Miracle Premonition - Steve Shufton
An open prediction like no other!
You will not believe your eyes when you see the work that has gone into producing this deck!
Explain the idea of psychic premonition - that it might actually be possible to accurately predict an event that has yet to take place. To demonstrate, show the back of a mini playing card. This mini card will be used as the prediction of a card the spectator has yet to select.
Instead of a mini playing card, you may openly write a prediction on a slip of paper, fold it and leave it in full view.
The prediction can be put in a small envelope, a rubber-banded matchbox or simply left in full view face down on the table. One way or another, the prediction is left in full view and you emphasize that it will not be touched again.
A deck of cards is removed from the card box and ribbon spread on the table, or spread between your hands. The cards are initially spread face down, as you explain that a magician will typically ask a spectator to select a card from a face down deck, which seems hardly fair! After all, without seeing the cards, the spectator has no way of knowing if it was a free selection. The cards might all be the same, or the magician may be able to use some sort of trickery to influence the spectator in his choice!
Scoop the cards up again and re-spread the deck face up. Now there is no way that the spectator can be lulled into selecting any particular card. Emphasize that, as the spectator can see, all 52 cards are there, and even a Joker, so the spectator truly has a free choice of absolutely any card in the deck.
Ask the spectator to very carefully look over all the cards, and indicate when she has made a decision. You gather up the cards. The spectator is asked to name the card so there can be absolutely no mistake that the card she names and the card she saw are definitely the same card - she can still change her mind one last time! The cards are boxed and set back on the table.
With your hands in full sight and no false moves of any kind, pick up the matchbox and remove the rubber band. The spectator admits that the box has never been out of her sight.
Your hands are shown empty before the drawer is removed. Push open the drawer and shake the miniature card out onto the table. You never touch the mini card. The spectator verifies that nothing else is in the box and nothing went in or came out of it since it was originally sealed.
The spectator is invited to turn the card over. Guess what? The miniature card perfectly matches the random and free selection!
This amazing effect has some advantages worth considering:
This effect is completely self-contained. It can be done anytime, anywhere, in short sleeves, and no pocket work. The hands and props never leave the spectator’s sight. The spectator truly has a completely free choice of any of the cards, and the deck is full, 53 cards, including a joker, with no duplicates. The choice is really free! No force of any kind!
Nothing extra is needed or used. Resets in a few seconds. No memory work. Easy to do and an absolute killer that will fool the wisest ones! Use a matchbox, an envelope or do it with no cover at all! Many revelations are included in the 32 page booklet!
Shufton's Miracle Premonition has been in development for over three years. No expense has been spared to furnish the highest quality product. Each takes hours of painstaking, meticulous work - so much so, that you will not find anything else like it, anywhere at any price!
The price has been kept as low as possible, considering the work involved in producing this miracle!

Seated - The Mini Chair Prediction
From the workshops of the Magic Wagon, comes an amazing piece of close-up mentalism.
With four miniature chairs in a row across the table, three spectators are invited to randomly pick their seat.
After the spectators are “seated” in the chair of their choice, three brass plates with a “question mark” symbol on top are introduced. The brass plates are mixed by one of the spectators and each spectator is given a free choice of one of the plates.
Point out that each person’s plate has a different color underneath and then, one at a time, reveal that the color affixed to each chair is exactly the same color that the spectator is holding!
For the surprise finish, all of the chairs are turned around to show the word “SEATED” genuinely engraved on the back of each chair except the one which was left empty!
The chairs and color plates were freely chosen, yet you have predicted which chair was chosen, which color the participants randomly selected and which chair was left empty. A truly amazing prediction with a very clever ending!
• No forces.
• No magician’s choices.
• No special envelopes.
• No equivoque.
• No stooges.
• No pre-show work.
• The effect can be repeated for the same audiences!
Each chair in each set is made with care and attention, and completely hand-crafted of genuine teak. The workmanship is collectable quality.
Each chair is approximately 2” square and about 4.5” high.

Hoppity Hip Rabbit Paddle - Joe Porper
Joe Porper, know the world around for his originality and unequalled craftsmanship, offers a new paddle for the close-up worker!
Show a beautifully-made black anodized paddle with a very cute picture of a bunny, on a red background.
First the bunny is on a red background on both sides of the paddle. In a wink, the bunny is on a yellow background on both sides of the paddle. Huh? Just when they think they have it figured out (could there be a bunny on a red background on one side and a bunny on a yellow background on the other side?) the bunnies change into a not-so-scary looking wolf!
Based on the classic Hippity Hop Rabbits, made in the quality you have come to expect from Joe Porper, and fully examinable at the end! A great trick to carry with you all the time.

Bob Does Hospitality - 3 DVD Set – Bob Sheets
– A series of three DVDs covering Bob’s current close-up repertoire of nine routines. These routines are the ones Bob does every day. These are the ones that get the money! Each DVD contains one “act”. Each act is built on three dynamite routines that will play well in any close-up situation from strolling during cocktails to table-hopping to formal close-up. With all three acts in his pockets, Bob can go from group to group without repeating a routine until he gets to the fourth group—yet each group gets to see a complete show. This strategy is without a doubt the smartest way to work many events. You have enough material to do a really great job but your pockets aren’t filled to the brim and you don’t have to carry a case to the show. Each routine is independent so you can mix and match the routines to the audience in front of you, on the fly. The methods for the routines are in a word, easy. Bob has done most of the work for you. If the best method is a gaff, Bob uses a gaff. If the best method is a series of outs Bob shows you what to say and how to say it. Bob uses easy methods so you can concentrate on your performance! Even though the methods are easy the routines are foolers! Volume One:
Bunnies — It’s a classic, but Bob’s non-stop lines have the audience in stitches from start to finish. Bob teaches two handlings, one uses no sleight of hand at all! Intuition — This card routine is Sheets at his best. Members of the audience read each other’s minds and have no idea how they did it! Marked — Bob’s handling of a classic John Cornelius trick. It’s got it all.
Volume Two:
Triple Transpo — This routine is the classic Copper, Silver, Brass but Bob’s new handling has solved the problem of ringing the gaffed set in and out invisibly without going to your pockets. Gotcha — A diabolical multi-phase version of Triumph. Red Hot Mama — Bob’s taken Whit Haydn’s work into the stratosphere by developing a series of outs that let the spectators make all of the decisions, change their minds as much as they like, yet you still control the outcome!
Volume Three:
Three Ball Trick— Non-stop visuals and the best work on the methods for the classic three ball plot. Flash Deck — Instant mindreading! The deck does 95% of the work for you. Destined to become a classic. Six Tricks In Two Minutes —It’s more like 60 tricks in 2 minutes! The deck is gaffed and does the work for you.
Special price for all three DVDs.

Four new and original routines are included with the ProPick: A dollar bill penetration; a screwdriver through coat routine; a destroyed and restored handkerchief sequence and a very funny card trick!

Matrix - Mickael Chatelain
Mickael Chatelain’s latest, Matrix, will knock your socks off!
The effect is straightforward and visual. Using a single Bicycle card with four holes punched in it, you present the classic Matrix effect.
Under your control, the holes move around the card and finally gather in one spot. The card is then handed out for examination! Unbelievable, to say the least

Want to leave your audience shaken, but not stirred? Desirous of creating a “Bond” with them? Now, you can take your magic to the extreme with Chris Kenworthey’s Telethought Wallet.
Imagine a spectator is invited to think of any word, symbol, picture, number, etc. She writes it on a card. The card is inserted into a sleek, black wallet, face down. Nothing is ever added or taken away. And there are no moves! Remember, without any moves at all, without withdrawing anything from the wallet, one hundred percent of the spectator’s information is delivered secretly, ingeniously, and imperceptibly to the performer. The principle relies on state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology. (It literally is something “Q” would create for James Bond!)
The Gimmick:
The gimmick is in view throughout the entire performance, yet the audience doesn’t know it. It yields the complete information to the performer and yet is absolutely indetectable! Keep in mind there are no electronics, no impression devices, no flaps, no moves whatsoever and yet the performer gleans every one of the spectator’s thoughts every time - guaranteed!
The Telethought Wallet will fool you and everyone in the audience. It’s that good! Elicit the professional expertise of a leading, world class leather craftsman. Infuse the creative mind-bending sophistication for performing the impossible for which Chris Kenworthey is known. Complement all of this with the preeminent and extraordinary research of one of Fortune 500’s most advanced “think tanks” and the result is an effect that will leave your audience breathless, speechless, and clueless. This, dear friends, is the day the magic world will change ... forever.
The Telethought Wallet is inspiring to say the least! For those of you who truly desire iconic impact, your search is over.
Available in two sizes:
* Shirt Pocket (4.2” x 2.75”)
* Secretary Style (7” x 4”)
Throw out every peek wallet you own. They’re “old school.” Usher in a new generation of thought detection with the revolutionary Telethought Wallet. If you truly desire Extra Sensory Deception then the Telethought Wallet is for you.

RISE
Way back in the 1950’s there was a very clever card trick called FLIP. It used a deck with two sets of holes drilled through, one set on the top and one set on the bottom of the deck. A pencil was thrust into one of the sets of holes and, as the pencil was rotated, the selected card flipped out of the deck!
Turn the clock ahead a mere 58 years, and Dr. Schwartz has dramatically improved the original effect, now using only one set of holes and a completely different method!
The deck of cards with a hole running top to bottom through one side is handed to a spectator to shuffle.
A card is freely selected. No force of any kind.
Remove a pencil from your pocket and show how the pencil freely passes thru the hole in the selected card. Replace the selected card in the deck and give the deck a bunch of cuts.
Now, push the pencil through all the holes. The deck remains suspended from the pencil.
Command the selected card to rise from the deck. A quick upward motion and card has risen from the deck!
The deck and pencil can be handed out for immediate examination. They will find nothing!
The method for RISE is absolutely diabolical. A method that has never been used before! Really easy to do. You will love it!

Cookie’s Fortune – Paul Romhany & T.C. Tahoe
A modern and entertaining mentalism routine that will wow any audience!
Walk through the audience, having a few different spectators write numbers down on the back of your business card. Then, invite a spectator to join you on stage, hand her the card and ask her to add the numbers together.
Bring out a Chinese takeout box filled with Fortune Cookies. Two or three cookies are cracked open and the fortunes read aloud.
The fortunes are then placed into a plastic bag containing fortunes from all your past cookies. The box of cookies is placed in full view.
Another spectator reaches into the plastic bag and takes out one of the fortunes without revealing what it says.
Once these things are done you try unsuccessfully to read the spectators’ minds. Explain that it’s just one of those days, and you should have known it too, because you went out for Chinese food last night and your fortune cookie told you to beware of large crowds today. Always listen to your Fortune Cookie.
A spectator is given a free choice of any of the other fortune cookies and asked to hold onto it. (note: these are real cookies sealed in their own individual plastic wrapping)
Finally, the spectator cracks open the cookie and the saying on the cookie matches the chosen fortune! Plus, the ‘lucky number’ on the reverse side matches the total of the audience chosen numbers!
An amazing routine that includes:
* Bag of Real Fortune Cookies (real cookies)
* Bag of Gimmicked Fortune Cookies (also real cookies)
* Takeout boxes
* Special gimmicked force bag
* Detailed instructions
Note: This item may only be sold at retail and cannot be included in any sales event.
