RUNES WORLD WITH DVD A departure from any magic book you’ve read. Part instruction, part theory, part graphic novel, this new volume will challenge you to think in new ways, about new possibilities with your magic. Rune Klan is the most famous magician you’ve never heard of. An extremist in nearly every way, Rune is a walking contradiction: among magicians he has gained an international reputation as a guru of coins. Yet Rune has achieved celebrity status in his native Denmark exclusively for stand-up comedy magic. Rune Klan is the rarest kind of magician: he is an artist working without restrictions and with little compromise. His only concern is the end result. This is the thematic element that connects Rune’s boisterous stage magic with his refined close-up. Whether his objective is to transfer a coin stack from hand to hand |
RUNE KLAN (Rune goes through the cracks between each finger) or how to tear and restore a porno magazine (Rune tears a bikini-clad girl’s picture to pieces, removes a real bra from the packet, and restores the pages to show the same girl nude), all of Rune’s effects have been streamlined with the effect in mind. His effects range from standard to bizarre to illegal, but the effect is always paramount to the method. Every trick has Rune’s stamp on it. Rune’s World explores both the close-up and parlor magic that makes Mr. Klan such a dynamic force. Part magic book and part graphic novel, this is an innovative 180-page collection unlike any other in both form and content. Comes with a free companion DVD (subtitled performances, interviews in English, and some tricks performed and explained that are not in the book). This is a huge value. Printed on low-gloss paper. |

HOW GAMBLERS WIN "How Gamblers Win or the Secrets of Advantage Playing Exposed is an important contribution to early American card-sharping literature. The earliest American expose on cheating is An Exposure of the Arts and Miseries of Gambling with the author listed only as a"An Adept." The third major contribution to this body of information was How Gamblers Win or the Secrets of Advantage Playing published in hard cover in 1865 and attributed to Gerritt M. Evans. When republished in soft cover a few years later. Evan's name was omitted and the author was simply listed as "Retired Professional." Why the sudden need for anonymity? One can speculate that Evans may have experienced heat from the gambling / card -cheating fraternity (as did Green), but no one knows for sure. First thing that grabs you with how Gamblers Win is the graphically stunning jacket design featuring a devil standing on a giant die with cards in one hand and a dice cup in the other. Caricature is spectacular and the cover alone makes this title a favorite with collectors of antique gambling books. Next is the terminology "Advantage Playing" in the subtitle, employed by cheaters. Although Green and An Adept both referred to the advantages practiced by cheats, neither used the catch-all phrase of Advantage Play or Advantage Players as synonymous with cheating or cheaters. Evans was the first, I believe, and the terms were later adopted by other authors. How Gamblers Win presents a comprehensive |
 treatment of the different advantages practiced by the professional sharper in short cards, banking games played with cards and dice, and gambling cons. There's some limited history along with a "brief analysis of legitimate play" as stated on the title page. All of the popular games of the day are addressed with one striking omission. Faro, a game covered in detail by both authors previously mentioned…..How Gamblers Win is a curious, revealing and important early card-sharping title that will make you want to pick up a deck of cards and explore the technical possibilities, or pick up another book on cheating to make historical comparisons. It's loaded with more than enough gambling moves to satisfy the technicians; plenty of historical relevance to appeal to the historians; and for those who read for entertainment, the work is replete with amusing metaphors, anecdotes and showy terminology. How Gambler's Win is a bonafide classic and a cinch to become a showpiece in any gambling or card-sharping library." -Steve Forte - Pages 93 - Hardbound with Dust Jacket |

| BK43064 | CARDIAC - 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. |
ANDREW GERARD 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. |

| BK42957 | DUPLICITY - is a very different approach to a drawing duplication. Rather than duplicating someone's drawing, you have her duplicate your drawing... and then you go back and show exactly how you allowed her to do it. Here's how it plays out... You invite someone to assist you with a thought experiment. You say a few words to explain what you're going to attempt, help relax her, and put her in a receptive state of mind. Then you ask her to draw a picture of an object of her choice, keeping it hidden from you and from the rest of the audience. Afterward, you confirm with her that she could have drawn anything, and that her choice was a free one. She agrees. You then unveil a picture that you drew earlier as a prediction, which you show to the audience, but not to your assistant. |
JOSHAUA QUINN Before you see if her picture matches yours, you say you'd first like to demonstrate exactly why you predicted this particular thing. You then repeat, word for word, what you said to your assistant before she started drawing. In retrospect, the entire speech is seen (or rather, heard) to be a series of subtly veiled suggestions aimed at planting the image of your prediction into her mind. As the audience hears it for the second time, they realize it's full of phrases that seemed innocuous at first, but now stand out as glaringly obvious references to the object in your picture. Although your assistant still hasn't seen what you drew, she quickly catches on to what's happening, and her increasingly startled reactions make it clear that she recognizes how each phrase really did influence her thoughts. Finally she reveals her drawing which, of course, matches your prediction. |

TRIANGLE - 32 PAGES S/C The secret is out! Not one secret, but three new routines from Patrick Redford. Triangle is the first in a new series of booklets. Triangle is dedicated to "passing on the power." Not only will you be able to memorize a deck of cards in thirty seconds, be able to divine the amount of change shaken to your ear, and identify information on dollar bills that you've never touched. Best of all, you can even pass these powers onto your audience members and they won't know how they know! Did I mention all of these routines are impromptu? This means anywhere and anytime! |
PATRICK G. REDFORD Each effect has been detailed in COMIC BOOK format. You actually see the effect performed on the page. In addition the entire booklet has been printed in FULL COLOR. Contents: Divine Number* - A very "hands off" Serial Number Divination. - A Sound Change - Identify how much change is simply shaken to your ear. - Rain King - Memorize a deck of cards in 30 seconds. - This routine, as written, was designed for US bills & Euro Notes only. Those who work with non-us cash will be able to do an abbreviation of the routine. You will only be able to divine one bill instead of multiple bills in a performance. The bills will still remain in the subject's hands the entire time. |

BLISTER BOOK - 172 PAGES Once or twice every century, a new principle is discovered in our mystery field. In 1972, Jack Kent Tillar's Blister Effect was first published in Tarbell Volume 7. Harry Lorayne wrote, As far as I know, this principle is new to magic. The effect is that a performer mysteriously makes a blister appear on the tip of his or her finger. Since its publication, this unique effect has become well-known and used by most mentalists and magicians. However, most people don't know that Jack Kent Tillar, and Academy Award-winning composer and highly respected mentalist, had an extensive amount of work published in Magick, Genii, Invocation, and other notable publications. He has influenced many of the top professionals in mentalism today. Now, thirty-five years later, this book |
JACK KENT TILLAR celebrates all the individual ingenuity that performers have brought to this classic.Included in this volume is Jack Kent Tillar's original unpublished routine for the Blister Effect. It also contains over fifty cherished routines, ideas, wisdom, and secret devices for stage, close-up, and even radio, many of them guarded secrets, from some of today's biggest mentalism talents.Contributors include: Michael Weber, Banachek, Paul Harris, Marc Salem, Richard Osterlind, Barrie Richardson, Alain Nu, Penn & Teller, Richard Busch, Ted Karmilovich, Mark Edward, Larry Becker, Gerard Senehi, Ray Grismer, Newell Unfried, E.

TRULY SUBLIMINAL Once again Ben Highway and Kenton push past the barriers of what can be done in mentalism and magic. Like Kolossal Killer before it, this brings a new standard to dealing with spectator intuition and free spectator choice, challenging all previous methods. A card is selected and returned to the deck. The deck is cut or mixed. It’s NOT a card trick. It is a real demonstration of subliminal influence. |
KENTON KNEPPER Spectator deal cards face up on to the table, stopping whenever they feel the need. They are not to think about when to stop, but rather to stop when they feel it is time to stop. In other words, the participant must stop dealing using only his or her own intuition. The performer remains hands off as the spectator deals. The spectator deals using intuition, until they arrive at their own selected card. The spectator does not know how he or she deals to their own card. But they do. Really. |

Its about using a combination of magic and stories to produce a feeling. Contained in these pages are some of Tims routines, articles and obsessions. You will not really find anything in the way of new moves or innovative handling. If anything, you will find that handlings are as simple as possible and even very close to the moves you find described in the store-bought instructions. |
TIM CONVERSE Where possible, he tries to give credit where it belongs and where it is most certainly due. Everything is about stories. Also, as a matter of general concern, you will find that everything is kept as simple as possible. There arent many books which focus on Bizarre Magic to begin with, and of the ones that are available, many contain very elaborate effects and very elaborate setups. While these effects are often excellent, sometimes they are so intensive they become difficult to use regularly. And they shouldnt be. 125 page, large format book, features Essays on Character, Acting, Material and 20 plus routines that you could actually USE. |

The author’s research brought him in contact with members of the Cuban diaspora who were Marco’s friends and members of his theatre company when they were all beginning their lives in Cuba. The author was present when they rediscovered him in America fifty years later.The book recounts the revolution and |
KARL SURATH the agony of Marco's forced exile. It covers his seven years of doctoral studies and friendship with Abraham Maslow at Brandeis University. It gives new perspectives on his founding of the Le Grand David stage magic ensemble. It shows how the genial magician has incorporated Maslow’s principles in the colorful and often surprising life of the magic company over its thirty-year-plus history. The book includes forewords by John Fisher, Dr. Ricardo Morant (Fierman Professor of Psychology, emeritus at Brandeis), and Luis Puello, a former student in Santa Clara, Cuba. Chapters contain interviews with Cesareo about how he conceived and directed the shows. It also includes interviews with Le Grand David about his role in the productions. |

HATCHING Suppose you could take an egg and a coin and have both of them marked by a spectator. You then cause the coin to magically penetrate INSIDE the egg. A small hole is chipped in the egg, big enough to pour out some of the egg goo, but small enough that a coin, which will be found INSIDE the egg, cannot escape. Spectator can look inside the hole and verify they see the coin AND their mark. Spectator can reach through the hole and grab the coin |
NEFESCH with tongs or tweezers and pull it out THROUGH the shell themselves AND can immediately verify that it IS the same coin they marked earlier. No tricky sleights. You receive a manuscript giving you two versions of this effect, one totally impromptu, and another which thoroughly explains the gimmick. All this in a nice 45 page booklet, complete with over 50 illustrational photo's. |

SECOND GUEST A deck of cards is removed from its case and handed to the spectator for shuffling. It is a genuine, unmarked deck – not gimmicked in any way. The spectator shuffles the cards until he is satisfied and then holds on to them – the performer doesn't touch them again. Drawing attention to the card case, the performer fairly shows it on all sides pointing out that there are clearly no slits or holes to be found anywhere. You turn your back and instruct the spectator to spread the cards face down, push any card from the spread and without looking at it, seal it in the card case. The rest of the deck is then hidden from view and the performer turns back round and begins to concentrate intensely, focusing all his energy on the card case. Bit by bit, he begins to reveal the unknown card. First the colour...black. Then the suit...a Club. And finally, the value...a King, the King of Clubs! The spectator is |
DAVID FORREST asked to remove the card from the case and sure enough the card inside is none other than the King of Clubs!The above is merely an example of what is possible with the devious gimmick described within. The Second Guest uses a 100% regular deck that is genuinely shuffled in any fashion by the spectator. No marked cards. No prior set up of the deck. Completely free choice of card which will be different every time. Can be performed at any point in your set – not strictly an opener or closer. You'll love the action of the 'auto-gimmick' that hides in plain sight until you activate it through the simplest of actions and proceed to devastate the onlookers with your amazing powers of second sight! You will construct the diabolical gimmick in around twenty minutes. Once it's made, it's there for good and can be used over and over again. As always, you will most likely already have everything that you need to construct it but if not the materials are VERY easily acquired! |
