Contents Scatter Shot A multi-phased Ace production specifically designed for an opener. The Aces literally seem to come from everywhere, right up to the mind- blowing finish. Favouritism A spectator nominates their lucky Jack to find two selected cards, but discovers it can do much better than that! A great ‘kick back’ style routine. Psychic Blackjack Lay out four blackjack hands, and then loan the spectator a poker chip in order to make a bet on your behalf. They have a completely free choice, but they always pick the hand that’s best for you… Hard to Read A demonstration that appears to be all about watching for a spectators ‘tell’ and reading their poker face to reveal their selection, but is really about winning, by any means necessary! X-Static A very efficient sandwich routine that boils down to literally one move that does everything – great card magic has never been lazier! The Big Squeeze A simple and off-beat variation of the Hofsinzer Lost Ace Problem, where the Aces reveal the suit and value of a selection, before being squeezed together to produce the card! Equidistant Transpo A streamlined take on a notoriously difficult plot that sees two packets of cards transposing, despite being buried in different sections of the deck.

  • The Magic Roadshow #163 February 2015 © Rick Carruth
    The Magic Roadshow #163 February 2015 © Rick Carruth Wow. Is it February already? I swear I just published the January issue... In addition, the Boston area has received over 40 inches of snow this month, making life very difficult. OK, so I live in South Carolina... give me a break. I'm so glad to have you here. It's the middle of winter, cold as Hello, and so very dreary outside. I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than perusing through the pages and resources of the one hundred and sixty third issue of the Magic Roadshow Journal of Magic. If you're new to the Roadshow, then you now understand what a gazillion readers before you have politely tolerated to get to the good stuff. Aside from a barrage of magic related shows on TV, there is little of interest to report to you guys. That's probably a good thing, since the solitude of winter gives me a chance to think. Whatever ideas I concoct inevitably help start the year in the right direction. So, like most folks who make 'resolutions', I have good intentions and high hopes for at least January, February, and probably parts of March.... After a decade of publishing the Magic Roadshow I honestly feel it needs to grow and improve.. or get out of the way. In order to improve I need your help. We will be entering our eleventh year shortly, and eleven is my number.. so we'll see what the cards hold.. I have some great stuff from Paul Lelekis, Michael Lyth, Eliyahu Wincelberg, Werner Miller, and a special gift from Frank Moraes.

  • Ultimate David Blaine Magic Tricks Revealed
    Black Diamond Ultimate David Blaine Magic Tricks Revealed Thank you for your purchase from Please feel free to … Take a look at our ebay auctions: ebay ID: www-netgeneration-co-uk Visit our website – www.netgeneration.co.uk Or send us an email - [email protected] 2 The purpose of this text is not to abruptly reveal David’s tricks; any good magic fan will certainly be able to understand most techniques used by the performer. It is mainly to remind people that David Blaine is not some kind of new super hero but simply a good (and yes, a very good) entertainer working to perform good magic tricks and only tricks, but he sometimes (often?) forgets to say it. Needless to say that he is working with a team and has counsellors that counts amongst the best illusionists, mentalists & cardicians in the world. Most of the tricks revealed can be found in magic shops or in the many magic books sold throughout the world. “I love this kid; I taught him everything he knows!” Tarko The Great THE BALDUCCI LEVITATION Preface According to Mike Close in his 1974 issue of the Pallbearer's Review "Marketplace" column in the June 1997 (Volume 9, Number 9, page 755.)

  • Possibly the 10 Best Card Tricks … Ever I’M Often Asked What I Consider to Be the Ten Strongest and Most Artistic Card Tricks
    Roberto Giobbi Possibly the 10 Best Card Tricks … Ever I’m often asked what I consider to be the ten strongest and most artistic card tricks. I’m also often asked which ones I perform regularly, for what reason, and in which variant. Umberto Eco in an interview stated that he considered lists to be a literary genre and actually gave a lengthy lecture on the subject of literary lists - this lecture has been published in his book Confessions of a Young Novelist . As a further proof of my humility I herewith publish my list of what I consider the ten best card tricks ever invented (in alphabetical order) plus some comments on each. 1. Ambitious Card Everybody who has performed even a rudimentary version knows what a great impact it has on any lay audience. The subtext of a card freeing itself from the restraints of the mass (the pack) and rising to the top, thus liberating itself and finding its place at the top of the crowd is strong and its symbolic meaning universally appealing. Having the card signed at some point is a must in my opinion, as this is were the audience relates to the card and is emotionally hooked. For study purposes I recommend Dai Vernon’s routine in Stars of Magic, which is just magnificent: even if you never perform it, you’ll learn a lot of polyvalent techniques and concepts, which you’ll be able to apply in other works of yours. I’ve performed many variations of this routine, and you can find one of the most elegant in Card College 2 in the chapter on the Double Lift, Part 2.
