Annemann's Practical Mental Effects Vol. 4 by Richard Osterlind
Volumes 1, 2 and 3 of Practical Mental Effects has been lauded as the perfect accompaniment to Annemann's age-old classic. On the first three volumes, Richard took effects straight out of the book and used them to completely destroy a modern audience of college students. On volumes 4, 5 and 6, Richard Osterlind and Jim Sisti return to the same school and do it again, but with many amplified versions of other Practical Mental Effects material. For most of these routines, Richard changed the workings and methods slightly (or sometimes very significantly) to make the effects more direct and streamlined. You will love his thinking! These six volumes truly offer the definitive work on the material from this classic book. There are routines for any situation whether close-up, parlor or stage and, additionally, you will learn classic principles of mentalism which you can apply to your own, original routines. If you ever wondered what this classic material would look like when presented in tod

Freaks by Paul Prater
A simple to perform routine hearkening back to the days of the sideshow that allows you to connect with one audience member. In the days of the sideshow, performers were celebrities. Some were fabulously wealthy and some were not. Regardless, they all would sell photo cards to make extra money and so people could show their friends the anatomical wonder they saw at the carnival.

Any one can pass the postcards out randomly to any member of the audience. All of the postcards are in envelopes.

Horrors! by Richard Osterlind
A Stuart Robson classic...reimagined by Richard Osterlind! One of the effects Richard and Jim chose to feature on the Practical Mental Effects DVD project was Stuart Robson's Horrors! This fine word divination effect utilizes the advantage of shock words for presentational possibilities and a tried and true method that has stood the test of time. Richard applied his usual groundbreaking thinking to update and streamline Horrors! to make it even more workable and mystifying. The presentation on the DVD completely blew away the spectator! But, now, there's more! When Richard decided to offer Horrors! to the fraternity, he once again applied his original thinking to both the props and routine. First, the cards are substantially larger than playing cards, approximately 4.5 by 6.5 inches, and made of heavy stock. They look special and yet will easily fit into your coat pocket. And, the envelope they are carried in is also quite special. Second, Richard outlined his entire system for memoriz

Cover the Spot by Ian Kendall and Alan Wong

Coney Island master of the side show Todd Robbins said, ' Ian's tutorial is the best source available for learning the working of this wonderful evil 'game'!' Peter Duffie in Magic Magazine said 'All in all, this is a DVD that provides excellent value for money, tips the 'work' on a little known game, and is definitely worth checking out.'

A Coincidence and Divination Routine by Wild-Colombini Magic
Performed by Aldo Colombini. THIS IS AN AMAZING ROUTINE IN THREE PHASES PERFORMED WITH A REGULAR DECK OF CARDS. MOREOVER, THE ROUTINE IS VERY EASY TO PERFORM. IT IS AN ACT IN ITSELF! EFFECT: 1) The deck is shuffled and divided in half. A spectator reverses a card in one half. Both halves are placed side by side face down. You turn the top card of each half over dealing them above the halves. The dealing continues. All the pairs are different. When the spectator's card is reached, the card of the same color and value turns up in the other half! 2) The spectator now riffle shuffles the halves together (read that again). You hold the deck out of sight under the table (or in a bag), then with your sensitive fingertips, are able to produce at will, red and black cards, cards of each suit, then cards of certain values! 3) The remaining 26 cards are dealt into two piles of 13 cards each. The spectator takes either pile, leaving the other to you. You openly separate the cards into two piles, t

Magic Magazine December 2012
COVER: Open Sesame?By Milt LarsenThe Magic Castle in Hollywood is an iconic landmark, known the world over as the clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts. Milt Larsen, one of the founders fifty years ago, reminisces with tales of how the venue came to be, kicking off a series of articles celebrating the Castle�s golden anniversary. In this first installment, Milt takes us from first concept up until January 2, 1963, when he found himself waiting for the last of the paint to dry and trying to figure out why his invisible pianist didn�t work. Meanwhile, designer John Shrum was out buying flowers to put in the men�s room urinals andmdash; but that�s another story!Marcel: Prince of NightmaresBy Jaq GreensponNine years ago, Marcel Kalisvaart, at the time a twenty-year-old upstart illusionist with only five years of experience, had the hubris to compete in the Stage Illusionist category at the 2003 FISM competition in his home country of Holland.
