Volume 3
A Gift for Fiction

GOOD DECISIONS - A simple, but effective poker deal routine for parlor and stage workers. This is one of Marc's favorite corporate routines. A spectator is asked to take an unusual test to get a job-a game of head-to-head poker! . The applicant makes all of the decisions in an attempt to impress the boss and despite his apparent failure, the applicant makes good on his goal in a surprising finish.

CURSE OF THE RASTA - This is Marc's stand-up handling of Fred Kaps' version of a Peter Kane classic. It's a Wild Card effect, but all of the cards are examinable at the end. A very practical, high-impact packet trick

DREAM CATCHER - A beautifully emotional presentation for the Gypsy Thread. A dream catcher is shown and the thread is ripped out of it. The thread is restored and then the dream catcher itself is restored (but that's like saying E.T. is a story about an alien coming to Earth-)

THE THING - The classic sci-fi film brought to life with a deck of cards. A wonderful adaptation of the Universal Card combined with a truly great script!

THE CONTRACT (limited explanation) - The Torn and Restored Card without a card' Here is an unusual presentation where you offer to teach a specta! tor the 'real secrets of magic,' but first they must sign a contract where they pledge not to reveal the secret to anyone else. The contract is torn up, restored piece by piece, then vanished and reproduced. Logical, compelling and magical. Although Marc uses Daniel Garcia's Torn (which is not taught), it is adaptable to any method you may already know.

THE WAY TO INNER PEACE (limited explanation) - A charming story to accompany Troy Hooser's Charming Chinese Challenge. You get the full performance of this story of one man's search for enlightenment, plus the minor variations Marc has made to Hooser's original routine.

ISABELLA'S FAN - Based on the classic Germaine/Wakeling effect, this is the story of a woman who took many lovers. Three cards are chosen to represent three of them. The cards are placed into a stemmed wine glass and every time Isabela's fan passes in front of the glass, one of the selected cards appears on the face of the deck. This is a new handling of! a classic technique that opens many new possibilities.

GAMBLER VS. DEVIL - The classic story that has been told in movies such as Crossroads and The Devil and Daniel Webster as well as in songs like The Devil Went Down To Georgia. This time, the medium is magic and Harry Lorayne's classic Magician Vs. Gambler gets some twists, turns and great characters that add up to major entertainment.

ALICE THRU THE WINDOWPANE - Marc's closer for nearly 30 years; the perfect card routine for adults and children alike. It's a magical tale in which a selected card shrinks, grows and disappears, only to become imbedded in a mirror-then the rest of the deck turns to mirrors!

Volume 2
Mentalism, Metalism and Ghostly Visitations

NEWSPAPER PREDICTION - A killer method for a classic effect. A double sheet of newspaper is torn to pieces. The pieces are eliminated by a participant from the audience in the fairest manner possible. T! hey bring their finger down onto the center of the piece they are holding and read aloud the word beneath it. An envelope which has been held by an audience member through all of this is opened and a digital recorder is removed. They turn it on and the word is revealed. So clean-and so devious!

UPC OUTDONE - The bar code gag has been used often since its creation in the 70s, and it was usually just a gag. Now there's a real payoff where an item is selected in a very free manner and finally revealed in a large, very visual, prediction. The real work on a great commercial effect for mentalists and magicians alike.

MOTHER OF A WALLET - This is the final effect that Marc uses in his multi-phase book test routine and it's a brilliant, hands-off approach that provides the definitive culmination for any book test. A book is opened to any page and a word is merely thought of. The performer writes down his impression of the word and places it aside in full view. Another aud! ience member is encouraged to try and read the first participant's mind, but, usually, to no avail. The performer comes to the rescue by revealing the word he previously wrote down.

BABY HUGH-Y - One of Marc's personal favorite routines. He destroyed a room full of magicians at the 2008 4F convention with this. In fact, several pros asked him not to release it so they could have it exclusively. It starts out as the classic Baby Gag, but goes on to a real payoff that is unexpected, hysterical and a real fooler. This one is worth the price of the whole set.

LINKING FINGER RINGS - There have been many versions of this classic effect, but none so clean and fair looking as this. It combines a number of known ideas, but the addition of a Tim Conover idea takes it to new heights. Marc uses the Joe Porper version of the Himber Ring and he teaches his handling with that set, but also teaches it using the more standard Himber Ring.

GHOST BOX - It starts with Dean Dill's! Box, but that's only the beginning. This 11-minute presentation is about a real haunted house. In fact, the box Marc uses was crafted from wood that actually came out of the house. The routine begins with Dean's sequences (which are not taught) using drapery tie-backs, a candle snuffer and a napkin ring. Then, knotted napkins untie themselves, first behind closed doors, then in full view, with the doors of the box completely open. The routine culminates in a book test with a pair of slates. The selected page vanishes from the book and appears between the slates, but the selected words are written on the slates as well. This is practically an act in itself.

FLOATING TABLE (performance only) - A wonderful presentation for Losander's fantastic floating table. This is a seven and a half minute, fully scripted performance based on the history of spiritualism. The moment when the table floats is so unexpected that it often elicits screams from the participant.

Volume 1
Music and Magic: Stand-Up Magic for Cabaret and Stage

MULTIPLYING BALLS - This is one of Marc's regular openers for his stand-up show. Based on Alan Wakeling's neo-classic routine, Marc has varied and tailored the original by adding ideas from Ch! anin, McComb, Rooklyn and others.

THE FULL CIRCLE ROPE ROUTINE - A unique rope routine which begins and ends with a single length of rope. This piece combines ideas and sequences from Sands, Daryl, Tabary, Sanders and some unpublished ideas contributed by Tim Conover. A great commercial routine with lots of magic happening in three minutes.

CARD AND BALL ROUTINE - A wonderful sequence of card manipulation, which culminates in the cards changing to a ball several times. Marc published just a small portion of this over 20 years ago, but it is taught here in its entirety for the first time. There are numerous card sequences that have never been seen in the U.S.

LINKING HEARTS - This routine is right out of Marc's award-winning act. It uses three heart-shaped golden rings, but everything is easily adaptable to standard ring sets. Also, Marc's Floating Ring, created in 1980, is taught for the first time.

BILLS AND COINS - This is in homage to the late, great! Fred Kaps. It combines Marc's handling of Kaps' Diminishing Bills to Coins with an unpublished Pierre Brahma coin vanish sequence and ends with Marc's handling of Kaps' incredible manipulation routine with jumbo coins. This is all being explained for the first time in thorough detail.

TEQUILA - Jerry Andrus' brilliant Zone Zero on steroids! You will need to know the original Andrus routine to be able to perform it as shown, but all of Marc's variations are fully explained. A lime appears and vanishes when dropped into a hole in a plastic board. At the end, a shot glass, a salt shaker and a full-sized bottle of tequila are produced. This is a killer opener!

Altered States by David Regal

An easy-to-do, offbeat card routine that never fails to impress. A card, selected from a blue-backed deck and signed across its face by a spectator is torn in half. One half is placed in a blue card box and the other in a red card box. The spectator's partial signature is on the face of both halves. The card boxes are shaken and the cards dumped out. The half that came out of the blue box still has a blue back, but the card out of the red box now has a red back. The two halves fit together and so do the two parts of the signature. Everything can be immediately examined and the two half-cards can be given to spectators as souvenirs.

Comes with fifteen (15) Half & Half, Poker-size, Bicycle cards printed by the U.S. Playing Card Co. and photo-illustrated instructions. Can be repeated three times with different cards.

Ultimate NO-FORCE Mental Epic

If you are a Mentalist or a Magician that wants to add something different to your act, then this is what you have been waiting for. A Mental Epic that is not only a first quality prop, but it dosn't require any force what so ever.

Made of the finest quality hard woods. Predictions can be written in one color and responces may be written in a different color. This one even fools magicians.

"I've always liked Mental Epic. But this no force version from Joe Lefler at Fun-Tastic is so much better! He also showed me a wonderful presentation based on ideas from the fertile mind of Larry Becker, that is great for kids. I normally would not recommend mentalism for kids, but with this prop and the Becker routine it provides a wonderful interlude after the madness of Run Rabbit Run, and gives the little monkeys time to think a bit! A great trick, well made and highly recommended!" - Andy Martin, Austin TX

    Psychological Subtleties 3 by Banachek

    get it here
    At the time, Psychological Subtleties 2 was written, Banachek had a large amount of additional material, including commercial routines and tips from friends, that in total would have made that book too large to fit the format of the series. Although Psychological Subtleties 2 was acclaimed as the "Best Book of 2007," we withheld some strong material with the intent of publishing a substantive companion to the series in a separate book. What you are holding is the culmination of a lifetime of research and development, through live performances from Banachek with contributions from an eclectic group of colleagues and professionals around the globe who understood the value and impact of the ideas from the first book.

    The "Psychological Subtleties" series is considered by many to be the ultimate mentalism toolbox. Rarely do you find a magician, particularly in the mentalism community, who doe! s not use some idea, trick or routine that has been inspired by Banachek's magical philosophy, performances, or writings.

    With this third book he continues to inspire readers with the "Psychological Subtleties" series by offering additional fresh and creative ideas along with full routines from both himself and his friends from around the globe. Here you will find routines from Paul Alberstat, Sean Waters, Robert Domenech, Leonardo Silverio, Colin McLeod, Andrew Gerard, Marc Spelmann, Peter Nardi, Don Marco, Craig Leonard, Peter Arcane, Brad Henderson, Mark Roberts, Leo Boudreau, Jonathan Grant, Tony Binarelli, Docc Hilford, Kenton Knepper, Michael Murray, Richard Busch, Bryan Quinn, Francis J. Menotti, Ravi, Raj Madhok, Greg Arce, David Penn, and Joseph Atmore.

    The foreword was contributed by the International Man of Mystery, David Berglas.

    Needle Thru Arm Deluxe by Harry Andersons

    Harry Anderson's signature effect!

    Effect: You roll back your sleeve, and start talking about things like 'pain thresholds,' 'surgical procedures,' 'incisions,' 'puncture wounds,' and other grisly subjects. What might you be up to' Then, from the table, the spectators see a gleaming, 9-inch-long needle, glinting in the stage light. 'This,' the you say, 'is a replica of a traditional voodoo needle, used for the old pin-in-doll routine you've probably heard about. Stick a pin in a doll that looks like your enemy, and supposedly, you'd hurt them at the exact spot the pin was inserted.'

    Setting the needle back on the table, clean your arm with a towel, and hold it up for all to see. Then, picking up the needle, you plunge it into the bare flesh of your forearm! There is no hiding it - the needle has been thrust through the flesh, plain and simple. The cold, hard steel is run ba! ck and forth through the wound, which begins to bleed. The spectators let out a collective 'Eeeewwww!' Surprisingly, none of this seems to bother you, continuing to patter about 'mind over matter.'

    Indeed, even though the blood continues to flow down his arm at a steady rate, you are unconcerned by the situation. The needle is slowly and deliberately removed from the arm in full view of the audience. A sterile towel is used to clean off the blood. Amazingly, the arm is unharmed. Perhaps, despite the pseudo-scientific lecture and the amazingly realistic nature of the demonstration, it was just another cunning dodge - a trick of the imagination, perhaps.

    NEW IMPROVED NEEDLE...Screw-off bulb for easy clean up!

    Complete with:
  • Needle w/screw-off bulb
  • Harry Anderson's stage Blood
  • Glue
  • Harry's complete write-up of routine

    . The lecture was a huge hit and enjoyed by all The word that comes to mind is practical. The notes were well written with good advice for the real world'.
    - Norman Beck, Writer, MUM.

    'I love watching Howard work...at first glance, he appears to be very unassuming. But within minutes, you will realize how badly you are being taken in by him! Howard's card work is as smooth as card work can get!!! Besides that, he has much knowledge to share and he is one hell of a nice guy!!!'
    - Mike Gallo

    'If you were not one of the fortunate ones to attend Mr. Hamburg's Lecture at the Golden Gate Gathering during the summer of '09, all is not lost. Mr. Hamburg has graciously agreed to make the soon to be coveted 'D' manuscript available. Although it would be far better if you could catch Howard's lecture in person, obtaining the beautiful manuscript he prepared for us will serve as a close second.

    This booklet, beautif! ully written and illustrated, is divided into two sections. The first section delivers a wonderful personal and historical account of Howard's days as a friend and student of Dai Vernon, complete with stories and photographs not generally known or seen among the fraternity. Howard relates these stories in a fashion that will captivate you just as he mesmerized everyone in that lecture room- including the story behind the the very title of his booklet: 'D'. I don't want to ruin that for you, but let me say that it was one of the most touching, (and revealing) stories I've ever heard concerning Dai Vernon.

    The second section is the Magic! You are in for a treat. I only wish that you could have been in the audience that day, as we were ALL fooled soundly by Mr. Hamburg. As he performs these wonderful items, you sense the years of tutelage and exposure to the master; and Howard's contemporaries at the Magic Castle in those days. Not one stone unturned in these routines honed to entertain and fool your audience badly! And here's the good part, not one a knuckle buster! Howard does magic that is for the real world, and magic that leaves people happy to have been so wonderfully fooled. And he did the same for a room full of magicians. My personal favorite is 'Hidden Prediction', a devious masterpiece that unfolds right under your audience's nose, and finally reaches up and smacks them right on the forehead! Happily, it's a smack that leaves them absolutely delighted, as I'm confident you will be as you explore this little masterpiece, 'D'.

    Crossroads by Ben Harris


    Wizard HQ Product Search      


    Crossroads by Ben Harris

    . Thorough crediting supports a pleasing mixture of psychologically innovative applications of time tested themes as well as familiar approaches that both captivate and entertain. Well written and easy to understand, Mr. Harris' basic method and impossible vanish and reappearance routine are magnified by the fact that the deck is not touched by the performer!

    'A second effect by Steve Shufton logically extends the possibilities. Properly done, a thoughtful, capable performer will be remembered as having demonstrated an Any Card At Any Number, again, where the untouched deck is handled only by the Participant in a very simple, straightforward way without any prior preparation.

    'This is potentially a very strong impression to leave with any audience. The 'Crossroads Technique' alone, which we really like, will be seen as food for thought by many. As mentalists, our variation would be to use no deck at all. Just a single, thought-of card in the pocket.! The solution will dawn on you after reading the text.'
    - Richard Busch & Larry Becker

    'There are two main features here; a named card vanishes from a sealed deck that you never touch, and the card is found at an impossible location of your choice. Causing any card to vanish from a deck under such impossible conditions is not an easy problem to solve. However, Ben has hit on an elegant solution, and what's more; the whole thing is technically self-working. If you're looking for a direct and powerful card effect, you'll love this. And, if you enjoy experimenting and exploring the ins and outs of a trick, you'll love this even more because the possibilities seem endless...'

    Heads or Tails? Its Magicians Choice...

    Heads or Tails? It's Magician's Choice...

    If you're new to the world of magic then you may or may not have heard of a technique called "magician's choice". This is one of those tricks that every magician needs up their sleeve.

    If you're a newcomer to the field or are just interested in learning more about magic and illusion then you're going to love this technique. And for you seasoned pros out there? This will be like revisiting an old friend. After all, spend any time in this industry and you'll run into this great technique over and over again. Yep, it's that good.

    Here's how it works: magician's choice is a technique that makes the spectator think that he or she is making an independent choice. But really, the magician is carefully guiding that person to make sure they choose exactly what the magician wants them to choose.

    It's easier to understand magician's choice when it's used with a spectator. So, let's look at an easy beginner trick called "Heads or Tails" to see this technique in action.


    The Trick: Heads Or Tails

    Here's how the Heads or Tails trick looks to spectators: you place a nickel, a dime, and a quarter, along with a sealed envelope, on a table. With a bit of prompting from you the spectator chooses one of the coins, and the others are pushed aside. Next, your spectator flips the coin.

    Once you've determined whether it's heads or tails you open the envelope and shake out a small piece of paper. That paper reveals exactly what coin was chosen, and whether or not it landed heads or tails. It's an exact prediction that will wow your audience.

    Romhany's Travel Book Test by Paul Romhany

    If you have ever wanted to perform a book test but couldn't afford the high price tags - Romhany's book test now offers you a three phase routine complete with the specially designed book, at a very affordable price - you can start performing this almost instantly as the book does the work for you. There is nothing to memorize.

    For the past twenty years Paul Romhany has been traveling and performing his magic all over the world, and has visited more than seventy five countries. Because of his extensive travel, he ended up writing a book for lay people on his top ten travel destinations. To help promote his book during his shows, he would perform a book test. Of course, the one he used during his show was a special book he had printed, to look like the one he sold - but this one was gimmicked and enabled him to perform a three phase book test routine with it.

    EFFECT:
    A bo! ok of holiday destinations is handed out, and a spectator thinks of a country, another chooses the first word on any page while another person looks at a paragraph and concentrates on an image. You take out three business cards and write down a country, the thought of word and draw the image that the spectator is thinking. There is nothing to memorize as the book does it all for you.

    You can use this book test as a stand alone routine performing the three phase routine Paul does, or have it as an addition book test with the other books you may perform with already.

    Comes complete with gimmick book and instructions.
