DAVID STONE - REAL SECRETS OF CLOSE UP MAGIC - THE BOOK DAVID STONE - REAL SECRETS OF CLOSE UP MAGIC - THE BOOK
BECOME A FIRST-RATE CLOSE-UP PERFORMER WITH THIS INDISPENSABLE GUIDE

'We all know that having good effects is a basic necessity, but with David, the magic begins the second he arrives and lasts until the second he leaves. He leads us elsewhere, inviting us to think of nothing else. His presence, his magnetism, the connection he knows how to establish with the public, his punctuality, his professionalism - all these are the ingredients that enable him to create these moments. You should know that, in this book, he explaines EXACTLY how he himself does it. When filming the two DVD's 'The real secrets of magic' we had to face facts: painful though it was, we would have to cut out HUGE chunks of the advice if we were to make a watchable DVD. David then decided to repackage all the knowledge he had gathered together for the DVD in this book. I'm not sure if David realizes the magnitude of the gift he's giving you. Some of the professionals who read the book before it was released, cautioned that he was 'sawing off the very branch he was sitting on'. But that's just the way David is - generous.' - Jean-Luc Bertrand

THE MAGIC GOURMET By Lewis Jones THE MAGIC GOURMET By Lewis Jones
10" x 7" (246 x 175 mm) softback, with full-color cover 154 pages. 44 effects. 100 photographic illustrations.

Printed on Lumi Silk paper.

Three-quarters of the effects use playing cards. The rest use coins, bills, books, rubber bands, business cards, and calendars.

Spectators read each others' minds.

A tossed coin will fall heads-up or tails-up, as you wish.

You beat a gambler who plays by the random throws of two dice - even though the dice are imaginary.

You demonstrate that you can always tell when a player is bluffing.

You perform the 4-card Brainwave with four ordinary cards.

You push cards through the table, one at a time.

A signed card vanishes and re-appears inside a magazine at any pre-determined page.

Anyone thinks of a card from a shuffled deck, then goes to the phone, and is told the card he is thinking of.

Someone grabs one of your cards and pockets it - what you do? You'll find out how you can still come out on top.

Falling For You by Andrew Gerard Falling For You by Andrew Gerard
"Very rarely do I feel that I have created a new plot in card magic that is unique and baffling. This effect and presentation I feel is both..."

- Andrew Gerard

A spectator is shown a small bunch of cards and is asked to remember one.

The cards are mixed and dropped to the ground by a spectator or magician one at a time landing in a neat little pile… except for one. One card takes off and flies towards the person that thought of a card! The card is named, turned over and shown to be the one they thought of!

No elastic

No reset

No threads

No magnets

No wires

Self contained/ self working

"Finally a genuine breakthrough in plot and method! I know everyone will be doing this."

- Paul Harris

The Tommy Pad PDF Book by Thom Bleasdale The Tommy Pad PDF Book by Thom Bleasdale
A transparent covered pad is handed to the participant. They write or draw what they want. They fold up the page and put it in their pocket. You take the pad back, close it, and put it down or put it in your pocket. Then you reveal. It is that clean.

The reset? 5 seconds (approximately).

You get the instructions on how to construct and use what is possibly ultimate impression device for close up or stage use. I have been using this reliably for about 3 years, and now I am releasing it to the community. This is a NEW combination of methods, that is original with me.

It's also very cheap to make. Quite possibly the ultimate impression pad in existance.

Please note this is a PDF book which will be emailed to you on receipt of your payment
