Dr. Manhattan Change & Book Change

2013-07-19T21:18:00.001-07:00

Episode lV - The Dr. Manhattan Change is one of my most used color changes. I am a firm believer that the more cover you have over the card during the change, the less magical it seems to the spectators due to the more time you had to potentially do something sneaky. The DMC is one of the most open and one of the fastest changes I’ve ever seen. If Dr. Manhattan (Most epic superhero of all time) did a color change, I think it would look like this. I’ve been doing the DMC since about 3 and a half years ago. I have used it at all of my performances. The concept is simple but the unseen execution work put into this move behind the scenes is what makes it so deadly. Danny Garcia jump started my creative process towards completing this move back at Magic Con 1. Since then I’ve transformed it and built it to what it is today. To this day it has remained one of the moments during a routine where I KNOW it will create a reaction. It’s a crowd pleaser and in my mind, one of the most direct color changes I’ve ever seen. A true declaration of technique to other fellow card men and a real moment of magic for your spectators.
The Book Change is probably one of the most unique changes ever made. It’s one of those changes that is in a class of its own due to its rare form of delivery. I also teach a control with it and some extra tips to make this part of a killer routine. The Book change has fooled countless magicians and to this day there is almost nothing that is equal to its level of rareness when it comes to color changes.

In my opinion, real visual magic comes from color changes. This is why all of the Arthritis Onslaughts have so many of them. This download is a two in one and I am honored to deliver both of these to you at the same time. Welcome to episode lV, The DMC & BC.

Do you believe in fate or destiny?
You remove an envelope from your pocket. It is sealed. There are no secret compartments or hidden flaps. You explain that inside this envelope, there is one prediction. One card, sealed. No matter what the spectator says or does, nothing can change the outcome. It is fate. It is determined.
You give the spectator a deck of cards. They examine. They shuffle.
You are completely sure of your prediction, and to prove it, you tear open the envelope, showing a face down card. You are committed. And to make things even MORE fair, you turn the card over. They see the identity. They see the future.
After they finish shuffling, you ask the spectator to start dealing cards one by one onto your left hand. Whenever they feel like it, they can stop - and deal the NEXT card face down onto your right hand.
When the moment feels right - when intuition strikes - they stop dealing.
They deal the next card face down onto your right hand, leaving just two cards: your exposed prediction, and their face down selection. Suspense builds. How could they POSSIBLY match? They examined the deck. They shuffled the deck. Nevertheless, their card is slowly overturned, and it MATCHES your prediction.
30 minutes of detailed instruction by Andy Nyman: actor, magician, co-writer, director, and producer for Derren Brown. Andy is a man of many talents, and within this DVD, you’ll get a front row seat showing the inner work of his dangerous mind.

T Change by Jeff Prace

2013-07-15T09:13:00.001-07:00

The T Change from Jeff Prace is a stunning color change that's surprisingly easy to do. Additionally, unlike similar color changes, the T Change doesn't leave a reversed card in the center, so you're left completely clean.

From an ordinary deck, a card is turned face up and inserted into the center. Without any cover, the card visually morphs into another. It's simplicity is magical and the T Change is a great way to reveal a selected card regardless of your skill level.

Coin Through Glass by Alex Ward

2013-07-15T09:04:00.001-07:00

Coins have passed through everything, hands, tables, pockets, metal boxes and of course drinking glasses.

What they haven't done is pass through visually and in slow motion. Alex Ward has done exactly that. He's created the fairest, cleanest and most visual coin through glass we've ever seen.

A coin is placed in the mouth of a glass, you can see it sitting there. Then visually, and oh so slowly, it is pulled down through the side wall of the glass. Words really don't do this beautiful effect justice. You have to watch the trailer of Alex doing this.

Best of all, it is all done with a normal glass and a normal coin.

Array by Baz Taylor

2013-07-09T03:15:00.001-07:00

Baz Taylor’s Array Reveals a Card in an Unexplainable Manner

Baz Taylor’s Array is a sleightless Triumph that takes this already amazing magic card trick to a new level. Not only do you find a spectator’s selected card in an unusual and unexplainable manner, you instantly repeat it with another spectator’s selection without any false moves, cuts or shuffles.

Array is Card Magic for the Strolling and Close Up Magician

Array is one of those unique card effects with three magical moments that are unexplainable. The method behind the magic is impenetrable as there are no false movements and the revelations happen quickly. The technique behind the card magic is clever and streamlined. Array is designed to be performed at a table for the close up performer or in your hands, making Triumph viable for the strolling magician.

Align Your Magical Powers with Array

With Array, you have the option of either two or three cards being selected, depending on whether or not you want to use Peter Nardi’s opening addition to Array. With Peter Nardi’s opening addition to Array you have three cards selected. One is signed by a spectator and lost in the deck. Using two simple sleights that Peter shows in the instructional DVD, when you spread the cards the spectator’s signed card has magically turned face up in the deck.

Now you are ready for Baz Taylor’s Sleightless Triumph. There are two spectators holding cards that they have freely selected from the deck. You cut the remaining cards into four packets. Two of the packets are turned face up and two face down. You fairly shuffle all four packets together, resulting in a deck that has cards facing both directions. Spreading through the deck, you reveal all the cards have magically turned face down, except for the suit of the card that the first spectator selected. Every card in their suit is face up, matching the suit of the selected card they are holding. Then, without any false moves, you close the deck, re-spread the cards, and amazingly, every card in the second spectator’s suit is now face up, excluding his selected card.

If you’re looking to get more spectators involved in your magic and a unique way to reveal selected cards, than Array is card magic you’ll want to know.

Revoke by Gianni Vox

2013-06-28T12:18:00.003-07:00

You're at a party with your friends. It happens. They ask you to show them a trick and they want you to use their things...

In comes Revoke by Gianni Vox. Using a borrowed Sharpie (Permanent marker... none of that dry erase garbage) you have a spectator sign their initials on THEIR OWN COIN. You draw an 'X' on the other side of the borrowed coin. You show your hands completely empty, then wave your hand over the 'X'...

It's gone.

The 'X' vanishes, you move your pointing finger along your arm, up your other hand and on to the back of your hand! It's permanent. It's not wiping off.

THAT is Revoke!

Revoke has been designed with the impromptu street magician in mind. You can walk into a party with next to nothing and perform this miracle with all borrowed objects.

-This is the effect you've been waiting for. It's small, will fit in ANY pocket (even little tiny ones). You are always ready to perform this miracle.

-Everything is examinable at the end, because everything is borrowed. Never get caught with some weird gimmick you can't explain.

-You leave your spectator with the impossible coin, missing the 'X' of course. They WILL show this to people and talk about it. How could they not?

Warning: You will need to help your friends pick up their jaws off the floor after they see this. This isn't your grandfather's coin trick. This is a coin trick for the new magic generation.

Happy Travels by Rick Lax

2013-06-28T11:39:00.000-07:00

Really easy to do, really hard to figure out. You’ll be fooling people with Happy Travels in no time. The plot is simple…but the method is diabolical. NO PALMING!
Here’s how it looks: You remove the deck from the box and show that every card is different. Then you return half the deck to the box.
You turn around and tell your spectator to shuffle the remaining 26 cards and then pick one.
“I want you to put your card back in the pack,” you say, “but not the pack it came from; put it in the middle of the cards in the card box.”
After that’s done, you turn back around.
The box goes in your right pocket and the leftover cards go in your left. A couple seconds later…you not only reveal the spectator’s card by name, you show that IT’S JUMPED FROM POCKET TO POCKET, from the boxed packet to the unboxed packet. You pull out the unboxed stack and spread the cards to prove it.
WARNING: Justin Flom loves this trick and he’s going to be lecturing on it soon. So if you want to perform it before anyone else, get the download and see what all the fuss is about.

Circuit by Zach Heath

2013-06-25T04:21:00.001-07:00

Place a ring on your index finger - fairly. With a jolt of your wrist, it visibly JUMPS to your middle finger. That’s only the beginning.
A second shake makes the ring jump to your ring finger. Then back to the middle finger. As a final feat, you can make the ring jump from your middle finger ALL the way to your pinky.
There is no cover, no awkward movements, and no ditching.
It’s all completely visual, right in front of your eyes. As soon as you’re finished, you cleanly remove the ring and hand it out for inspection. Circuit is 100% examinable before and after the effect.
No get ready. No setup. Instantly perform it on demand - on command. Works perfectly as an engaging, powerful opener. It's completely clean.
Includes a Tungsten ring specifically designed for Circuit. No matter how closely the spectators look, they won’t catch the secret. The ring feels and looks completely normal and can be worn anywhere, all the time.

No ring is gimmicked in this routine even though spectator may think they are
Relatively easy to perform with some practice
Battle tested in thousands of live performances
The routine is meant to be performed with ALL EYES BURNING YOUR HANDS

Reflex by Patrick Kun

2013-06-24T08:06:00.001-07:00

A three-phase routine with an ordinary, ungimmicked ring. Impromptu ring magic in finest form: the ring simply melts through your fingers.
Show your ring to the spectator, and ask them to hold out their hands. The ring is placed on YOUR index finger, and shown to visibly MELT through - falling into their outstretched hands. That's only the beginning.
The ring is completely ungimmicked. The routine is completely impromptu.
30 minutes of detailed instruction. Each move was designed to fit YOUR personal style in a standalone performance or within the structure of a routine. Patrick includes performance tips and subtleties that were developed with the help of Garrett Thomas, acclaimed ring magic expert.
As an extra bonus, Patrick teaches a beautiful ring vanish off the table. With just a wave, the ring seems to visually, fairly, slowly vanish.

High End by Blake Vogt

2013-06-24T08:06:00.000-07:00

Ask the spectator to name ANY four of a kind... then proceed to confuse them by removing the aces (even though they named the nines). Each ace turns face up one by one until all four have visually flipped over. Then, when the spectator thinks the effect is over, the four aces visually morph into the four of a kind that they named at the very beginning.
High End sets the spectators up for a smooth very clear journey when the magician cleanly causes 4 visual changes to occur but then they are smacked in the face with the huge kicker that they freely determined before the effect began.
This effect can be performed impromptu and use a borrowed shuffled deck.
Over 30 minutes of detailed instruction are included in the download with clear explanations and a mirror below the cards so everything is understood.
Two alternate endings are provided by Patrick Kun and Alex Pandrea.
Add this quick and visual 4 ace routine to your arsenal today!

Trumped Triumph by Joshua Jay

2013-06-24T04:21:00.002-07:00

This is a Triumph with a HUGE surprise ending, and one that nobody sees coming. Based on John Bannon's seminal "Play It Straight" effect, this version allows you to spread the cards to cause only a spectator's selection to turn face up. But that you instantly respread the deck (no moves) to show that all the cards of a matching suit also turned face up.

It's impossible and unexpected, yet a logical climax to a Triumph routine. Joshua Jay teaches you every step in great detail, and the best part is that you'll be able to incorporate this routine into your repertoire almost immediately. Not at all difficult to do!

CONTROL BY OLLIE MEALING

2013-06-13T05:57:00.000-07:00

Shot in Ellusionist's Toronto studio on the shores of Lake Ontario, 'Control' is Ollie Mealing's magnum opus of original card controls, used throughout his startling magic performances.

Powerful enough to stand on their own, these controls may be presented from something as simple as a color-change to a performance as complex as showcasing the magician's mastery of the cards in his hands.

In this video, Ollie Mealing presents 11 of his very best. This is Ollie Mealing: Control.
FULL OVERVIEW

"Magnificent. So rare to be fooled and delighted". -Derren Brown

"Ollie creates an unbelievable world and leaves the audience agog with wonder. " -Tania Harrison

A highlight on the UK Festival circuit, Ollie Mealing had kept his genius relatively hidden from magicians until last year, where he began to release his Card Magic series on YouTube, playing with the mind of his spectator like a master-puppeteer in each mind-boggling video. When Daniel Madison brought Ollie to our attention in October of last year, we instantly sat up and took notice.

Before he was whisked away to work on Derren Brown's 'Infamous' tour, we brought Ollie across the pond to teach us 11 original controls - fluid, imperceptible movements that demonstrate his complete and utter command over the order, placement and position of any card he chooses.

Ollie is as in tune with the considered movement of an individual card as a concert pianist is with each key he touches. In this video he teaches the movements, subtleties and handlings to be as adept at each control as it is possible to be.

Controls
Chasm
A Card is peeked in the middle of the pack and the deck squared. With a quick fan, the selected card is now positioned at the bottom of the pack.

Bionic
The deck is spread and a card down-jogged. The deck is closed and it's only at the last minute that the jogged-card is pushed flush. The top card can immediately be shown to be the selection.

Behind Bars
A card is selected from the pack and the deck fanned to allow reinsertion. The deck is cleanly squared, and the selection is now ready to be bottom-palmed off for later use.

Reload
The cards are dribbled into the hand and a selection fairly chosen. The dribble is completed on top of the selection, the deck spread lengthways, and re-squared. Where an instant before it was in the middle of the spread, the chosen card has somehow made it's way to the bottom of the pack.

Daredevil
The cards are riffled off the fingers until the spectator indicates a choice. The spectator is shown the selection one last time before the deck is squared. Once again, it's moved its way to the bottom of the deck.

Compass
A selection and control wrapped up in a tumbling flourish. A chosen card is shown fairly in the spread and inserted into the centre of a fan. With the lose of the fan, the card is now on the bottom of the deck.

Regurgitate
A must for any ACR where a table is close by. The deck is spread showing the selection in the middle of the pack before the spread is closed. The card's just done what every good ambitious card should do.

Tumble
A packet flipping control that's simple, direct and utterly impossible. The selection is fairly shown in the middle of the deck, but is back on top when the cut is completed. You'll fool even yourself with this one.

Suspension
A tabled cut shows a card in the middle of the deck. The card is riffled shuffled into the pack, remaining out-jogged until the two packets are squared. The deck can be instantly flipped to show the card has moved to the bottom of the deck.

Time Will Tell
We're going to have to find a way to work this into every trick we do. The deck is cut, leaving one card balanced on the thumb. The card pirouettes as the other half of the deck is spread on the table. The spread is completed with the chosen card in the middle. On squaring the pack, the spun card has shifted to the bottom of the deck.

Poison
As clean as any control can be. Poison is like a spread pass without the need for a pass. The deck is spread, a card shown, and the spread closed. The chosen card is now on top of the deck. This move will have spectators looking for the duplicate still in the middle of the pack.

Bonus: Synchronicity
An amazing four ace control that… Wait - it's a bonus. You'll find out when you see it.
