Burn Witch Burn trick booklet by Docc Hilford Burn Witch Burn trick booklet by Docc Hilford

A mysterious twist on a classic effect. A borrowed $100 bill is marked with a sigil of protection. It is put in one of 3 envelopes. The other envelopes hold slips of newspaper.

Three lighters are proven to operate and are randomly selected by 3 spectators. The envelopes are mixed by the spectators and handed, in order, to each spectator.

You claim the sigil will protect the money through the powers of nature. The first spectator ignites his lighter and burns his envelope. The second spectator does the same. The final spectator cannot light his lighter! The remaining envelope is unharmed! When the envelope is opened, it contains the borrowed money. Whew!

Finally, the sigil is erased from the $100 bill, and without the sigil to protect it the money starts burning. You quickly extinguish it and take your bows.

With a very few props, this is big theatre that packs a punch! Add real meaning to your performance:

It's direct!

It's fun!

The sigil protects the money, even when its location in unknown!

In this act the spectators NEVER fail; in fact, they succeed!

It's fair!

It's spectacular!

There's a completely free choice of envelopes AND lighters.

Three spectators, money, suspense, and FIRE! That's theatrical!

It's safe!

It's simple!

There is no chance of the lighter burning the money or even igniting.

This really "packs small and plays big!" You'll be performing this piece right after reading the instructions.

The Dance of Shiva trick booklet by Docc Hilford The Dance of Shiva trick booklet by Docc Hilford
Currently out of Print

Imagine this: you ask someone to think of a line from their favorite poem. Something you could not possibly know. They write the sentence across the center of their business card. They fold it and drop it on the table. You pick it up, tighten the creases, and place it in their palm. Actions that take less than five seconds. The folded card never leaves their view.

In that brief time, you have read the entire sentence right in front of the spectator! After revealing the secret information, the card can be opened, checked, and even shown to the spectator!

You don't have to tear up the paper in order to get the information like a Center Tear. You only use the single billet! There isn't any switching.

The Dance of Shiva delivers the information to you as fast as you can read it, but keeps it in view for as long as you need. No quick glances. The same billet is always in view. You use only your hands and the paper or card. You don't shield the card at any time. The Dance of Shiva can be used to answer questions, duplicate designs, in word tests with actual book pages, with playing cards, maps or about any creative mental effect where secret information is needed.

It doesn't seem possible, but The Dance of Shiva does exactly that. The Dance

of Shiva has these important features:

No special props; you're always ready.

It can be done surrounded or standing.

There is no need for a dummy or duplicate billet.

No need to openly tear the billet apart to get the information as in the Center tear.

No tilting or squeezing of the billet - not a peek!

The folded billet never leaves the sight of the sitter.

The information is read in front of the sitter, not on your lap or behind

something.

No windows cut in the card; it can be THEIR business card.

There is no switching.

The information is in front of you, so you do not have to read quickly.

You are absolutely clean before and after the effect.

It takes less than 5 seconds to reveal the writing.

The method can be repeated for the same audience!

The written information is in the center of the card as it logically should be.

When writing, the sitter has complete freedom to handle the card.

Unlike anything previously invented by anyone, REALLY!

Plus 16 additional original effects and handling tips.

Easy to do - but reserved for real professionals.

Enchantments - Magic for Cards and Hands - by Wesley James Enchantments - Magic for Cards and Hands - by Wesley James
With Wesley James's Enchantments you will find yourself confronting one of the largest volumes of original card magic ever conceived by one man--500 pages of shrewd and sophisticated material by a modern creator and performer who has repeatedly shown his ability to make important and lasting contributions to the field.

Wesley James has been a palpable presence for many years on the cutting edge of New York City's card scene and magic underground. During more than fifty years in magic, twenty-five as a full-time professional, he performed nearly every variety of magic from close-up to illusions, from kid shows to corporate parties, and everything between. For many years he refused to lecture for magicians, reserving his original material to enable him to earn his living. Now retired, he shares his professional secrets freely.

Enchantments is an important testament to Mr. James's devotion, cunning and expertise in a world in which he rubbed shoulders and traded thoughts with the twentieth century's finest cardmen, from Vernon to Marlo, from Krenzel to Dingle. These personal involvements, amplified by a thorough study of the literature of card magic, have produced a body of work rare in the quality of its thought and innovation.

Enchantments collects and presents in illuminating detail the fruits of Wesley James's intense involvement with the invention and perfection of card magic from the 1960's right up to yesterday. Within the covers of this volume you will find fresh plots playing neighbor to new presentations and combinations of past classics and overlooked gems. You will find effects with Aces and packets, presentations of visual magic and mental magic; and you will find a wealth of new sleights and tools, with far-reaching possibilities for application, including in-depth studies of false shuffles and deals, multiple lifts, passes and palming.

Enchantments is a milestone from one of card magic's most innovative and persistent thinkers. Its contents benefit from a rare combination of technical knowledge and performing experience. To read this book is to share with Mr. James in a breadth of thought, a depth of understanding and an enchantment in the presentation of quality card magic!
