TED LESLEY
A living legend of magic finally shares his very best...with you!
For the first time ever on video, here's your chance to see Germany's legendary
master of magic and mentalism, Ted Lesley, mesmerize a studio audience with his
"paramiracles." Then, go behind the scenes and learn the real secrets
as Ted, along with well-known magic consultant Charles Reynolds, explains
everything you need to know in minute detail.
This is the material that has made Ted Lesley a legend in two arenas of the
conjuring arts, and now it can be yours!
VOLUME #1 CABARET
MINDREADING
- Ace Duet - A deck is freely shuffled a number of times by a
spectator yet the Aces are found - all without the performer even touching
the deck!
- The Spectator as Mindreader - A baffling effect that finds the
spectator locating the card the performer merely thought of.
- The Working Performer's Card Stab - A card is signed on its back
and shuffled into the pack. The cards are scattered face up as the performer
thrusts a dagger through one-which is found to be the one previously
selected and signed.
- Tossed-Out Deck - Wonderful touches on David Hoy's mentalism
classic. Five spectators merely peek at a card yet the performer flawlessly
names them all.
- Black Magic III - A great Bank Night effect as a spectator
successfully finds a drawing placed into an envelope and mixed with three
others. Unfortunately, she manages to miss out on the currency contained in
the others!
- Booktest - The performer divines a word freely selected from an
ordinary paperback book. Even more amazingly, the performer then correctly
identifies a word the spectator draws out of thin air.
- Pro-monition - A spectator is asked to think of a card, which is
found to be the only one missing from the deck. The performer then has a
spectator remove the selected card from his pocket.
- Center Tear - Great work on one of mentalism's most powerful tools.
Mastery of this technique will give you the ability to read minds any time,
any place.
- Teleportation - A page is selected from a book by one spectator
while an empty envelope is given to another. On the performer's command, a
piece of the selected page vanishes and is found in the envelope. When
compared, the piece fits exactly!
- Decisions! Decisions! - A powerful version of the classic
"Stop!" trick. The performer selects a card and places it into an
envelope. Cards are then dealt fairly from another deck until a spectator
calls 'stop.' Though it's a completely fair choice, the designated card is
found to match the one in the envelope.
- Super Force - Through the performer's apparent mental powers, one
spectator locates another spectator's chosen card under impossible
conditions.
- Bending Wine Glass - Forget spoons! The performer causes a wine
glass to visibly bend at the stem though he is nowhere near it. What's more,
he also causes two other glasses to bend-while spectators are holding them!

VOLUME #2 CABARET MAGIC
- Six Card Repeat - An ultra-easy version of this magical classic
with a surprise ending guaranteed to fool even those in the know!
- Borrowed Bill in Borrowed Cigarette - One half of a borrowed bill
is discovered in a truly impossible place - inside a cigarette that was also
borrowed!
- Comedy Rope Trick - The Professor's Nightmare turned on its head! A
length of rope is clearly cut into three equal pieces yet the pieces are
shown to be three different lengths. They become equal yet again and one
piece is thrown into the audience. The other two are tied together and then
instantly restored into a single length - which may be examined!
- Comedy Mindreading - Three playing cards are selected and, after
several vain but amusing attempts to find them, the performer finally
locates each in increasingly amazing and impossible ways.
- The Fastest Card Trick in the World - Don't blink as a signed
playing card and a borrowed credit card make an impossible journey.
- Coin Through Sleeves - A most-magical version of the classic Winged
Silver as a coin mysteriously travels from one hand, up the performer's
sleeve, across his shoulders and into a glass held in the other hand. As a
finale, the performer explains the process-using milk!
- Bill in Light Bulb - A borrowed bill is torn in half. One half is
vanished and travels into the most unlikely of places-the center of an
ordinary light bulb that was burning brightly just moments before!
- Bill in Lemon - If you think you know this one, you haven't seen
the Lesley version. Again, one half of a borrowed bill vanishes from an
envelope held by a spectator and is found inside a lemon that was in plain
sight throughout.
