✏️ Need To:
- Write Ideas For New Tricks?
- Jot Down Those Lecture Effects?
- Make A List For This Weeks Supermarket Shop?

Wonder What Book Would Make This An Exciting Prospect….!

A beautiful reproduction of the original The Expert at the Card Table Book. On the outside, it's a perfect facsimile, however, leaf through the pages and you'll discover an empty canvas for new ideas. This isn't just another edition, but as John Lovick writes, "a journal in which to coalesce your card-centric thoughts."

Although you won't find a description for the Bottom Deal, or the S.W.E. Shift, as all the text has been removed, the publisher has left all 101 drawings by M.D. Smith in their respective positions. Some might say this will get in the way, but we think it's a simple reminder of what this journal is for. Although if you have kids, it makes for the greatest coloring book ever! Erdnase aficionado's will be delighted with this new homage to The Expert at the Card Table and be eager to fill its pages with everything from annotations to new ideas.

Pages Approximately: 204 - Blank - Hardcover - 5.5" x 8" - 101 black and white illustrations

The Coaster, a practical on-the-go accessory for coin through glass effect.

Pe*******on, the seamless passage of one solid object through another, ranks among magicians' most cherished magic effects. Within the realm of Pe*******on effects, the Coin Through Cup, owing to its use of everyday items, has secured a special place in magicians' hearts.

Although numerous ideas exist for this effect, concealing the gimmick within a coaster stands out as a popular solution. However, many coasters available might raise audience suspicions due to their unusual appearance, excessive sleight of hand, or the presence of peculiar bulges.

Hence, we've collaborated with Terry Chou to introduce an everyday carry coaster prop - The Coaster.

As shown in the trailer, this ordinary coaster can facilitate the illusion of coins penetrating through its surface and ending up in a cup. Its appearance integrates seamlessly into everyday scenarios.

In the tutorial, there are two routines included, one from Terry and one from Jay. Therefore, you can perform the Coin Through Cup effect regardless of your skill level.

Features:
Portable and convenient
Easy to set and perform
Coaster can be examined
No peculiar bulges, electronics, or mechanical structures
Made from black walnut
Coin Requirement: Please be aware that the Coaster does not come with the coins needed. To perform the effects shown in the video, you will require either one gimmicked magnetic coin (like a magnetic half dollar) or several regular ferrous coins (coins that are attracted to magnets) (British 10 Pence coins are recommended).

If you use ordinary ferrous coins, please note that they will only stick to the suede side of The Coaster. In contrast, gimmicked magnetic coins can be attracted to both the leather and suede sides of The Coaster.

Grandmother's Necklace is a classic magic trick that has fascinated audiences for over 400 years, dating back to the Middle Ages.

The magician presents two ropes and three beads, inviting the audience to thread the ropes through the beads. The audience holds the beads, the magician ties the ropes on the back of their hand, and the ropes pass through the audience's hand amazingly, leaving the beads in their palm.There is no magic more captivating to an audience than magic that happens in their own hands.

In this version, we use highly transparent crystal beads instead of traditional opaque beads. The transparent beads allow the audience to see every detail of the ropes threaded through them, making the trick more convincing and deceptive. The ropes are also made more durable by using the hoodie rope and improved gimmick. Additionally, it requires almost no sleight-of-hand, allowing you to focus on your performance and presentation.

Features
Transparent beads for a clear and more deceptive display
Durable gimmicked hoodie ropes
Easy to carry and perform
Notes: Please note that the transparent beads are made of high-transparency synthetic acrylic and produced in large batches at the factory. Due to the production process, they may have injection marks, splicing lines, or minor scratches or bumps, as shown in the trailer and photos. They are common and do not affect the overall shape or performance. We want to ensure that you are aware of it before making a purchase.

Basic Effect

Imagine this: an ordinary ring softens at your touch, melts into a pool of liquid metal. But with a swirl of your finger, the liquid visually regains its solidity. And just like the now rigid ring, your spectators are warped back into solid reality.

Liquify is more than just a trick - it's an illusion that defies the laws of physics. Imagined by one of the world's most prolific and innovative creators, Tobias Dostal blends artistic and creative brilliance to craft an original and never-before-seen illusion.

What to expect:
Contains an expansive set that includes 8 color gimmicks and 5 colored rings for nearly limitless applications
Precision-crafted gimmicks - the culmination of 4 years of rigorous testing and R&D, yielding the most impossible version to date!
Versatile routines capable of adapting to fit in a sea of various performance styles
Easy to learn - a beginner could start performing the basic effect within 10 mins.
Welcome to the extraordinary world of Tobias Dostal - where states of matter blend at your will, and reality merges with your imagination. Welcome to Liquify.

Basic Effect

You start by putting a playing card in your hand and flicking it from a distance with just your finger. Next, you place a pair of glasses on the table and, with your hands beside them, they suddenly spring up. Finally, you ask an audience member to put a potato chip in their hand, and using telekinesis, you crush it from a distance.

About Props

The props we include, with their size, as well as their color, appear the most invisible. We tried many different materials and are confident they are the best props for this trick.

New Method

In the past, telekinetic effects mainly relied on threads or magnets for object manipulation. However, neither method could achieve the distant crushing of a potato chip. Crazy Sam's Mind now offers fresh avenues for these effects, sure to delight telekinetic enthusiasts.

It's A System

This trick isn't just one effect: it's an invisible force applicable to many magic tricks. It lets you instantly create an unseen impact in the air. Sam will guide you through this system from basics to advanced techniques, including various applications like transforming and making items disappear. The possibilities are endless!

Features
Quick setup.
Potato chips are edible.
Audience will be amazed by you.
No worries about lighting conditions.
What you see on the trailer is how it looks live.
Product includes instructions and necessary props.

This project is the encyclopedia of Cube Solves by one of the most talked-about magicians, Sam Huang (creator of Crazy Sam's Handcuff, Crazy Sam's Finger Ring). In this project, you will learn all of his incredible breakthroughs in instant cube solve. It looks unbelievably like CGI special effects (you have to check out the trailer to believe it!).

We're SO excited about this release from Luke Jermay!
Learn more here: https://loom.ly/WCu5EOY

"Illumination" is one of Jermay's most prized possessions. While you may be tempted to call it a book test, it is so much more. Honed over 1,000s of performances, this surefire 15-minute workhouse routine can be inserted right into any working set.

While many modern book tests have become engrossed with the idea of seeing how many methods can be jammed into a single book, "Illumination" goes in the opposite direction. By combining a few methods, you can seemingly reveal words, stories, and even the spectator's thoughts and emotions!
