Featuring the hilarious Magic Mouse. Quentin Reynolds is a professional magician whose specialty is children's shows. The routine taught on this DVD/Video is the highlight of his show -- a polished five-minute act which is accomplished with nothing more than an ordinary pocket-handkerchief. You are treated to a live performance in front of a classroom of children where Quentin brings the kids to a frenzy using this handkerchief routine and the many gags and touches which make it a masterpiece. Following the performance you are taught everything you need to know to perform the act. The routine is a brisk and upbeat sequence of effects that begins with a stretching handkerchief, a series of knots and culminates with the animation of the Magic Mouse. It is adaptable for most performing situations such as stage, parlor, close-up, walk-around, kids, adults, yet it still fits in your pocket and is very easy to do. Effects and sequences taught: The Stretching Hank: A handkerchief is stretched to twice its original size. The Jumping Hank: A handkerchief repeatedly jumps out of your hands and into the audience. Karrell Fox's Knifty-Knot: No matter how hard you try to tie a knot in the handkerchief it keeps disintegrating. Karrell Fox's No Not: You finally make a knot but it magically unties when a spectator blows on it. Stand-Up Hank: The handkerchief is made to stand on end and fall on command. The Magic Mouse: The handkerchief is folded into a hat, an iron, an earring, a moustache, and finally into a mouse. The mouse is wound up and begins to wiggle its tail. The mouse seems to come to life as it runs up and down your arm, around your neck, and then leaps into the audience — making them scream with fright. The mouse's tail is pulled and it turns back into a handkerchief. The handkerchief is folded and put back in your pocket. The act is now completely reset for your next show. In addition to the above you are also taught: Frank Garcia's Iron Gag, Stewart Judah's Watchwinder Gag, tips from George Sands, Harry Blackstone, Sr., Dan Garrett, Martin Gardner, and tons of jokes, gags, by-play, tidbits, and advice which can only be learned from years of continuous performance. Includes a discussion on making the routine even stronger and much more. $ 24.95 Page 1264/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 7 More Secrets by J.C.

In mid 1992, Gary Ouellet taught his handling for “MacDonald’s Aces” to Alain Choquette, so that Alain could use the routine to close his fifth successful television season. One week later, Alain also performed it in the middle of his live stage show, before a crowd of 1000 spectators, using a hand-held television camera and a large projection screen. At the climax of the routine, 1000 spectators rose to their feet and gave Alain a standing ovation - in the middle of his performance - after a card trick! Soon after, David Copperfield adopted the routine, then adapted it for his 15th CBS special! The effect follows along classical lines: The magician cuts a deck of cards and produces the four aces. Each ace is then covered with three indifferent cards. Three of the aces vanish from their piles and reappear together in one pile. What makes this version different? It will not require months of practice. The handling is economical, deceptive and pleasing to the eye. The presentation offers a beautiful emotional hook. And finally, it is quite simply exquisite magic! This is the most elegant approach ever to one of the world’s greatest card tricks! You are supplied with a 42 page booklet, lavishly photo-illustrated in the Masters of Magic tradition, plus a DVD companion video showing Gary performing the routine, followed by an Alain Choquette performance.

Volume One Includes: *Mylar Mystery: A yellow spot on a piece of mylar turns into a three-dimensional ball which is bounced, examined and then put back into the sheet to become a flat spot. The effect is repeated several times with each occurrence becoming more impossible. *Zone Zero: A ball vanishes every time it enters a hole in the center of a stiff board and reappears when you reach inside the opening to get it. Perfect Package: A flat cardboard box is removed from an envelope, unfolded and a ball rolls out. The ball is put back, the box is once again folded and placed back in the envelope. *Impossible Shuffle: A signed card is returned to the deck and the deck is shuffled into the card case. When the spectator cuts the case their card appears under it. The case is now opened to show that the entire deck has vanished. *A Word In Mind: A thought-of word is written on a playing card and the card is lost in the deck. You can now name the word with one-hundred percent accuracy. *Spectator ESP: A spectator touches a card in a fan while a second spectator names that card while her back is turned. *I.O.U: Under the pretense of a bet that you can make the deck float off the table you shuffle the cards in a unique way so at the end they spell the letters I.O.U. *Satan\'s Selections & Shuffles: A multiphase card routine where two signed selections are lost in the deck using some wild looking shuffles and cuts.

The spectator names a number between one and five. When they count to that number they find their selection. *Slop Triumph: A unique two phase routine where cards are shuffled face-up and face-down. When the deck is spread the cards are all facing the same way. The first phase incorporates a selection. *Tracker Jacks: Two jacks are placed face up and a signed selection is placed face down in different parts of the deck. When the deck is spread the selection is found sandwiched between the two jacks. *Any Card, Any Number: A signed selection appears at a freely thought of position in the deck. *Similarities: A multiphase routine where you divine the names of selected cards with the final kicker having an indifferent card change into the selection. *Bowed Deck Display (performance only): A wild looking flourish with a warped deck of cards. --- Sleights taught: Panoramic Shift, The Canceled Count, Sidewinder Shift (with many variations), Sleeving From The Deck, Snap Sleeving, De-Sleevery, Vani-Verse Move, The Ginza Shift, Short Wave Pass, Slop Shufle, Table Reverse, Sneak Peek and many unnamed original sleights, subtleties and techniques.

The cards are now used to produce a total of twelve coins which are dumped into the spectator\'s hand. *Ace, Two, Three, Four Trick: An ace, two and a three are removed from the deck as you mention that you are doing the Ace, Two, Three, Four Trick. Before the spectator can ask where is the four, you shake the three cards and four large coins appear on their backs. *Miser\'s Miracle: Andrus\' classic routine where coins magically appear as two cards are rubbed together. As a finale one of the cards is torn in half and a coin is produced from between the two halves. The half card is torn again and a large coin appears from between two of the quarter cards. The hands are shown empty throughout the routine. *Startling Color Change: Andrus\' technique for the color change is considered the most beautiful in magic. As you wave your hand over the face of the deck the top card visually changes. *Shockwave: A signed card is returned to the center of a deck which is wrapped with a rubberband. When the Band is snapped the card escapes from the deck and flutters to the table. *Four Coins Through The Handkerchief: Coins penetrate, one at a time, through the center of a handkerchief.

(FT) $ 34.95 Blindfold Tips by John Archer - DVD What can I say about John that you don't already know? John is one of the funniest entertainers I have ever seen! His comedy is funny and his magic is strong. What more could you possibly want from a performer?The ultimate, most comprehensive guide to one of mentalism's most versatile routines. John Archer has performed this routine all over the world and it has become one of his signature pieces. Imagine being anywhere in the world, grabbing a couple of coins, some gaffer tape, a blindfold, pen and paper from the local store and being able to perform a hilarious twenty minute, mind-blowing routine!Now for the first time, John goes in-depth to explain all the secrets and nuances that have made this one of his most requested effects. This is not just a quick trick, it is an entire act that builds and builds into a standing ovation finale. This is the real work on the blindfold routine and it will open up a world of possibilities. Shot in front of a live audience, you will experience John at his very best, performing the routine, and then he goes into every little detail with you, in an informal discussion-style explanation, which is equally entertaining."Those who think that comedy and mentalism can't be weaved together have not seen John Archer perform. John's comedy is brilliant, fresh and fast, yet it takes absolutely nothing away from the serious mystery of what it is he is performing. In fact quite often the comedy (take his blindfold routine for example) adds to the impossibility of the demonstration. John is a must see for those who are looking for their own character and what the limitations are not."- Banachek"John Archer is as brilliant as he is funny, a true pro in every sense of the word. You will not be disappointed that you have purchased this DVD. I for one listen very hard whenever John talks. He knows his stuff and more importantly he knows what makes a routine and an audience work.

Little did he realize that he had created one of the most memorable and dramatic card tricks of all time.

Wagner's version of the trick that's used by bar magicians everywhere, including Doc Eason.

Lastly, Scotty York, in addition to his very funny and clever presentation of this trick, will demonstrate how to make a gimmick that will enable you to streamline its handling. Card On Ceiling is a trick that people will talk about for years... and on this DVD, you'll meet the gentlemen who can ensure that you'll be the magician your spectators will always remember.Doc Eason - Card on CeilingJ.

Make no mistake, enemies have been made by taking these techniques public, but true to his up-from-the-streets attitude the author does not care. He is more concerned with cementing his place in history as the first one to put all the pieces together and publish one single comprehensive system for cheating at poker. Brief descriptions outlining the five principles covered in this volume are as follows (each of these principles is thoroughly broken down step-by-step and visually explained in precise detail): Card Location (finding the hot cards) Card Control (stacking the deck) False Shuffles (retaining the deck in stacked order) Countering the Cut (nullifying the cut) Trick Deals (putting the hot cards where you want them) Is it ethical to demonstrate actual techniques used by professional card-cheats in an instructional format? To teach people how to cheat? It could easily be counter-argued that by understanding all the contents of this DVD a person could actually protect themselves from being cheated! It takes a cheat to catch a cheat. The ethics of this material is determined by the applications that the knowledge is put to. But right or wrong it's all here and cannot be ignored!

Nash (DVD) Martin A. Nash who performs as "The Charming Cheat" has long presented outstanding gambling themed shows that are both elegant and entertaining. This video was shot live at one of his lectures where he performed his entire show and then explained the routines. You will learn an entire card act that is designed to make you look like a card expert and make people say, "I would hate to play cards with you." One of the strength of this DVD is the great patter and presentations Martin uses during his gambling routines. You will hear some excellent stories, jokes and gambling advice given throughout. Martin also gives advice on performing in addition to many technical subtleties and handling touches. Routines performed and explained: Poker Smoker: You continuously shuffle the deck and let the spectator cut while you continually deal the aces to yourself. Nash Multiple Shift Routine: The four aces are lost in different parts of the deck. After one shuffle all the aces come to the top. They are once again shuffled into the deck and are now found at the bottom. Pseudo Marked Deck Sequence: The four aces are lost in the deck face-up. You then deal a round of poker dealing all the face-up aces to yourself using the Nash Multi-Center. Ten To One: The Ace through ten of Diamonds are lost in different parts of the deck and the deck is shuffled. A spectator selects a card and it too is lost in the deck. A second spectator names a number between 1-10. After a shuffle the top ten cards are dealt face up with the named number remaining face down. The selected card is the face down card and the missing card is found face up in the deck. Daryl/Nash Trapped: A card is selected and lost in the deck. The spectator takes half the deck and springs the cards unto the table. You then use your half of the deck as tweezers and use it to pluck the selected card from springing cards. Jacks Or Better: This is Martin's favorite routine and the one he uses when he has to impress. The 13-minute card routine, which is usually used to close his shows, is a multiphase routine where selected cards are continuously lost in the deck and are repeatedly found between the two face-up Jacks. Each phase becomes more impossible as the conditions become more difficult until the finale when a merely thought-of card appears between the two face-up Jacks. Also includes Nash Multiple Shift variations, Nash Center Deal Demo, Any Way That You Want It, Shuffling Tips, Delayed-Action Center Deal, and much more. $ 24.95 Page 1320/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Children's Magic the Herbert Way (DVD) Performing children?s magic isn?t kid?s stuff!

He has earned his chops by performing in restaurants, nightclubs, theaters, bars and even on the street. This DVD features the routines he uses in formal and informal close-up situations. You will learn audience-tested routines and some Nu-wave approaches. Routines performed and explained: *Be My Home Computer: A simple all-backs routine with a home computer presentation where a selected card visually appears as all the faces come back. *That Old Coin Trick: An entertaining and visual coin routine where a coin produced from a spectator's ear vanishes, appears, flies to your pocket, splits into two coins and finally and magically turns into four. *Eraser Head: A rubber ball held in your left-hand changes places with a coin in your right. The ball, which is made of putty, is stretched into a small magic wand shape and used to vanish the coin. The coin appears on the end of the wand. The wand (putty) is now used to erase parts of the coin via David Roth's "The Eraser." When the coin is erased into nothing it is found to have been absorbed into the putty. *Switch Blades: An excellent multi-phase, color-changing knife routine where knives change color, transpose, multiply and finally the odd knife changes to a totally different color. *Forked Up: An impromptu routine where a borrowed and signed coin is tossed into a cup full of coins. A fork is used to stir the coins in the cup. When the spectator removes the fork from the cup the selected signed coin is found laced on its tines.

Each routine is described in complete detail in Michael Close’s clear, easy-to-read style. It’s almost like having private lessons with Michael Close. BONUS: Three Essays on Magic Theory and Michael’s Presentation & Handling of: Dean Dill’s Box & Gary Plants Magnetized Cards. Closely Guarded Secrets in More Detail The 179 pages of Closely Guarded Secrets contain 18 chapters. The ebook begins with two introductory chapters. The first is casual in nature, allowing me the opportunity to fill you in on what’s been happening in my life. The second chapter is more formal; it explains the theory behind the ebook. In this chapter I also discuss my desire to make my performances feel theatrically real to my audiences. It is not my goal to make my spectators believe that I am doing real magic. But during my performance I never want to take the audience “out of the show” by reminding them that I’m doing tricks. I do this by creating handlings that (as much as humanly possible) match the way I would handle the props if I had the power of a real magician. You’ll find that this philosophy has been applied to every routine in CGS. The next three chapters detail the three routines that were the backbone of my Houdini Lounge set. The Trick that Lance Burton Showed Me demonstrates what happens when you live with a trick for 15 years. This is my handling and presentation for Dan Garrett’s Four Card Reiteration. I discussed this trick on one of the Very Very Close videos, but there is new work in this ebook. Presentation for Gary Plants’s Magnetized Cards is my handling of this superb marketed effect. Many professionals have asked permission to perform this, but until now I have selfishly kept it to myself. The Luckiest Cards in Las Vegas is the strongest memorized deck trick I have ever developed. It is stack independent, and is very forgiving in terms of estimation. This chapter begins with an overview of memdeck work, offered in the hopes that a few misconceptions will be cleared up. Next is an essay titled On Venue & Evolution. The Shuffles Routine has been in my repertoire for more than 30 years. You may already have a similar routine in your repertoire, but there are stratagems offered here that I think you will find very useful. I performed this at my 51st birthday party in front of a room full of some the best magicians in the world, and it got roars of laughter. The Cheating Lessons is a gambling demonstration. I have designed this to be a lesson in elegant card handling. You’ll also discover a very useful patter line and an easy method for obtaining a surprise kicker at the end of the routine. The next chapter is titled On Sleights. It begins with an essay on how to practice. In this chapter I discuss False Shuffles (Faro and otherwise), the Pass, and the Multiple Top Palm. The focus of the chapter is on stratagems for changing the moment, rather than on revolutionary new techniques. If you have ever hesitated using the Faro shuffle in your work, you will find two ideas here that may well be worth the price of the ebook. Page 1337/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Dumbest Casino in the World is a new approach to a familiar plot. The presentation is very funny, and the method will fool laymen and magicians. The Famous Detective Collectors is my handling of Larry Jennings’s Distributraction. Of particular interest is the elimination of ATFUS. I believe that when cards have been removed from the deck they should never be counted back onto the deck. This handling achieves that. Incidentally, this is one of the most difficult card tricks I’ve ever performed. If you want a challenge, you’ll find it here. (The good news is that to the spectators, no manipulation is visible.) The next three chapters deal with Magic for Magicians. There is an essay that includes several interesting approaches, followed by two tricks that you can use to fool your buddies. Pipedreams includes a variety of ideas that I have never really used in my professional work. However, they are all practical and useful. Many came about as I played with items that were sent in for review. Tim Trono has commented that my suggestion for the marketed effect Pyro Perceptions is worth the price of admission. Sideswiped Meets the Bammo Deck Walloper is a combination of two excellent marketed effects by Simon Aronson and Bob Farmer. Combining these two routines solves some problems and produces a climax that fools everybody. My presentation of Dean Dill’s Box is next. The third phase of this routine is different than Dean’s and really leaves the spectators with a strong memory of what has happened. The final chapter is titled On the Workers Series. In this chapter I answer some questions about the evolution of the series, plus I provide some updates on several of the routines.

If you want to entertain the audience as you fool them, Danny Tong will teach you to do that too.There are a lot of great magic tricks out there, but the majority of them cannot be used when performing close-up in a restaurant or at a cocktail party. Perhaps that is why so many magicians all perform the same close-up tricks. Danny Tong stands out among real world, working magicians. After viewing his DVD, you will see why Danny is held in such high esteem by his peers and why I am a fan of his magic."-Steve Dusheck"What can I say about Dan Tong? I have known Dan for several years and I must say, Dan is one of the best kept secrets in the magic world and HE SHOULDN'T BE!"- Ray Goulet (Owner/Creator, Magic Art Studio - Mini Magic Museum)VOLUME I:Card To Wallet: A simple no palm approach to get sign "card to wallet" effect.Bill Matrix (coin assembly): This simple method not only produces the coin assembly effect, it provides two additional effects. (That of a color change and production of a large coin.) However, its main function is to get money on the table. One simple adjustment and you are reset.Sponge Balls: With 2 visible balls you will perform several effects, including the classic in the spectators hands.Ring Flight/Ring on Stick: A very strong combination of two classics that make a great closer. Bonus:Matrix (additional)Bills & Bowls: It’s the classic Benson bowl routine done with borrowed bills and a sugar bowl. Like Bill Matrix, the routine was designed to get money on the table.

Well it 'does' need a video from this man. Danny Tong is a man who has done it all. Anytime a pro like Danny Tong wants to tip some prize information, I am ready to receive it. I was so glad to hear that we are able to have some pearls of wisdom from one of my favorite entertainers. I treasure the times that I have spent with him and can’t wait to have him on my television anytime I want."- Doc Eason"The Egg Bag routine is alone worth the price of the DVD. The other items are a great bonus."-Tom CravenVOLUME II:Malini Egg Bag: This 3 phase routine with spectator ends with the production of a glass liquid. Joe Lefler said, "This routine has to be seen to be believed". Chop Cup: A short, fast rountine with this prop that does not promote a gambling theme.Card on the Ribbon: A slight change in the presentation of this great Jack Chanin trick creates a second effect and leaves you clean.Thompson’s Aces: As an opener for a card routine, this in the hands, ace production would be hard to beat. From a shuffled deck, you will produce the four aces, one at a time, while cutting the cards. Combine this production sequence with "Christopher’s Red and Black Aces" (Daley’s Last Trick) and you will have an easy to follow routine that does not require the spectator to take a card.Ropes: A rope routine that runs the gamut from C & R rope to Professor’s Nightmare to a 3 to 1 restoration. A complete act on it’s own.Bonus:Jack: A minor change in this old trick adds another laugh and extends the climax.Running Time Approximately 1hr 18minAdditional Image(s) $ 24.95 Page 1366/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Dancing Cane 101 - DVD (watch video) View ClipLearn Over 18 Different Moves!Contents: Introduction and Performance Dancing Cane History Performance Set-up and howto pick the right Dancing Cane Threading the Cane and Grips The Palm Suspension, The Palm Spin The Rising Cand and Vertical Suspension T Flight, Mid Flight, T Spin and Mid Flight T Bat Pirouette, Two Handed Freestyle Suspension Floor Stopping, From the Floor Mid Flight T Spin The Swing, The Twirl The Palm Suspension Transfer, Frontal Transfer, Around the Back Transfer Around the Shoulders, Removing and Replacing a Hat Dancing Cane Thoughts, Closing Thoughts CreditsRunning Time Approximately 57min $ 24.95 Daryl does the Full Monte! (DVD) To convey the value of the information you are about to learn, we can do no better than to quote the infamous S.W. Erdnase from his classic book, The Expert at the Card Table-"But there is not a single card feat in the whole calendar that will give as good returns for the amount of practice required, or that will mystify as greatly, or cause as much amusement, or bear so much repetition, as this little game; and for these reasons we believe it worth of unstinted effort to master it thoroughly." You will be expertly taught this amazing effect by none other than Daryl-the World Champion Magician's Magician. Daryl is one of the finest teachers of magic in the world today. He takes you through step-by-step instructions for many different 3-Card Monte sequences and, if you need any further convincing of the astonishing reaction this effect gets, you are also treated to Daryl's live performances of two of the more famous routines.

When he presses on the deck, the selection passes through the table. Prophecy Pack (dealer item, details of construction explained) - This is the incredible hands-off prediction effect Regal used to fool all and sundry when he moved to the West Coast. Penny for Your Thoughts (from Close-Up & Personal) - A glass of pennies is examined-the dates are different. The spectator selects a penny while the performer's back is turned, yet the performer tells him the date.

The effects are easy to understand, highly visual, very magical and are done with everyday objects that everyone is familiar with. Joe Rindfleisch has taken rubber band magic to an entirely new level and on this DVD, you’ll see effects that will fool even experienced band workers. Besides the usual penetrations and broken band restorations (and Joe has some groundbreaking work on those, also!), you’ll watch (and later, learn) effects with rubber bands that have appeared no where else in the literature of magic aside from Joe’s work. What’s more, the effects are grouped in performance sets, allowing you, once mastered, to perform mini-acts of rubber band wizardry. Learn rubber band magic from the man who wrote the book (Elastrix Vol. 2 — The Encyclopedia of Rubber Band Magic was actually written by Stephen Minch and featured Joe Rindfleisch’s original creations). These aren’t your father’s tricks with rubber bands. This is rubber band magic — to the extreme! ACT 1 SPAGHETTI UP NOSE FLURRY — An eye-popping opening gambit as a rubber band is visibly sniffed up into the performer’s nose, removed from the mouth, snapped into the ear, only to be taken from the mouth again! B.A.R. BAND — Joe’s revolutionary new take on the broken and restored rubber band. Truly magical! Page 1395/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 RETENTION JUMP — Don’t blink or you’ll miss the moment when a rubber band jumps from around the fingers of one hand and is found to be wrapped around the fingers of the other. HAND JUMP — The next step in the evolution of Stanley Collins’ Jumping Rubber Band. ULTIMATE JUMP — A rubber band wrapped around two fingers jumps to another pair of fingers despite the fact that spectators are holding said fingers! STRETCHING IT — The performer wraps a rubber band around the fingers of one hand and with a tap, it visibly jumps onto the wrist — on the other arm! ACT 2 CRAZY PENETRATION — A rubber band penetrates through the performer’s thumb, not once but several times. This one has an ending not for the faint of heart! WHAT NOT — A completely different take on the classic Broken and Restored Rubber Band that is guaranteed to leave your audience scratching their heads. TELEKINESIS — Rubber bands around the performer’s wrist jump off seemingly by only the power of the mind. ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE — While two spectators each hold the performer’s first and fourth finger, a rubber band wrapped around one finger visibly jumps to the other. SIX STRAND — A variation of Dan Harlan’s neo-classic effect "Traveling Cash" but done with three bands! SMARTY PANS — Joe’s improvement on his own “PANS” broken and restored band methodology. The spectators actually see the broken ends of the band but it still magically restores itself! ACT 3 QUICK DROP REVERSE — A broken rubber band instantly restores while the spectator holds it at their fingertips! HOLLOW HAND — A rubber band visually penetrates straight through the performer’s hand. COLOR CHANGING BAND — A totally new plot in rubber band magic! A rubber band completely changes color in the performer’s hand and may be handed out immediately to the amazed spectators. INTERWEAVE — If you perform "Crazy Man’s Handcuffs" or "Linking Rubber Bands," you’ll love this! Two rubber bands, each a different color, penetrate straight through each other. PANS LINK — Still another use for Joe’s "PANS" technique as two solid rubber bands are magically linked. ACT 4 MEDUSA STARE — Another revolutionary plot as an ordinary rubber band is apparently turned to stone at the performer’s will. NO KNOT — A rubber band is unmistakably broken and tied together. The performer visibly pulls the knot off the band, restoring it to its pre-broken condition. THE RING — An optical illusion where your audience will swear they see parts of a rubber band disappearing right before their eyes. GRAND OPENING — This one isn’t an optical illusion as a stretched rubber band visibly opens and closes. FINGERTIP RESTORATION — A strand of rubber band is broken into two pieces and put back together right at the performer’s fingertips. EAT AWAY — A common laser pointer is used to dramatically break a rubber band. DELAYED SNAP — A broken and restored rubber band routine with no apparent set up or "get ready." You’ll love this — and use it all the time! ACT 5 RUBBER NECKING — The performer pulls a rubber band straight through his neck. JO-DAN LINK — Joe’s classic variation on Harlan’s "Linking Rubber Bands." REMOTE LINK — Two rubber bands are linked — while they’re in the spectator’s hands! ONE T(W)O ONE — A rubber band suddenly becomes two bands and just as suddenly becomes one again. Your spectators will be rubbing their eyes! Page 1396/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 ACT 6 NO WAY RESTORATION — A broken rubber band is restored right at the performer’s fingertips. BERMUDA VANISH — One of three rubber bands mysteriously vanishes though the spectators are holding two of the bands! FAST AND ROOSE — The old endless chain game, only done with a rubber band, and the spectator still has no chance of winning! INTERLACE VANISH — A rubber band vanishes from the performer’s hand and reappears just as mysteriously. SAFETY BAND — A micro-magic version of the classic ring and rope as a rubber band visibly penetrates onto and off of a common safety pin.

Their weapon of choice? Coins.. . at close range. In the wee hours of the morning, video cameras captured the most dramatic moments of what westerners call a ÔsessionÕ and escaped alive with the only known footage of these bizarre and mysterious rituals. From master KamBeijing Coins Across- Three silver coins shimmer into mirage-like existence, dance from hand to hand, then suddenly transform into ancient brass Chinese coins. They change singly back to silver, and visibly flash back to brass. This opening attack from Curtis Kam's formal parlor show is the showpiece for his signature ÔFingertip WildcoinÕ sequence. Coercive Purse- Cited by Tommy Wonder for its construction, this routine uses psychological warfare to beat skeptics into submission. Imagine the copper/silver transposition warped through a purse frame, by way of a Jedi mind trick. The final stroke of oriental deviousness is the production of a coin larger than the purse frame, from the purse frame. The Goblet- Six coins transpose, transform and transport in, over, and around a stemmed metal goblet as Kam's pioneering techniques turn this under-used prop into a dangerous weapon. The Goblet allows the elements of Beijing Coins Across to be re-sequenced for greater killing efficiency. Tiananmen Square- For his final blow, Kam added a coin purse to Fingertip Wildcoin, punishing the audience with a standing handling of Roth's classic ÔPurse and GlassÕ that goes way off the deep end, ending with 13 Chinese coins covering the tabletop in a dazzling display of mysterious metals. East met West as 2 masters of the unusual stepped upto the mats. Kainoa Harbottle met Kam's attack with a production sequence not for the queasy - ÔRepeat Coins from Nostril.Ô Stunningly grotesque, it uses parts of your face not normally involved in western presentations. He then staggered the others by tipping his groundbreaking work on the underground Mutobe Palm and an ingenious ÔspiderÕ application of the otherwise ludicrous Ôover the topÕ vanish from Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. Finally, from the exotic, mysterious land known only as ÔPortlandÕ, came western master Reed McClintock, who delivered the deathblow by actually performing ÔInternational DissolveÔ from his aptly named manuscript series, ÔKnucklebusters.Õ To rub salt in the wounds of the disbelieving, he then explained how it was done, and made it seem easy. The ending to this routine will pummel you, so be prepared to defend yourself.

This is a great example of 'Apparent Spectator Control' - the spectator believes that she is controlling everything when, in fact, she controls nothing. Hahahaha! (Evil demonic laugh). 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's a lie detector test, then a called out revelation, and I cap it all off with a great sandwich effect. HOy Book Test - this is mentalism at its strongest. Far and away my very favorite book test. Any time, any where, 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 is not really mentalism, I had to throw it in because it's so much fun to perform. This is my favorite routine. The Greg Elephant in Denmark - An old classic that I've used to great success. You'll use this in close-up, on stage, even on the radio - I know, what a concept!

It is a completely impromptu spoon bend that you will immediately add to your close-up repertoire! Easy to perform without any set up and using just a regular spoon. Erick has been literally refining Gallerian over the past 3 years now, and not only trying to make-it visually beautiful, but also making it something very practical to perform in all type of settings. Can this be performed surrounded? Yes! The beautiful thing about gallerian, it's actually viewable completely (Surrounded). This effect could be performed as walkaround, close-up or on stage. Does this use a gimmicked spoon? No! The spoon is not prepared and could be borrowed if you don't mind giving the spoon back to the owner in a bent condition. Can this be performed with a fork rather than a spoon? Yes.We actually think it looks even better! Due to narrower 'tyne section' surface. Running Time Approximately 19 min Additional Image(s) "I have no doubt that Erick's NEW effect will Killer!"- Richard Osterlind "I have watched and studied this and it is a beautiful piece of magic." - Runawayjag "Just tried tonight while out for dinner...very impactful. The "bend move" was not noticed at all, and the effect had the desired impact." - Scott Leavitt "Just want to say great job! Please continue to keep your work at that same level and I am sure we will see your name more and more" - Patrick Kuffs "Okay, I downloaded this effect last night and stayed up VERY late playing with it. I'll admit I had my doubts as to how effective this would be close-up in bright daylight, but I gotta' tell you: I FLIPPED OUT a friend with this bend this morning, at a restaurant in bright morning light ... and he was 2-3 feet away, sitting right next to me!" DJRDJR(Magic Cafe Forum) "Just downloaded it. Beautiful! I like that the teaching of it is broken down into sections, it makes it easier to review and understand each of the subtleties that, all together, help make this so incredibly visual. Wonderful thinking!" - Derek Dean "Just downloaded it, looks really good, even after I knew how it worked. I love the impromptu nature of this. I can see this being used a lot" - Paul Wingham "I performed the bend this evening during dinner at a restaurant. Now let me mention that I wasn't doing any magic prior to this, but the audible gasps at the table drew the attention of eyes from tables all over the restaurant, including ones behind me and they were all blown away. As Borat would say: "It's Nice" - Joseph Kerr "I got it and I'm sure I'll use it... it's a different method than I use now and variety is good. Plus, if someone asks me to bend a spoon again, I can do it a second way so they don't know what to look for." - John Cressman "I was sitting at the table tonight with company saw a spoon in front of me & performed it ! they went nuts . I banged the spoon on the table solid as I stood up the move was done & it bent & they loved it ! This is the greatest non gimmick spoon bend EVER !!

It is crucial to force the Heckler off balance as early as possible, so that he is always one step behind every move, and is constantly playing catch-up.

DVD ONLY. $ 23.95 Page 1430/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Hybrid w/CD Nigel Harrison, DVD Borrowing two different bills from a spectator, you fold each bill into eighths. Then, simply by touching the two bills together, they visually fuse into one bill. That’s right, the two halves of the bill are made up from the two bills you just borrowed from the spectator. This hybrid bill is handed to the spectator for complete examination. You then proceed to rip the bill in half, ending up with one of the original bills in each hand. These are immediately given back to their owner.This isn’t just another bill switch: In fact, you can’t really call it a bill switch at all. Hybrid feels just like a switch but from the audience’s perspective, you’re not transforming one bill into another... you’re visually melding two of their bills into one unit, simply by touching them together. That’s pretty amazing stuff. Disc 1, of this two disc set teaches all the mechanics of the Hybrid switch technique step-by-step, in great detail, so you will be performing the effect within minutes of viewing the DVD. Disc 2 is a CD-ROM that contains several gaff templates, in multiple currencies, that you can print right from your home computer.As an added bonus:Nigel will perform and explain “Fraction”. A borrowed $10 bill (e.g.) is instantly and visually torn in half, into two separate $5 bills. Once examined by the spectator, the fives are fused together, visibly morphing back into the borrowed $10 bill.Plus:Nigel’s “RIPT” (flash torn & restored bill) - A borrowed bill is torn into 2 distinctly separate pieces and immediately restored by merely touching the two halves together. $ 17.95 Hypercards (DVD) by Andrew Mayne The Magician borrows two playing cards.

Impossible Card Magic is a perfect title for this program. Every item is impossible to figure out when you first see it -- you will be fooled. All the routines are very creative in both effect and method. The skill level ranges from intermediate to advanced but the effort involved in learning these routines will surely put you ahead of the crowd. Routines performed and explained: Smudge: The card case is used as a vacuum cleaner to visually erase the center pip of a three. The three is now a two and an ace is found inside the card case. Recased: The cards are removed from a card case and the case is put away. In an instant the case is back in your hand with the cards back inside. Pac Jacks: A sandwich routine where fifty-one cards visually appear sandwiched between two jacks while the selection remains in the hand where the deck was a moment ago. Deep Thought: A spectator thinks of a card seen in the deck. The deck is shuffled and fanned. A single card is pulled out of the fan so it sticks out of the deck. The spectator names her card as the deck is turned over to show the card sticking out of it is the thought-of selection. Raise Rise: One of the routines Ray is best known for is this visual ambitious card sequence where a signed selection is placed near the bottom of the deck so it sticks out half its length. All of a sudden it visually jumps to the middle, near the top, it becomes the top card and finally ends up on the bottom of the deck -- you will not believe your eyes. Venus Fly Trap: Two queens are placed together face up in the deck so they are sticking out for half their length. A Page 1433/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 card is selected and placed face down protruding from the deck. In an instant the two queens seem to jump through the deck and encircle the selection. Half Right: A quick and visual torn-and-restored card routine where a card is torn in half and then restored as the spectator pulls it out of the deck. Freedom Of Choice: A spectator freely touches the backs of four cards as the deck is being spread between your hands. The touched cards are pushed forward. When the spread is turned up the four cards are shockingly seen to be the four aces. Oil And Water: A devious three phase oil and water routine like no other. It is quick, visual and easy to follow as four red cards and four black cards magically separate and remix. The Other Cheek: Three selected cards are held face down in your hand. A quick shake causes them to visually turn face up one at a time. The effect and method are unbelievable. Jack In Box: A jack is placed on top of a card case and in an instant it vanishes to reappear inside the case. Out Of Space: An impossible looking routine which begins with four kings. As the kings are counted three aces appear between them. The aces are placed on the table as the four kings magically change into the fourth ace. The program is full of impossible card magic that will fool and entertain. A Meir Yedid Magic product. Original release date: DVD: May 2004, VHS: 2000. Running time: Approximately 60 minutes $ 24.95 Impossible Close-Up Magic by Ray Kosby (DVD) Ray Kosby is one of the most creative close-up magicians you will see. He comes up with original and often offbeat effects and his methods are just as wild. The strength behind his magic is that his routines will fool you. Audiences gasp at his effects -- when they are not speechless all they can say is, WOW! Try to figure out how he accomplishes the routines on this program without watching the explanations -- he will absolutely fool you -- you will have no clue as to how Ray accomplishes these impossibilities. Routines performed and explained: Silver and Bone: A two phase routine which starts with a coin visually penetrating through your hand and concluding with a visual transposition between a half dollar and a jumbo coin. Sidewinder Pretzel: An ordinary pretzel stick is bent at right angles and then twisted into the standard pretzel design. Rubber Nightmare: A large rubber band is split into three equal sized bands and then the three bands are shown to be of different lengths -- a small, medium and large. The professor's Nightmare with rubber bands? Page 1434/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Square One: A startling coin assembly with no covers where the coins assemble to one spot on the table and instantly jump back to the four corners. The Bite: Ray's trademark routine where he takes a bite out of a red apple and a moment later he is seen holding a green apple with the same bite missing. No switches and no sleight-of-hand used. Twixt the Threads: A coin penetrates through the center of a handkerchief. Osmosis: A ball visually penetrates through the center of a clear plastic bag. The Picnic Trick: A can of soda is popped open so the liquid splashes. You rub the opening of the can and it heals itself so it is as good as new. 1 2 3 4: Four sponge cubes are produced and placed in your fist. The fist is opened to show a giant number "4" made out of sponge. The "4" is then ripped into four separate cubes. The methods are all straight forward and vary in difficulty from self-working to difficult. You will love the magic on this tape. Truly something for everyone.

The routine begins with Garrett’s fabulous handling of the neo-classic Hanging Coins (complete with a shocking ending!) and continues with his own Coin Purse routine. This is a visually stunning illusion where coins shrink, grow and pass into and out of a purse that is obviously too small for them to fit in. It all looks like trick photography . . . but it isn’t! BLANK DECK — Garrett’s no-gimmick version of the classic Nudist Deck. The cards are handed out at the end of the effect yet the spectators will swear that they were all blank just seconds earlier. 14 CENTS — A coin effect, yet it packs the punch of a sponge ball routine because it all happens in the spectator’s hands. This is the strongest coin effect that Garrett does for laypeople . . . and you can learn all of the details here for the first time. 3 BALL — An amazing prediction followed by an amazing production of a solid billiard ball. This simple yet powerful effect is guaranteed to elicit screams from even the most jaded audience. APPLES TO ORANGES — Visual magic at its best as an orange changes into an apple! Garrett also shares a bizarre transposition of the apple and orange that’s perfect for close-up or parlor work. HOUDINI CARD TRICK — Garrett’s version of the Ambitious Card, the effect that was said to once fool Houdini. It’s a strange and powerful version of a card magic classic, complete with a surprise kicker ending. BONUS: Performances only of Garrett Thomas’ RUBIK’S CUBE and THE RING THING. $ 24.95 Page 1442/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Inside the Mind of Garrett Thomas - #2 (DVD) VOLUME 2 CHINESE SURPRISE — Garrett has taken Fred Kaps’ classic coin routine and added a surprise ending that will hit any audience hard. After several visual transpositions of a silver and copper coin, the audience will swear that more than two coins are in use. This is confirmed as the performer’s hands are opened and four Chinese coins . . . and nothing else . . . are shown! IMAGINATION COINS — A new twist in the Coins Across plot as coins travel from the spectator’s hands to the performer’s hands! Then, the coins visually fly between the performer’s hands before finally vanishing and ending up back in the spectator’s hand. Also included are Garrett’s touches on Robert Bengal’s famous move for the final coin. ABSTRACT MATH — A lesson in abstract math and thinking as three copper coins very cleanly change into a silver coin, a silver ring . . . and a silver Sharpie-brand marker! COLOR MONTE — Garrett’s take on the Emerson and West classic using regular cards, a great presentation, and a very clean and easy handling. This is an effect you’ll carry with you and perform everywhere. THOUGHT — Design duplication the Garrett Thomas way! Garrett shares all of the touches on how to make a spectator swear that they actually see you reading their mind! ANNIVERSARY WALTZ — Garrett’s version of the trick made famous by Doc Eason.

One must have both drive and diligence to perform sleight of hand magic. I meet many magicians who have the desire to be a great manipulator, but they work on their excuses more than on their technique.... “My hands are too small,” or “My hands don’t work as well as they used to,” or, “I don’t have the time to practice manipulation as much as I would like to.” I have offered up this material for the magician who has only limited skill or time to practice. Often, complicated sleight of hand routines take many months or years of practice before you can experience the results. These routines and effects are designed with minimum practice involved, and almost immediate results. Routines like these do take some practice, but will give you more rewards than blisters, more “wows” than “ouches.” The manipulation exercises and effects are here to help you build confidence, and perhaps will trick you into becoming a sleight of hand artist. --Jeff McBride What People Are Saying: "I enjoyed Manipulation Without Tears enormously. [The DVD] is a mine of pragmatic information that would otherwise take years to find; it has sound professional advice and enough material to build the basis of several numbers. For the seasoned pro it has new slants, twists and information that takes years of performances to find. The explanations and instructions are clear and succinct. In short, a lot of fun and worth every penny." -Sonny hayes, professional magician, UK "On Manipulation Without Tears (which is TOTALLY awesome) right after you explain about the device made from the cd case it cuts into a manipulation sequence. You start with a fanning deck, do some fans, then cards from mouth and then your productions. Jeff, with that music combined with that act was one of the most amazing and beautiful things I have ever seen. That was just fantastic the way you put that together." -Craig Krisulevicz, magician, Philadelpia "Loved your new DVD, Manipulation Without Tears.

No problem; just draw an outlet on a pad of paper, plug in the cord and the music starts right up! Based on a Fantasio effect and used with his permission. UPLOOPTED - A horizontal card levitation that looks UNBELIEVABLE! THE "I HATE DAVID COPPERFIELD" TRICK - Based on "Close-Up Illusion" by Larry Jennings, a card VISIBLY MELTS through another. The visuals here go WAY BEYOND the original. THE OMEGA BET - Based on the Karl Fulves effect, Bob Wagner has turned this into a KILLER piece of entertainment, a 5-phase whirlwind of fun for everyone in the room! A random spectator decides the final, and most impossible, bet of all. The routine uses my false overhand shuffle (which is quite easy but appears totally fair). MORE ON "OIL & WATER" - Sam Schwartz's wondrous 3-phase, 8-card O & W routine with NO SLEIGHTS! NONE! Thanks to Sam for allowing me to include this gem with minor handling changes. MIRACLE COIN VANISH - This gets GASPS from spectators. Looks like real magic. (Note: a jacket or sportcoat is required) JUST A BIT MORE ULTIMATE THAN JOHN MENDOZA'S "ULTIMATE TORN & RESTORED CARD" - The name says it all. In an e-mail to me, Mr. Mendoza (a close-up DEITY) said he thinks more of this method (of his trick which appeared in "The Book of John") than any of the "piece-by-piece" restorations out there. You're clean at the first and clean at the end. As a bonus, it's SUPER EASY to do even though the card is SIGNED ON BOTH SIDES! Volume One Bonus Effects: INVISIBLE DECK FINESSE - Makes using an Invisible Deck more fun than ever (and the reset is DURING the routine). FORKLIFT - Move silverware with your mind! 4-WAY COINCIDENCE - A reworking of a stunning prediction routine by John Murray from "Card Cavalcade 3" by Jerry Mentzer (included with Jerry's permission). Use a borrowed, thoroughly-shuffled deck. There's only one real "move" (which is laughably simple).

It just appears out of NOWHERE! THREADY OR NOT - My "improved" handling for the first phase of any Ring & String routine. Originally based on the Earl Nelson move (in "Variations"), this one addresses two major discrepancies in the original. READY 2 LINK - A technique that makes the get ready for the Linking Rubberbands TOTALLY INVISIBLE. Based on Roger Klause's brilliant concept of "half-moves". SHUFFLING STYLES FROM AROUND THE WORLD - A modular card routine where a card is located after a series of shuffling demonstrations.

AMBITIOUS 1-2-3-4-5 – A spectator is asked to call out a number from one to five. A deck of cards is shuffled with some of the cards turned face up and some face down. Yet, when the cards are spread, the four cards that match the spectator’s choice are the only ones that remain face up.ACE PRODUCTION – The four Aces are produced from a shuffled deck simply by cutting the deck. This is the perfect lead-in to any four Ace routine! SIMPLE COLLECTORS – The four Aces are set aside and three cards are selected and lost in the deck.

It all becomes a moot point when two large balls are produced from out of nowhere. Short, sweet and to the point.FEMALE – A spectator freely names a card and every other card is shown to have a man's name on its back.

A card is set aside in plain sight and a spectator is asked to place her hand on it. Three cards are selected – one is signed – and returned to the deck. The magician finds the first two but is apparently unable to find the signed card. For the amazing finish, the prediction card is found to be the one subsequently signed. The performer then reveals another prediction – a slip of paper revealing the names of all three selected cards that was in a purse in plain sight the entire time!SIMPLE TUNNEL – A selected card, pushed through a deck of cards, visibly turns face up as it slowly emerges from the other side. No gimmicked cards—just visual magic at its best.THE MOST DIFFICULT CARD TRICK IN THE WORLD – Two cards are selected and lost in the deck.

MCDONALD’S FOUR ACES – Three Aces vanish from their respective packets of cards – with each vanish more amazing than the one that preceded it – until all are found in the leader packet.

For a man walking by IN THE TV SHOW suddenly stops, looking straight into the camera. He furrows his brow, walks up to the screen, then PULLS OFF THE CARD, yanking it instantly into TV land!

Prohibition can be done totally impromptu, completely surrounded, and it is totally visual! Seriously, watch the demo and see if you can catch it; they sure won't.

So, you like leviation effects? Well Alex Markov has created what some are calling the best of the best when it comes to close-up levitations. The performer shows his hands empty on both sides, then hands hand out or borrows a deck of cards for shuffling. A spectator then selects a card and places it on top of the deck. The magician retrieves the deck and openly places it on his outstretched palm. He tells everyone to concentrate on the card as he starts his "meditation." After a few moments, the card eerily begins to rise higher and higher off the pack! It floats up and down in an amazingly smooth way as if the card is somehow floating on a cloud. Now for the best part-the performer removes another card from the pack and waves it above, below and all around the card while it's floating in mid-air! The spectator's can look anywhere they want-this is angle free! The Real Floating Card is one of those few effects in magic just as amazing for the magician while performing it as it is for the spectators watching!

This was a stunt in which the magician tells a story while turning over cards from the deck, the cards matching the words in the narrative. It was not really a trick but an amusing interlude such as "Troublewit" or "Rocky the Raccoon" In other words, it was not supposed to fool anybody and it was not a new idea. In fact, other story routines such as "Jack goes to Town", as published in "Scarne on Card Tricks", were already in the literature. Bill learned the Sam the Bellhop story and stack as shown to him by Mike Pappas of Chicago and he immediately added expert blind shuffles and cuts to it, thereby making magic out of an amusing vignette. That was a new idea! Over the years, he refined it and it became his signature piece. Eventually he was asked to perform it on the November '94 TV show, "World Greatest Magic." His electrifying performance on this show was destined to open golden doors of opportunity, and Bill shuffled off to the bank! After seeing Bill's performance, other magicians have attempted to teach this trick, but they missed the essential ingredients. This tape uncovers Malone's original dynamics that make the effect flow. If you apply yourself, you can learn the most entertaining four minutes you will ever do!

It created a sensation and went out of print very quickly. You could search on eBay and be lucky to find one copy coming up per year and find it sold in the hundreds of dollars. The book itself has achieved legendry status. So what great secrets does it contain? Well it does cover a section on spoon bending in Chapter One. But this is not a book of mentalism secrets. Any magic store has shelves weighed down with such tomes. Every magician and mentalist's library is full of books and DVDs crammed with the secrets of some of the greatest minds of our craft. The Shiels Effect is the book that shows you how to leverage that information. How you can become the stuff of romantic legend … the next psychic superstar! A top soccer player like David Beckham is on a high salary. But he is able to leverage his position to bring in lucrative multi-million sponsorship deals. So why wouldn't you leverage your skills and talents – the skills you may already have to bring you more publicity, more celebrity status and more income. Even if you don't want to achieve all the trappings of international stardom, surely as a performer shouldn't you be seeking to become the local celebrity, so that when they are looking for a service you provide, you are the one who pops into their mind straight away? Right here in this book the plan, the mindset are laid bare. The secret ingredients that go to make a psychic superstar. No other book has delved so deeply into the subject of psychic superstardom and how to achieve it. No other book has laid out a step-by-step plan (two separate plans in fact, one for a man and one for a woman). Pages 70 The DVD Doc retired from active performing twenty years ago to devote himself to his avocation – art. (You may recall that the late Chan Canasta, while at the top of his profession also retired to devote his life to painting). Irish magician Pat Sullivan traced to a remote part of Co. Kerry in South West Ireland and coaxed him to come and talk to the Cork and Kerry magicians. Fortunately this very special evening was recorded and is preserved now for your enjoyment. Sit down with a pot of strong coffee or a generous portion of your favorite beverage, pop in this DVD, relax and enjoy an evening's company with Doc Shiels. Doc will regale you with stories from his early days as the boy magician performing at the local mission for deprived children, when he was barely older than they were. Hear what happened when he switched a magician's spring snake for a real one. How he developed his interest in Bizarre Magick (Doc was one of the founders of this genre). What were the FIVE WORDS that caused long queues to see one Blackpool sideshow illusion? If you do the spider Page 1566/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 woman sideshow illusion, this could make you a lot of money, and if you don't you just might go and get one! Doc will tell you a lot more about raising the Loch Ness Monster and makes a suggestion that could achieve similar levels of publicity for you. Discover how he came to be known as 'Doc'. Learn how the disembodied head of Princess Raman Ra handled a heckler – not something you would use yourself but very funny! If you're looking for tricks – they're not here. This is an entertaining seventy minutes spent with one of magic's most intriguing characters, a man who lived the life he chose, answered to no one, developed a new genre in magic, contributed widely with numerous books and magazine articles and achieved international publicity. It will also fill you in on the background to some of the material in The Shiels Effect. For the technically minded this is not a studio quality production. It was taped with one camera. There's no special lighting. The sound is OK. Don't come back bitching that it's not studio quality. It's perfectly watchable and perfectly audible. And hugely entertaining! Running Time Approximately 1hr 10min $ 34.95 Page 1567/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Shifts, Hops, and Magic Passes by Richard Turner - DVD A card man or a magician has two choices; learn just a trick or develop an arsenal of techniques that can be used to execute numerous tricks. In this power packed DVD, Richard Turner details must-have moves that every magician and card man should have in their repertoire. More particularly, Richard teaches how card men and magicians alike can work around the cut—work that separates the professionals from the amateurs. Shifts, Hops, and Magic Passes was developed to provide a variety of options to use to nullify or work around a cut deck of cards. Some moves are very easy; others are devilishly deceptive, including the Turner Shift. The Turner Shift allows the card handler to transpose the two halves as fast as or faster than any shift yet devised. Not only is the Turner Shift done with speed, it starts and stops in a natural dealing position thereby making it undetectable to onlookers. The master mechanic Larry Jennings wrote, “My friend Richard Turner, in my opinion, is the finest exponent of gambling sleight-of-hand that I have ever known.” The moves taught on this DVD also have far reaching applications in the performance of magic routines. Cards appear, and cards disappear; cards go to the top, and then drop to the bottom or make instant color changes. The magical applications are far reaching and will add to the impact of any show. Shifts, Hops, and Magic Passes includes an array of moves “That’ll get the money!” Moves such as the Turner Shift, Laying a Brief, Turner Half Pass, Turner Cover Shift, Cover Shift to Bottom, Bottom Palm to Top Hand, Deck Switch, Color Change, Side Grip Dive Shift, One Hand Dive Shift, Top Grip Dive Shift, One Hand Hop, Cover Hop, Delayed Hop, the Charlie Miller Shift, Mistake Shift, a Two Hand Shift, the Dump Shift, the Casino Slip cut, Casino Bottom Cut, a Scrape Cut, and the notable Turner Cut Card Shift. Also included in Shifts, Hops, and Magic Passes are two magic routines: the Count Aces Royal and the Flipping the Aces. Counting Aces Royal is a routine that utilizes false counting techniques turning four aces into a royal flush. Flipping the Aces is a flashy way to produce the four big bullets. Both routines use techniques taught in the video. In the typical Turner style, the DVD is packed with extras including a 2006 performance at the Magic Castle, military magic history, and a Christmas special featuring Asa Spades Turner.

The intent it is to create a college level of instruction about working with silk for magical purposes. Although there is one complete routine explained on this program, the information is not about routines. It is specifically and exactly about how to use a silk fountain. Learn how ...to make a fountain, how to fold a fountain, how to put a final load in a fountain, how to make an “easy release” holder for your fountain, how to hold a fountain for production, how to steal a fountain from your table, how to reduce the effect of static electricity on the silks in a fountain, and how to customize a fountain for a theme or particular style. With up-close camera work you will see how folding is done, how the release system is gripped, and how the fountain is presented to achieve maximum effect and impact. You will also learn one complete routine where, with just one 18” silk and a gimmick containing some 12” silks, you end up with a bubbling fountain of color that seems to have come from nowhere. Valuable information that is hard to find from other sources, some of it may be nearly impossible to find. We are happy that you can now own this on DVD! $ 19.95 Silken Sequences & Steals Laflin series- #2 (DVD) SILKEN SEQUENCES AND STEALS Here is a program that teaches you the most important secret in silk magic.

A motley crew of would-be train robbers packed a local saloon (strangely resembling the IBM convention) and called themselves "magicians". Cards flew and coins changed hands, but it all stopped when sheriff Curtis Kam walked in. They could tell he was a professional who did miracles. But before they could thank him, he and the money were gone. Here's what they saw: Through and Through - Folks back East call this a "Karate Coin", you'll call it a coin that just won't stay put. It comes out through the bottom of your pocket, passes up through your fingers, then down through your left hand, up through the right, then gets lost inside, honest! Finally, it pops out STUCK ON YOUR FINGER! You pull it right off, and then stick it back on real slow!! You try to put it away, but it keeps on slipping through your pockets! Finally, you leave it for the buzzards to pick at. Experienced hands will realize that you're reset, and back in the saddle again. Triple Alliance - A newfangled, ground breaking Copper/Silver/Brass routine with a triple transposition climax, without the usual gaff, and none of that "If the silver is here, then what's in my hand" nonsense. This is magic, not a gol-darned guessin' game! 4 Co Pro and Super 4 Co Pro - Marshall Reed McClintock stepped up to defend the town with the scariest production of four silver dollars ever seen. The first version is his original handling from "Knucklebusters" and it's enough to clear the room. The "Super" is the top-secret improved handling that he didn't tip in the book because it's just too darn good. Learn to do either of these and you can ride with me anytime. Inverted Matrix - A four-coin gaffless reverse matrix that has things no other reverse ever had. It works on any surface, has the world's easiest retention pass, employs a new pickup move that shows both sides of the card, AND, you hardly ever touch the coins, so sleight-of-hand seems impossible. Copper Silver Bent - The cleanest version of the classic transposition ever seen. Your hands start palm up and empty. You don't just repeat the trick, you top it by having the spectator unwittingly bend the silver coin in their own hand! For tablehoppers, there's no lapping, sleeving, or sneaky trips to your pockets. Warning for tenderfoots and greenhorns- You have to backclip a coin-but don't cry mama. It's just one, and thanks to the gaff, it's 98% angle-proof. Sandwich Move-a-thon Even a rootin'-tootin' funslinger has to do a card trick every now and again. This is the six-phase routine to keep in your back pocket for times when your shootin' irons are too hot. Six tasty sandwich effects all done up pretty so they flow like a river. Do all six, and you'll ride out of town a card-handling legend. Or stop at one, two, or three if the crowd gets ugly. Combines the work of Earl Nelson, Robert Walker, David Solomon, John Carney, Martin Nash, Harry Lorayne, Derek Dingle and Larry Jennings into a relentless feast that you can pick up and take with you.

Over the years, Steve draun has gained a laudable reputation as one of the finest sleight-of-hand experts in the magic underground. By perfecting and re-perfecting his magic, magicians from around the world were invariably fooled, stunned and affected. Back in the day, Steve draun's work was often discussed in hushed tones. However, as time went on, draun's focus shifted from fooling the greatest minds in magic to performing for laymen. Now, his vast and varied audiences see only the best of the best of the best. Though long acclaimed as a cardman, Steve draun has approached dice, coins, linking rings and virtually all substrates of magic with equal passion and perseverance. It's for this great effort, and for his long-time experience, that such a high degree of bafflement permeates the magic of Steve draun. This is also why his material is so greatly worthy of study and appreciation by anyone who seeks to better their own performance of magic. VOLUME 1: AMBITIOUS CARD - Anyone can construct an Ambitious Card routine. You just combine a number of different phases. However, constructing a routine that's magical from the instant it starts and builds upwards from there is rarely done. This is one of the best!! $100 BILL SWITCH - A hilarious presentation which solves many problems - including the clean up! KNOTTED SILKS - New wrinkles added to Slydini's classic routine, including a surprise Vernon variation. VANISHING CIGARETTE - A lit cigarette completely and mysteriously vanishes. A super-clean handling that leaves them shaking their heads! COLOR CHANGING KNIVES - Pocket knives repeatedly change color and then - get this! - are handed out for examination. You'll love the strong finish for this classic - and the fact that it automatically resets! Page 1584/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 3 CARD MONTE - A powerful routine that will leave the spectators rubbing their eyes in disbelief! You'll also learn a new and unique ending. CARDS ACROSS - A thoroughly professional routine with an original handling. You'll also pick up some valuable insights into palming, holding out and adding cards. RING FLIGHT - The classic Flying Ring plot combined with information on how to construct your own gimmick that will rival anything currently on the market. LINKING RINGS - Vernon's Symphony of the Rings with the draun touch. Also discussed is a flaw that occurs when the routine is performed close up to which a very clever solution is offered that reinforces the illusion that all of the rings have been examined. VOLUME 2: OUT OF THIS WORLD - If you could accomplish this classic effect by real magic, it might look very much like this the clean-up is that good! FAN GLIMPSE - If you are not already familiar with this now-standard method of glimpsing a peeked card, you are in for a real treat. If you already use it, you'll find some interesting presentational ideas. FACE-UP ACES - A quick, surprising trick taught to Steve draun by Ed Marlo. Some original ideas were added and what emerged impresses all who see it. TENKAI PENNIES - An impossible-looking technique is used to accomplish this standard, but still powerful, trick. MEMORY TRICK - A long-forgotten plot is updated and you're going to love the results! DECK VANISH - A stunning trick that features several new palming techniques. Also, a well-kept secret move for showing your pocket empty is revealed that you will use all of the time. WEB SHUFFLE - A great method for simultaneously culling and stacking using the riffle shuffle. UNEXPECTED LOCATION - The spectator is in control throughout. They shuffle, cut, remember a card, and then cut and shuffle some more. After all of that, the performer, after some amusing by-play, reveals the selection! BONUS TRICK: PORTENT ACES - One of Steve draun's best items! An Ace-cutting trick par excellence! MASTER PASS CLASS WORKSHOP - Learn the moves that Steve draun made his mark in the world of card magic with including his touches on the Classic Pass, the Table Pass, the Herrmann Turnover Pass, and his own remarkable Midnight Shift. You'll also learn Jack Sandwich, a strong trick that incorporates some of the powerful techniques taught in this special workshop. If you've ever wanted to learn, or improve, the Pass, you'll find this Workshop to be an invaluable resource. VOLUME 3: In the foreword to Steve draun's lecture notes, card legend Edward Marlo wrote, "Steve is very discriminating in his choice of methods and effects. All the effects he does are direct and their plots are easily understood by laymen or magicians but their methodology is skillfully concealed from even the most knowledgeable expert." Now, for the first time in front of a live audience, you will see Steve draun, one of Marlo's best and most gifted students, at the top of his form. PERFECT COIN VANISH - A silver dollar is vanished with both sleeves rolled up. Both hands are shown empty front and back - the hands are held out in front of the body the entire time - and then the coin is reproduced! ALL BACKS ROUTINE - A spectator is asked to select a card and is surprised to find that it has a back design on both sides. The performer fans the cards and shows that all of the cards have backs on both sides. Suddenly, the deck is returned to normal with backs and faces - and can be used for more effects as it is perfectly normal! QUICK CULL - After the spectator shuffles the cards, the performer finds the Aces with just a few flourishes. CENTER DEAL - A bluff Center Deal with a setup that looks so real, you'd swear that the Aces were in the center of the deck! COUNTING PUZZLE - Magicians will see an Elmsley Count but the results still don't seem possible! The ending even fools those who think they know the secret. BLUFF ACES - Some brand new twists on Marlo's classic effect. TRAVELERS - An updated version of Dai Vernon's timeless trick. The application of more modern palms and subtleties makes this standard even more deceptive. COPPER/SILVER - A practical, efficient and deceptive handling for a great classic of coin magic. ONE WAY DEAL - This is one of the tricks that made Steve draun's reputation. An ordinary deck is shuffled by the spectator and the magician deals himself a full house in seven hands of 7-Card Stud Poker. Page 1585/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 TOPSY TURVEY - This is Steve draun's handling of a trick invented by Marlo and included in his Riffle Shuffle trilogy. Most agree that it's the best of the seven versions created since the original. BONUS MATERIAL: CUT, PASS, CHANGE & SQUARE WORKSHOP - Learn advanced card techniques from the master. Though challenging, these moves, including work on running cuts, the Thumb Pass, the Mercury Change, and squaring a squared deck, will enable you to lift your card magic head and shoulders above the average card worker. $ 74.95 Page 1586/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Stars Of Magic 9 DVD SET Stars Of Magic Set #1-9 Get the entire series of the "Stars Of Magic" DVDs in one complete package!

And most of them Jay is revealing here the very first time! ALCHEMY SELTZERThe miracle-worker dissolves an initialed Alka-Seltzer tablet in a glass of water and drinks every drop. A minute later he impossibly coughs up the tablet complete with the spectator's initials! BURDEN OF PROOFThe performer links a twist-tie (twisted in to a loop by a spectator!) to his own finger ring! The SPECTATOR then untwists the tie and removes it from the ring! CIRCUMFERENCEA small, flat white disc of cardboard momentarily changes into a ping pong ball...then back into an ordinary piece of cardboard! So easy, and beautifully visual! TRINITYThe mentalist's name and the names of two other spectators are written on slips of paper and they are all mixed up. With no equivoque or funny moves the spectator "with some psychic ability" is able to choose the correct slip for all three people! Killer opening effect! BEST BEFOREOne of those small white plastic "best before" tags from a loaf of bread is sent back in time several times. At the end, even the 'best before date' changes to a much earlier date! MISMADE MONOPOLYThe Mismade Bill concept is great, but it would even be better if, every time you perform the effect you could GIVE THE SCREWED UP BILL AWAY AS A SOUVENIR! Well, now you CAN! HOW FORTUNATEYou divine the fortune in a FREELY SELECTED fortune cookie. Do this one at the right time and place and it will MAKE your reputation! A DELICATE BALANCEThree steel bolts are balanced on top of each other, one at a time. Then all three bolts are magically EPOXY GLUED together and can be immediately handed out for examination! FORCED ENTRYA drinking straw is stabbed through the middle of a bottle cap then the cap is slowly pulled off the end of the straw and allowed to fall directly into a spectator's OWN HAND. The moment the cap hits the spectator's palm, it instantly HEALS ITSELF! And yes, both the cap and the straw can be immediately examined! (They can even be borrowed!) AROUND THE BENDA paperclip is completely bent out of shape and then mysteriously regains its original shape in an INSANELY VISUAL FASHION! GLOBAL WARMINGSeveral small envelopes are introduced with paper money from a different country in each. The spectator merely THINKS of one of the bills (and it IS a free choice) and when the spectators open all the envelopes, they find that the freely chosen bill has been REDUCED TO ASHES! Everything can be examined! AIR OF MYSTERYA spectator pops all the bubbles on a small square of packing bubble material, but with just a wave of his hand the magician causes all the popped bubbles to impossibly REFILL WITH AIR! DOUBLE FEATUREAn outstanding stand-up routine involving a two-phase bill switch handling and a packet of Monopoly cards. An incredibly VISUAL ending! PAPER TRADEA startling transposition between two halves of a torn piece of paper. Super easy to do (really just ONE MOVE!) and it even automatically re-sets!! GLASS MENAGERIEA slip of paper with the correct prediction literally APPEARS inside a small glass vial. This is a concept with unlimited potential and applications! X-RAY VISIONYou draw a large "X" on the back of one of your own cards and mix it into the stack. But somehow, when the spectator FREELY chooses any one of the business cards they discover they've chosen Page 1594/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 the one with the X! (And there really is only ONE X on the back of ONE CARD in the entire stack!) "This video is incredible. I've watched it about 7 or 8 times now, and it rocks every time. Delicate Balance is one of the simplest and most powerful effects that I've seen in a long time, and it takes minimal pocket space. It's perfect for strolling. Forced Entry is also the best and the most practical solid through solid ever." - Jeff S. "SUPERNATURAL is the best DVD Jay has created in years!" - Martin T. "I've been freaking people out with the mismade bill for years. But Jay's 'Mismade Monopoly' is even better cuz you can give it away as a souvenir. Thanks!" - Bobby K. "Alchemy Seltzer gets a better reaction than any trick I have shown people in the bar. A girl even gave me her phone number!" - Todd B. "My wife bought me SUPERNATURAL as an early Christmas gift and I'm so glad she did. I've watched it four or five times and Jay has never been funnier. I laugh out loud every time. And the tricks are great too. So much better than 95% of the other stuff that so-called 'professional magicians' sell to the rest of us. Jay is a real pleasure to watch and learn from." - Franklin A. "I did Glass Menagerie for my boss and totally scared him. He even made me do it for his friends. I love it!" - Graham D. "The tricks on Supernatural are almost too easy. But I've tried 3 of them so far and they all ROCKED." - Terence G. "I'm always looking for mentalism with ordinary objects and 'Global Warming' is a killer!" - Ross L. "On Jay's new DVD SUPERNATURAL there is a really fun trick called 'Circumference.' It's really a production and a vanish of a ping pong ball. I showed it to my daughter and some of her friends and they LOVED it. I'm a semi-pro and I'm going to do it in all my kid shows over the holidays. Keep the great magic coming Jay!" - Oliver H. "Jay's 'Forced Entry' routine is the best penetration effect I've seen in years. I performed it with a borrowed straw and bottle cap at a party last week and everyone thought I was possessed! Worth the price of the DVD." - Mark S. "I call this DVD 'SUPERNATURAL' because it features some of my strongest magic and mentalism with natural, every day objects. I deliberately didn't include any effects with playing cards or coins because sometimes you have to astonish people with something OTHER than cards or coins to feel like a real magician." - Jay Sankey Running Time Approximately 100 min $ 22.95 Symposium - DVD Mullica does Future Transposition and the Cigarette Eating. Sankey does Airtight, the Deck in Balloon (Worth the price of the DVD!) Roth does Folding Coins Across. Lorayne does Halo Cuts Again.

Then, go behind the scenes and learn the real secrets as Ted, along with well-known magic consultant Charles Reynolds, explains everything you need to know in minute detail. This is the material that has made Ted Lesley a legend in two arenas of the conjuring arts, and now it can be yours! Volume One - Cabaret Mindreading Contains: *Ace Duet - A deck is freely shuffled a number of times by a spectator yet the Aces are found - all without the performer even touching the deck! *The Spectator as Mindreader ? A baffling effect that finds the spectator locating the card the performer merely thought of. *The Working Performer?s Card Stab ? A card is signed on its back and shuffled into the pack. The cards are scattered face up as the performer thrusts a dagger through one?which is found to be the one previously selected and signed. *Tossed-Out Deck ? Wonderful touches on David Hoy?s mentalism classic. Five spectators merely peek at a card yet the performer flawlessly names them all. *Black Magic III ? A great Bank Night effect as a spectator successfully finds a drawing placed into an envelope and mixed with three others. Unfortunately, she manages to miss out on the currency contained in the others! *Booktest ? The performer divines a word freely selected from an ordinary paperback book. Even more amazingly, the performer then correctly identifies a word the spectator draws out of thin air. *Pro-monition ? A spectator is asked to think of a card, which is found to be the only one missing from the deck. The performer then has a spectator remove the selected card from his pocket. *Center Tear ? Great work on one of mentalism?s most powerful tools. Mastery of this technique will give you the ability to read minds any time, any place. *Teleportation ? A page is selected from a book by one spectator while an empty envelope is given to another. On the performer?s command, a piece of the selected page vanishes and is found in the envelope. When compared, the piece fits exactly! *Decisions! Decisions! ? A powerful version of the classic ?Stop!? trick. The performer selects a card and places it into an envelope. Cards are then dealt fairly from another deck until a spectator calls ?stop.? Though it?s a completely fair choice, the designated card is found to match the one in the envelope. *Super Force ? Through the performer?s apparent mental powers, one spectator locates another spectator?s chosen card under impossible conditions. *Bending Wine Glass ? Forget spoons! The performer causes a wine glass to visibly bend at the stem though he is nowhere near it. What?s more, he also causes two other glasses to bend?while spectators are holding them! $ 24.95 Page 1602/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Ted Lesley's Cabaret Magic Volume 2 (DVD) For the first time ever on video, here's your chance to see Germany's legendary master of magic and mentalism, Ted Lesley, mesmerize a studio audience with his "paramiracles." Then, go behind the scenes and learn the real secrets as Ted, along with well-known magic consultant Charles Reynolds, explains everything you need to know in minute detail. This is the material that has made Ted Lesley a legend in two arenas of the conjuring arts, and now it can be yours Contains: *Six Card Repeat ? An ultra-easy version of this magical classic with a surprise ending guaranteed to fool even those in the know! *Borrowed Bill in Borrowed Cigarette ? One half of a borrowed bill is discovered in a truly impossible place ? inside a cigarette that was also borrowed! *Comedy Rope Trick ? The Professor?s Nightmare turned on its head! A length of rope is clearly cut into three equal pieces yet the pieces are shown to be three different lengths. They become equal yet again and one piece is thrown into the audience. The other two are tied together and then instantly restored into a single length ? which may be examined! *Comedy Mindreading ? Three playing cards are selected and, after several vain but amusing attempts to find them, the performer finally locates each in increasingly amazing and impossible ways. *The Fastest Card Trick in the World ? Don?t blink as a signed playing card and a borrowed credit card make an impossible journey. *Coin Through Sleeves ? A most-magical version of the classic Winged Silver as a coin mysteriously travels from one hand, up the performer?s sleeve, across his shoulders and into a glass held in the other hand. As a finale, the performer explains the process?using milk! *Bill in Lightbulb ? A borrowed bill is torn in half. One half is vanished and travels into the most unlikely of places?the center of an ordinary light bulb that was burning brightly just moments before! *Bill in Lemon ? If you think you know this one, you haven?t seen the Lesley version. Again, one half of a borrowed bill vanishes from an envelope held by a spectator and is found inside a lemon that was in plain sight throughout. $ 24.95 Page 1603/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Tempest Concept - DVD (watch video) Tempest Conceptby Andrew Normansell View ClipTHE ULTIMATE IN CHALLENGE CARD MAGIC!

Al Schneider has spent his life not only studying magic but analyzing what makes magic effective for an audience and you'll see the amazing results on this remarkable DVD series. Volume One - Theory and Magic -- Worth the cost of the entire series, this first volume in Al Schneider's landmark video series is a significant contribution to the why's and how's of performing magic. The value of the information presented here cannot be underestimated as Al Schneider presents the principles that lie at the very core of magic deception. And, to drive home each principle, an effect is performed to clearly show the importance of the principles involved. First, the effects will fool you and then you'll watch again to review the sound magic theory they represent. Al Schneider has truly developed an advanced graduate course on the theory, practice and delivery of powerful magic. Page 1605/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 CONTENT INCLUDES: *CROSSED CARD JR. - A stunning beginning that introduces the concepts presented in this volume. You will want to watch this carefully to get all the subtleties of this routine. *AL SCHNEIDER'S BASIC VANISH - A very versatile coin vanish that will impress the most seasoned magician. *AL'S EXPANSION OF TEXTURE - A silver coin melts through cloth to join a copper coin in a hank held by a spectator. A powerful routine demonstrating the use of the Schneider Vanish. *FIVE STEPS OF DECEPTION - You must understand these to know what your audience expects to see. *CHINK-A-CHINK (SHADOW COINS) *VANISHING SALT SHAKER - Another classic improved by the Schneider touch. Demonstrates how to add impact to a trick. *QUICK CUPS - A simple routine with the Adams Cups and Balls that's easy to carry and do. Audiences consistently gasp at the conclusion of the routine. Demonstrates how to build suspense to get the gasp and add impact. *SNAP BACK MOVE - You will simply want to do this. *SPELLBOUND - Al Schneider's take on this classic, presented with his own methods of doing the various Spellbound moves. *GERMAN FRENCH DROP - An innovative vanish by Al capitalizing on his principles. *POP-UP MOVE - A better, smoother handling of the move created by Al. *DOUBLE LIFT - A push-off double and a new Schneider double lift. *PERFECT PALM - Palm a card with the audience looking directly at your hands. $ 24.95 The Al Schneider Technique (DVD) VOL.2 Volume Two - Close Up More than just a collection of tricks, the material demonstrated and taught in the second volume of Al Schneider's landmark video series could easily form the backbone of an entire close-up act! Master any of these magical showpieces and you'll quickly earn a reputation for performing professional-caliber magic like one would expect to see in Las Vegas. This is truly powerful material! CONTENTS INCLUDE: Page 1606/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 *AMBITIOUS CARD - A selected, signed card is returned to the deck four times yet continually rises to the top. This classic of magic is enhanced by Al Schneider's handling of the basic move that makes this effect work, turning a standard card effect into a miracle. *CARD TO CARD CASE - A great closer for the Ambitious Card routine. Very simple, yet very convincing! *DYNAMIC COIN - A coin interlude in which a coin disappears, reappears, penetrates the back of the performer's hand and much more. Lots of magic - and all you need is a half-dollar! *TRI VANISH - Three coins disappear only to quickly appear at the ends of your elbows. If you learn it and perform it just once, your audience's response will convince you to use it in every show. *COINS ACROSS - Though all eyes are glued to your every move, three coins magically travel from one hand to another. It's done slowly and deliberately - and it'll knock their socks off! *OFF - A finger ring is threaded onto a length of rope three times yet comes off with just a simple tap on the hand. A spectator who watched Al perform this ten times in one evening finally asked, "Where do you hide the other ring?" *CROSSED CARDS - Coins seem to melt away to nothing and appear under cards crossed on the table. Spectators are often heard to say, "That's beautiful!" *SLY NAPKINS - The perfect impromptu routine. A small bar napkin is torn into two pieces and each piece is rolled into a ball. The small balls magically jump from one hand to another, vanish and reappear. It's an any time, any place effect that's loads of fun. *HIMBER WALLET ROUTINE - Several blank pieces of paper are magically turned into real twenty-dollar bills! Several principles have been combined to make this a very deceptive routine for a common prop, plus - it's easy to do! *ONE HALF GONE - In a very slow and convincing way, the performer sandwiches a half-dollar between four copper coins and puts everything into a coin box. However, the silver coin manages to escape, despite the very fair conditions. Easy to do - and you'll love the surprise ending! *HUGS AND KISSES - Three large silver coins with "X's" cut into them and three copper coins with "O's" change places in a very mysterious way. *MATRIX - This is the trick that made Al Schneider a legend. Four coins, placed under four playing cards, magically gather together. Though it's one of the most imitated tricks in the history of magic, Al's original version is still the best and chances are, you'll almost certainly fool magicians who haven't seen it. $ 24.95 Page 1607/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Al Schneider Technique (DVD) VOL.3 Volume Three - More Close Up: Quick Tricks In this third volume of his landmark video series, Al Schneider demonstrates and teaches a wide variety of professional-level close-up material that is sure to become a staple in your own act. Give any of these honed performance pieces the attention they deserve and you'll be performing world-class close-up magic in no time. CONTENTS INCLUDE: *SOURCE - A splendid opener for any close-up routine. Two cards are shown on both sides. The cards are placed together and a half-dollar drops out from between them. This is repeated three times though the cards are shown on both sides before each production. *COIN THRU RING - A coin placed under a hank is trapped when a ring is threaded over all corners. Then the coin melts through the ring to escape. *COIN THRU HANK - A handkerchief is spread on the performer's hand. A coin is placed onto the center of the hank and the hand closes the center of the cloth around it. Yet, when the performer's hand is opened, the coin is gone. When the hank is pulled away, the coin is found to be resting on the performer's hand. The effect is repeated one more time, yet this time, the coin vanishes without a trace! *RING AND PENCIL - Another classic of magic improved by the Schneider touch! A ring is placed onto a pencil and though the spectator holds both ends, the ring vanishes and is found on the performer's finger. Another any time, any place miracle! *SPLIT SILVER - A cute quickie! A silver dollar is shown, covered for an instant and it splits into two half-dollars. The two halves are then tossed into the performer's hand and squeezed back into a silver dollar again. A great walk-around trick! *CONE AND COIN - This is a feature item as two coins, one under a cone and the other in the performer's hand, change places under impossible conditions. It looks like real magic! *CUPS AND BALLS - A five-phase routine that has been audience-tested by several noted performers for over 20 years. Each phase has been fine-tuned to elicit a different reaction from an audience and when they're combined, it becomes a powerful Schneider-enhanced version of a magic classic. stunner! *MARKED DECK - A deck of cards with smudges on its sides is shown. A card is selected and the deck is cut. The smudges are now shown to display the name of the card. Very perplexing - and easy to do! *CARD TO ENVELOPE - An envelope is in open view. A card is selected, marked and returned to the middle of the deck. The performer then opens the envelope and removes - another, smaller envelope! And, yes, the selected, signed card is removed from that envelope! *VANISHING DIME - A simple yet impossible feat! A dime is pushed into a closed fist. The performer uses a pencil as a magic wand and taps the closed hand which is opened to show that the coin has completely vanished. Both hands are shown empty and the best part is that when your spectators want to see it again, you can do it again! *RING GAG - The performer asks a spectator to take note of a ring displayed on his open hand. The hand is closed Page 1608/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 and the spectator is asked to describe the ring. The performer opens his hand to show that the ring has vanished, only to be found on a finger of the other hand! *UNIVERSAL CARD - Three cards are selected and an odd-backed card - the Universal Card - changes into each selection after coming into contact with it. Another classic of magic improved by the Schneider touch! *COPPER/SILVER TRANSPOSITION - An oriental coin is placed under a handkerchief and given to a spectator to hold as the performer displays a silver coin at his fingertips. The silver coin is covered for an instant and instantly transformed into the oriental coin. The spectator looks at the coin in the hank, only to discover that they're now holding the silver coin. *CARD PALM TRANSPO - Two cards are shown and tabled. The performer then displays a face card on top of the deck and covers it with his hand. The card is apparently lifted from the deck as if it were palmed, but the hand is squeezed and then opened to show that the card has vanished. The two cards on the table are spread to show that the vanished card has appeared in between them. $ 24.95 Page 1609/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Al Schneider Technique (DVD) VOL.4 Volume Four - Stand Up Magic Though he is known for his legendary close-up magic, Al Schneider is also an accomplished stand-up performer and on this volume, he performs and teaches a 15-minute act that's all packaged and ready to do. Add some practice and you'll have a powerful show for any occasion. CONTENTS INCLUDE: *LINKING RINGS - A classic five-ring routine that's a great opener for any stand-up act (though it's strong enough to be your closer!). Simple and direct. *ROPE - A knot routine that's warm and engaging. Knots appear suddenly and disappear just as suddenly! You must know how to do this to have any respect as a rope magician! *GOLF BALLS - A complete act in itself! A ball is produced from a silk scarf, and then three more appear and then disappear. As a finale, the last ball changes into a giant golf ball in the performer's bare hands. What's more, this routine is performed entirely out of the pockets - no need for a table! *COIN TRAY ROUTINE - A stunning routine with a well-known yet little-used prop - a simple coin tray. The spectator counts some coins and holds them tightly. The spectator gives the performer three coins. Each coin is placed singly into a handkerchief and then vanished. The spectator even touches the last coin while in the hank just before it vanishes. The three coins are found back in her hands. *FUSION- Four single ropes are counted and with a snap, visibly become one length of rope. This is easy to do yet can be done completely surrounded. What's more, the rope can be passed out for examination immediately. *ZOMBIE - This is the routine that inspired Tommy Wonder's work on this classic of magic. In the Schneider version, the ball seems to come to life and pick on the performer. This version can be done surrounded and even close-up! And, there's virtually no set up - just pick up the ball and go! It's a routine designed to win over even the toughest audiences! $ 24.95 Page 1610/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Arizona Card Expert - DVD The Arizona Card Expert, Steve Ehlers, teaches his most amazing card tricks ever*.

This is a unique opportunity to see exactly what happens in a professional magician’s “day at the office.” First, Mark explains everything that goes into the preparation for an evening of strolling magic—it’s a fascinating insight into what goes on behind the scenes in the build-up to a show. Then you are there as Mark entertains his audiences—you see it all exactly as it happened! This is followed by an analysis of what makes a successful table-hopping performance, as Mark and Chris Payne look again at some of the key moments from the evening’s work and discuss exactly how all the principles of performance come together. This is the “art” of hopping tables—it shows how all the many facets of personality, technique, audience control, and magic effects are blended into a memorable experience for the spectators. The tape ends with a discussion with experienced strolling magician Stuart Bowie about many other aspects of close-up performance, with particular reference to restaurant and dinner-function work. Revealed in a candid and truthful way are many of the intimate working secrets of an experienced strolling magician. It is a gold mine of advice borne of genuine experience, and it is highly valuable to both experienced and novice strolling magicians. Part 2 concentrates on the magic itself. Using relevant sections of the live footage seen in Part 1, you will see seven effects performed by Mark for his audiences and then fully explained in an entertaining and informal style with Chris Payne. All the magic comes directly from Mark’s own current repertoire.

Sanvert (VOL.1) DVD Volume One: Table Hopping and Cocktail Parties Can magic really be this entertaining? But of course...! When FISM winner J. J. Sanvert performs, he only has one goal in mind - to entertain! This is why every routine in his professional repertoire is honed to perfection as he squeezes every last drop of entertainment potential from them. That means that every one of these tricks is strong enough to be your closer! On this volume, J. J. performs the tricks he uses in strolling situations, much to the obvious amazement and delight of the studio audience. Then, after the show, J. J. rolls up his sleeves and shows you how you can perform his award-winning magic, too! Killer Card Routine - This is J. J.'s favorite and it features some of the most eye-popping card effects ever created, all rolled into one ten-minute tour de force. It's the routine that J. J. makes his living with. Coin Routine - Take a purse frame and add some half dollars, a few Chinese coins and a couple of spectator's hands and the result is a six-minute coin routine that, as soon as you learn it, you'll perform for the rest of your life. Break the Ice - This is the routine J. J. uses to first engage a group in a cocktail setting. A touched card behaves in a variety of startling ways that includes visibly appearing on the face of the deck. Reversed - A peeked-at card magically reverses itself in the deck and then penetrates through the deck to drop onto a spectator's hand. For the finale, the entire deck reverses itself around the selection! Daryl's (and JJS') Boomerang - A peeked-at card visibly jumps out of the deck and into the performer's other hand and then jumps back again. The card travels across one more time - invisibly! Your Favorite Card - A spectator is asked to name any card. The selection is apparently missing from the pack so the performer takes three random cards and, one by one, changes them into the named card. For the finale, the three cards turn into the mates of the selection while the missing "favorite" card is found in the performer's pocket! Cigarette Thru Coin - With a politically-correct presentation (smoking is bad for you!) and a handling that utilizes only one hand, J. J. breathes new life into this classic. You'll also marvel at the switch at the trick's end, though you probably won't see it! $ 24.95 Page 1613/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Best of J.J. Sanvert (VOL.2) DVD Volume Two: Classic Card Routines When FISM winner J. J. Sanvert performs, he only has one goal in mind - to entertain! This is why every routine in his professional repertoire is honed to perfection as he squeezes every last drop of entertainment potential from them. That means that every one of these tricks is strong enough to be your closer! On this volume, J. J. demonstrates why he won the FISM world championship for card magic. More than card tricks, these routines are performance pieces that amply demonstrate how entertaining good card magic can be. Watch the amazed expressions on the faces of the studio audience and then sit back and learn as J. J. shows you how it all works! Cannibals - This is J.J.'s signature routine, a highlight of his FISM act, and considered by many to be the best Cannibal Cards routine ever devised. You'll agree, especially when you see the ending! Twisting Hofzinser - Hofzinser's classic Four-Ace Problem meets Twisting the Aces and the results are truly amazing. J. J. also teaches his utilitarian Retro Count. Ubiquity - The spectator's selected card is everywhere! It even matches the performer's prediction. You'll also learn J. J.'s incredible Twirling Double Lift. Invisible Flush Palm - Jennings' Open Travelers with a startlingly new climax. Card Fusion - Possibly the last word on this neo-classic. Two cards are visibly fused together face to face and then, just as mystifyingly, are separated. The cards are then signed and fused back to back and given out as an impossible souvenir. Table Change - This is one that wowed the judges at FISM. A tabled card visibly changes into a peeked selection. Vista - A spectator freely thinks of a card and writes its name on a slip of paper. The performer runs through the cards and sets one aside and it's shown to match the thought-of card. You'll learn how to turn your card case into a magical secret weapon. Impossible Prediction - The performer writes the name of a card on a slip of paper and it's found to match the card found at the spectator's freely named number. A strong and virtually self-working miracle! Cool Cold - The performer is dealt a Royal Flush from a deck that is shuffled and dealt by the spectator. You'll find many uses for this powerful technique. $ 24.95 Page 1614/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Best of J.J. Sanvert (VOL.3) DVD Volume Three - Masterpiece Routines When FISM winner J. J. Sanvert performs, he only has one goal in mind - to entertain! This is why every routine in his professional repertoire is honed to perfection as he squeezes every last drop of entertainment potential from them. That means that every one of these tricks is strong enough to be your closer! On this volume, you'll find three routines that approach the level of magical theater. Each is a showpiece that J. J. has carefully constructed for maximum impact and complete audience engagement. These are the tricks to do if you can only do one! Linking Finger Rings - The trick begins along the classic lines - borrowed finger rings link are impossibly linked together. However, where most routines end, J. J.'s just begins. The rings subsequently vanish and each is found in a separate - and equally impossible - place. Card in the Lemon - The secrets of the Universe explained with a deck of playing cards and a citrus fruit! A selected card, after going through several miraculous changes, is found inside of a lemon. The routining makes the lemon a logical part of the routine and the ending is guaranteed to elicit a gasp from even the most reserved audiences. Babybel - This is the trick that J. J. uses to close his show - that says it all! In this routine that could almost be considered an act in itself, a borrowed bill is vanished and found within a small cheese. It should also be mentioned that said cheese is covered in wax, wrapped in cellophane and factory sealed in a net bag. Oh, yes - the bag is also sealed in a can of peas. This is a Nest of Boxes-type of effect that your audience is never going to believe. Plus, J. J. takes you through the setup of this effect in one of the most meticulous explanations of any magical effect ever committed to video. $ 24.95 Page 1615/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Best of J.J. Sanvert (VOL.4) DVD Volume Four - Close-Up Routines (DVDJS4BEST) When FISM winner J. J. Sanvert performs, he only has one goal in mind - to entertain! This is why every routine in his professional repertoire is honed to perfection as he squeezes every last drop of entertainment potential from them. That means that every one of these tricks is strong enough to be your closer! On this volume, you'll find a selection of unbelievably strong close-up items that can be performed in almost any situation. Learn them and put them anywhere in your show - every one is a feature piece! Psychic Poker - The performer correctly predicts not only a poker hand from a shuffled deck but also a name and address freely chosen from a telephone directory. Utterly baffling...and just about self working! I Ching - A brand new deck of cards are shuffled and cards are eliminated by the spectators until only one is left and, after some by-play, is shown to exactly match the performer's prediction. You'll also learn J.J.'s masterful equivoque and verbal control techniques. Royal Rollover Aces - If you think you know this classic effect, think again. After the deck is shuffled face up and face down several times, the cards are turned to reveal the four Aces while the remainder of the cards are shown to now be all face down. The Aces are set aside to reveal a Royal Flush in Spades on top of each packet of cards. As if that weren't enough, the five packets are spread to show that each contains four of a kind in matching suit orders. For the incomprehensible finish, the rest of the cards are spread to show that they are now in perfect numerical order. Use this as your closer (though J. J. often uses it as his opener!) Bill and Pen - The metal "core" of a borrowed bill is removed and then replaced after which a fountain pen is thrust through it with no damage. J. J. combines two classics of magic and makes the entire procedure logical and magical. Surviving Card - If you've ever lost your break or had a troublesome spectator, this routine is the perfect solution. The spectator names the only card not in the deck. It's found, uncannily, in the performer's pocket. Show Me A Trick - Once again, J. J. shows you how to handle a situation that every close-up magician faces. This time, you'll learn how to turn a spectator's request that you teach them a trick into a perfect magical moment. Flying Dollar - This is the last word in Fingertip Coins Across routines. Coins travel back and forth from one hand to another. For a finale, they all change to Chinese coins. The silver coins are reintroduced magically and then vanished one at a time. $ 24.95 Page 1616/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Card Shark by Darwin Ortiz VOL.1 (DVD) Darwin Ortiz makes his living with a deck of playing cards.

You find a selected card by burning a cigarette through the deck—it stops on the selection. *Rubber Made: A banquet of visual impossibility with a borrowed ring and two ordinary rubber bands. Daniel’s killer routine has three phases and half a dozen visual miracles. Then the climax—you hold both rubber bands in your hands and openly toss one at the other, where they link, untouched, in midair. Unlink the bands and hand them for examination. $ 24.95 Page 1627/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Daniel Garcia Project Vol.2 (DVD) Volume 2 Daniel Garcia's bold methods and a working pro’s eye for routining take some of your favorite classics to new DG inspired heights. *Only Four: Shadows coin for the 21st century.

And yes, the coin is signed. What more is there to say? *White or wheat: The spectator examines the aces, which you cleanly place on the table with empty hands. A second later, the selected card is found between them. And then the spectators examine the aces again. Includes the Ego slip control, which you absolutely will use. $ 24.95 The Daniel Garcia Project Vol.3 (DVD) Your journey through the Daniel Garcia Project concludes with a final dose of mind-shattering effects.

This will hook, reel in, and land all your magic buddies—add a little olive oil and they'll be completely fried. Needless to say, laymen have no chance. *Quarters: A relentlessly impossible coin through glass routine. Includes the damnedest visual penetration: you drop a coin in the glass—it really goes in the glass—and it falls right out the bottom. Uses any glass. *Windex: Draw a window on a signed card, then open the window to create a large opening in the card as well as in the spectator’s brain. Leaves a permanently impossible souvenir. *C.A.A.N.: Any card freely named is found at any number from 1-52. Totally clean. All in the hands. Mucho Easy. *Joe Blow: Talk about packs small plays big... this impromptu wonder requires only a tiny scrap of paper and a spectator to witness a miracle. Over and over again, you wiggle your finger and cause a piece of paper to fall over. Every possible explanation is brilliantly cancelled. Warning: Some people will actually believe it’s real (present company excluded). $ 24.95 Page 1628/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Dennis Loomis Knot Routine...Plus!

For decades, Aldo Colombini’s name has been synonymous with powerful yet commercial magic. His brand of conjuring is always knock ‘em dead strong but his methodologies rely more on subtlety and cleverness rather than difficult sleight of hand. In this exciting series, you’ll see Aldo perform his favorite effects. Every item is something you’ll want to add to your repertoire immediately. It’s all commercial...it’s all great...it’s all Aldo! Volume 1 Contents: JOKER DILEMMA - A spectator selects a card, which is shown to match the performer’s prediction. The audience suspects that the cards are all the same which the performer confirms. However, they’re all Jokers! DRAW A BLANK - A card, freely thought of by a spectator, is found to be the only printed card in an otherwise-blank deck. An amazing piece of magic and no, there are no switches or rough and smooth cards! HOLLOW HOLE - A card is selected from a pack with a hole through it. The card is replaced and all of the cards are secured in the box with a ribbon. A balloon is inflated and when it’s burst by the performer, the selected card appears—with its hole intact! JUMBO COINCIDENCE - Two packets of jumbo cards that have been cut in half are introduced. A half-card is selected and its mate is found to be at the same numerical position in the other half. In fact, they are the only two halves that match. For a finale, the rest of the cards are shown to have rearranged themselves so that all of the halves now match! THIS GOES ON - Aldo’s very funny take on Stewart James’ classic “Further Than That” with magical surprises that just keep on coming. You won’t believe you can get this many effects out of a single card trick! BLEACHED - A monte routine with a difference and in the end, the cards all turn blank—in the spectator’s hands! MAGNETIC - Two cards are selected and shuffled back into the pack with some cards face up and others face down. When the pack is spread, all of the face-up cards are red except for one lone black card—a selection. When the spread is flipped, only black cards are face up except for one red one—the other selection! Page 1629/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 MISSING LINK - Two differently-colored pieces of rope link and unlink in the spectator’s hands. No magnet is used and it’s suitable for parlor, stage or strolling situations! RINGING AROUND - Aldo’s classic four-phase ring and rope routine. Learn it and you’ll perform it for the rest of your life. APACHE - Four of a kind are shown. After a startling and visual transposition, two cards are selected by a spectator, who discovers that the cards have welded themselves together (and yes, this strange object can be examined!) The performer then restores the cards to their normal condition. TAKE OFF - A card is placed into an envelope with a hole in it. Though the card is clearly visible, it suddenly vanishes and reappears face up in the middle of the deck! $ 24.95 Page 1630/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Essential Aldo Colombini VOL.2 (DVD) Volume 2 Contents: POCKET REPEAT - Aldo takes the best elements of the Six Card Repeat and Card to Pocket and combines them into a new magic classic. 4’WAVE - Aldo’s version of Phil Goldstein’s neo-classic “B’wave” with regular cards. This also features a forcing system that you’ll find dozens of additional uses for. HYPNO-CARDS - Two spectators each select a card. The performer removes some cards from the pack and each spectator claims to not see their selection. But, then they do. Then, they don’t! An incredible routine with a surprisingly simple handling. GRAND PRIX - This is a complete award-winning act with playing cards. Dozens of effects are combined to leave your audience breathless and spellbound! OIL AND WATER - Aldo breathes new life into this time-honored plot as red and black cards repeatedly separate under impossible conditions...and at the end, only black cards remain! PROBABLY KNOT - An amazing and amusing sliding knot routine that requires absolutely no set up! You’ll also learn Aldo’s simple and effective One Hand Slip Knot. ELEVON - Aldo’s version of Marlo’s “Elevator” plot. Cards magically pass right through the pack. Your spectators won’t believe their eyes when the last card moves visibly from the middle of the pack to the top! SHENANIGANS - A classic piece of magic for young and old! Green-backed cards emblazoned with leprechauns magically turn face up and face down. For the unforgettable finish, the cards turn out to have the colors of the rainbow on their backs or the legendary pots of gold on their faces. ONE FOR ALL - Three cards are selected and the magician divines what they are from a single card. To finish, the selections all appear face up in the middle of the pack. FAST FOOD - Two cards, interlaced between three Jokers, vanish suddenly and reappear reversed in the middle of the pack. You’ll gasp at the vanish of the cards! BALLS & CUPS - Aldo’s two cup and ball routine that’s easy for you to do and for your spectators to follow. In addition to the traditional big loads at the finish, there’s a complete surprise for spectators and magicians alike—the production of a third cup! $ 24.95 Page 1631/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Essential Aldo Colombini VOL.3 (DVD) Volume 3 Contents: HAVE A NICE DAY - Sure to be one of the most talked about effects in this series, a card is signed and returned to the pack. Several cards are removed and the spectators are shown that the selected card is not among them. A smiley-face sticker is attached to the back of a card but soon, there are smiley-faces on the backs of all the cards! Just as suddenly, the smiley-faces disappear from all of the cards save one—the spectator’s signed selection. A great walk-around item! FOUR RED CARD TRICK - The classic Homing Card done with jumbo cards. A black card continuously reappears among four red cards and at the finish, the cards are shown to be all black - and then all red! BAREFOOT IN THE PARK - Three cards are selected in what seems to be a very strange game of Poker. Then, a spectator who never saw the original selections chooses three cards—they turn out to be the chosen cards! MINI-MAXI - A standard gag that produces two astonishing predictions. This is an effect that you’ll put right into your working repertoire! GET THE BALL ROLLING - Aldo’s version of the classic ball routine that’s performed entirely in the hands without the need for a table or handkerchief. It looks like difficult manipulation but you’ll be doing it in no time! RUBBER ILLUSION - A Queen stretches to twice its length and then—if you blink, you’ll miss it!—it visibly changes into a miniature card. You’ll fool yourself with this transformation! PACKED BAGS - A card is freely selected and even though the spectator shuffled the deck beforehand, the selection is seen to match the performer’s prediction. THROW IN THE SPONGE - Just when you thought all of the entertainment potential had been wrung out of sponge balls, Aldo will delight you with his routine, full of comedy and audience participation. THAT’S AMORE - The performer and spectator become two Cupids as they magically pair the Kings and Queens and, appropriately, a message of love appears on the backs of the cards. ANOTHER’S BET - Two coins travel between the performer’s hands and even back and forth from his pocket until, as a finale, a jumbo coin appears. A great coin routine for close-up and stand-up performances. PERPETUAL CALENDAR - A spectator shuffles a pack of cards and uses them to determine a specific day. A pocket calendar with playing cards printed next to every day is introduced and the spectator is asked to look up the card next to their day. The card matches the prediction! ULTI-MATE-M - Jumbo playing cards, cut into quarters, are introduced and four spectators each select a random quarter. When the pieces are assembled, it’s found that three match but one is part of a completely different card. Not to worry, however, as the performer’s prediction matches exactly—including the mismatched piece! HEART TO HEART - A Two of Hearts is shown and the performer apparently plucks off the pips, producing two sponge hearts and leaving behind a totally blank-faced card! After some magical by-play with the hearts, the performer miraculously merges them into one jumbo heart! This is a routine guaranteed to warm the real hearts of Page 1632/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 your audience! $ 24.95 The Eyes Have It (With Prop) by Kurt Freitag The Eyes Have It (With Prop)by Kurt Freitag Kurt Freitag, Hollywood's World-Famous Magic Castle host, manager, and number-one fan is absolutely fantastic in this creatively, imaginative demonstration of pure fun with puppet eyes.

Routines such as Whit Haydn's Four Ring Routine, the Mongolian Pop-Knot, the Teleportation Device, Chicago Surprise, Fast & Loose, and many others have become standards in the arsenals of many top-flight professionals.

With Whit Haydn's "The Intricate Web of Distraction," these weaknesses are overcome. This routine is both practical for the working magician and powerful in performance. The patter is entertaining and funny, and yet, because the humor is based on the situation, it easily adapts to the individual style of the performer. Whit has performed this routine thousands of times in front of audiences at the Magic Castle, Caesars Magical Empire, trade shows, hospitality suites, and cocktail parties. It never fails to enthrall his audience as he wraps them in a web of intelligent humor and amazing prestidigitation. The DVD shows a live performance of the routine and then every detail of technique and performance is carefully and thoroughly explained. Watching this DVD is like having a personal lesson in magic from one of the best and most entertaining magicians around today. $ 24.95 Page 1636/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Killer Kitson Miracle (DVD) by Bob Sheets The killer Kitson Miracle is Bob Sheets powerful and entertaining routine for Patrick Page's Three-Card Monte.

You don't have a table to set anything down on and you don't want them touching anything, and you still want to be effective. Bang. The Killer Kitson Miracle. One high impact, short attention span theater piece for the real world worker. "There are rules. You never let them touch the cards, and if they were stupid enough to bet, you'd take all their money. "The reason they never touch the cards is because they are mechanical trick cards designed to do tricks without any skill or practice." RIGHT. The Svengali Pitch meets the Polaroid card for one powerful entertaining routine that repeats and will be one of the most talked about effects in your walk-around set. The cards -- hand made. The routine--polished by 20 years of real performance . The hysterical script makes this the one routine you can depend on to KILL!

It's called The Linkage, and it is Sean's approach to the Linking Card plot as originated by Paul Harris in his Cardboard Connection back in the 1970s. "Sean was originally going to release this as a manuscript, but further talks and discussions revealed that releasing it as an inexpensive DVD would be the better route to take. And I'm glad he did. "The effect is almost undoubtedly known to all: The centers of any two playing cards are torn out, thus creating a pair of impromptu card 'rings.' These cardboard rings are instantly and magically linked together! The two cards are actually seen to be connected through one another. The linked cards are then magically disconnected and are both immediately handed out for examination! Or, they are left in their linked state and given away as a souvenir! "Sean teaches two different methods on this DVD, and they are extremely diabolical. If you are familiar with Sean's work on the Torn & Restored Card, you know how devious he can be when it comes to rethinking methods for existing effects. "For the first method taught (the gimmicked method), the strongest impact will be not only when the cards link, but a strikingly visual and instant separation of the previously-linked cards. In fact, the slower you perform it the more impossible it looks! Without giving too much away, I actually went back and watched the separation over and over again. "My favorite is the Bonus Linking Card, which almost didn't get on the DVD, but I'm happy Sean decided to release it! And DVD is the perfect medium for it as simply reading it on paper would not translate well at all! It simply must be seen and experienced. Only one card is used. It is essentially impromptu, and I believe that there is no stronger linking illusion with cards out there because the cards ARE linked at the end! They can even be handed out for examination or given away as souvenirs. "I give this my wholehearted recommendation as I am a firm believer in strong, performance-tested, real world material. Sean has been using both these routines for years with great success. I'm going to add that this is not for everyone; it will require some work, a little patience, and some practice. Every good effect does. But if you are after 2 solid routines revolving around the Linking Card effect, $ 14.95 Page 1638/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Lost Tapes Vol. 1 OR 2 by Earl Nelson - DVD The Lost Tapes Volume Oneby Earl NelsonEarl Nelson is widely regarded as one of the most skillful sleight-of-hand performers of this generation. A close friend and student of Dai Vemon, Earl's slow, deliberate handlings and showstopper effects are pure poetry. In 1984, Earl released four videotapes covering material from his acclaimed book, Variations, his notes, called The Workbook, as well as detailed, thoughtful instruction on several of the most important sleights in card magic. The tapes, shot in the Parlor of The Magic Castle, became instant classics. They were referred to numerous times in Darwin Ortiz' book, The Annotated Erdnase. For many, they are still considered amongst the finest instructional tapes ever produced. Unfortunately, in 1994, the Northridge earthquake hit Los Angeles, devastating Earl's home. Amongst the missing items—the masters for Earl's acclaimed tapes. Sadly, from that day forward, not a single copy was produced. In the intervening years, Earl's rare videotapes have become highly sought-after underground favorites, selling for a small fortune to those lucky enough to find them. That is where the story is supposed to end. Except that recently, Earl moved out of California, which required him to excavate and repack dozens of boxes of smashed and long-forgotten magical belongings. They were the last thing Earl expected to find, but there they were, tucked away in the debris—the lost masters. Dusty, the footage a bit darkened by time, but all in all, relatively unscathed. And so it is with great pleasure we are able to bring you the re-release of Earl Nelson's legendary videos.

Here’s what you’ll see during your journey to the other side of illusion: IMPOSSIBLE CONTROL 1 – Regardless of how many card discoveries you already know, you’ve never seen one like this! A selected card is found by the performer in a humorous way under impossible circumstances. The spectators shuffle and the performer never sees any cards until the revelation! IMPOSSIBLE CONTROL 2 – Another jaw-dropping card discovery as the performer finds a selected card returned to a random position in the deck at the position named by the spectator himself! MEMORIZED DECK – A two-deck stunner that will absolutely convince your audience that you can memorize a complete deck of cards in seconds in order to locate a selected card. You’ll also learn some great lessons on how to add humor and build suspense in an effect. QUIT SMOKING – A very funny and unexpected effect as the performer produces a long stream of soap bubbles from the end of a cigarette in addition to a twenty-dollar bill. At the end, the cigarette vanishes completely! IMPOSSIBLE CARDS TRANSPOSITION – You’ll be rubbing your eyes as you watch the backs of two selected cards change colors and are subsequently found in an opposite-colored deck that was in plain sight. THE CARDS EXPERT – An amazing demonstration of card dexterity and control. The performer cuts to the four Aces and the four Kings. He then cuts to only red black cards and then to only black cards. He then cuts to alternating red and black cards. For the impossible finish, after a thorough shuffle, the colors completely separate. CHINESE ECONOMY – A wildly visual routine as large Chinese coins vanish, reappear and multiply with absolutely no cover. FOUR FOREVER – A stand-up version of Chinese Economy, ideal for walk-around situations with a climax that features the magic happening right in the spectator’s hands. MATCHING COUPLES – The performer removes the picture cards from the deck and, after they are shown to be mismatched, they magically rearrange themselves by value and suit. For the unbelievable ending, the deck is continually shuffled by the spectator yet the rest of the deck manages to rearrange itself into matching pairs. Running Time Approximately 1hr 42min The Other Side Of Illusion Volume 2by Henry EvansFISM award-winner Henry Evans is back to take you on a guided tour to the other side of illusion – where the impossible becomes possible and wonderful, surprising and often humorous things happen. If you enjoyed his last critically-acclaimed DVD offering, Something More Than An Illusion, you’ve already had a glimpse into the whimsical world of Henry Evans. If you haven’t, you’re in for a rare treat indeed. Here’s what you’ll see during your journey to the other side of illusion: NEEDLE THROUGH DECK – The performer pushes a large, threaded needle through a playing card box. Not an impressive feat until the cards are removed and found to have no holes or any other evidence of the needle and thread passing through them. The perfect opener! RISKY BET – A packet of cards is shuffled by the spectators as the performer places some paper currency into a glass as a bet against failure. The cards are divided into small piles and one is freely chosen. When the value of the cards in the selected packet are added, they are found to match the amount of money in the glass. DOLLAR AND QUARTER – You won’t believe your eyes as a borrowed quarter and dollar bill are visibly fused together to form one of the strangest objects your audience is ever likely to see. The two components are then magically separated and returned to their owners! FLIPPER CARD – A selected card visibly vanishes from between two Queens and is found in the card box which has been in plain sight. One of the most visual card effects you’re ever likely to see! NEW K.O. ROPE – The performer cuts a length of rope into two pieces and then restores them but that is just the beginning of a startling sequence of magical events. Without any further cutting, the rope becomes two lengths again and then suddenly multiplies into three and then four lengths. The performer then restores it back to two and then back to one. For the surprising ending, the rope is in four lengths again and each is handed out for thorough examination. MENTAL POWER – The performer correctly divines a spectator’s thought-of card and then subsequently shows that the spectator had no other choice as every other card in the deck is now blank! KEEN SENSE OF TOUCH – Another impossible location as the performer finds two signed cards in a deck shuffled by the audience in a transparent bag while his eyes are covered. A great stand-up card effect for any size audience! FINDING THE ACES – Imagine being able to locate the four Aces in an instant from a deck that’s been Page 1645/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 completely shuffled by the spectators. A very practical method for an utterly impossible effect. TEN EXACT CUTS – The full details of Henry’s masterpiece, the finale of his FISM act, finally revealed! The performer cuts a deck of cards into ten packets in just a few seconds and then shows one card in the first pack, two in the second and so on to the tenth. For the dumbfounding finish, the deck is shuffled and cut into three packets which are shown to be the three remaining suits – in exact numerical order!

It is a body of work that spans over ten years of study and practice. You'll find everything from a simple one-hand shuffle to an eight packet flourish display along with never before seen tricks so visual you won't believe it's all done with a normal deck. Plus you'll discover over 100 unique sleights that can be adapted and finessed to your own repertoire. Anyone looking to elevate their card magic should check this out. Dan and Dave have been at the forefront of their craft since they were only fourteen years old. They have helped mold a new genre of card magic, a style visually rich and direct. Their style and originality has received acclaim from such megastars as David Blaine and David Copperfield. When they were only 17 years old they performed alongside Guy Hollingworh, Paul Gertner, Chad Long and Bill Malone at the first MAGIC Live convention in Las Vegas, and were the only performers to receive a standing ovation. They were among the first to start a movement with card flourishes, also known as XCM or Extreme Card Manipulation with the release of The Dan and Dave System in 2004. This collection contains a vast array of magical effects, flourishes and everything else their minds have conjured up. From beginner to professional, these DVD's contain something for everyone. Every effect is broken down step by step for a seamless learning experience. Over 6 hours of material explained in detail with multiple angles, on screen text, and slow motion replays.Tricks DVDPowerful walk-around magic that can be done anywhere at anytime, surrounded, and with a normal deck of cards. Contents Card AcrossA selected card is left protruding from half the deck in your left hand while the other half remains in your right hand. Instantly and without the packets ever touching their card vanishes and reappears protruding face-up in the right hand packet. The card can be signed! Fission for AcesAn eight is turned face up on top of the deck. In a splitting action, the eight is ripped into two fours of matching color. One of the fours is handed out, as the remaining four is this time split at the fingertips into two two’s. Lastly, as you can imagine, a two is split into two aces. This quick trick is extremely visual – everything is done at the fingertips. CollectorsWe've taken this classic and usually boring effect and given it STYLE. Two cards are selected and lost in the deck. As the four aces are magically produced, the selections mysteriously appear between them. This is as visual as it gets. Swiss MadeHere’s a remix of the classic 'Back in Time' effect by Steve Freeman. If you know the Freeman trick, just imagine it with a face-up card and you’ve imagined this trick, seriously. In this effect you'll learn the 'db Spin Change', the most visual change we've created and the EASIEST change you'll ever do! Sixty NineThe coolest packet trick you’ll ever perform. The 4 sixes are shown with the added Buck flair. The performer jokes about how if he turns the six around it changes to a nine (pointing to an upside down six from the spectators POV). The next time the performer turns them around, they really do change to 4 nines and the cards can be handed out for examination. Hand to MouthThe spectator is instructed to push their protruding card flush with the deck... By this time the card is already in your mouth. The misdirection is so perfect that you will find yourself performing this surrounded without anyone having a clue. Our finesse and style differentiates this effect from previous handlings. Déjà VuAny card is selected and sandwiched between the two red aces; these cards are clearly placed on the table. Another card is selected, however, the performer miscalls it as the first selection. This second selection is face up on top of the deck. With a snap, the card Page 1654/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 visually transforms into the first selection sandwiched between the red aces. The cards on the table are spread to reveal the second selection sandwiched between the black aces. This is a beautiful transposition effect with a clever plot about déjà vu that will leave you spectators wondering more about what they really just witnessed, or if it happened at all. TiVo TranspoHere's an instant two-card transposition effect. It can be done anytime and surrounded. One selection is placed face-down into deck center while the other remains face-up on top. Visually and with no sneaky moves the two cards transpose. You end clean! TiVo 2.0Here’s another take on the visual two-card transposition. Imagine openly placing a selected card out-jogged in the center of the deck, turning the top card face-up and without ever covering either card, they instantly transpose. In addition, you’ll learn an awesome new double lift from the center. This trick rocks on all levels! Hedbergs PeakIf you ever need a quick trick to send that "wise guy" back to where he belongs, this is it! It leaves them completely stumped after thinking they had you all along. It’s another quick transposition effect but opens several other possibilities with a new move called 'The V Switch'. Twinsplit RemixThe three of clubs is shown at the fingertips in the left hand. You explain how the pips on the card are removable and you pinch the center pip of the three with the fingertips of the right hand. In a quick action, you visually pull off the center pip of the three leaving the ace of clubs in your right hand the two of clubs in your left hand. These cards can be cleanly shown front and back. You can then go on to replace the pip by tossing the ace into the two in which it visually transforms back into the three. This trick is so visual. The cards are always at the fingertips and face up. No duplicate cards or gimmicks required. SubwayHere's a completely modernized version of Earl Nelson's 'Submarine Sandwich'. We've given the effect a few of our signature touches and added teleportation to the plot to make what was a good trick a GREAT routine.

DVD Volume 1 combines two previously released videos: Michael Close's Very Very Close, Volumes 1 and 5. The Invisible Deck - You know the effect of this classic trick: A freely named card is the only face-down card in a face-up deck. But when you watch the performance, you're going to get fooled. Using routines by Bruce Cervon, Allan Ackerman, and Steve Beam as a starting point, Michael has produced a streamlined handling which uses an ordinary deck of cards. Magicians around the world have speculated about this trick. Now you'll learn all the work. The Smiling Mule - A classic by Roy Walton. Michael has eliminated the one bad "moment" in the trick, and the results are staggering. Suitable for close-up or stand-up, this routine has been a mainstay in the repertoires of many top card men. The Ooh-Ah Bird - Give your fingers a rest. Here's the perfect trick if you have to perform for children in a restaurant. The routine is simple, colorful, funny, mysterious, and the child takes an origami figure home as a souvenir. Plus, you'll learn some new work on the venerable Cross-the-Cut Force. If you're new to card magic, this is the perfect trick for you. The Pothole Trick - This is the big one! One of the most talked about tricks in magic, and one of the most baffling. There are lots of "moving hole" tricks out there, but none have the impact and the memorability of The Pothole Trick. If you could really move holes, this is how it would look. Plus, the spectators take home your business card in an impossible condition. Even if magic isn't your profession, if you hand out business cards, The Pothole Trick will make you money. This is one of Michael's most prized routines, and this is the first time the method has been explained on video. In addition, Michael reveals some secrets which have never been released before. This trick is worth the price of the video. Dr. Strangetrick - This handling for Card Warp may well be the most amazing and convincing yet created. Designed to fool the most astute spectator, this is Michael's favorite opening routine. For the first time, all the work is revealed; nothing has been held back. The Judah Shoelace Routine - A great penetration effect resurrected. Stewart Judah's wonderful trick fell out of favor because it required a paper straw. Michael's solution is simple, and makes it easy to carry the props in your pockets. A Trick for O'Brien - George Orwell would have loved this. Utilizing the concept of "who controls the present controls the past; who controls the past controls the future," a prediction effect is raised to miracle status. The principle involved can be applied to many other effects. The Imagination Tester - A weird origami effect in which a paperfold of a belt buckle becomes real. Tut Tut - Four widely-spaced Aces come together and trap a selected card. This sneaky effect allows you to shuffle a deck many times and still be ready for memorized deck mysteries. Myopia - This is very close to real mindreading. Two spectators think of cards. The magician asks one question and can immediately name the cards. The Birthday Book - A spectator selects a playing card. A date book is shown; next to each date is a playing card. The card written next to the spectator's birthday is shown. He has selected the exact same card. Michael Close has used this method to fry magicians and laymen around the world. $ 24.95 Page 1656/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Ultimate Workers Vol. 2 (DVD) - Michael Close 2 Hours 43 Minutes! DVD Volume 2 combines two previously released videos: Michael Close's Very Very Close, Volumes 2 and 7. Pink Floyd - The backs of four jokers change from blue to red to blue again. The perfect opening routine, and it resets immediately! Pink Floyd is an object lesson in logical and efficient card handling. Renaldo the Great - A routine for the venerable Chinese Prayer Vase that will fool your magic buddies and the smart-aleck kid at the restaurant. This funny routine is perfect for table hopping. The El Cheepo Magic Club - Based on Paul Harris' Flash Fold, this is a great routine for kids, and it leaves your business card with the parents. The El Cheepo Magic Club also provides a lesson in using presentation to cover methodological restrictions. Coda Chrome - An unbelievable three way coincidence that will completely baffle magicians and laymen. Based on a trick by Stewart James, Coda Chrome brings the use of "outs" to a new level. Chicken Teriyaki - A beautifully routined Copper- Silver transposition which rings in the gaff in a way that will fly by anybody. Perfect for walk-around conditions, and the magic happens in the spectator's hands. You Hue - A Wild Card routine using the spectator's name and a freely selected color marker. You Hue demonstrates another diabolical use of outs, and the gaff can be used in many other effects. A stunner! Red Blue Mama Fooler - This trick has a strange name, but the effect is killer. The audience decides on the name of any card. A red-backed deck is spread; there is one blue-backed card in the deck. It is the named card. For a kicker, a blue-backed deck is spread. There is only one red-backed card in it. It is also the named card. The Wishing Trick - This is the trick Michael Close developed to help him become comfortable using a memorized deck. The routine is charming, and you will learn important techniques for the memorized deck. The Haunted Deck - Anyone names any card. Without any overt manipulation, the deck cuts itself at the named card. This is another memorized deck trick, but it can also be done without the memorized deck. In addition, Michael has added a visual touch that makes it look as if the deck is alive. Reverse Logic - Here's the perfect card routine for the strolling performer: a series of baffling card reversals. Because the routine is modular, you can stop at any point and still have a strong ending. 26 Cents Worth of Change - This routine is a rarity in magic: a truly impromptu coin trick. Two dimes go through a series of logical changes, ending up with the magician holding only a penny. This is another excellent strolling routine. Flying Home - This is Michael Close's routine for the classic "Homing Card" effect. A signed card flies to the pocket two times. As a kicker, the entire deck flies to the pocket, except for the signed card. $ 24.95 Page 1657/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Ultimate Workers Vol. 3 (DVD) - Michael Close The Ultimate Workers - Routines From The Professional Repertoire Of Michael Close - Volume 3 2 hrs 40 min! DVD Volume 3 combines two previously released videos: Michael Close's Very Very Close Vol. 6 and part of Vol. 3. Erma la Fource - This method for the classic "Oscar" trick fools magicians and laymen alike. The magician makes a prediction: The Name of Your Card is Erma! The spectator names any card. He deals through the deck himself. Each card bears a different name on the back. There is only one "Erma" card. It is the card he named. Tamariz Rabbits - Michael Close's routine for Juan Tamariz' very commercial packet trick. Michael has eliminated the need to switch cards in your pocket, and has still retained the maximum number of changes. This is a wonderful trick for children. The Unreality Machine - Here is another strange Origami effect, involving an offbeat transposition between an origami snowball and a pack of matches. The climax looks like "morphing." Close's Clones - A restaurant routine that provides enormous laughs with minimum work. This is a topical, funny, and very commercial routine. Down for the Count - Here's another funny routine that is simple to do. The magician proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that someone at the table is a vampire. The Card, the Forehead, and the Saltshaker - One of Michael Close's favorite routines, and a masterpiece of audience management, this is the first time that all the work has been explained on video. Audiences around the world have raved over this routine; now is your chance to learn all the details from Michael Close. Too Ahead - This three-phase coin routine is a fine example of diabolical routining. Done standing, it is perfect for table hopping. The subtle handling involved has fooled some of the best magicians in the world, and can be applied to other effects. Four-Card Reiteration - Dan Garrett's marvelous routine provides a lesson in expert card handling. Included is a discussion on palming, and Michael's utility move, The Last Card Push. The Lie Detector - The most commercial version of this classic effect. Three kickers, and the spectators get your business card! $ 24.95 Page 1658/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Ultimate Workers Vol. 4 (DVD) - Michael Close The Ultimate Workers - Routines From The Professional Repertoire Of Michael Close - Volume 4 2 hrs 30 min! DVD Volume 4 combines two previously released videos:Michael Close's Too Close Volume 4 and a portion of Very Very Close Volume 3. The Big Surprise - The perfect way to open and close your show. A funny and seamless handling of the classic Card in Box effect. The assisting spectator discovers that the Big Surprise Canister really does contain a big surprise. A Visit from Rocco - A charming presentation for a great Larry West trick. Using giant bills, the magician gives Rocco and the audience a lesson in arithmetic. Rocco Returns - Rocco's back, with a lesson in Find the Lady. This routine for Ton Onosaka's Lucky Lady provides valuable information concerning the motivated handling of props. Ring Fright - Michael synthesizes ideas from Gaetan Bloom and Terri Rogers to produce a remarkable two object transposition. And because no pulls are used, no harm can come to the spectator's finger ring. Take a Letter - A weird effect using common stationery items. Never have so many magical principles been used in the cause of such a strange routine. Butte Ox? Two Butte Ox! - Michael's handling for the classic Johnny Paul Cheek to Cheek effect. Hilarious and a lesson in intelligent, motivated card handling. And the Unbelievably Useful Comedy Prop comes into its own. This routine is a mainstay of Michael's stand-up act. Bonus routine!- Michael performs (but does not explain) Stupid Travelers. Never has masterful card technique and maniacal behavior been combined in such a silly way. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll phone the authorities. Rubik's Dollar Bill - A penetration effect using a dollar bill, a playing card, and a toothpick. This is the first time all the work has been explained on video! The Growing Toothpick - Thirty seconds of eye-candy, as a toothpick triples in length. Origami Bill Production - A simple and flashy way to give the spectators an origami souvenir. A borrowed bill instantly folds itself into an origami figure. Attach the bill to your business card and you've got the perfect give-away. The Frog Prince - Hailed by the cognoscenti as one of the new "classics" of close-up magic, and one of the most astounding and memorable card routines ever created. A freely selected card transposes with a card which has been folded into an origami frog. An absolute reputation maker. $ 24.95 Page 1659/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 The Unexpected Visitor This adaptation of Doug Brewer's best-selling book is a fantastic collection of coin magic for the walk-around performer. *Sounds Familiar: Coins across to the spectator's hand. A killer transposition at the end takes all the heat off you. *Backhanded: Three different coins vanish and appear under a card, then backfire to your hand. This routine uses sound in a very clever way. *Famous Three Coin Trick: Three coins vanish and reappear (one visually on the spectator's hand)!

The DVD also contains Chef Anton’s complete presentation and explanation of Three-Card Gold, an excellent, unique exhibition routine created by Chef and Whit Haydn. Also on this DVD are appearances by Gazzo, R. Paul Wilson, and Doc Eason discussing their original handlings of the climax of the monte in exhibition, as well as a unique contribution to the bent corner ruse from Ron Wohl. Whit Haydn demonstrates and explains Bob Kohler’s incredible ending for the monte, called Knifed! In this sensational ending, the performer has the spectator hold on to a quarter of the Ace, and pin the rest of the Ace facedown with a pocketknife. Even so, the Ace escapes. The spectator ends up holding on to a quarter of the Joker, and the penknife is stuck firmly through three-quarters of a Joker! Bob has worked out every detail of this ending to make it practical, certain, and a real killer. Further, both DVD’s can be opened in a computer as data discs. Inside is found a complete non-printable e-book (.pdf file) version of our most recent edition of the book The School for Scoundrels Notes on Three-Card Monte. This book contains over 160 pages and more than 180 photos and illustrations, and contains a ton of material on the patter, psychology, moves, glossary, history, and application to magic of three-card monte. Most authorities consider this book to be the best resource on the monte to date: What People are Saying: “If you’ve missed anything, I can’t find it! Your historical research is astounding.” --Gary Ouellet “This is clearly the definitive book on three-card monte. Nothing else even comes close.” --Darwin Ortiz “The School for Scoundrels Notes on Three-Card Monte is the best resource for information on this con that I have ever read.” --Michael Close “This is the best single reference on the Monte to date.” --Jamy Ian Swiss Also included on the ROM section of the discs is an historical appendix containing a collection of interesting and printable photos, and long passages from several of the most important primary sources on the monte, including eye-witness accounts of three-card monte being played in the nineteenth century from “Beyond the Mississippi,” and “Wanderings of a Vagabond,” as well as George Devol’s defense of Canada Bill Jones from “Forty Years a Page 1670/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Gambler on the Mississippi,” and Allan Pinkerton’s eye-witness account of Canada Bill in action from “Criminal Reminiscences and Detective Sketches.” Both the video and ROM portions of the disc are meant to provide the student of three-card monte with the most complete, accessible, and illuminating resource on the game ever offered. Much of the information contained in this set is original and/or unpublished. Whether you are a magician, gambling expert, historian, or hustler—everything you need to become a true “expert” on the game is right here in this two-volume DVD. $ 42.95 Page 1671/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Tickling The Mind by Mel Mellers Vol 1 or 2 (watch video) View Clip Are you short of new ideas and presentational concepts for your magic?

He takes off his ring, takes the money from his wallet, and takes the watch off his wrist. He then very cleanly puts the items in an envelope and openly tears the envelope to shreds. Tommy instantly holds up his hand and there is the ring back on his finger and the watch on his wrist. He opens up his wallet and there is the money back inside. Truly stunning. Magic Ranch - Tommy Wonder's take on a Don Alan classic. A plastic egg suddenly appears on the table in front of the spectator and well away from Tommy. A card is selected and lost in the deck of cards. The plastic egg is opened to reveal a miniature duplicate of the selected card. The audience is further stunned when the deck is shown to contain all duplicates of a different card from that which was selected. Through the Eye of The Needle - A needle and length of thread are shown. The thread is rolled into a big clump and placed on top of the needle. The thread is then miraculously pulled through the eye of the needle again and again until the entire clump is neatly threaded and snipped off at the top. You're left with a needle tightly threaded with 20 separate strands and an audience in disbelief! The Tamed Card - Tommy Wonder's unbelievable take on the Peter Kane/Frank Garcia Wild Card plot. Tommy has added a fantastic presentation, turning this into an entertaining piece of theater. It requires no table, it resets easily, has magnificent card changes, is extremely practical, and is designed to fool even those who see it over and over again. Two Cup Routine - Tommy Wonder's claim to fame, the Cups and Balls routine, has fooled some of the best minds in magic. It's practical, does not require loading from the pocket, and will amaze your audiences over and over. $ 24.95 Page 1673/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Tommy Wonder's Visions of Wonder Vol 2 - DVD VOLUME 2 (123 minutes) ELIZABETH IV - The performer removes a clear envelope with a wager and a prediction. Any card is named and contents of the clear envelope are openly removed. The prediction matches the freely named card. RUBIK'S CARD -Tommy shows a small box filled with blocks that have card pips on some of their sides. A card is selected and the lid is removed from the box to show that the blocks have somehow arranged themselves to form an image of the selected card. DEJA REVERSE - Two cards are selected and the first selection magically turns face up. It is turned face down and a magical gesture is made again with the intention of the second selection turning face up. However, when the cards are spread, it is the first selection once again. The first card almost takes on a life of its own, repeating its antics, and in a final act of desperation, Tommy rips up the first selection and tosses it aside. The deck is spread and there, restored face up in the center, is the first card once again. The torn pieces are turned over to reveal the second selection. SOCKED COINS - This routine has never been explained and has been a closely guarded secret that Tommy Wonder has kept for himself. It's one of the finest coin routines ever created. In a lesson on how to lose money, coins penetrate a spectator's hand in an increasingly impossible manner. It resets, can be done without a table, and is incredibly strong. Tommy goes on to explain his workings on Cough DROP, vanishing bird cage, the boomerang card, the Zombie Ball, and his wonderful ring and rope routine. $ 24.95 Page 1674/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Tommy Wonder's Visions of Wonder Vol 3 - DVD VOLUME 3 (146 minutes) NEST OF BOXES - Tommy discusses in tremendous detail three unbelievable versions of the Borrowed Watch to Nest of Boxes.

This gets the same strong reaction of the Card On Forehead but with coins. Practical and incredibly strong. AMBITIOUS CARD PLUS RING BOX - See why a card trick gets standing ovations time after time. Tommy slowly builds and builds the impossibility of the classic Ambitious Card effect and ends with one of the best versions of the signed card to box plot in existence. Tommy also demonstrates his fabulous handlings for two classic effects-Card Through Handkerchief and Everywhere and Nowhere. $ 24.95 Page 1675/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Tony Clark's Award Winning Card Routine In this hot new DVD, Tony will give you a detailed step by step private lesson that teaches you his award winning card routine.

Achingly slowly, with no cover, he let go of one of the pieces and the card was restored! Paul Harris shook his head and softly muttered "If this kid is not using some kind of sticky substance, he owns me." Daniel restored the third and fourth pieces in equally miraculous ways and handed Paul the card....no sticky substance! In lieu of Paul's mortal soul, Daniel agreed to let Paul get Torn out to the world. It really is the next great leap forward in this piece-by-piece restoration. Totally practical and even more magical than the original TV-only version With this DVD and a little work, you'll have a breathtaking magical effect you can do anywhere with any freely selected signed card. Torn didn't just astonish Paul Harris. Daniel has owned just about every magician he has come across, and for sure every laymen he's shown the effect. Daniel Garcia's "Torn" is a must for anyone who wants to perform a truly miraculous piece-by-piece restoration. $ 24.95 Page 1679/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Total Destruction DVD Vol 1 - Hooser World Wide Format Troy Hooser exploded from magic’s elite underground in 2001 with his “DesTROYers” book, exposing his incredible skills to the entire magic community at large for the first time.

Any SIGNED object is borrowed, and a bottle is borrowed. This defies all scientific laws. The object is dropped onto the bottle. Naturally, it would just stop, and fall to the ground. Not with Trespass. It is seen in full view, and it visually penetrates as it drops. The coin is seen inside, and heard. You hand the bottle back, and they can keep the bottle FOREVER with the coin inside. This miracle came from the twisted mind of Dan Army. They can stare at the bottle until their blood runs cold, and they will not find even the slightest defect to the bottle. The object will stay inside until doomsday. It's not going anywhere. This beats out any effect like it. Trespass is the most impromptu effect of it's kind. Get ready for Trespass.

The magician then proceeds to fold the card into quarters and tear it right down the middle with the signature in plain view; that’s right, no switches or substitution of pieces! The halves are put together and torn once more. The magician plainly counts four separate pieces without fumbling to hide or mask those familiar, bulky, and suspicious looking edges. No funny looking fans and no false counts. The first two pieces are held edge to edge and, with no cover, the magician simply blows on them and they become one. This portion of the card is now cleanly shown front and back and may even be examined by the spectator to confirm that the signature is intact. The next piece is held flush with the card and the seam is slowly massaged, joining it to the rest of the card. The fourth and final piece is shown and touched to the card whereupon it instantly links to the rest of the card. The magician then hands the card to the spectator stating that it is really only half way restored. The card is taken back and by simply rubbing, the creases are caused to vanish. As if that weren’t enough, the magician then peels the signature from the card, gives it (the signature) back to the spectator, and returns the card to the deck. This is a piece by piece restoration All four pieces are fully restored one at a time. There is no switch during the tearing procedure; the card is actually torn twice! Four thin and separate pieces are shown. Each piece is shown before each restoration, there are no \"bluff\" restorations. $ 24.95 UNSEEN FORCES - 20 Invisible Elastic Bands & Instructional DVD Make objects move by Unseen Forces...Imagine making a spoon move across a table without touching it...Or how about make a lemon wedge float from one glass to another...This amazing product comes with 20 invisible elastic bands and a DVD that shows you all of the popular tricks! $ 14.95 Up In Smoke by Paul Cummins (DVD) There are seven routines on this DVD. Four of the coin routines involve the "underhanded" process that allows for extremely clean handling and must be performed standing. Two of the coin routines are performed on the table-top. Finally, there is a bonus card routine, performable where ever you have a little table space and three willing spectators. There are four sections to the DVD, each with its own submenus for easy access. One section is performance only. Another section explains virtually every coin sleight used within all six coin routines (including the Gallo Pitch, an outstanding substitute for the venerable Han Ping Chien), those sleights NOT limited to the "underhanded" process. The third section describes the how-to of each routine, and finally, the last section has the performance and explanation of the bonus card routine. All of the sleights and routines are explained in great detail. Page 1689/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Effects Included on this DVD: *The Invisible Hand – An absolutely baffling coin vanish and reproduction, performed stand-up and surrounded.

Underhanded methodology leaves no fathomable clue for your spectators and the routine introduces a new sequence in which the last two coins travel from hand to hand without the hands coming together at all! *The above routines introduce my handling and performance management of an old sleight-of-hand utility device that has been updated and made extremely practical. Great emphasis has been put on detailed explanation of this ‘underhanded’ concept. *Top Billing – The original Matrix routine using paper currency for covers, this routine has been a worker for over 25 years when table-hopping at restaurants and corporate events. *KnihC – A – Knihc – This version of the Chink – A – Chink plot features an astounding instant reversal. An extremely easy routine to perform that will stun your audiences. *Another Sequestered Collectors – The Bonus Card Routine for this tape, a collectors effect that is notably direct and uncluttered, it is the only routine of its genre that I use for the laity.

The classic series that spawned numerous careers and books is now easier learn and apply than ever before. Jeff McBride said of Wonder Words : "You're a spell-weaver of words that can even make mimes speak...I'm living proof. Your material has dramatically transformed the way I'm doing my spell weaving these days!" Discover the inside work used by such performers as Larry Becker, Doug Henning, David Blaine, Banachek, Dan Harlan, Joel Bauer, Doc Eason, Michael Close, Lee Earle, Docc Hilford, Mark Strivings, and a countless number of television and stage performers. The list is infinite. Discover the true power of words and how words can change what people see, think, hear, and feel. Learn how words alone may be used as your only gimmick in a trick. Create miracles and do nothing – but use these "magic words" to produce miracles. Learn the original work on "multiple reality", "definition=reality", and a host of other principles and effects found in the books of others. Move from beyond words to subconscious cues and patterns, personality types, and a host of "secret weapons" the very top performers still don't want you to know. Here is the work that started it all... and continues to influence every phase of modern magic and mentalism. The modern day classic now on CD . Volume 1 Imagine being able to take control of the very thoughts, perceptions, and responses of your audience. Picture your audiences' amazement when they really can not explain the trick because the magic is done with words, not sleights or props. This is what Wonder Words will teach you. It is prestidigitation of the mind. It's finally here, the audio book everyone has been waiting for. After lots of prodding from Larry Becker, Jeff McBride, Docc Hilford, Dr. Juris, Lee Earle and many other pros, Kenton has agreed to part with the information that he has kept under tight wraps to all but a very select few. Whether you're a magician or mentalist, Kentons' secrets will radically alter your work and the reaction to it. Revealed are the verbal tools used by top psychologists to influence and control clients' actions and attitudes. This is not a dissertation on hypnosis, this is Wonder Words -- The Art of Linguistic Deception. Perhaps even more telling was the response at Docc Hilfords' Weerd Weekend. Wonder Words was a complete Page 1695/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 sell-out less than an hour after Kenton introduced it. Docc himself said "This is the new Fitzkee." Others said "One of the most significant works ever produced in magic," "This is going into the library at the Castle." Even before it's official release, Jeff McBride praised Wonder Words saying, "You're a spell-weaver of words that can even make mimes speak...I'm living proof. Your material has dramatically transformed the way I'm doing my spell weaving these days!" As important as this material is to your work, you're probably anxious to get a copy of your own. Finally you can...here's how. Just fill out the order form on the back of this sheet, mail it in and very soon you will know what few others know... The Art of Linguistic Deception. Volume Two Wonder Words Volume Two is subtitled "The Real Work" because it is exactly that. In Wonder Words Volume One Kenton began the journey....Volume Two turns that journey into a performance altering adventure. So what's the big deal? For starters: Wouldn't it be great if people constantly talked about a trick they saw you perform when in fact you NEVER EVER did that trick at all? Just think of it! There is a secret way to simply tell a story and cause people to believe they actually SAW YOU PERFORM the trick, when all you did was TALK ABOUT IT! (No, it isn't "hypnosis"). In Volume One, you were (As Michael Close said) "Totally Blown Away" by how easy it was to greatly improve your performance by changing a few simple words. Volume Two -- The Real Work offers equally simple techniques that achieve even more startling results. Still want more? Well of course there are killer effects as part of the package. Like how to cause a spectator to TRAVEL THROUGH TIME and come back with PHYSICAL PROOF. This is directly from Kenton's act. Yes all the little touches Kenton uses are there as always. What else? How about an "Invisible Deck" routine with no deck at all? No stooges or other sneaky set ups either. The spectator just MIMES taking a card from thin air, and you can TELL them what they chose (No it isn't some silly mathematical thing either). Another diabolical effect is a never before published telephone trick. Already several performers are using this bit to book thousands of dollars in extra performances.... You can too! OF COURSE THERE'S MUCH MORE... Perhaps you'd like to be able to point into the sky and cause a cloud, any cloud a spectator chooses, to vanish from the sky. No kidding. It's easy once you know the right WORDS. Kenton gives you the WHOLE story on how to do this with words alone. Imagine you have a spectator just THINK of any letter in any word they choose. Now imagine that you not only tell the spectator the letter they are thinking about, but you also describe the EXACT THOUGHTS they had while deciding on that particular letter! Isn't that what a REAL "mindreader" would be able to do? Now you can! Did we mention the ability to look at a spectator and KNOW if they would "play along" or be overly skeptical? You will learn this too. Wouldn't it be great if you could determine how a spectator felt about money, people, their play time, their work time, etc. just by a spectator uttering a few simple words? You can, and Kenton will tell you how. Page 1696/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Of course there is still so much more! So just consider this: If you have ever wanted to be a rousing success in your work; If you have ever wanted to honestly MOVE an audience; If you have ever wanted to be considered "legendary"; If you have ever wanted people to remember your shows for YEARS even DECADES to come; If you have ever wanted to learn the REAL WORK that only the most successful acts in entertainment use, THEN THESE TAPES ARE FOR YOU. If you don't care about ANY of these things, then maybe all the effects above have got your attention. There's even more of those too! Whatever your reason for purchasing Wonder Words Volume Two, you're bound to be blown away by the material it contains. If you have Volume One you already know how important this series is to your performances. Many of you have applied the principles in the first volume to your "other" work. Find Out Why Movie Studio Heads, Theatrical Directors, Lawyers, Publishers and Performers The World Over Have Been Anxiously Awaiting! Volume Three Kenton ends the series with a BANG including contributions from Jeff McBride, Dan Harlan, Joel Bauer, Docc Hilford, and MORE. This final volume will leave you breathless! The book alone is over 50 pages in length, with detailed effects direct from the acts of working pros. There is also a complete and precise index to BOTH Volumes Two AND Three, for easy reference (Volume One has its own index). And Volume Three is JAM-PACKED, the biggest volume ever! So what else is in here? Imagine being able to get a spectator to scream, just by saying a few seemingly harmless words. Just think of an entire audience believing in you INSTANTLY, because you speak a single phrase. Learn to stop unwanted annoyances dead in their tracks. Discover the one secret word that causes people to do what you want them to - it's proven scientifically! Uncover the "code" used throughout the series. This alone can expand the series into the equivalent of another several volumes. Hear how your tone of voice can become a "gimmick" in any effect or routine. Uncover the secret about ALL words! And that's just for starters... What about the "tricks?" A spectator holds his watch and merely THINKS of a special moment in time. You not only begin to describe this event, you reveal the time - which now shows on his watch! Or how about this: You not only talk about "subliminal programming" - you prove it. In fact, this might be how the trick really works! There are more than a half-dozen other incredible effects. You won't believe all that Kenton has given up THIS time - the final time! $ 129.95 World Renowned Magic of Paul Potassy-3 DVD Set (lowest price) The World-Renowned Magic of Paul PotassyA Master Magician Reveals a Lifetime of Secrets for the Very First Time on Video! Paul Potassy has been called “a master of magical minimalism with maximum impact.” He has performed for 66 years in 44 different countries, for celebrities, heads of state and even the Pope. He speaks six languages fluently and has been called “the Maurice Chevalier of magic” and “Europe’s most successful cabaret magician of the last fifty years” by famed British magic producer John Fisher. In this very special DVD set, you’re about to meet an extraordinary man and watch and learn the thoroughly entertaining and baffling material that came of his lifelong love affair with magic. Top-name magicians flew in from all over to witness this monumental event – Paul Potassy committing this material to video for the very first time – and you’re about to see why. In Volume One, you’ll see the act that made Paul Potassy’s international reputation. Then, you’ll get to meet the man Page 1697/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 himself as you’re treated to an in-depth interview conducted by Max Maven. In Volume Two, you’ll learn the diabolical details of the Potassy act as each trick, including every detail of its preparation and performance, is laid out in exacting detail. Finally, in Volume Three, you’ll be treated to more magic from Potassy’s vast repertoire. Then, after you’re left shaking your head following the performance, you’ll be taken backstage and shown the inner workings of these extremely strong performance pieces. Volume One – The Paul Potassy Show SYMPATHETIC SILKS – One of Potassy’s signature effects and the one he always uses to open his show. Two sets of scarves mysteriously tie and untie under increasingly humorous conditions. For the finish, all the scarves instantly tie themselves together! THE RAZOR BLADES – An amazing updating to a classic effect of magic. The performer apparently swallows a large number of sharp razor blades and a length of thread. When the thread is pulled from the mouth, the razor blades are seen tied to it. PICKPOCKET – Under the guise of helping with a card trick, two spectators find themselves in a hilarious situation as the performer repeatedly produces cards from their jackets and pockets. The performer then begins to produce personal items that he apparently lifted from the spectators, ending with an amazing wristwatch steal. NEWSPAPER TEAR – A section of newspaper is torn into pieces and then restored. The performer offers to explain how it’s done but the explanation leaves the audience even more amazed and baffled!BILL IN POTATO – A borrowed bill is initialed, the serial number noted and then subsequently vanished. It is miraculously found to be in the middle of a potato freely chosen by a member of the audience! SING-SING – A chosen card, signed by two spectators, is shuffled back into the deck only to be found not just in the performer’s wallet but between two metal plates that are completely sealed with rubber bands in both directions! THE PREDICTION – One spectator chooses a book from a stack of normal paperback books and a word from that book while another chooses the name of one of the world’s great cities. The performer opens an envelope that was in plain view throughout the performance and it’s found that he’s correctly predicted both spectators’ choices! THE CARDS IN THE BUCKET – A card is selected and shuffled back into the deck and the cards are then cascaded into a champagne bucket. The performer lowers a length of rope into the bucket and when he pulls it back up, the selected card is found to have been lassoed. THE ENCORE CARD STAB – A card is chosen and after it’s lost back into the deck, the cards are spread face down on a table. The performer is blindfolded yet manages to find the card by impaling it on the tip of a knife. POTASSY INTERVIEW conducted by Max Maven – Meet the man behind the tricks as he talks with Max Maven about his life, his inspirations and how magic literally saved his life. It’s a fascinating journey into the heart and soul of one of the world’s best magicians. Volume Two – Explanations It’s all here—everything you need to know about the wonderful effects performed in The Paul Potassy Show on Volume One. Potassy dissects every one of these tricks, showing you all of the nuances that make each one of these pieces a showstopper. These are the effects that made an international reputation for Paul Potassy and now they’re all here—for you! Volume Three – More Effects from the Repertoire of Paul Potassy BILLFOLDING – An astounding and extremely visual bill change with no gimmicks that can be performed surrounded. This is Paul Potassy’s favorite close-up effect! CARD IN GLASS – A new and novel way to reveal a selected card. A chosen card is shuffled back into the deck which is then placed into a drinking glass. When the glass is inverted, all of the cards fall to the table . . . except for the selection! CARD ON FOREHEAD – Another entertaining way to reveal a chosen card. A card is selected and returned to the deck. The performer and spectator both place their hands on their foreheads as the performer attempts to read the spectator’s thoughts. The performer successfully names the selected card and when he lowers his hand, the chosen card is on his forehead! UPSIDE DOWN CARD – After a card is chosen and returned, the deck is shuffled with half the deck face up while the other half is face down. At the performer’s command, all of the cards right themselves save for the spectator’s selection. CLASSIC FORCE – Paul Potassy is a master of this elusive sleight and provides not only his handling but subtle tips that will enable you to add this powerful weapon to your own card magic arsenal. You’ll even learn how to accurately and reliably use the Classic Force behind your back! PREDICTION COMBINATION – The performer writes a prediction and isolates it in a drinking glass. A spectator selects a card, remembers it and mixes it back into the pack. A second spectator is asked to think of a small number. The performer reads the first spectator’s mind and reveals the name of the selected card. Then, the chosen number is counted down to in the deck to find the actual selection. Finally, the written prediction is revealed to show that the performer had accurately predicted the card from the outset. THINK A CARD – A miracle of card magic. The cards are spread at a spectator’s eye level as he invites the onlooker to just “think a card.” Though the card is never removed from the pack, the performer is able to name it. Potassy has Page 1698/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 refined this to the point where it can be repeated several times, making it all the more baffling. CARD THROUGH HANKY – Potassy’s version of this magical classic. A card is chosen and returned to the deck, which is then wrapped in a handkerchief. The performer takes the ends of the handkerchief, gives the bundled deck a shake, and the selected card apparently passes right through the center. POTASSY BRAINWAVE – A spectator, chosen by the roll of a die, calls out a card that is found to be the only card reversed in an openly-displayed deck. This is repeated again with the same inexplicable result. THE CARDS ACROSS – A small packet of cards is divided among two spectators and the performer magically passes cards between them while the spectators are holding onto, and even sitting on, the cards. Learn how to make this classic trick play even for a large audience. THE CARD IN THE CIGARETTE – Another reputation maker! A chosen card is torn into pieces. One piece is held by a spectator while the others are vanished. The card is miraculously found rolled up in a borrowed cigarette which was segregated in a drinking glass even before the card was selected. And, yes . . . the piece is fitted to the card for verification! TEN CARDS TO POCKET – A showpiece with just a few playing cards that will play for the largest audience! Cards mysteriously and invisibly travel from the performer’s hands to his pockets. Also, Potassy, along with Jeff McBride, demonstrates some unique card manipulations and provides some insight into how to construct a versatile and durable magic table.

THUMB TIP HANDLINGAn extremely clever and direct handling with a lot of charms of its own!(And again, darn easy!) JC'S HANDLINGInspired by a switch created by J.C. Wagner, you can perform this handling in your underwear (depending upon the gig!) THE SLYDINI WAYJay once asked himself the question, "How would the great Tony Slydini perform Wrap It Up?" This is the answer! TRANSPOSITION SEQUENCEThe paper wrapper and block of gum star in a surreal series of magic moments, each more impossible than the last! IMPOSSIBLE RESTORATIONThe wrapper is torn and restored in the most visually impossible manner imaginable, complete with a SURPRISE REAPPEARANCE of the block of gum. Start your own religion today! LO-TECH HANDLINGPerfect for real-world workers, this down-and-dirty approach leaves you surprisingly CLEAN! ORAL FIXATIONWhile chewing gum, you slowly tear the wrapper into pieces, ball them up and pop them into your mouth. A moment later the neatly wrapped block of gum appears from between your smiling lips. One of Jay's favorite sleight-of-tongue bar effects.Running Time Approximately 105minsAdditional Image(s) $ 16.95 Page 1700/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 Wrinkles on the Table (2 DVD set) by Steve Shufton After practicing and performing magic for almost 40 years, I thought it was time to contribute some of my most valuable "wrinkles" to the magic community. These effects on this DOUBLE DVD are for serious finger-flingers. Intimate detailed instruction is unsurpassed. Every effect on this DVD features some original moves and thinking, addressing some classic effects: *Cups and Balls - what would happen if they took on a life of their own? My cup routine includes some new presentational ideas and strategies as well as some new wrinkles I'm sure you will use. If you are a cup freak, this is for you! *Cards and Coins - a magician fooler. This routine accomplishes the same effect - with a backfire, using all new moves. I wanted to design the most natural looking moves to accomplish this favorite effect. This is the most convincing and magical matrix routine I have yet devised - and it will fool those "in the know"! *Okito Box Routines - Here are a couple routines using an ungimmicked Okito box. "4 out and in" uses some of Roth's handlings as a launching point. But 4 coins travel invisibly out of and into the box, one at a time, using no extra coins and an ungimmicked box. This routine features some original moves to accomplish the impossible in a most convincing way. Then, the "Okito Copper Silver" routine is a new idea and a real killer. A copper coin switches places with a silver coin in the box TWICE, and all can be examined before and after. No gimmicked box. Another routine that will perplex the Magi! *Intimate Coins across takes advantage of a rarely used ploy to bring this miracle literally under the nose of the spectators! Starting with empty hands and examined coins, three coins invisibly travel from hand to hand, ultra close up. Perfect for one on one, restaurants or small gatherings. No shells! Easy to do and a close up KILLER! *The BAKER/ROTH Coins Through Table uses a simple Han Pien Ching subtlety. This move becomes ever so smooth and invisible - even for the wise! *New Spellbound Move you will put in your act at once! This new technique allows you to show your hands undeniably empty, and then the coin changes again! *A new look at Thought of Card to Impossible Location is a tribute to Anneman. Some new tools to accomplish the impossible! Is there more? Yes!

The majority of the work was the struggle to "make the impossible possible" to "realize the impossible effect". You can show both hands are completely empty. There are very few suspicious moves. Make the effect work in the most impossible locations. In consideration of these things and examine the method with more persuasion, then finally connect all "methods" and show them as "routine".We don’t think this is just an "effect". This is one of the exhibitions of our study and will be a new standard of magic technique as revolutionary way that equals other masterpieces. The basic effects of "X-OR" are following three; 1) A.C.A.FYou show both hands are completely empty and draw attention to gathered fingertips.When you pick quietly in the air, a coin will appear suddenly at the fingertips!Then you directly hand it to the spectators and they check it.Of course they don’t find anything.They also can check your hands, body and everything.2) F.C.C.GThe spectator receives a clear glass and checks it carefully.You retrieve the glass from the spectator and show both hands are empty, the cover the glass with a hand.At the next moment, there is a sound that something dropped into the glass. And there appears a coin from covered place.3) M.C.A.F.After you let the spectators check the coin, you hold it at the fingertips.At the moment you rub your finger, the coin squashes and finally completely disappears!In the end you can repeat the first effect, A.C.A.F.Features:-The set up only takes a few seconds.-You can hand the coins to the spectators.-The effect can be done by only one hand.-You can show both hands free and perform with half sleeves or T-shirts.-The biggest point is that the effect happens at your "fingertips".-The coin appearance or melt away happens at the fingertips. The above 3 effects can be performed as series in one routine with logical development and can be repeated any time.•No magnets.•No thread or pull.•No gimmick coins.•No stooges.•Can use any kinds of coins. Effects that have been performed with both hands are now possible with only one hand and without any suspicious moves. $ 24.95 Page 1702/2394 Madhatter Magic Shop Catalog 10/2007 You Blue It by Ed Ellis - DVD For over 25 years, Ed Ellis has performed close-up magic, sleight of hand illusions, and full time table magic for Hollywood, TV, and sports celebrities.
