Oil & Water Remixed by David Solomon and Jordan Cotler

Wizard HQ Product Search       Oil & Water Remixed by David Solomon and Jordan Cotler get it here Oil & Water is one of magic's most enduring plots. It's an extremely visual trick. Audiences love it. Now you can learn the ultimate version of this classic card effect - David Solomon's Technicolor Oil & Water. Two packets of cards are shown: four reds with red backs and four blacks with blue backs. The cards are mixed - cleanly, clearly, and unquestionably. Yet with a wave of the magician's hand, the colors separate - red from black and red from blue! This magical restructuring happens three times, each demonstration being more clear, magical and mystifying than the last. Technicolor Oil & Water is a visual extravaganza, an eye-popping close-up illusion that's sure to leave your audience breathless. Best of all, there's no sleight-of-hand required to perform the effect. On this DVD, Solomon teaches every nuance of Technicolor Oil & Water, as well as two other versions of the plot (Small Color Collision and Simplex Oil & Water), both within the reach of nearly every card magician. Learn versions that require gaffs, and those that don't. As a bonus, inventive up-and-coming magician Jordan Cotler teaches his own version of the trick, called Oil Slick. Included are special cards, printed by the US Playing Card Company, as well as printable PDF instructions for each effect on the DVD. see more new items...

120% Chestosteron by Chester Sass

Wizard HQ Product Search       120% Chestosteron by Chester Sass get it here Germany's premier up-and-coming Mentalist Chester Sass has done it at last. Critically acclaimed TV-Street Mentalist Chester Sass has put pen to paper to share the secrets of some of his award-winning routines with you! Following its initial publication in Germany, this mentalism bestseller is now available for the first time in English. In his book, Chester teaches impromptu effects that will knock your audience off their feet! These effects were developed THROUGH performance FOR performance. Several of these effects have even been performed for millions of viewers and have NEVER failed to amaze! If you're looking for effects that get a MAXIMUM reaction with MINIMUM preparation, this is the book for you! Here's what you'll get: Zodiac: These days, to be a top mentalist, you need to have a solid zodiac routine in your repertoi! re. Haven't you always dreamed of going up to people, asking them to think of their zodiac sign and then divining it before their eyes' Welcome to Chester Sass' ZODIAC... Hello.........is it me you're looking for': Imagine asking a perfect stranger to think of someone they haven't spoken to recently. You take the spectator's cell phone and they watch as you dial an unknown number. Then the unthinkable happens: the person who answers the call is the person the spectator was thinking of! Music was my first love: How is it possible for you to immediately start singing, beat boxing or naming the song a spectator has selected from a card containing several world-famous artists and their hits, without having to ask any questions'' The CSI-Book Test: Haven't you always wanted to pull off a flawless book test at a party where the spectator has an absolutely free choice of the book, page an! d word' In this effect, you ask your spectator to choose ANY of his own books, simply THINK of ANY page number and then open the book to that page and memorize ANY word from it. Then you not only divine the correct page number, but also the word being thought of! What's more, the spectator doesn't have to write anything down, and holds the book in his hand himself. Not bad! Ches-Te(a)r: Still looking for the perfect CENTER-TEAR' What about the best way to justify the writing, the tear and the peek' Your search is over, with the new CHES-TEAR! Equivoque: When done correctly, Equivoque produces a miraculous effect. So why are there so many bad examples of it' Chester sums up his thoughts on this subject in the hopes that you will be more satisfied with your next Equivoque routine. One-Ahead Principle: Properly performed, the One-Ahead Principle can produce a very powerful effect. Chester Sass! has further refined this technique ridding it of the slightest bit of doubt. In a light-hearted and down-to-earth style, Chester Sass details cutting-edge mental routines intended for professional performance. On the whole, these routines are easy-to-learn and very well conceived and will amaze spectators every time. All of the mentalism routines in this book have been tested out in the open. They were designed for the 'real world' and don't require any unusual props or special circumstances to be performed. Everything is described at length with both words and pictures. Detailed photos leave no question unanswered. As an added bonus, the purchase of this book includes access to a specially developed program that will help you practice and memorize the Zodiac routine in as little time as possible. WELCOME TO THE ZODIAC BOOTCAMP! What's more, you also receive a gimmick worth $30 on its own. What other mentalists ! are saying about 120% Chestosterone: Nicolai Friedrich (FISM Winner 2009-Mentalism) 'Finally a well-thought-out and absolutely impromptu Zodiac routine that doesn't use any gimmicks! Any mentalist who wants to be 100% ready-for-show all the time should have this system in the back of their mind. I highly recommend it!' Docc Hilford Author, Creator and Professional Mind Reader: 'I love it! Chester has released a collection of his personal routines, that I find to be some of the most practical pieces of commercial mentalism available. After thirty years of performing, I have learned that some creations are good for reading, while others are good for performing. Chester's contributions fall into both categories! I regularly use at least two of the bits in his book and have been inspired by others. More than one method could have been sold separately for quite a few coins, and the buyer would have been more t! han satisfied; yet Chester has graciously made everything available in a single tome. If you enjoy clever mentalism, but more, if you want to actually perform clever mentalism, then this is a book you should really have.' Lee Earle Author, Creator and Professional Mind Reader: 'Absolutely brilliant. If the retail price was proportionate to the clever combination of concepts, your buyers couldn't afford it.' Nathan Kranzo Author, Creator and Professional Magician: 'I love your song reveal!' Paul Brook, Professional Mind Reader 'After reading through the wonderfully titled '120% Chestosterone' I decided that, in point of fact, I quite liked some of the ideas. I think all of the material is workable, which is something that I can rarely say these days. 'Music Was My First Love' and 'The CSI Book Test' were both outstanding effects that got my little brainbox pumping. As for the book itsel! f,  the writing style is fun and funny and a pleasure to read. Great work Chester!' 'Zodiac is one of the best ways that I've seen of doing this effect. It's completely prop-less and very clean. As a bonus Chester has a fantastic way for you to practice the method BEFORE you try it out in public. This routine alone is worth the price of the book, but there is so much more. The Cell Phone Effect is a really direct piece of mentalism that you can perform almost anywhere. The CSI Book Test is my favourite, Chester has taken an age old mentalism technique and given it a new lease of life by adding some beautiful subtleties.' - Marc Paul Pages: 80 - Softbound see more new items...

Magic Magazine June 2010

Wizard HQ Product Search       Magic Magazine June 2010 get it here COVER: Mark & Jinger - In a Tent! (by Mark Kalin) "We want you to come to Puerto Rico for a variety show - in a tent!" You mean a circus? "No, this is a variety show - in a tent." When Kalin & Jinger journeyed to Puerto Rico for their "not a circus" experience, Mark thought it might be unusual enough to warrant keeping a diary. He was right. The result is a hilarious ten-page recollection of their once-in-a-lifetime experience working "a variety show - in a tent!" World Champion Close-Up Magician (by Rory Johnston) In July of 2009, Shawn headed to Beijing for his third FISM and one more shot at the top prize. "Everybody was saying, 'Quit! You've already proven yourself. You got second, second's a great prize, anybody else would be happy!' But not me." He presented a double signed-card-in-sealed-deck routine and his Shape of My Heart with a shuffled deck. He received a sta! nding ovation - and the world championship in cards. "It took three trips to win IBM, three trips to win the PCAM's Grand Prix, and three attempts to win FISM," Shawn says. "Well, you know what they say, third time's the charm." 4FXL (by Hank Moorehouse) Fechter's Finger Flicking Frolic, the invitation-only convention dedicated to close-up magic, premiered in April 1971 at the Forks Hotel in Buffalo, New York. Magician Eddie Fechter had purchased the venue twelve years earlier, and he worked there behind the bar until his death in 1979. When the idea came up of having a gathering strictly focusing on close-up, Fechter worked with magicians Bill Okal and Ronald "Obie" O'Brien to make it a reality. Now, forty years later, Fechter has passed away and Okal has moved on to other pursuits. The convention is no longer held at the Forks; these days, it can be found at the end of each April at the Holiday Inn in Batavia, between Buffalo and Rochester, New York. O! 'Brien remains the driving force behind the FFFF, where he was named Guest of Honor this year in recognition of his four decades of finger-flicking festivities. Waking Up (by Jamie D. Grant) Let's be honest for a minute. When someone tells us to check out a video on YouTube, I think we can all admit that we have mixed feelings about it. Mixed feelings of sheer terror and perverse joy. Sheer terror because we know that it's going to be terrible, and perverse joy because, well, we know that it's going to be terrible. Thanks to the Internet, we're not at a loss for material to make us feel slightly better about ourselves. But there's also a feeling of sadness that perhaps all the good stuff has already been seen and maybe there's nothing more to come. So how was it that my jaw hit the floor upon the viewing of someone doing a card trick? Not even a card trick really, but a false shuffle? How could this have been not only good but downright inspirational? Bec! ause the magician did this without the aid of something we all take for granted: hands. Magic Grads A new generation of seniors will graduate from high school this month, some with dreams of becoming magicians. As we wish them all luck in their future endeavors, we once again take a look back at a few high school conjurors who have gone on to enjoy a lifetime in magic - including appearing on the cover of MAGIC Magazine. See if you can recognize any of these faces, then turn the page to learn who grew up to be who. UPDATE Matt Marcy: Disillusioned, Again Comedy magician Matt Marcy's Disillusioned: Confessions of a Serial Magician, a semiautobiographical play, opened a five-weekend run at the Imagined Life Theater in Los Angeles on May 21. The story relates the magician's personal struggles to find respect "in an art form that doesn't get any." Rather than demonstrating trick after trick in a cabaret format or prese! nting a historical lecture between effects, Marcy's show takes the audience along with him as he explores the joy he first experienced discovering magic, the frustration he felt when it failed him, and his coming to terms with it when he realized the extent it shaped his emotional and intellectual character. Photo: Tiffany Johnson Much Ado by Nothin' Marshall "It's Easy Once You Know the Secret" Brodien was feted on April 10 at the annual Nothin' Up My Sleeve show in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Performers onstage included emcee Ken Mate, Nino Cruz & Glenn Chelius, Marshall Brodien Jr., juggler Andy Head, ventriloquist Dale Brown, illusionist John Measner, and man of the hour Marshall Brodien himself, performing the famous Blade Box with his wife, Mary Doyle Brodien. The evening was a benefit fundraiser for the Raue Center for the Arts Theatre, where the show was held. Photo: H Rick Bamman Plus...

Brett Bishop, one of magic's rising creative stars, offers an offbeat routine using a "Kick Me!" sign that appears on your back, and then on the back of your spectator. Iain Moran and Greg Chapman offer elegant card effects without difficult sleight of hand, and our issue closes with Alex Rangel's terrific impossible location routine. Real-World Methods (by Marcus Wielage and George Robinson) Kid Shows - A Source of Experience and Profit - In the September 10, 1971 issue of Magick, Marcus Wielage, a high school student in Tampa, Florida, shared some of the lessons he had learned working kid shows. Thirty-nine years later, George Robinson has expanded and updated the essay to make it timely for kid-show performers today. The Show Doctor (by Jeff McBride) Child Abuse and Overuse - DEAR SHOW DOCTOR: I'm sick of doing kid shows and feeling disrespected and abused by the little brats. In fact, I really hate doing those shows, but that's all I seem to be able to get in my area. It's very frustrating. Even when I do show adults a magic trick at a party, the first thing they say is "Oh, you're a magician; my kids would love this!" How can we magicians help magic gain the respect it deserves? Do you have any advice on how to break away from doing kid shows and start moving up the ladder of success? - Theo J. Classic Correspondence (by Mike Caveney) Doc Mahendra to Al Monroe - Though neither of these men is widely known today, both were extremely knowledgeable and great supporters of magic and magicians. Doc Mahendra is generally thought of as a Texan - the San Antonio IBM Ring is named after him - but the truth be known, Doc was born Frank Sterling in 1885 in California. He was a fine magician, but made his ! living as a mentalist and hypnotist. His wife, Ann, was at least as amazing as her husband, in part for her skill in presenting Lulu Hurst's Georgia Magnet routine. The petite Ann would plant her feet and then challenge any man to lift her. All comers would fail and walk away scratching their head at her sudden immovability. Many years ago while performing in Texas, I met Ann Mahendra, who was at least twice my age. She challenged me to lift her off the ground, and when I failed miserably, she suddenly turned the tables on me, locked her arms around my waist and hoisted me off the ground! Directions (by Joanie Spina) It's absolutely true: in watching other performers, we can see ourselves. We sometimes make the same mistakes or the same brilliant choices, but don't recognize them until we observe them in someone else. Through this series of articles, enhanced by the accompanying videos you can find at www.MAGICmagazine.com, you can learn from watching oth! er performers as I gently point out ways that their material can be improved, as well as the aspects of their acts that are working well. Although they refer directly to the video in question, these points also carry over as general principles of performing. There are many right ways of doing things, and these are a few options. see more new items... Join Our Mailing List   Email:      You'll receive one weekly email with the latest magic releases.

Magic and Mentalism of Barrie Richardson Vol. 2

Wizard HQ Product Search       Magic and Mentalism of Barrie Richardson Vol. 2 get it here VOLUME TWO - THE MAGIC OF YOUR MIND Choices Have Consequences - A Bank Night effect with meaning, three envelopes are presented to two spectators yet the performer is left with the big prize. Nevertheless, the performer is also forced to learn that choices do, indeed, have consequences. No gimmicks, no forces - just a fun routine that can be performed anywhere. Second Spot - Barrie's version of Fogel's classic psychometry routine is performed in the context of the amazing story of the Uruguayan athletes who survived a plane crash in the Andes Mountains. The owners of five borrowed objects are successfully divined with plenty of laughter, fun, and mystery. Mesmer's Pencil - A demonstration of 'animal magnetism.' A ! pencil resting on the performer's hand rises as a female audience member draws near. She then discovers, after the performer suggests that the pencil is now very heavy, that she cannot lift it. After she changes the image in her mind, the pencil becomes light again and it is given to her as a souvenir. This routine has been used by some of the most distinguished mentalists in the world. Dollar Divination - The performer demonstrates his ability to determine six of the serial numbers from any borrowed bill with only his fingertips. He then has one spectator mentally transmit the last two digits to another with total accuracy. Versatile for close-up or stage. Angel's Flight - Even though the performer is at quite some distance, he reveals the playing cards the audience members are thinking of. Finally, the entire audience, using their collective imagination, divines the number of cards that were previously hidden away. A wonderful mystery wrapped in a true story that ! also utilizes a totally novel - and very deceptive - deck switch! Thoughts with Wings - A newspaper section is torn into small pieces by a spectator, who then selects a single piece. She is then asked to mentally select a single word from the page and with absolutely no questions asked, the performer correctly reveals the chosen word. A stunning display of what can only be actual mind reading. Running Time Approximately: 1hr 54mins see more new items...

Magic and Mentalism of Barrie Richardson Vol. 3

Wizard HQ Product Search       Magic and Mentalism of Barrie Richardson Vol. 3 get it here VOLUME THREE - MENTAL AEROBICS: MEMORY AND METAPHOR Quartet - Playing cards are fairly shuffled by a spectator and yet, when the cards are distributed to four participants, the performer reveals them with stunning speed and inerrancy. This is an extremely commercial effect that looks and feels like a genuine demonstration of extraordinary memory power. Zebras and The Magic Square - A magic square routine that serves as a metaphor for how people too readily accept an easy answer while discounting other options. The audience interaction makes this demonstration a lively and memorable experience with none of the participants likely to ever forget what not seeing a zebra means. The Human Movie Projector - The performer demonstrates an uncanny mental ability by memorizing 46 playing cards from a fairly mixed deck. The audience is helped to realize their own potential as they are able to correctly remember the order of the other six cards. The Suspended Rice Jar Metaphor - While weaving a tale of the ancient Chinese priestesses, the performer suspends a large jar of rice with just a single thin chop stick. No magnets, wires, or gimmicks - just magic! Sun and Moon Memories - A routine that utilizes concepts with far-reaching applications for mystery workers, the performer demonstrates how words, numbers, and pictures can be communicated, not by mind reading, but by using just the power of touch. The Memorized Time Magazine - A current issue of Time is torn in half and the pages distributed to members of the audience. Any page number is called out and the performer immediately is able to reveal the contents on the selected page, including detailed descriptions of the ar! ticles, in addition to intricate details such as phone and credit card numbers. No electronics are used in this dramatic demonstration of the creative powers inherent in everyone's mind. This one's a true audience pleaser!

Wizard HQ Product Search       Magic and Mentalism of Barrie Richardson Vol. 1 get it here VOLUME ONE - PLATFORM MAGIC Ovation Position - A surprising opening routine that involves the entire audience and ends with the production of a huge glass of water - and no gimmick is required! Impossible Knot Routine - A metaphor for how most of us say something is impossible when in fact it can be done, the performer ties a knot in a length of rope without letting go of the ends. For the gasp-getting finale, the knot is untied under equally impossible conditions. Airplane Cards - A Cards Across effect that generates huge audience responses as three thought-of cards travel between two spectators. No false counts, gaffed cards, or gimmicks used.
