David Penn has finally released his Coinvexed gimmick to the magic world!
Effect
After signing a coin the spectator experiences something extraordinary as the signed coin bends within their own hands. The spectator can then keep the coin as a souvenir that freezes the moment of magic forever.
No switches! The coin that the spectator has signed is the same coin that bends. Only the coins and the sharpie are seen and the sharpie is perfectly normal. No special chemicals! Just a diabolically clever gimmick that hides in full view.
"David Penn has the best solution for a signed, bending coin routine I have ever seen! This is sure to become a regular performance piece for many professional magicians."
- Nicholas Einhorn, Magic Circle Close-Up Centenary Magician
"Finally, a coin bending gimmick that I actually want to use!"
- Marc Spellman, leading European mentalist
"This is too good to sell!"
- Braco, World renowned inventor and magical historian
"This is what we have come to expect from David Penn. Revolutionary new thinking and an expertly structured routine that is now destined to become a modern classic!"
- Chris Priest, Millennium Champion of Close-Up Magic
"Charlie the Chicken and I never leave home without it and we look forward to damaging the economy forever!"
- Max Somerset, TV magician and star of "Max Magic"
Comes complete with gimmick and instructional DVD.

The Torn and Restored Project is a revolutionary collection of Torn and Restored card effects.
It is a two-DVD set comprising "Fire in the Hole" and "Four".
For those of you who have known this for years, your wait is finally over! For those of you who do not know, here's what it is all about:
The torn and restored plot has fascinated magicians for years, with countless methods and handlings with varying degrees of visual power, difficulty and practicality. One of the highest requested effects I have during shows are to rip a card up and to put it back together. But here's a fact: Most Torn and Restored card effects look exactly the same. Merely repeating what another magician once did will not create a unique, memorable experience for your audience. So how are you going to make your routine stand out from the rest?
Welcome to The T&R Project, a mind-blowing collection of 5 revolutionary torn and restored effects. There has never been anything that even comes close to looking like what is presented inside the box you now hold.
All the effects have MULTI-ANGLED studio performances and tutorials and explain everything in painstaking detail.
All routines leave the spectator-signed card examinable after the effect, and the cards can be given out as souvenirs.
These routines are direct, trenchant and sensational.
There is something for everybody here, and every effect is as powerful as the other in different situations.

An empty and crushed can of soda magically restores and refills before the eyes of the spectators.
Impossible to improve? Here's the 2.0 version of Anders Modens ingenious Healed and Sealed Soda, the effect originally performed by David Blaine on "Vertigo".
Anders Moden shares his thoughts on the methods, the handlings and the presentations of his masterpiece. He will also guide you through various additional techniques that he has kept to himself. Until now.
Let's re-cap the effect:
Pour the last drops out of an empty a soda can.
Crush it – in front of the spectators - and show it around.
Command the can to heal itself – the spectator will see and hear this happen.
Wave your hand over the opening and the hole will seal itself!
Now the can to magically fills up.
Open the can with a pfzzt!
Pour the soda in a glass.
Hand everything out to the audience.
Anders Modén will take you through every step of the trick in detail. He will also show you:
a clever "hands-off" method that actually works.
a special close-up method.
an ingenious transposition effect where the drink visibly and instantly moves from a full coke can to an empty orange can!

Several presentation ideas
Variations in set-up and handling

Alakazam are proud to release the debut material by one of the best underground card magicians in the world: Benjamin Earl. For years, Ben has been one of Europe's top professional performers and innovative creators. Like many of these quiet achievers, he has previously avoided magicians, conventions and all attempts to get him to share his original material. Until now...
We can't tell you how we managed it, but you'll be very pleased that we did! This new DVD set comprises three volumes of startling, original material that will surely find its way into the repertoires of hobbyists and professionals alike.
Disc One features Ben's imaginative handlings for several of card magic's classic plots. Do we need new versions of Collectors, Hofzinser's Aces and Triumph? We do when they are this eye-popping! As well as these fantastic new approaches to traditional plots, this disc also contains many original flourishes and sleights as well as all the work on Ben's 'Stroke Change', which looks like trick-photography even when you know how it's done. Best of all, this incredible change, like almost all the material on this disc, is easily within the reach of any intermediate card handler.
Disc Two focuses on gambling and card table material. As a true student of the art, Ben has been refining and advancing card table artifice for many years. The finessed handlings and methodological advances that he demonstrates and teaches on this disc comprise some of the most important contributions to this branch of card magic by a new voice for many years. Fans of 'the real work' will be delighted by Ben's decision to share these prized techniques.
Disc Three contains a wealth of Ben's mental card magic, a style which he prefers to perform these days. There are several fantastic and totally practical handlings for Think-A-Card as well as versions of Mental Poker and Brainwave that break entirely new ground. Impossible Locations and Thought Card To Pocket handlings which fool absolutely everyone ensure that the only problem you'll have with Ben's material is which tricks to leave out of your performance!
One thing is for sure, whatever your interest in card magic, once you've watched these discs, you will never look at a deck the same way again...
Peel away the surface of reality with a killer piece of weird like no other.
You start by taking out a deck of cards from the box and as you are shuffling them you say that you are going to do something that is really strange, but more importantly, that you will do it very slowly. You have someone select a card, they sign it and it gets lost back into the deck.
The deck is given to your spectator to shuffle, as you state that the card is going to vanish from the deck and appear inside the card box which is shown empty and placed on the table or given to another spectator to hold.
You have the person with the cards hold onto them real tight and before they know it – boom – it’s gone! The spectator checks through the deck and the signed card has completely vanished!
You point to the card case the other spectator is holding – it’s empty. But…you point out the back of the card case looks the same as the back of a card. Now for the freakiest thing ever, slowly you start peeling the printed back design from the box! It leaves behind a white surface and you turn over the surface that you have torn away – all attention is focused on this strange object that IS the SIGNED selected card!
“Even Nostradamus couldn’t foresee Phuzion’s stunning climax… I asked him.” Tyler Wilson
“Watching Andrew Scott perform Phuzion for the first time was equivalent to getting slapped in the face with a frying pan. Andrew fried a room full of laymen & magicians with this effect; it is a PERFECT finale to the "card to impossible location" plot. I love it!” Wayne Houchin
Includes Gimmicks and Instructional DVD which outlines Peter Nardi’s & Jack Allibone’s commercial handling for the 4 phase card under box routine utilising Phuzion as the killer ending !

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!

You show a blank card, while spreading out the deck to display the rest of the cards as being regular. They all have faces except the original blank card. The spectator has a completely free choice to pick and sign a card of their choosing. They then are allowed to examine both the blank card AND the empty card box. The magician then shuffles the deck and clearly puts the signed, chosen card back in the middle before shuffling some more. Then the blank card is placed in the middle of the deck, protruding for half it's length. The deck is then placed in the card box to further rule out any tampering from the magician, while the blank card is still plainly in view. Now comes the magic...The magician acts like he is going to push the card all the way into the deck, but about halfway through, he turns it around to show you that the blank card has changed to the chosen card in the blink of an eye!
You spread out the deck and show that all the cards are different and that there are no duplicates. You have the spectator slide out ANY card that they want while you turn your back. The choice is completely free. The selected card is placed in the spectator's pocket without looking, so that no one can know what the card is. You then write down his prediction about what you think the card is, and of course, it matches every time! Keep in mind that the spectator chooses a card from the middle of the deck, with your back turned, and you still guess the card every time!
