Take A Seat by Wayne Dobson and Alan Wong

10/30/2019

0 Comments

 
Wayne Dobson turns his attention to the modern classic of stage mentalism, 'The Chair Test', with predictably powerful results. For good measure he has provided a close-up version to further extend the practicality of your purchase.

By subjecting two classics of mentalism, 'Pseudo Psychometry' with 'The Chair Test', to the Dobbo treatment, you have a powerful stage, parlor and close-up routine that plays big. And, it uses props that will fit into your pocket.

No this, not that, no messing. No electronics, magnets, stooges, pre-show, wallets, or gizmos. Just a direct, high- impact effect brought about by simple, lo-tech means. In other words, all the hallmarks of 'The Dobson Approach'!

You receive all required quality props including the bag, the balls, the plastic color discs and matching color chips for the close up version, and detailed PDF instructions with illustrations.

By Forces Unseen by Stephen Minch

Rarely does card magic come along as strikingly original as that found in this book. When it first appeared in 1993, Ernest Earick's name was little known, and some questioned if the ground-breaking sleight-of-hand described could be done deceptively. The answer, of course, was YES, and By Forces Unseen became an underground classic. Out of print for years, copies have been snapped up, fetching prices of hundreds of dollars.

Among the effects taught in this truly remarkable volume you will find chosen cards that fly from the deck when you clap your hands, cards that materialize at your fingertips when someone concentrates on them, selections that pop from the middle of the pack with a flick of your wrist...and 17 other extraordinary events.

Behind the shimmering veil of magic you will discover a rich body of innovative sleight-of-hand that includes motionless one-handed bottom palms, slow-motion fingertip card steals, indetectable palm-to-palm transfers, refined riffle-shuffle work and more.

Seldom does one find a work of such determined invention and artistry. If you delight in baffling card magic and exquisite sleight-of-hand-in magic that puts you a running cut ahead of your competition-you'll want By Forces Unseen.

Supa Chupa Scoopa by Steve Rowe

I’m sure you always wanted to do magic with lollipop, they’re something everybody is aware of, they look natural and kids love them! Steve is known for creating magic with sweets, like chocolate bars, tic tac, lollipops and “organic” stuff.

Here, a card is selected, you introduce a lollipop, they have their card in their hands, you smash the card (or they smash) with the lollipop and suddenly, the card is in the sticker on the lollipop. When they turn the card around, it has the Chupa Chups logo printed on it, where the index was before.

​It’s easy to do, and you have nothing to carry around except a gimmicked card and the special lollipop.

Magic Review - SPARK by Kelvin Chow

A candle that lights up all by itself has always been a great magical moment, especially if your performance has a mysterious nature.

Over the years, we have seen many self-lighting candles on the market, but they are either too large or cannot be used close up at all.

The goal is to design a self-lighting candle that is so natural looking that it would not raise any suspicious from the spectator. Orange Tree has spent time to refine all the aspects they can think of and with over a year of working, they are proud to present to you their latest product - Spark.

Enlarge by SansMinds Creative Lab is a commercial effect that's designed to surprise people with what they believe they already know about technology.

Technology has such an intimate relationship with people in this day and age. 


People practically live off their phone.

Now you can combine a spectator's borrowed phone with a card trick that leaves them with an unbelievable souvenir. ​

Pocket Voodoo

10/18/2019

You draw a stick man onto a business card to represent a victim, which is left in the hands of a spectator.

An innocent passer by is shown a collection of voodoo cards, with voodoo dolls that have pins in various places. The stack of cards is placed aside.

The innocent party is now asked to name someone they wish to direct some 'bad mojo' towards. Let's say they go with 'Gordon'. They write the name on a piece of paper, and then select one of the cards at random.

The ritual is now complete, and the chosen card is turned over - it shows (for example) a voodoo doll with a pin in the chest.

The paper is touched to a flame to complete the ritual, and the name vanishes in a brilliant flash of fire!

You gingerly turn over the 'victim' - the business card placed aside at the beginning, and show that the stick man now has a serious burn, right in the centre of his chest!

Number 4 Envelope by Blake Vogt

Hand your spectator the envelope. They open it themselves and take out any one of FOUR options. This envelope can covertly conceal 4 different outs. Depending on which way you start to open the envelope and hand it to your spectator, they get to do the rest.

You can also use this envelope as an extremely deceptive switching device for playing cards, pieces of paper and even money. The possibilities are endless.

Visualies Gaff System by Mechanic Industries

​The gaffs from the Optricks Red Deck broke new ground, opening up another dimension of magical possibilities. But the new Visualies Gaff System picks up where they left off... and then some. This isn't just another gaff deck, it's a whole new system -- a totally new way to approach gaff cards.

It's the perfect extension of the Optricks Red Deck. However, you can use it all on its own, straight out the box with no other deck required. Contained within are 17 core concepts with our trademark visual style. They're not just amazing standalone tricks, you can combine nearly all of the effects into a cohesive routine. Unlike other gaff decks, this is focused on just a few key cards, mainly the Queen of Hearts, but also the 4 of Clubs, allowing you to combine the various tricks like never before. There are enough face cards of different values that enable you to spread to show a 'fair' deck, should the need arise.

All of the effects are easily achievable with a bit of practice, regardless of your skill level. Now you can apply the Visualies approach to some classic plots in magic such as the Triumph, Twisting the Aces, Transpositions, Sandwiches and Torn & Restored.
