magiciansnightmare

Jari Santala’s Magician’s Nightmare. A total sellout at this year’s Society of American Magicians’ Convention. Everyone who saw it bought one!Magician’s Nightmare is definitely not your grandfather’s Professor’s Nightmare! It starts out in the regular way. Show three ropes. One short. One long. One medium. Show them openly and cleanly.
A little magic and the three ropes are now all the same length! So far, it’s nothing new. But, just you wait.
With no funny counts or moves, you now show all three ropes, at the same time, and they are all exactly the same length. They really are!

Magician’s Nightmare uses no gimmicked ropes. No magnets. No snaps. No wax. You can toss the ropes out at the end. They really are all the same length! The clever gimmick that makes it work is like none you have ever seen before! We have worked for over a year to bring this item to market, and we are extremely proud of it.

You get the ropes, the special gimmick and a CDROM (for Mac or PC) that includes both the full presentation and the instructions by Jari Santala.

You will love this trick!

shrinkyink

Shrinky-Ink is clever, visual, and unique. What happens? Exactly what is described: You show two Bic® Round Stic pens to be identical. You uncap one showing nothing inside (except a “black hole”). When you push the pen into the cap, it goes DEEPER than physically possible. Comparing the pens side-by-side shows that it is shorter by ONE INCH. You continue pushing the pen into the cap, showing that it is now TWO inches shorter. One final push makes the pen a full THREE INCHES SHORTER. Is it hidden in the cap? Is there some kind of mechanism involved? Hey, can I examine that little pen? Yes, you can! In fact, you IMMEDIATELY hand out BOTH pens and there is absolutely nothing to find! The pen really is three inches shorter and there is no clue to the secret! You can be sure your audiences have never seen anything like this, because there’s never been anything like this! Harlan does it again! You receive the pens and fully-illustrated instructions (including the complete script and easy handling).

67 – Early Marlo by Edward Marlo (Book)

earlymarlo

A Review by David Acer

As with Early Vernon, the good folks at Magic Inc published the first edition of Early Marlo in the 1960’s, with the intention of preserving a number of Ed’s 1940’s monographs that were in danger of being lost to posterity. Frankly, having now read these, I feel that most would have been better served by allowing them to become the stuff of legend, rather than the object of study. The exception to this is the fourth and final chapter, which we’ll talk more about in a moment.

“Pasteboard Presto,” the first manuscript/chapter, contains nine card routines, all of which make use of bent or crimped cards. There are three approaches to locating a selected card, one in which the card is found reversed in the deck (the mechanics for this are described in one terse sentence – “Slip the top card [selection] to the bottom, reversing it in the action, cut the deck bringing it to the center.”). There is also an obsolete version of “Everywhere and Nowhere” (with no credit given to the originator of the plot), two remarkably uninteresting four ace productions, and a few other fairly unmagical effects involving selections.

The second manuscript/chapter, “Amazing, Isn’t It?,” begins with a diatribe by Marlo against mental magic, gimmicked cards, and tricks requiring pre-arranged decks. I might be more inclined to accept this if it weren’t for his presumably sincere claim that his material is “designed chiefly to entertain the layman.” I appreciate the fact that we are living in a different time, but even taking this into account, I just don’t see any of these tricks engaging an audience. Moreover, in the Foreword, Marlo rails against “counting tricks” (“This kind of monkey business puts everyone to sleep after two deals.”), then he opens the manuscript with a trick called (no joke!) “Card Counted To,” in which a spectator is required to deal cards no fewer than THREE TIMES before he arrives at his selection!

Of somewhat greater interest in this second chapter is “Marlo’s Think A Card,” an impromptu three-card prediction that makes effective use of the One-Ahead Principle, and “No Palm Aces to Pocket,” a clever (and somewhat addictive) technique for delivering one or several cards onto your inside jacket pocket that foregoes the use of palming. Apart from that, we are presented with more B-level plots and laboured handling.

“Marlo’s Discoveries” is the third manuscript/chapter, and contains 21 different methods for revealing a selected card. In its time, this was likely of some use to the reader, if only as a reference, but by today’s standards, these techniques are extremely uninteresting. None of the revelations are particularly visual, and indeed, most are downright boring. Marlo’s shortcomings as a writer also come to the fore here, and you’re likely to find several of the entries incomprehensible. Finally, the crediting is non-existent, except for a brief comment about these discoveries having been “collected” over the years.

Things finally pick up (and substantially at that) in the fourth and final chapter, “Oddity and Other Miracles.” “Oddity,” the “title track,” and the next trick that follows it, offer an interesting exploration of effects that can be accomplished with a deck comprised of 26 red-backed cards and 26 blue-backed cards, including Brainwaves, All-Backs, color-changes, and more. “The Perfect Stop Trick” is a brilliant and self-working method for allowing a spectator to count down in a seemingly random manner to his very own selection in the deck. “A Simple Ace Routine” offers an impromptu mathematical four-Ace location that is surprisingly magical. “Sympathetic Coincidence” is an excellent no-force, no-gimmick prediction effect wherein a freely chosen card from a red-backed deck matches a blue-backed card that was placed aside at the outset. “Double Trouble” is a killer divination of two chosen cards, in which a deck is divided in half, two spectators each take a card from a half, these cards are then returned, then the halves are shuffled together, one face up, the other face down. The magician then spreads the deck and is able to divine both selections from the jumbled mess (this is a real fooler!). In addition, there are three You Do As I Do’s, a pair of Card Stabs, and a few other less interesting routines, including several using products that were popular at the time, such as a mechanical Vanishing Pip Card, and something called Pip Liquid, which is rubber cement with a drop of India Ink stirred in (this, when applied to cards, can be made to look like a pip, but “vanishes” with a touch of the thumb).

Despite the questionable usefulness of the first three chapters, and Marlo’s marginal writing ability, Early Marlo is worth your attention for the final chapter alone, particularly given the low price of the book

Comes with gimmicked Bicycle back card, instructions, several different ideas for presentation, and also a detailed routine. This is a single gimmicked card only- use alone or with any regular Bicycle deck.
This is an easy trick, but because it involves using a cigarette, we recommend this trick (if a cigarette is used) for adults only. However, it can also be performed with a drinking straw, a rolled up dollar bill, or any other rod that fits, and would therefore be appropriate for Ages 13 to 17 as well.

 
What you’ll get:

  • printed instructions
You supply the regular cigarette.
You supply a Poker size regular Bicycle deck (optional) if you want to start the trick by removing the gimmicked card froma  regular deck.

Set a straw in the mouth of the bottle. Walk away. Slowly, the level of liquid goes down until there is just a tiny amount of liquid left in the bottle. Looks like a ghost drank the whole bottle!Just about any liquid trick you’d want to do (as long as it involves vanishing liquid) can be done with the Ghost Bottle!A really well-made prop. To look at it, you’d think it was a real Coke bottle!

    87 – Lee Asher’s Catch 33

    catch33

    Catch 33: three card monte

    3 cards.

    2 of them lose.

    1 wins.

    Simple….

    “..easy! “… Or so your audience thinks.

    Each time they play the game with you, the audience falls into bright traps you’ve set. Thanks to you, they get an authentic lesson on the con game that isn’t a game at all. Grateful and overwhelmed by your jaw dropping performance, they thank you with the sound of their hands slamming together in excitement.

    Get ready for praises galore!

    Using this beautifully choreographed routine, you will continually manipulate your spectators into choosing the wrong card. They just can’t help themselves.

    The Hype: This discussion of the basic Monte technique is perfect for those that have never heard of Three Card Monte, and for those with years of Monte experience that need a refresher.

     

     

     

     

     

    From there, you will learn The Grecian Turn. This simple original sequence has fooled many of the world’s finest magicians on my travels throughout Europe, Asia and all of the Americas. I get more comments about this sequence than any of the others.

     

     

      

    Finally, you’ll learn Ripped. With roots in the classic torn corner plot, many have said this sequence alone is worth the price of this e-manuscript.

     

     

      

    *Plus you will get two more phases, the Sosi Switch and Kaiser Con. They are guaranteed to fool spectators with con game psychology never used in a magical context before. You have not seen anything like this before.

     

     

      

    You will be completely satisfied with these clever ruses. I promise.

     

     

      

    **I also share my inspirational story of how Catch 33 helped me get hired at Caesar’s Magical Empire on the Las Vegas strip.

     

     

      

    Catch 33 borrows actual moves taken from the real street con and combines them with an entertaining magical approach and excellent psychology. It will surpass all of your expectations.

    DVDWGMONEYMAGIC-FULL

     

    Imagine the best magic, the best magicians, and the best producers all in one place.

     

     

     

    Coins have always held a prominent place in magicians’ repertoires but many have missed the wealth of magic potential in paper currency. As it turns out, the sheer variety of plots possible with paper money far exceeds what can be done with its metal counterparts.

    On this volume, you’ll discover a wide assortment of tricks, routines and stunts with paper money that is certain to amaze and amuse any audience. What’s more, many of them can be done totally impromptu with nothing more than a borrowed bill or two.

    You’ll learn a stunning bill transposition that occurs right in the spectator’s hand from Michael Ammar, torn and restored (and even burned and restored) bill routines from Jeff McBride, Dan Harlan and Tom Mullica, and topological miracles from Jay Sankey, Michael Close and Rober Neale. There’s guaranteed spectator interest when you increase the denomination of bills, such as in Scotty York’s routine, or even change plain paper into real money, as in Mark Leveridge’s brilliant trick.
