BK43481 ART OF DECEPTION - LIMITED EDITION SIGN & NUMBERED
chronicles the long and colorful relationship between conjuring and art. For the first time, the history of artist and the magic art they have created are profiled in detail. The magician and artist are similar in many ways. As is true of painting or drawing, magic is a visual form of expression. Seizing an inanimate substance such as paint or ink, and using a brush or pen as a magic wand, artists create worlds of fantasy on canvas and paper. magicians and artists alike strive to evoke wonder in the hearts and minds of their audience… In this remarkable book, award-winning author Chuck Romano, explores the rich tapestry of magic art and the men and women who have created it. Early examples of magic art from Bosch and
CHUCK ROMANO
Bruegel, to Daumier and Cham, are discussed. A detailed look at the lithographic process, the companies that produced magic lithos and the performers immortalized by them are featured. Romano also highlights contemporary collectors of conjuring and their preservation of magic art for generations to come. This revised and updated second edition also looks at other subjects, such as major artists of the past and present, illustrators of magic catalogs and magazines, conjuring's connection to comic books, artists who magic art is primarily fine art (painting or sculpture), and much more are included in this copiously illustrated volume.

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.

BK43063 DAYTON WALLET BOOK
Attention all Wallet Collectors and performers who have come to know Ron for quality and simplicity of thinking! Announcing the Dayton Wallet workshop! For sometime this simple but clever idea was shared with a select few subscribers to Oracle Magazine. Now, in new forma, Ron shares for the first time with the magic community at large, his Dayton Wallet.This is a simple Do-It-Yourself project for the magician or mentalist. With a few simple tools and a few minutes of your time, you can create a magician's loading wallet that is charming in the ease of operation and versatility.
RON DAYTON
Specifically, this is what would be considered a loading wallet, allowing you to load a card, or any small object in to your wallet as needed. It could similarly be used to steal any small object from within your wallet, and peeked at later.This thorough 10-page color monograph is available as a glossy printed booklet, or as an E book, your choice- It takes you step by step through the process of creating this simple but powerful utility device (And best of all, you can make as many of these wallets for your own use as you like- all for the price of the manuscript!) But the HOW-TO is only one half of the value of this little gem. The other half is the two routines which Ron has supplied.

BK43006 ANTIGRAVITRON - SEALED MIRACLE # 1 - Magician hands a large metal ring (of approx. 18"/ 45cm in diameter--NOT INCLUDED) to the audience for inspection. His hands are empty. A spectator puts an object of his choice on the table. Holding the ring with both hands, the performer moves it over the object (Fig.1), and then lifts the ring. As the ring is lifted, the object is lifted along with it, floating in the centre of the ring (Fig.2). The magician can turn the ring in any direction he wishes; holding it by his mere fingertips, he can even turn the ring around the object (Fig.3) - the object is floating freely in the air. The performer explains that the ring is made of a special material capable of neutralizing gravity inside the ring, so that any object in the centre of the ring will float freely in the air. ASTOR
He then takes the ring back to the table, slowly lowering it along with the object and putting both on the table. The spectators may inspect all the objects. But that's not all. The magician can immediately repeat the effect with any object at all (that doesn't weigh more than 2 lbs/ 1kg). He doesn't have to pick up or palm anything, he doesn't have to touch his body (no, there are no strings stretched across the room either!) or make any new preparations! A member of the audience simply puts any object on the table (a handkerchief, a banknote, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, a candlestick with a burning candle, a burning petroleum lamp, anything). The magician takes the ring, moves it over the chosen object - and, just like before, it floats in the middle of the ring!

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.

BK42956 ROSINI SECRET
A small piece of paper is torn from a menu. A participant writes a brief question on the blank side of the paper and folds it. The mentalist uses a deck of cards in their box as a little tray to display the folded paper. The folded paper is returned to the participant. The cards are removed from the box and shuffled by the sitter. She removes five cards and they're returned to the box and put away. As far as the mentalist is concerned EVERYTHING IS DONE! The folded paper is burned and the mentalist reveals the spectator's question through his interpretation of the five chosen cards. The mentalist undetectably switched the paper for AN EXACT DUPLICATE and read the question without any moves. SPECIAL CARD BOX DOES EVERYTHING.
DOCC HILFORD
Just let the sitter drop her billet on the card box and with it seemingly in view at all times, the billet is automatically switched. As the cards are removed and replaced in the box, you openly read the message! You learn how to gimmick any card box with a few minutes of work and some basic tools like scissors and glue. A great feature is that everything resets almost automatically, preparing you for the next table if you do restaurant work. You can tear a corner from a place mat or menu to use a billet, WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE DUPLICATE BILLETS PREVIOUSLY PREPARED. The read can be done completely surrounded and without additional props. No "turning away" or "looking into the crystal". All you need is a box of unprepared playing cards, an impromptu billet and the Rosini Secret!

BK42894 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.

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.

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
