Bite Out Quarter

Thurston Magic presents "Bite-Off Quarter." A routine that showcases a magician bites off a piece of a US Quarter and restores it! As seen on TV!

Ash Pen Pro

Upon meeting a spectator, the performer asks the spectator to write their name on a file card. The file card is burned with a lighter and allowed to burn to ashes in an ashtray. The performer gathers a handful of these ashes and rubs them into his forearm. As the ashes spread over the performer’s arm, the name of the spectator is revealed!!!

This special pen will allow you to perform the "ashes on arm" effect not only with great ease, but almost impromptu. In addition, it will open the doors to a wider range of presentational approaches.

This method is more simple and practical than any other method previously devised. The special pen will produce sharper and clearer messages on your arm or the back of your hand. In addition, you will now be able to make a message appear on a spectator’s arm, without the aid of a stooge.

Odd Quad by Fooler Doolers

A triple climax routine with a Technicolor finish!

Effect: Four aces are shown and one is selected by a spectator. The chosen ace is shown to be "odd" because it's the only RED backed card in the BLUE backed packet! A different ace is chosen and this second selection now becomes the new "odd" card because it's the only BLUE backed card backed card in the RED backed packet! The first "odd" card has a red back and the second "odd" card has a blue back. The two remaining cards also prove to be "odd" because their backs are YELLOW and GREEN! All four Aces have different colored backs! Everything can be examined and you are instantly reset.

Odd Quad comes complete with FIVE poker sized cards printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company (the extra card is for a more advanced handling), detailed written instructions including an advanced handling), full-color packaging and a performance/explanation DVD which includes a live performance at the Magic Castle. Wow! That's a lot of value for only $12.95!


   

Magic Trick Exposed

One of the best ways to expose a magic trick is to read about how it's done. Anyone interested in learning the craft of magic should do as much reading as possible. So for this page, magic trick exposed, we've decided to list several great books that will help you to build a better understanding of the inner workings of magic tricks while still teaching you exactly how to do a variety of specific tricks.

Here are a few books that expose the workings behind individual magic tricks. These should definitely be in your magic library ...

Repertoire Vol. 1 by Ben Williams - This is the first installment of my repertoire series. Repertoire is exactly what it sounds like, my working repertoire. These are the effects I use all the time, they are practical and have a great impact on the spectators.

Here is a list of effects and descriptions: Heartless - The pips from a selected card appear in a burst of flames, leaving the spectators card heartless.

D.B.I.B. - This is an invisible/brainwave type effect in which any named card is shown to have a different coloured back to the rest of the deck. No Rough and Smooth.

Imitate 1.0 - 1.2 - 1.3 - These are a selection of transposition effects between a coin and a piece of a spectator's selected card.

Your Card My Mouth - My take on the card to mouth plot with a twist. With built in misdirection for the load making it w winner for every situation.

Steal - This is my handling on an old use of a card box. Allowing for an extremely fair selection and shuffling process where the spectator does 99% of the handling of the cards and an equally fair replacement into the card box yet at any moment you can steal the card into your possesion, this opens up the doors for some iron clad test conditions handlings with maximum magic effect as a payoff.

i dub thee - This is one of the best mentalism effects I perform with cards. A specator writes down the name of someone close to them and someone else selects a card. Inside your wallet you have an envelope, inside that is a single playing card with a different back design to the deck you are working with. It is the spectator's selected card, on the back of the card there is a name written, the freely thought of name.

I Dub Thee Mental - This is my handling for I Dub Thee that doesn't require a deck of playing cards, this is a routine of principles that culminates in a prediction being found in your wallet with a freely chosen item and name predicted. I have lots of ideas to make this a truely memorable and AMAZINGLY ACCURATE predcition.

Watch My Predictions - In this routine you manage to predict a spectator's selection and to prove it you show you had a corner from a duplicate selection taped to the back of your watch-face. When asked if you can repeat this feat a second selection is selected and again you prove it to be taped to the back of your watch-face. Of course this is 100% examinable the tape won't peel off.

Your Card - This effect is as direct as it is amazing for lay people. It is a commercial piece of magic that is perfect for customizing to any situation. A selected card is signed and replaced in the centre of the deck. Some words are written on a piece of paper which is lit and bursts into flames. The deck is spread and one card has changed colour and has the same words written across its back in big black letters. It is turned over and it is the signed card.

Chain 1.0 - 1.2 - This is a signed linking card effect. Two cards are selected and signed, these can be free selections. These have the centres torn from them and they are linked together. This isn't an illusion of a link, they are linked like a chainlink. These are unlinked and the card rings can be handed out and inspected or even kept by the spectator. Chain 1.2 is the same effects but the signatures on both cards are seen before, during and after the effect occurs.

These are direct routines that you don't need to be a master card worker to pull off, but they are strong routines in any laypersons eyes.
