Possibilities. Imagine getting a signed card in to a wallet That Has Been Held by Your Spectator.
The Load Is So Fast & Totally Sleight Free You Will Fool Yourself!!
Ask yourself this question. Does your current card to wallet routine allow the following?
A card is selected, signed & put back into the deck. You can now show that the selection has vanished.
You can even count the cards and there are only 51. The wallet has been in full view since before the card was even selected.
Yet when you open the zipper compartment the chosen card is inside.
Now imagine that whole routine is achieved with absolutely no sleight of hand at all. Yes read that again None, Zero sleight of hand. Not one little bit!! As you know here at Alakazam we design and market our own wallets including these best sellers The Mindspy, the Assassin & the Infinity. We also get loads of magicians sending in their wallet ideas but to date the F1 is the one that really impressed us. So much so that we are proud to have this join our range of best-selling magic wallets!!
The F1 is easy enough to be used by the beginner and looks so impossible that the pro’s will love it!!
Have you ever wanted a palm & no palm card to wallet that is designed to look and function as a standard day to day wallet, yet contains 2 killer lightning fast load functions!!
Well Jason’s wallet combined with his F1 gimmick allows just that. The wallet has been designed by Jason and Alakazam to ensure it’s a real world worker.
On the instructional DVD Jason takes you through some of his pet routines including:
*F1 Card to Wallet
This could be the cleanest and easiest no palm card to wallet ever. Jason’s Routine is Slick, fast and totally sleight free. You will not believe the speed in which the card appears in the wallet!
*F1 Repeat Card to Wallet
This effect is a commercial winner. A three phase routine with two selected cards. The first selection is found via the use of a long card (a lovely gag but never the less very impressive to your spectator)
The second card is found in the zipper compartment of your wallet. Now with the wallet in full view your spectator sees their signed card go in to the middle of the deck (they can even push it in themselves and it really is their signed card)
Now as quick as a flash you open the wallet and remove their card again!!! You will not believe how easy this effect is to perform. If you’re a working pro this could be the only card effect you need to use at the table.
*F1 Torn and Restored Card
What can I say apart from this looks impossible, it’s a real crowd pleaser with a killer knock out finale. It’s so easy to do and is ideal for walk-around and close up.
*F1 Multiple Selection
Another Commercial Winner
Three cards are selected and signed by your spectators. The cards are lost in the deck. After a little fun with your audience you open your wallet and remove all three cards from the zipper compartment. The wallet can be sitting on the table before the effect even starts!!!
Believe it or not all the effects above are accomplished with either minimal or no sleight of hand at all!!
This is by far the fastest, easiest no palm card to wallet ever.
The special F1 gimmick can be easily adapted to your preferred brand of playing card.
The F1 Comes with everything you need (apart from a long card for the gag) to start working it straight away!!!
NOTE: The “Play All” option on the DVD does not work. The DVD can be navigated through the Chapters.

MENTALISM:

 Little Man and other new arrivals newsletter archives  REDONKULOUS by Anthony Lindan-$60.00
“Every single time I have a chance to perform stand-up magic I present”REDONKULOUS!”. Audiences have responded to “REDONKULOUS!” as THE strongest piece of magic that I’ve ever performed. It is the show stopping effect that everyone talks about after my show. I’m truly excited to share this dynamic piece of mystery with magic community.”
Anthony Lindan
The “REDONKULOUS!” Routine
Before the show begins a spectator is asked to merely think of any word from either side of a large broadsheet from the local daily newspaper. She has a free choice of literally hundreds or possibly thousands of words. After mentally selecting a word the performer seals the newspaper in an envelope and the spectator takes it with her back to her seat. During the show the performer asks for the envelope from the spectator tears it open and removes the newspaper. The performer explains that the spectator is concentrating on a word from somewhere on the paper and it will be the audience’s job to find that very word. As impossible as it may seem. Tearing the newspaper into two pieces the performer asks a random audience member to choose either half to discard. The choice is made and the performer tears the remaining piece in half and asks another audience member to select a half to discard. The selection is made and the performer again tears the remaining piece in half asking an audience member to select either half to toss away, yet again. Left with a piece about four inches square the performer calls on a final helper from the audience to join him on stage. This spectator is asked to close his eyes and raise a finger and to drop it somewhere on the piece of paper. The spectator does this and is asked to open his eyes and without saying a thing to remember the word that he pointed to. The spectator is then handed a white board and marking pen, and asked to write the word in big bold letters on the board and keep it concealed from the audience’s view. While he is doing this the performer engages the original spectator thinking of a word and asks her to stand and for the first time call out her mentally thought of word in a loud voice. She states her word is, for example, “Flytrap!” The performer asks the spectator with the white board to turn the board around and show everyone the word he pointed to…it is also “Flytrap!”
“REDONKULOUS!” Considerations:
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses no impression devices.
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses no equivoque/magician’s choice.
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses no stooges, only random volunteers from the audience.
* There is no switch of the newspaper.
* “REDONKULOUS!” is not a prediction but powerful and improbable coincidence
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses any newspaper in any language.
* “REDONKULOUS!” pack small plays big – it easily fits in a briefcase.
* Perform “REDONKULOUS!” for audiences of 30 to 3000
* “REDONKULOUS!” uses audience participation
* “REDONKULOUS!” Uses a newspaper, white board and office supplies.
* “REDONKULOUS!” is an audience tested and polished routine honed over the past 10 years and hundreds of performances!
The “REDONKULOUS!” Package Includes:
* 2 Live Corporate Show Performances of “REDONKULOUS!”
* The history of Anthony’s creation and how “REDONKULOUS!” came to be the solid piece of mental theatre in his corporate keynote, team building and entertainment programs.

* How to prepare for a show, set-up at the venue and how to choose and pre-screen the best audience volunteers.

Nothing is left to the imagination and Anthony tips all of his years of hard work and experience, so that no stone is left unturned.
* A detailed walk-through of the routine with audience management advice and coaching, including how to reveal the word to generate the best audience response at the conclusion of the routine.
* The DVD is topped off with Anthony Lindan and Bill Abbott in an in-depth conversation about the “REDONKULOUS!” routine!
* Also included are Pre-Show and Performance scripts printed in a 11 x 17 folder for easy learning.

MENTALISM 101 Little Man and other new arrivals newsletter archives  MENTALISM 101 by Dennis Loomis-$30.00
The performer places a sealed envelope in full view, explaining that it contains a prediction of something that has not yet happened. Next, he spreads a deck of cards face up on the table and removes the joker. He gives the deck to a spectator who cuts it several times and then shuffles the deck. After cutting again if they wish, the spectator deals cards off of the top of the deck into a pile on the table. At any point that they wish, they stop dealing. The spectator removes two cards from either the top of the packet of cards on the table, or from the top of the deck remaining in their hand. They then choose just one of the cards. The performer reads their mind successfully and tells them which card they chose. But, that’s not all… the performer then opens the envelope and tips out one playing card. Nothing else remains in the envelope, and the card matches the card the spectator chose!
This incredibly strong effect defies explanation. A powerful combination of 6 different principals of magic and Mentalism is used. Each one is baffling in its own right, but together they create an unfathomable mystery.
Your Mentalism 101 set contains:
- A Bicycle Brand Koran Five Star Miracle Forcing Deck (101 Deck) with marked force cards.
- A “Loomis” style double envelope and instructions for making more.
- 2 Double Face Cards which match the force cards in the 101 Deck.
- Complete printed instructions on how to perform two versions of this mind boggling routine.
- A 35 minute instruction DVD on which Dennis Loomis performs and teaches the routine, and teaches you how to make the necessary double envelope.
- Instructions for another strong prediction routine utilizing double envelopes. (originally marketed as the “Triple Prophecy Box.”)
What People Are Saying:
“Mentalism 101 is an excellent mental effect. This is a welcome departure from the truncated, one page instructions that usually accompany dealer items. I compliment you on the very thorough and professional manner that you employed in preparing and packaging Mentalism 101.”
Larry Becker
“Mentalism 101 is both an excellent effect for the beginner in Mentalism and a potential stunner for the experienced performer. For the novice, Dennis Loomis has provided some of the best instructions for any effect I’ve ever seen. Mentalism 101 lives up to its name, as it’s almost a mini-course on several useful principles. For all, he’s provided an effect with much adaptability, even going so far as to include two different but useful methods of revealing a prediction. More than a simple effect, it is an effect you will actually use!”

THREETYPES FULL.1 Little Man and other new arrivals newsletter archives  THE THREE TYPES by Luke Jermay-$25.00
Luke Jermay is one of the most creative performers I have ever met.”
- Teller
Luke Jermay has performed his Questions & Answers routine throughout the world, including a two-year run on the Las Vegas Strip. “The Three Types” is the result of years of experimentation to create a powerful Q&A routine that could be performed in any environment with very little setup.
The most important aspect of “The Three Types,” though, is not it’s practicality, but the clever concept of “invisible billets” that lies beneath it. With a topical presentation surrounding personality tests (as made popular by websites and magazines), Luke has discovered techniques to reveal information that could apparently have never come from the brief information that the participants provide.
“The Three Types” is a triumph of careful routining and presentation, clever construction and classical methodology. Whether you’ve never performed a Q&A routine before or are looking for a contemporary, practical presentation for an existing routine, this complete ten-minute act is for you.
“Luke blows my mind with an amazing idea; an idea that really does make the billets truly invisible. It’s almost a complete act that enables you to stand on stage and appear simply to read people’s thoughts… All of this comes with a compelling presentation, engaging plot and a strong theatrical structure. What more could you want?”
- Marc Paul, from the foreword
“Be glad Jermay uses his mental powers for good!”

 Little Man and other new arrivals newsletter archives  OPEN PREDICTION PROJECT by Thomas Baxter-$55.00
Thomas Baxter’s The Open Prediction Project
In 1949 magician Paul Curry proposed an effect with playing cards that seemed impossible. Despite the best efforts of the top minds of his day, the effect became known as The Curry Unsolved Card Problem.
For almost 60 years mentalists and magicians have wracked their brains trying to find the perfect solution for Curry’s challenge, now known as The Open Prediction.
The Open Prediction Project is the largest collection of its kind in existence. It is a compilation of 51 unique and creative solutions to the Open Prediction problem. Performers such as Marc Paul, Michael Weber, Barrie Richardson, Patrick Redford, Mick Ayres and Hector Chadwick have offered their solutions for this 296 page hard-cover book; and these are just a few in a long list of creative and innovative contributors from around the globe.
In addition, The O.P. Project contains a detailed history of the evolution of the Open Prediction effect; commentary on the individuals who made this effect the legend that it has become; and a comprehensive appendix, listing variations of the Open Prediction that been published in the past.

 Little Man and other new arrivals newsletter archives  LOVE CARDS GIMMICKS AND DVD by Craig Petty-$40.00
Love Cards – A Book Test In Your Wallet
For years the book test has been one of the most powerful effects available to mentalists. Now this classic effect has been brought bang up to date with a version that you can literally carry in your wallet.
A number of ‘love cards’ are taken out from a wallet and examined by the audience. While the performers back is turned, the spectator thinks of a number between one and ten and takes the card at that number. With a word having been freely selected from the chosen card, they are all returned to the wallet as the performer turns back around to reveal the word that is merely being thought of. As an added kicker, the performer can even reveal the thought of number!
* No forcing
* No fishing
* Nothing written down
* No memorization
* Everything examinable at every point in the routine
* No multiple out system
* Instant reset
* Very easy to perform – Self working!
Includes bonus handling and multiple live performance videos.

* DAVID’S ESP ROUTINE – A self-working three-phase routine using an ESP deck. David has used this effect for years and you’ll love the “hands-off” feel of it.
* DAVID’S ESP TRICK – This is a great example of “Apparent Spectator Control,” wherein the spectator believes that she is controlling everything when, in fact, she controls nothing.
* FLIP FLOP – A spectator holds a packet of 5 ESP cards and makes free decisions as to which cards are flipped over. At the end of all this flipping and flopping, you show that you’ve predicted the outcome in advance!
* ESP WITH PLAYING CARDS – This is a three-phase routine using a borrowed deck of playing cards. There is a lie detector test and then a called-out revelation, and David caps it all off with a terrific sandwich effect.
* HOY BOOK TEST – This is mentalism at its strongest! Far and away David’s favorite book test, and you’ll see why — anytime, anywhere, from any book!
* PICK-A-DATE – Easy to do and a wonderful effect. Two random quarters, two spectators, and one amazing moment of magic!
* JUMBO 8 CARD BRAINWAVE – A stage-size version of a close-up classic!
* THE ENDLESS CHAIN GAME – While this isn’t really mentalism, it is included here because it is so much fun to perform!
* THE GREY ELEPHANT IN DENMARK – An old classic that David has used to great success. You’ll use this in close-up, on stage, even on the radio!

vectra line Norm Nielsen items & more newsletter archives  VECTRA LINE INVISIBLE THREAD by Steve Fearson-$15.00
This is the dawn of a new era in levitations. Never break your thread again! Steve Fearson’s Vectra Line is the strongest invisible thread ever offered to the magic community.
A single strand can hold nearly 1/4 POUND! That’s a full deck of playing cards!
Now, for the first time you can safely levitate large items like CD’s, coat hangers, scizzors, you name it.
Vectra Line is as invisible as some of the thinnest threads on the market but is stronger than all of them.
Q. Is Vectra Line stronger than Kevlar or Spectra thread?
A. Yes, substantially stronger.
Q. Can I refill my existing reel with Vectra Line?
A. Yes, you can refill any thread reel with Vectra Line.
Q. Are there any drawbacks to using Vectra Line?
A. Vectra Line can be difficult to cut with a scissors. They need to be very sharp. Alternatively you can use a razor blade.
Each package of Vectra Line Invisible Thread includes access to downloadable resources including usage tips and even a full routine utilizing the famous Fearson Hookup, recognized universally as the best way to float an object… period!
Fearson’s Vectra Line is the result of several years of research and development. Ultra high-tech fibers are used primarily by the military and space programs and are generally unavailable to the public at large. We are proud to bring you this exciting product, at an affordable price.
Each length of Vectra Line contains over 100 individual invisible fibers. So one 20 foot length equals well over 2000 feet of super strong invisible thread!
“When it comes to strong invisible thread there’s always been a juggle between strength and invisibility. As a general rule the stronger it is the more visible the thread becomes. Steve Fearson’s Vectra line defies that rule by being just as invisible as any of the more commonly used invisible threads. Yet it’s so much stronger. Not only is it allowing me to be more confident that it won’t break during a performance, it’s also allowing me to do a wider range of effects with heavier objects.”
- Expert thread worker Ron Jaxon
“The Vectra Line thread is the thread of the FUTURE, stronger (much stronger), finer and much more invisible than Kevlar. In fact I’ve never used Kevlar simply because I felt that it is not as invisible as the traditional threads, but the Vectra Line has finally solved this problem and I am definitely going to start using the Vectra Line, replacing my thread work with it. This is really powerful when combined with the Master Levitation System!! Now it’s time for some real close up miracles! Well done Steve for keeping one step ahead of all others when it comes to levitations.”
- International Illusionist Brian Role’

goebel.1 Norm Nielsen items & more newsletter archives  GOEBEL, THE MAN WITH THE MAGICAL MIND With DVD by William Rauscher-$45.00
The Story of a Conjuror and Costumer with a foreword by Jim Steinmeyer In the 1970′s and 1980′s George Goebel presented a grand, classical magic production called the Goebel Magical Revue. With a cast and staff of 35, he astonished lay audiences and received accolades from fellow magicians. Those shows wowed both Jim Steinmeyer and Lance Burton, each of whom contributed to this book. Goebel’s life and career in Baltimore, Maryland, brought him into contact with countless magicians, including Milbourne Christopher, Hen Fetsch, Doug Henning, and Phil Thomas. His knowledge of Howard Thurston, Thomas Chew Worthington III, Henry Ridgley Evans, and magicians around the country is extensive. His A. T. Jones Costume Company has 300,000 costumes for musicals, plays, and operas. It’s housed in a three-story building, which also serves as a haven for some very unusual friends. Goebel’s private collection of magic and escape restraints is exceptional. Goebel tells how he gained experience working with Milbourne Christopher on the Jackie Gleason and Garry Moore shows-assisting with the Vanishing Elephant plus rehearsals for Christopher’s Bullet Catch. His remembrance of the Baltimore eccentric magician Dantini is illuminating and touching. Read about Goebel’s escape work in Japan, Baltimore magic history, and his detailed account of building and presenting a full evening magic show that included a 10-member dance ensemble under the leadership of a former Radio City Music Hall Rockette.
8 1⁄2 by 11 – Cloth Bound – Color Dust Jacket – Over 200 Pages – Over 380 Photos and Illustrations Including 12 Color Pages – A complimentary DVD containing segments of a 1982 Goebel show, film clips, and news interviews plus views inside the Jones Costume Co.
