Attack of the Bag by Craig Petty - DVD Attack of the Bag by Craig Petty - DVD

The coin bag has been around for years, chances are you have one lurking at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Craig first saw the coin bag about 13 years ago and having brought it he played with it for a little, then promptly forgot about it.

Fast forward several years to when Craig was booked to work at a trade show for a company that sells magic tricks to joke shops. They wanted Craig to show their customers how to demo the simple tricks they had for sale to their customers. Because of this Craig tried to develop exciting presentations for hundreds of cheap tricks. The prop that attracted Craig the most was a coin bag - after playing with it all week at the show he had developed a number of moves that made several new effects possible.

Craig has been using the coin bag now for over 6 years and it is something he uses in real world conditions all the time. Over the years he has developed over 100 effects with the coin bag and on this DVD he presents 9 of his very best routines.

EFFECTS

Chop Bag

Piggy Bank

Coins In Cartoon Motion

Strange Exchange

New Comedy Routines For Magic DVD- Greg Otto  New Comedy Routines For Magic DVD- Greg Otto
Greg is a full time pro whose performances have taken him to over 60 countries on five continents. George Carlin said about Greg, “This guy's f****ng funny!” Some testimony. In a moment of weakness Martin Lewis convinced him to share his “Comedy & Magic” act with us. All of it - not just the effects - all of the gags, jokes, and bits of business that make those effects memorable.

This is Greg Otto's “packs very small, plays big can be done under virtually any conditions” act. An act that can be done for practically any size audience. The Torn & Restored Bill is his very funny, rapid fire, opening routine, which ends in a couple of great sight gags, that can be used in other money tricks too. His method for Card To Fly is amazing in its simplicity. The effect on an audience is unbelievably strong. Like the bill trick, there are gags in this routine that can be applied to almost any other card effects.

Greg likes to end a trick with a laugh and his Cut And Restored Rope routine does just that. You will mine a plethora of adaptable material in this easy to do triple restoration. Also on the disk are his performances and explanations for the Himber Ring, M.O.A.B, Balloon Animals (sort of) and more. The DVD concludes with Greg's no gaff Add A Number.

After the performance Greg sits down and discusses his methods and the thoughts behind them - with nothing held back! Believe Leonardo da Vinci who said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!” Greg's material has that in spades! He will teach you his super easy methods, strong effects, and hilarious presentations, which are the keys for creating an unforgettable entertainment experience for your audience.

You probably know how to do the tricks, now learn to present them in a memorable way.

DAVID FORREST'S 'COLOUR BURN' - THE SLOW MOTION COLOUR CHANGING DECK! DAVID FORREST'S 'COLOUR BURN' - THE SLOW MOTION COLOUR CHANGING DECK!

THE 'COLOUR BURN' EFFECT

A blue backed deck is removed from its case. The deck is spread and your spectators are asked to call out the names of some cards that they see. You then take the named cards and, one by one, begin to magically change their back colour from blue to red! Offering a better look at the technique you announce that you will change the back of another card...

...IN SLOW MOTION!

With a gentle wave of your hand, the card begins to visibly change. The card actually appears to change as you move your hand back and forth over it! You pause halfway - the card under your hand is half blue and half red! Slowly, you complete the colour change, visually changing the remainder of the blue card to red. The card is now fairly shown on both sides - it has completely changed to red!. But, you're not done...

With a snap of your fingers the entire deck instantly changes to red before their already disbelieving eyes. They pick their jaws up - you move onto your next miracle!

DAVID FORREST'S 'COLOUR BURN'

Colour Burn is a colour changing deck routine unlike any other. The effect plays exactly as described above and includes a stunning 'slow visual' moment where the back colour of a card is seen to change visually as you wave your hand over it. This amazing visual transformation is accomplished via a devilish gimmick, the details of which are fully explained in the DVD and the special cards you need to achieve 'Colour Burn' are included inside the box!

The gimmick has a multitude of uses. You can CHANGE ONE CARD INTO ANOTHER or even PRINT THE FACE OF A CARD! Once you understand the gimmick a world of opportunity will reveal itself but, as a special bonus, a second effect is included on the DVD:

BONUS EFFECT: 'PRINT RUN'

A spectator is invited to select a card which is then lost back into the deck. You remove a card from your pocket which you allow your spectators to examine thoroughly - it is completely blank on both sides. You take back the card and ask your spectator to concentrate on their selection. Slowly and visually you begin to print the face of the blank card to match the selected card. Piece by piece, the image of the selection materialises on the previously examined blank card as you rub your fingers over it! You then display the back of the card - the back has printed too - the card can then be handed out for examination.

WITH COLOUR BURN THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Chinese Bit by Eddie Gibson - $½ & £2 versions Chinese Bit by Eddie Gibson - $½ & £2 versions
Now available in 2 versions - the hard to obtain half dollar version is back in stock as well as the new £2 version.

This effect is a classic of coin magic and when you see it you will know why!

Three previously examined coins are used: a Two Pound Coin, an old-type English Penny and a Chinese coin. The Penny and Chinese coin are placed in the right hand and the Two Pound Coin in the left. Without any suspicious moves the coins are shown to have transposed, the Two Pound Coin appearing in the right hand and the Penny and Chinese coin in the left.

The Penny is then placed in the pocket, but it instantly returns to the hand, while the Two Pound Coin vanishes from the hand and appears in the pocket. The Chinese coin is placed in the pocket, the Penny in the left hand and the Two Pound Coin in the right. Seconds later the Two Pound Coin is seen resting in the left hand while the Penny is in the right hand.

This is repeated once again but this time the Chinese coin appears next to the Penny in the right hand. The Two Pound Coin is then placed in the right hand and the Penny and Chinese coin in the left. Both hands are closed and instantly opened to reveal the Two Pound Coin in the left hand and the Penny and Chinese coin in the right.

This is repeated twice more and then the coins are handed out once again to be examined.

Easy to do

No sleight of hand

Instant reset

High visual impact

This effect comes complete with all coins and very special precision engineered gimmick (just add your own £2 coin)

T°3 T°3
Brand new from the creator of Equinox, The Real Ghost and the Pro Thumper!

Christopher Taylor presents the ultimate long range electronic mindreading device! T°3 is a set of three small transmitters (1 3/8" x 3/4" x 5/16") which can be concealed in objects such as a lighter, pack of gum, key fob, deck of cards, etc. The transmitters are movement activated. That means, when one of the objects is handled, the transmitter hidden in it will signal which of the objects is in play.

You will know which one of two, three or four items are in play: which door is opened; which jewellery box is opened; which paper bag is picked up; which deck a card is removed from; which cup is a participant is drinking from; which spice is being tasted; which book has been opened; the possibilities are endless!

Here are some examples of just a few of the effects which this sophisticated electronic device will permit you to perform solo from across the room:

° PK-Taste: Imagine four flavours of breath candies, four cups of different beverages, or shakers of salt, sugar, cinnamon and cocoa. You can instantly tell which taste the participant is experiencing.

° Remote Viewing: While the performer’s back is turned, the participant places three ordinary objects, such as a pack of candies, a lighter and a key fob, in a line of any order. The performer can instantly reveal the order with no fishing. The effect can be repeated as often as you like.

° "Which Pocket?" A participant picks up three ordinary items off the table and places each one into a different pocket (or three participants pick up one object each). The performer instantly reveals where each item is. The performer can then show he predicted where each item would go.

° "Which hand is the object in?" From across the room!

° "Truth Teller/Liar" No questions need be asked!

Points to remember:

° Small transmitters are concealable in any suitable object of your choice

° Reception range of over 30 feet

° No special table or mat to transport

° A sophisticated RF device, NOT a miniature metal detector or short range chip reader

° The performer works alone

° No need to ever come close to your participants

° The effects possible with this device are limited only by your imagination.

° Complete with special transmitters, receiver, and plug-in vibrator.

T°3 comes complete with printed booklet of routines and ideas and in its own special instrument case.

The Power Of Enlightenment - Ben Harris The Power Of Enlightenment - Ben Harris

“The Power Of Enlightenment” is not “the talent for acquiring wisdom”—as one might assume. Rather, it is the rarely seen ability to make any given object incrementally lighter—sometimes to the point of defying gravity—to “enlighten”.

Here’s the key effect: A spectator shuffles the deck and nominates any of the cards as her favorite card. This card is removed, examined and placed face up onto the top of the shuffled deck. The spectator HOLDS THE DECK IN HER OUTSTRETCHED HAND. On the performer’s command, the selected card slowly breaks free from the vice-like grip of gravity—rises into the air—floats for as long as the performer wants, and then slowly descends. So freaked-out is the spectator that she breaks with protocol and reaches for the selected card—turning it over—looking for some secret. NOTHING IS FOUND! It simply looks amazing. Spooky. Hauntingly beautiful.

Amazing magnetic control feels like “real magic!”

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Spectator handles the cards throughout.

Performable in the spectator’s hand, on the table or in your hand.

SELF-CONTAINED: nothing added or taken away.

Can be repeated with another card and without any reset.

Can be performed surrounded.

Spectator may keep card as souvenir.

“A paradigm shift in magic with magnets.” The principle is completely NEW. Ben Harris has spent 25 years developing the concept and making it practical. The final result, we predict, will revolutionize how magnets are used in our art. Just imagine: thread-free levitation effects with any flat, small objects—

DOLLAR BILLS (any currency)

PHOTOGRAPHS

DRIVER’S LICENSES, etc

You are supplied with:

A precisely balanced (factory-made) gimmick in plastic and alloy,

12 month warranty,

Quick Start Manual (in English, French, Japanese and Spanish.

100 page book, Enlightenment: The Ultimate Floating Card.

Bonus: Floating Bill On Spectator’s Knee. Note: This effect requires a typical PK-Style Magnet for operation.

THOUGHT CAPTURE THOUGHT CAPTURE
Alakazam are extremely proud to present Paul Mortemore’s incredible Thought Capture!

A revolution in modern mentalism!

What is Thought Capture?

Thought Capture could be one of the best modern day prediction devices ever created for the mentalist. Imagine taking a picture on your mobile phone, of your spectator holding a piece of paper as you explain that this piece of paper has a prediction written on it and it is very important that they do not see it so as not to influence their choice.

The phone can now be placed in your spectator’s pocket and you need not ever handle or go near it again for the rest of the routine. Depending on your style and the routine you choose to perform with Thought Capture, your spectator can now think of ANY playing card, ANY four or five digit number, ANY four – six letter word, ANY one of the five E.S.P. symbols, their star sign and so on.

Your spectator can now remove the phone from their pocket and take a look at the photograph on it to find that written across the paper is the exact item or word they just freely named! What’s more – you can now Bluetooth this image to the spectator’s own phone to give them a unique and impossible souvenir. This will be something they show to everyone and talk about for years to come!

Thought Capture comes complete and ready to go along with a detailed instruction manual full of routines, handling tips and everything you need to know, to get you started with this professional piece. Routines included can be adapted to either a one or two person operation to suit both your style and performance venue/situation.

Please be aware of the following points when purchasing Thought Capture:

You can place your own SIM card in the phone you use to take the picture as it is a real, unblocked mobile phone.

The software is specifically written for the phone model Sony Ericsson k510i and is coded so it will only work on the equipment you receive and is non-transferrable.

Thought Capture is currently in very limited supply as for that reason is only available through Alakazam UK and nowhere else.

Order your Though Capture today and become part of this revolution in modern mentalism.

ESP Mind Set by James Biss ESP Mind Set by James Biss
Effect

Featuring two exclusive presentations:

"Zenerbocker"

Five audience members are choosen and asked to choose any numbered seat that they feel drawn towards. The magician hands out five envelopes to be shuffled by a participant and then are handed out. The envelopes are opened and remembered. The cards are passed down and then reshuffled before being handed back to the magician. An audience member is chosen to associate one of the cards with a seated participant and the seated participant is given the card. With each psyhic connection, the magician hands out the rest of the cards one by one to the seated participants. The cards are then revealed by the seated members as the cards that they remembered previously. Remarkable! But that's not all, the magician asks the participants to look into the numbered envelope on their seats that they felt drawn towards. The cards in the envelope matches the cards in the participants' hands. Incredible!

Bonus Effect

Cardiac by Andrew Gerard Cardiac by Andrew Gerard
Effect

Invite a spectator to take your pulse. To ensure there is nothing restricting your pulse, allow them to check under your arms and examine your arms completely. They will agree there are no devices on you.

Ask them to find your pulse. When they have it, ask them to snap their fingers along with it... They will keep track of your pulse rate. Tell them no matter what happens to you, make sure they report ANY changes in your pulse rate.

You close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply and slowly... ask them if your pulse is getting stronger. They will agree it's beating harder. Then close your eyes and ask them if they feel the rate changing... they will say it's getting slower... and slower... and eventually only 1 beat every few seconds, and then it speeds back up to normal and goes faster and faster. Then the performer turns his attention inward and has a self-induced attack! This is "cardiac arrest"! The performer takes a deep breath and holds it and his pulse stops... after a few seconds it eases back to normal.

Comes complete with 7 page booklet of detailed instructions and routine.

52 Memories by Jack Parker Book 52 Memories by Jack Parker Book

All have been completely re-written, most with new ideas and finesses explained for the first time and some even with completely different handlings. This is Jack Parker's magic as Jack wished it to be remembered and the end result is a legacy that promises to inspire every student of magic.

Magician's Ltd Cookbook By Jack Parker & Andi Gladwin Magician's Ltd Cookbook By Jack Parker & Andi Gladwin
What's cooking? How about some great magic created by a collection of the world's best known card magicians? Jack Parker has called upon some of his favourite magicians to prepare some excellent card tricks and Andi Gladwin has elegantly served up each one in this fantastic hard backed book. There's something to tantalise every taste bud in this wide ranging menu, from exquisite starters to really meaty tricks to sink your teeth into.

The Magician's Ltd Cookbook allows you to take a peak into the repertoires of some of the world's best card magicians. Stars such as David Acer, Allan Ackerman, Steve Draun, Dave Solomon have all contributed fantastic tricks that range from incredibly easy to knuckle busting sleight of hand - you'll definitely find plenty of great material for your repertoire.

The story behind this book is inspiring. In 1989 Jack Parker was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. After a year of treatment he was achieved a full remission from the illness and decided that he'd like to give back to give back to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust; a charity that helped him when he was most in need. He collected magic from 23 of the world's top card magicians and along with Andi Gladwin started to compile a book of that fantastic magic.

Given how much they helped Jack, proceeds from this book will be donated to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust to help assist their ongoing Leukaemia research and everyone involved in the Magician's Ltd Cookbook has given their time generously and for free.

Wonderful magic. A superb cause. So get cooking!
