Optix by Tobias Dostal and Ellusionist

1/27/2020

0 Comments

 
What is it?
Borrow a spectators phone, then hand them your phone to film the magic... In an instant, their phone vanishes into thin air. No sleeves. No pulls. GONE.
When they ask where their phone is, you point to their own hands. The phone they've been holding the entire time is THIER phone.
That means they filmed their phone vanishing, on their own phone. It's only confusing because the laws of science shouldn't allow it to be possible.
Optix was, without a doubt THE #1 TRICK OF MAGIC LIVE.
 During this convention, Tobias Dostal was constantly surrounded by the biggest names in magic. Daniel Garcia, Doug McKenzie, Dan White, Kenner, Patrick Kun, Garrett Thomas, John Stessel... 


"Optix is what magic should feel like."
- Danny Garcia
 
"Very few effects get me excited about the future of magic... THIS ONE DOES."
- Garrett Thomas 
 
"That's the BEST magic trick I've seen in my entire life." 
- John Stessel

Totally Free Will by Mark Chandaue

1/23/2020

0 Comments

 
​Totally Free Will is a deluxe 176 page beautifully bound Collectors edition that has been fully illustrated by Phill Smith and beautifully produced by Haresign Press. With a foreword by Deddy Corbuzier himself and contributions from Mick Wilson, Steve Drury, Stephen Young, Drew Backenstoss, Mark Elsdon, Michael Murray and Patrick Redford.

Inside these pages are 15 approaches to the ‘Free Will’ premise. 

The routines cover a variety of different presentations and methods that all build on the original ‘Free Will’ concept but often lead to versions that feel like completely new effects. 

Included are presentations based on graphology readings, voice reading, influence, predictions and games of Rock, Paper, Scissors! There is even a version that can be performed over the phone. 

In the title effect every choice is completely free, the prediction is completely unambiguous, and the participant holds the top of the prediction before any choices are made and never lets go – yet still it is shown to be correct!

"By using a couple of techniques and principles together Mark has come up with a routine I would love to perform… your participant can literally do anything, choose anything, change their mind, swap with you – or with the item they freely chose to discard earlier, why not?? Change their mind again, and again if they wish…. and yet: you have predicted the final outcome of this game.” – Phedon Bilek

Totally Free Will really is the most comprehensive work on the ‘Free Will’ plot to date.

FADEAWAY deck by Chris Philpott

1/21/2020

Imagine a deck of cards S-L-O-W-L-Y fading from normal to totally blank!

Ralph W. Hull's Mental Photography Deck is considered one of, if not THE greatest tricks decks of all time. Now Chris Philpott (creator of The 100th Monkey) has modernized it to create a slow-motion, hyper - visual transformation from a normal to a blank deck!

There are a number of different routines, such as starting with a blank deck, starting with a real one and even finding a wrong card (Error 404: Card Not Found) which causes the deck to crash, leaving only their chosen card!

Easy to do!

No sleight of hand needed!

Detailed video instructions.

Arrow by sansminds

Usually, magic effects are most powerful with a presentation, but there are some good exceptions. Arrow is one of those exceptions.

The ink comes alive, and the arrow moves in an impossible manner. Not only is the visual strange and entertaining to watch, but it's also highly adaptable to your 'finding card' routine, making it a working magician's best friend.

We're usually all about street magic, but this one kills in any scenario you can think of, including parlor and formal venues.

This is not your ordinary ink effect.

​This, is Arrow.

Digits of Deception by Alan Rorrison & Big Blind Media

​Tricks taught:

RORY’S RISE - Alan’s take on the legendary ‘Raise Rise’ by Ray Kosby! A signed selection is left sticking out near the bottom of the deck. With just a shake, and in FULL VIEW, the outjogged card disappears back into the deck and pops back out near the top. Another shake and that signed selection is on top! Alan teaches you how to make the ingenious (and ridiculously simple) gimmick to make this miracle all but self working!

KEY THING - a borrowed ring… a borrowed key… and yet, impossibly, you are able to squeeze the head of the key through the clearly too small opening of the ring! Super easy to do - looks like a miracle.

FRIES WITH THAT - the cleanest McDonalds Aces you’ve ever seen. Four Aces are lost in four packets. One by one those Aces vanish, only to reappear grouped together in the final packet. Then (and this is where it gets gooooood), that packet is INSTANTLY re-spread to show the Aces have gone again. Where? The other cards are spread across the table and the Aces are back (and face up!). Alan will teach you how to make the sneaky gimmick that makes this trick  so fooling. It’s a STUNNER!

BUD’S BOTTLE - ready for an impromptu signed coin in bottle? How about with a borrowed coin and borrowed bottle! An impromptu masterpiece. This is CLASS!

STATIC - A selected card sits atop the deck. You rub your forearm (to get some ‘static’), and then hover your fingers over the deck. Utterly impossibly that chosen card POPS straight off the deck and adheres to your fingers. It then slowly sinks back onto the other cards. You can even get your spectator to hold THEIR fingers over the deck and watch the selection shoot up as if magnetised. Can be performed impromptu, as Alan teaches you how to make the brilliant gimmick on the fly. Works with ANY deck. Truly shocking visual magic with cards!

SHARPIE BEND - a sharpie held at the fingertips visibly softens in the centre and slowly bends into a right angle. You uncap the strange looking pen and hand it out to be examined (cos it can be!). Learn how to make this fun, visual gimmick in seconds at home!

ACES OUT - a self working, mental miracle. You remove the four Aces from the deck and have your spectators decide on one. When they check the packet of aces, the one they named is GONE! Where? The deck is spread and it’s the only face up card in the centre of the spread. Oh, and when the spread is reversed ALL THE CARDS ARE BLANK!

BE SAFE - You show the audience your lighter with the regulation ‘NO UNDER 18’s’ sticker glued on. Using your thumbnail under the sticker you demonstrate how a quick snap to the side can actually cleanly remove that warning label. Not a good thing right? So, right in front of their eyes, you throw the sticker at the lighter… and it RE-ADHERES! You hand them the lighter to examine (because you CAN!).

Bucket List by Vinny Sagoo

1/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Showing a bunch of ripped up photos, you SPIN a yarn about places that are still on your bucket list like the Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Statue of Liberty.

The spectator mixes up all the photos and lays them down in a 4 x 4 square. You then turn over random photos so that some are face up and others are face down.

The spectator then folds the photos on top of each other in a random fashion, mixing them up further, until there is only ONE pile.

You open your plastic case and the prediction states that there will be 4 face down photos. When you separate the face up and face down photos, you were CORRECT, only 4 are face down!

You then turn the prediction over to show a picture of the statue of liberty and when the 4 photos are assembled, they form the statue of liberty... WELL, apart from one piece that is from the Eiffel Tower.

It has gone wrong...

You then turn the prediction card over again and it now matches EXACTLY, even with the WRONG section!
