David Regal's Color Changing Knives

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 22:23:36 GMT

David Regal has done something we're VERY grateful for: he has taken the classic "Color-Changing Knives" and given it a radical update in props and in routine. In other words, if you want to do this great, classic effect, this is "the" version to get. Why? We'll give you three reasons:

They look like real knives...because they are. These are NOT doctored knives after-the-fact. They're designed for the paddle move from the ground up, with maximal "color" space to change. But, they look just life the knives some would carry in their pocket.
Not sharp. This sounds like a small point, but because these props could be handled by spectators, the knives aren't sharp, though they give the illusion that they are.
The best ending. This set comes with a final production knife that looks and feels exactly like a Swiss Army Knife. This way, the final change is one not just of color, but also of size and shape, into a knife brand everyone is familiar with.

These knives are a dream to perform with. The benefit is in the detail: for example, one side of each knife is smooth and the other is rough so you can identify the color in your pocket...by feel. They have a good weight, and the shape makes it easy to do the paddle move. They will last a lifetime, and the routine provided by David is surprising, visual, and logical. And in the end you produce a totally different kind of knife.

The Four Treasures

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:10:14 GMT

Harapan Ong has finally cracked the code to a problem plaguing countless magicians...

As magicians, we love playing cards. With 1,000s of different decks of cards available, some of us have amassed quite a collection of custom playing cards. Often these decks replace the Jokers and advertising cards with special gimmick cards. Yet, for the most part, don't give you much insight on how to use them.

With The Four Treasures, Harapan Ong (the brilliant mind behind Principia) teaches you how to turn these overlooked gaffs into powerful tools for your everyday repertoire.

An expert card magician, Harapan has identified the double-backer, double-index card and two different double-faced cards as the most versatile gimmicked cards. He carries them in every deck of cards and now is ready to share his knowledge with you.

The Four Treasures features four incredible effects. Each one uses exactly one of these treasures. This means that, as long as you have at least one of these four playing cards in your case, you'll be able to perform a card magic miracle.

Get Ready to Learn:

An easy two-card transpo that will catch even the most clever magicians off guard
How to make a signed selection disappear from a spectator's open palm and reappear in your pocket
A brilliant packet trick with a stunning imbalanced transposition finale
A powerful sandwich routine with two selections and a kicker ending that will have your audiences baffled (Harapan's personal favorite routine in the book)

Every routine in The Four Treasures is described in great detail and accompanied by more than 90 stunning, color photographs. To make learning even easier, you'll also receive a link to a full video performance of every trick.

So, grab your copy of The Four Treasures now and get ready to learn some killer card magic that you can, and will, want to carry with you everywhere!

NOTE: This book comes with Red Bicycle Rider Back Playing Card Gaffs. However, the effects can be performed with similar gaffs from any deck.

The Expert at the Card Table: A Graphic Novel

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 14:44:39 GMT

The Expert at the Card Table has been the most studied card manipulation book for almost 120 years. For the first time you can meet the author S.W. Erdnase, the man shrouded in mystery, and session one-on-one with him. Every page is full of rich illustrations, complete with the original illustrations being re-inked and incorporated into this seminal work. Adapted and illustrated by David Trustman (The Rise, GOD Slap, The Memory Arts) The Expert at the Card Table Graphic Novel is an entirely true-to-the-original, but reformatted edition meant to be as reader friendly as possible. With almost an additional 100 figure drawings, this is the most expansive version of The Expert to date.

If you ever wanted to learn the material in Erdnase , then this is the book you need. The artwork is fantastic and it makes learning the Erdnase material so much easier, however you will need to put the work in. Absolutely first class and highly recommend. I wish I had a book like this, I would have learnt the Erdnase material more quickly. Eddie McColl

This is hands down the best! Extra clarity added to every image while staying true to the original artwork gives this classic a much needed upgrade. If you've read expert at the card table 100 times, or just skimmed it, you have to add this amazing version to your collection. Daryl Williams

Reading Erdnase's book is now easier and much more entertaining than ever thanks to David Trustman. The illustrations are incred�ble. Highly recommended. Fenik

Vernon Chronicles Volume 4: He Fooled Houdini (eBook)

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 23:30:39 GMT

In 1992, the beloved magic book series chronicling the legendary magic tricks hidden in Bruce Cervon's "Castle Notebooks" concluded with "Vernon Chronicles Vol. 4: He Fooled Houdini, Dai Vernon a Magical Life." For years, this was easily one of the hardest "Vernon Chronicles" to find. But now, it's been remastered as an incredible eBook!

Unlike the previous books, which focused mostly on tricks, this book instead contains a variety of fascinating anecdotes about Dai's life. Since there are only a few tricks included, the beginner magician eager to find the next best trick may pass on the chance to read this amazing book. However, any magician that desires to truly master their craft must read "Vernon Chronicles Volume 4".

This text offers an in-depth look at the thinking process of one of the most influential magicians of the 20th century. Not only has Dai influenced many young magicians, he has also personally known many great magicians of the past such as Nate Leipzig, Cardini, Malini, Harry Houdini, T. Nelson Downs (The King of Koins), Harry Blackstone, and many others-all of whom are discussed in this remarkable book.

Vernon Chronicles Volume 1: Lost Inner Secrets (eBook)

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 23:25:31 GMT

In 1963 Dai Vernon was invited by The Academy of Magical Arts to move to Hollywood and become the resident "living legend" at the Magic Castle. Upon hearing this news, two young close-up artists packed up and moved cross country to Hollywood, just to sit at the feet of "The Professor". These two men were Bruce Cervon and Larry Jennings. During a three-year period in the early 1960s, they spent every minute they could with Dai Vernon-and each night Bruce Cervon went home and carefully recorded everything he had learned.

Cervon's notes grew to fill fourteen large binders. Among the inner circle, these became known as The Castle Notebooks, and their content was much coveted and speculated upon. Within these notebooks were known to lie fabulous secrets and tricks, knowledge gathered and guarded by The Professor over a lifetime in magic that spanned seventy years. Secrets that were kept from print and reserved for the use of a very privileged few....until now!

In 1987, with the permission of Dai Vernon and assistance of Stephen Minch, Larry Jennings and Louis Falanga, these legendary Castle Notebooks were made available to the magic community. And now you can read them in a convenient eBook format!

Rarely are books recognized as a classic before they reach press. However, "The Vernon Chronicles Vol. 1: Lost Inner Secrets" was just that.

Volume One contains more than fifty sleights, tricks and routines with cards and coins including No-Sleight Triumph, The Fingerprint Card Trick, Vernon's original handling for his classic Cutting The Aces, the Turnover Pass, the Vernon Multiple False-Cut, the Push-Through Shuffle, the Diagonal Palm Shift and so much more. While these are now classics of magic, they were explained for the first time in these pages.

The material is vintage Vernon, the magic that made him a legend among magicians; expert magic that has made one reputation and will make others. Also included are rich insights into the thinking and psychology that is known as "The Vernon Touch," and historical anecdotes that are both entertaining and informative. Numerous rare photos and pieces of memorabilia from The Professor's private collection have been added, as well as a biographical essay on him by Elizabeth Wilson.

Bubble Thought

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 23:12:04 GMT

Here at Vanishing Inc., we're trying hard not to over-promise on product descriptions or oversell you. But we mean this: "Bubble Thought" is the best virtual card trick we've ever seen. Why? Because it garners gasps and screams. And because it doesn't require any tedious, mathematical follow-along instructions.

"Bubble Thought" looks like this, and it really is this clean: A spectator grabs any deck of cards from around their house and mixes them thoroughly while you do the same with your deck. They holds the cards up to her screen so you, the performer, can think of one. Then you hold up your cards so they can think of one. Now each of you cuts the pack at any point you like. You each cut to each other's card. Pure. Simple. Impossible.

"Bubble Thought" is more than a simple glimpse and reveal. There are layers of subtlety to ensure that every moment in the trick is both clear and impossible. The best part might just be Adam's revolutionary, new handling of the venerable Cross Cut Force. His handling not only allows you to perform this long distance, but it allows you to perform the force without ever touching the cards. Moreover, the two packets are kept entirely separate for the duration of the force, which (we think) makes it even more effective.

Running time: 1 hour 4 minutes

Please note: "Bubble Thought" will require you to assemble "your" deck of cards from several existing decks. There are no gaffs required, per se, but duplicate cards are necessary.

"Such a smart virtual trick. I'll be using this often!" Andi Gladwin

"The best virtual trick I've ever seen." Joshua Jay

"Adam Elbaum has a gift for creating effects that are easy to understand and methods that are impossible to reconstruct. His latest creation, Bubble Thought, begins with a disarming take on Think-a-Card and ends with the thing we've all been searching for since March - A reveal on their side of the screen with no contrived procedure. It is the perfect virtual card trick." Noah Levine

"Adam's thinking is as deep as his voice. (And both turn me on for some reason?) Highly recommended. (Use headphones.)"Harrison Greenbaum

Bubble Thought is amazing! Adam Elbaum, one of the cleverest guys I know, has created not only a great, practical effect, but has completely reimagined one of the oldest sleights you know in a ground breaking way. Bravo!" Marc DeSouza

"A slickly constricted routine which combines classic elements from Al Koran's "Double Thought" and Dai Vernon's "The Trick That Cannot Be Explained" to produce a uniquely modern piece of virtual magic. Highly recommended!" Matt Baker

The Vault - Wing

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 23:05:33 GMT

What...just...happened!

We're not sure it's possible for magic to get any more visual than "Wing" by Ade Rahmat. This is the perfect magic trick for TikTok, Instagram, Omegle or Zoom.

With the wave of a a sharpie, a playing card changes colors, transforms into a dollar bill or even COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS.

"Wing" is surprisingly easy to build and perform.

Coney Island Fakir: The Magical Life of Al Flosso (eBook)

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 22:42:20 GMT

Piles of junk accumulated at Flosso's. Showcases were crammed with antique magic equipment. Stacks of magic literature teetered on the countertops. Al Flosso lived a life of disarray. So assembling this life story proved a challenging task.

In writing The Coney Island Fakir, magic writer Gary Brown examined books, newspapers, photographs, magazines, programs, catalogs, and video and audio tapes from public and private collections, piecing together details from this chaotic record. Through interviews and correspondence, magicians, performers and collectors on four continents added their anecdotes, insights and observations about Flosso. Their recollections breathed life into "The Coney Island Fakir".

The result is a vibrant portrait and animated mosaic. The book traces Flosso's fascinating career, from his days as a street-corner shill, carnival pitchman and sideshow magician to his work on Broadway, film and television. Lavishly illustrated with dozens of photos, The Coney Island Fakir provides a vivid portrait of this unique performer.

As an ADDED BONUS, this volume contains a reprint of "Our Mysteries". Produced by Flosso in the 1940s, "Our Mysteries" features 23 classic tricks by Flosso, Al Baker, Ted Annemann and other top performers.

Annotated Magic of Slydini (eBook)

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 22:26:52 GMT
