STRIKING MATCH by DAN HARLAN

strikingmatch.jpg (11240 bytes)

The performer hands a deck to the spectator and asks him to shuffle it. He then displays a folded jumbo card. He says that this card is the prediction of the card the spectator will choose. He then asks the spectator to place any card he chooses from the deck on top of the jumbo folded card, face down. He proceeds to turn the cards over that the spectator chooses and places them on the table, face-up.

The performer asks the spectator to continue this procedure and to say stop when he is done choosing cards. As soon as the spectator says stop, the performer flips over the chosen card. The performer then displays the face of the jumbo card to show that it matches the spectator's chosen card. Believe it or not there is no force in this effect.

It is one of the most fantastic new ideas ever for the matching of a selected card. The price is right and you will do it all the time.

FENIK'S THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION WITH GORDON BEAN'S JAYWALK

Whether in his native country or during his many engagements at Caesar's Magical Empire in Las Vegas or at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, Fenik has long been perplexing some of magic's top names with his Mexican Revolution routine.
The effect is straightforward and eye-poppingly visual: four jacks turn face down one at a time, then turn back face up, and finally have their backs change from blue to red. Its highly ingenious method reduces sleights to an absolute minimum, but it's so much fun to watch you'll want to stay in front of the mirror doing it again and again!

With the U.S. Playing Card Co. having done a brilliant job of producing the necessary cards, The Mexican Revolution was first released by Gordon Bean and Larry Horowitz's company MagicLab at the Magic Castle swap meet in the spring of 2002, and instantly proved to be a big hit. Fenik then came up with a brilliant streamlining of his original handing that, in turn, led Gordon to come up with Jaywalk, which turned the effect of the original inside out. This time, after turning face up then face down, the cards change from jokers to jacks!

Considering that Jaywalk was the quintessential dealer's ad boasting three distinct phases of visual magic, no sleights required, only four cards used, fronts and backs of all cards in view, no glue, no wax, no double cards-the decision was made to put The Mexican Revolution on hold after its one day of release and wait for the necessary new cards to be printed.

So now, for the same price, you get both The Mexican Revolution and Jaywalk plus a whole new world of experimentation. After this revolution, twisting effects will never be the same!

THE BARCELONA SWINDLE by JAHN GALLO

The Barcelona Swindle is Jahn Gallo's personalized McDonald's Aces routine for the stage! The McDonald's Aces has been around since the days of Hofzinser, the father of modern card magic (credited as the inventor of double-face cards). All the elements of the routine appear in Ottokar Fischer's 1910 collection of Hofzinser's work.

J. N. Hofzinser, Theodore Deland, Larry Pringle, Jon W. "Mac" One-Arm McDonald, Dai Vernon, Ken Krenzel and many other magicians around the world have created their own versions of this concept. Now, Jahn Gallo offers his personalized multi-phased routine for the stage! Watch your audience's eyes bulge as the four aces miraculously vanish from where they once were, only to travel mysteriously to the fourth and final pile (previously shown as indifferent cards)!

The Barcelona Swindle comes to you with the very special Anglo Giant Cards, which, although smaller in size to accommodate ease of handling, sport pips that are larger than normal jumbo cards' indexes! You also receive a special CD-ROM that takes you through all the ins and outs of performing this routine. On the CD-ROM, you will see videos of both the performance and explanation, enabling you to perform this routine in no time!
Includes Anglo Cards (5" x 3 1/2") and CD-Rom with video in ".wmv" format*

* May require installation of Windows Media Player- especially on "Mac" computers. CD-Rom not playable in standard DVD player.

REVELATION

This is a crowd pleaser from England with an instructional DVD included. It is brilliant card magic of Wayne Dobson. A packet of 9 cards is placed on the table. Ask a spectator to THINK of ANY card in a deck (no force of any kind). The small packet of cards are turned over one at a time. Each card reveals a different gag, as you ask different questions. Was your card the 15 of Diamonds, how about the 14 of Spades, was it a Credit Card, a Bingo Card, this card (card has THIS printed on it), Phone Card, etc. finally the last card says your card is in my Pocket.

You reach into your pocket and remove your own business card as you say “This is my card, but I am sure you will want to keep it when I tell you are thinking of” you name the card they are thinking of. Sounds impossible but its not, you really name their thought of card!

Comes complete with 9 specially printed bicycle cards that do all the work for you, also features extra handlings and bonus handling tips on the INCLUDED Instructional DVD!

TRICKY BUSINESS

From the creator of the smash hits "Out-cased" and "Exit", comes "Tricky Business"- Peter Eggink's best kept secret in commercial card magic!

In this effect a spectator freely selects a card (NO force), and signs it across the face. The card is then shuffled back into the pack. Next, the magician introduces some business/address stickers, and explains that these stickers have actually a mind of their "own". One sticker is placed on the back of an indifferent card. Magically the sticker starts to "jump" onto random cards in the pack. Finally, the sticker vanishes in a visual and magical manner.

The magician explains that the sticker will magically "find" the spectator selection. As the magician says so, he spreads the deck and the sticker arrived -NOT on the back- but on the FACE of the spectator’s selection, right across their signature! Of course the spectator can keep the card as an amazing unique souvenir!

Tricky Business is visually stunning and HIGHLY commercial, which will create some long lasting memories. PERFECT for corporate events and Trade shows! Tricky Business is THE way to hand out your, or a company’s "business card".

Key points to keep in mind...

The effect comes complete with a special gimmick on Bicycle stock and a full color, photo-illustrated instruction sheet.

Use your own deck of cards and stickers. The more creative you are, the more effects you are able to create using this clever "message applying system"!
