Mentalism with a visual twist
You introduce several antique photographs collected from around the world. A spectator is invited to freely select one to focus upon. After a moment of concentration you begin to zero in on the spectator's thoughts and reveal the selected photograph. However, in a strange climax, you leave the spectator wondering if they imagined it all when the chosen photograph is turned over to reveal a completely blurred image.
Complete with everything needed to perform
Spectator has a totally free choice.

"TRANSFORMER is outstanding....a terrifically clean, direct routine!" - Peter Duffie
"TRIO is great man! I LOVE the card to wallet. So, freakin' well thought out. The vanish is PERFECT!!" - Cameron Francis
DAVE FORREST PRESENTS THREE STUNNING CARD EFFECTS WITH ONE THING IN COMMON - A SIMPLE GAFF CARD!
EFFECT 1 - 'SHRINK' - A HYPER VISUAL SANDWICH EFFECT.
An incredibly visual sandwich effectwith a stunning climax that will guarantee you are remembered. A selected card is continuously discovered in between the two Jokers, each time more impossible than the last. Eventually, you confess to the method - you are actually making the card too small to be seen! With that you shrink the selection to half it's size! This is a stunner!
EFFECT 2 - 'TRANSFORMER' - A MULTIPLE SELECTION ROUTINE
Three cards are selected and lost back into the pack. The Jokers impossibly trap the first selection, let's say it's a Seven. Six cards are counted off the top of the deck and the seventh card is shown to be the second selection! Attention is now drawn back to the Seven, in between the two Jokers - it has transformed into the third selection! A real commercial stunner - perfect for table hopping!
EFFECT 3 - 'FLIGHT' - A 'TEST CONDITIONS' CARD TO WALLET
A card is selected. The spectator signs the face and the back is marked with a large 'X'. The signed card is placed in between two Jokers and the three card packet is left outjogged from the centre of the deck - the spectator can still see the selected card at this point. With a snap of your fingers the deck is spread and there is now NOTHING in between the Jokers - the signed selection has completely vanished! You reach into your back pocket - that you have been nowhere near the entire time - inside your regular, everyday wallet is the signed card!

The Red Carpet is entertaining mentalism with an ending that is so startling and funny, it is sure to bring the house down!
Originally presented in its debut performance in 1985, the routine caused such magic notables as Sid Lorraine, Howard Lyons, Norm Houghton and Bruce Posgate to give a standing ovation! This closely guarded routine is now being released to the public for the first time.
Effect
We are a society that is obsessed with celebrities and famous people. Their sometimes fairy-tale stories are published all over, and many of us seem drawn to these reports. Everywhere we turn there is some story about someone famous doing something! You display a large sketch book of celebrity and character illustrations drawn by your friend. No, your friend is not a stalker—just an admirer of the rich and famous! The book contains 40 different images of famous people and personalities.
An audience member is brought on stage and allowed to randomly select one of the images from the book. The spectator mentally focuses on their chosen icon. Then, while you are blindfolded by the "Red Carpet" (actually a red fabric bag that covers your head to prohibit any peeking!), you actually fail to find the name. After what appears to be a botched attempt at entertaining and mystifying the crowd with an experiment in telepathy, you whip off the hood to reveal you have now transformed into the exact likeness of the chosen celebrity. A hilarious smash climax that will bring the audience to their feet!
Please Note: The 39 royalty-free images in the book were chosen so that they would be recognized by almost anyone from around the world. Here is just a sampling of SOME of the celebrities that you will find in the book: Albert Einstein, Queen Elizabeth, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Arnold Schwarchenegger, Superman, Mickey Mouse, Darth Vader, Bruce Lee, John Lennon, Nelson Mandela, Madonna, Princess Diana, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Tom Cruise and Gandhi. In addition, you can be rest assured that an audience of any age will have no doubt in their mind not only who the revealed icon is, but also that you look exactly like them when the red fabric bag is removed.
The Red Carpet is simple to learn, and is easy to perform. It is a hysterical and astounding commercial mentalism effect that is perfect for all professionals and hobbyists and the routine has been honed through countless live performances. This is a fresh and brand new approach to mentalism, and the eye-popping routine will play to audiences of all sizes.
The Red Carpet comes complete with everything you need to perform the full routine, including all props (This includes a sketchbook with custom, hand-drawn, ROYALTY-FREE celebrity and character images.), gimmicks, the detailed 8 minute audience-tested comedy script, a performance DVD, and live and broadcast performance rights.
Each trick is hand signed, numbered and comes in an authentic metal film-reel canister from the movies!
"I love this! I've never thought of performing mentalism until I saw The Red Carpet...Genius!"
-Jeff Hobson

Yet, you put together the blank face and the blank back card together, the selected card is back to normal, and the other card is a double blank card. Give it all for examination if you wish. You are set and ready to do the trick again.

"The slickest, most magical version of the 'coin through glass table' plot available to date, hands down."
– Shane, Online-Visions.com
Borrow a coin, have it marked, and drop it somewhere near the center of an unprepared glass table. Show both hands cleanly and clearly empty. Press on the coin and it visibly passes through the table and into your waiting hand below. One second it's above the glass, the next it just drops right through. You can hand the coin (and table!) out for examination, they will find nothing.
It's that simple. The way real magic should be: Quick, visual, hard-hitting, high-impact, and utterly impossible; leaving the spectators with no hope of ever figuring it out.
"If you could actually push metal though glass...this is what it would look like."
– Steve Fearson
Works on any unprepared glass surface. Use any coin. No magnets. No "jewelry" required. Resets instantly. No funny moves - Just push and it's through. The special gimmick makes it all extremely visual and super easy to do.
"The effect is very visual."
– Danny Archer
If you do close up magic of any kind, then Numismatic belongs in your arsenal. Everything in the description is absolutely true. Tim David has come up with an ingenious method that fools people even if they're "in the know".
"Beautiful! I have no clue..."
– Nathan Kranzo
You get the gimmick and a full-length, professionally produced DVD that clearly explains every tiny detail of the effect.

Magicians who specialize in close-up magic are constantly in search of material that doesn't use playing cards. Easily seventy-five percent of the magic that's been published over the last 50 or 60 years has been card magic of one kind or another so quality non-card material is a relatively scarce commodity in the literature.
On this DVD, you'll meet seven different performers presenting and teaching powerful close-up routines that will wow any audience – and there's not a playing card in sight! The legendary Bruce Cervon starts off with a beautifully routined piece of magic where a borrowed handkerchief is clearly seen to be burned, magically repaired and then used for a stunning production. Glen Falkenstein, of the famed mentalism team of Falkenstein & Willard, combines two simple and well-known dealer items to create a beautiful hybrid of magic while Michael Ammar gives you all of the work on Stefan Schutzer's wonderful animated bill effect. Bob Read is next with a hilarious routine that will make you sorry you laughed so hard because you will be badly fooled by the trick's end. Mark Leveridge offers an elegant and very magical coin box routine while Flip brings the mystery of the classic linking rings to a few safety pins. Finally, Bill Malone performs and teaches a wonderful (and wonderfully portable!) Cups and Balls routine that will charm young and old alike.
It's been said that even the world's largest and most spectacular stage illusion cannot create the impact – that feeling of pure astonishment – of a good, well-performed piece of close-up magic and on this DVD, you'll find seven compelling pieces of evidence to that effect.
Hanky Panky – Bruce Cervon
A Ball and a Tube – Falkenstein & Willard
Self-Folding Bill – Michael Ammar
Transpo Tumbler – Bob Read

Have you ever looked at the joker in a Bicycle deck? I mean really looked -close enough to see that the royal figure out for a ride isn’t just any royal figure; he’s the King of Spades.
Based on this observation, the effect of Bikers is crystal clear and progressively more amazing. Four jokers are slowly displayed, and then, one after the other, three of them "get off their bikes," transforming into kings as the cards are openly spread between the magician’s hands. As a climax, the last change occurs in the spectator’s hand, leaving a fully examinable card.
Legitimately using only four cards, the method allows each card to be shown front and back, and requires only basic sleight-of-hand.
Finally, like everything from Gordon Bean -including his last release, the best-selling Entourage- this is designed for the real world, not just a static video camera. No table is needed, no cards are stuck together, and the reset is automatic. As a bonus, there are multiple handlings for finishing with four examinable cards.
"Bikers is stark and clean and super-streamlined, without a solitary false or gratuitous move. A perfect trick. Just a delight to perform with an effect to match."
- J.K. Hartman.
Also included is Gordon’s last-minute creation Seven Kings, an eye-popping transposition between kings and jokers that ends with four examinable kings on the spectator's palm. Fully described in a special insert, Seven Kings is tailored for the walk-around performer, combining high impact with total reliability and instant reset. It also has the advantage of requiring no false counts, and only a bare minimum of card handling ability.
Comes complete with 10 page, photo-illustrated instruction booklet and all necessary cards custom printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company. (Cards comprising a standard Wild Card set are included.)
In addition to the traditional symbols, each card is printed with a subtly marked back, allowing for demonstrations of super-human, extra-sensory power demonstrations. Instructions with several routines are included. Blue Bicycle backs only.
Five cards are shown to your audience. They represent your poker hand - and a poor one, at that. With a deft turn of the wrist and a snap of the fingers, the mis-matched cards instantly and visibly change into the winning hand - a Royal Flush in spades!
Easy to do, no sleights required. A very clean, direct effect from FISM card champion Boris Wild. Included is a DVD with step-by-step instructions from Boris himself, and all the necessary cards printed on Bicycle stock from the U.S. Playing Card Company.
