FREE FORMATION by CHRISTOPHER KENWORTHY
This is the best version of the signed, torn and restored one-piece-at-a-time
routine! If you've dreamed of performing Hollingsworth’s version, or weren't
satisfied with Reparation or Hoodwink, then Free Formation might be just the
routine for you. In the effect a playing card is FREELY named. The card is
removed from the deck, signed by the spectator, and then torn into four pieces.
The performer then visually restores the card, one piece at a time! The restored
card is given to the spectator to keep.
Free Formation is a 24 page, photo-illustrated routine from Christopher
Kenworthy of Australia.
HUGARD'S MAGIC MANUAL by JEAN HUGARD
A vaudeville favorite for 35 years, Jean Hugard-born John Gerard Rodney Boyce (1873-1959)-was not only a stunning success as a stage magician but was also one of the most prolific and illuminating of writers about magic. In this classic manual-the first he wrote for people outside the inner circle of magic performers-he reveals the secrets of a host of mystifying tricks.
In "The Lemon and Note Trick," three dollar bills disappear from the handkerchief they were wrapped in and turn up in the middle of a lemon when it is sliced in half. In "The Miser's Dream," the magician manages to pluck eight coins from the open air or from spectators' ears, hair, or collars. And in "The Watch in the Loaf of Bread," the magician "inadvertently" smashes the watch he borrowed from a spectator-but then discovers it, intact and still ticking, inside a fresh-baked loaf. Other mind-boggling feats the reader will learn to master are swallowing a watch, transforming a cigarette into a silk handkerchief, producing bouquets of real flowers from a borrowed hat and distributing them to the spectators-and even pulling a live rabbit (or guinea pig) out of a hat. Clear, comprehensive, and enhanced with 240 detailed diagrams and illustrations, this indispensable resource belongs in the library of every would-be magician or magic lover.
Dover (2001) unabridged republication of Modern Magic Manual, originally published by Harper & Brothers, New York, 1939. 240 black-and-white illustrations. Introduction. Index. 345pp. 51/2 x 81/2 inches. Paperbound.
ITEM # BK1058 PRICE $13.00
Signed Bill to 'Tic Tac' box! + 3 mind blowing bonus effects! An incredibly clean signed bill to ‘Tic Tac’ box.
In this effect a bill is borrowed and signed by the spectator. The performer then completely vanishes the bill. The performer then points out a tin of mints that has been in view throughout. The spectator tips out the contents. Inside is a box of ‘Tic Tac’ breath mints but instead of mints a folded bill can be clearly seen. The lid is popped off the box and the bill is tipped out onto the spectators hand. They actually see it come from the box which is now genuinely empty. The bill is unfolded and sure enough, it bears the spectators signature!
Can also be performed with playing cards, business cards, billets etc. The possibilities for this amazing utility gimmick are endless!
ALSO INCLUDES 3 AWESOME BONUS EFFECTS!
BONUS 1: Cards Gone Wild - An incredible packet effect that YOU WILL USE! Two spectators each choose one of the four Aces. In an instant, all the Aces change into the first selection with the exception of one which is face down. This card is revealed to be the second selection!
BONUS 2: Twisted Limo Service - The four Jacks are removed from the deck then two cards are selected - one is sealed in the card case the other is lost in the deck. The four Jacks now magically turn face down, one at a time before suddenly transforming into a single card! It’s the selection that was in the card case! The case is opened and inside we find the four Jacks with the second selection face down in between them!
BONUS 3: Hard Knocks - Two cards are selected and signed on the back before being lost back into the deck. With a snap, the deck is spread and both selections are seen to be reversed! Each spectator holds onto their respective selection. Another snap and the signatures on the back transpose! This could be the most direct method EVER conceived for this type of effect!
