The eight effects in the collection feature something for everyone. Some use a table, others are for standup; some are short routines, while others run to several minutes; some are very simple, while others will require more practice. But each and every routine is clean, clear and very deceptive.
LEVIATHAN is a full-deck false shuffle, which perfectly mimics a casual in-the-hands riffle.
Evolving from a series of false table shuffles The Mav has previously published, this off the table handling is even more practical and deceptive.
LEVIATHAN contains 15-minutes of in-depth teaching, breaking the move down into it’s simplest components, before bringing everything back together and teaching multiple variant handlings. As a bonus, Ross includes a highly deceptive false overhand shuffle, which he frequently uses in combination with LEVIATHAN, and which has fooled the most knowledgable cardmen in London.
“I now know that Celebrity Smart Ass is the reason I created the Smart Ass concept in the first place. It’s a perfect marriage of bulletproof method and commercial presentation. AND it’s no longer a card trick anymore! Celebrity Smart Ass a permanent piece in my show…and now it can be for you too!”
– Bill Abbott
Routine:
The topic of celebrities and our endless fascination with them is introduced. You proceed to conduct a test of the audience’s celebrity knowledge by using cards with first names on them. Going through the dozens of cards you call out each celebrity first name and the audience calls out the celebrity’s last name. For example you say, “Paris!” the audience says, “Hilton!”, you say “Tiger!” they say, “Woods!”, you say “Britney”, they say, “Spears!” etc. To take the test to the next level you ask for the help of a celebrity expert from the audience. Someone with almost intuitive or psychic ability in their mastery of celebrity identification. A volunteer is invited on stage, shown a large envelope, is offered a chair and asked to sit down on the envelope. Now using the volunteer’s “celebrity intuition” with the help of their “psychic derriere” they will attempt to deduce the mystery celebrity whose photo resides in the envelope they are now sitting on. The spectator is handed the pack of celebrity names and is instructed to take about half in each hand. They are asked to toss one half away and keep the other. After they do this they cut the remaining names into two piles, holding one in each hand and they once again toss one pile away and keep the other. Down to the last few names, the participant chooses one, having the opportunity to change their mind as many times as they like. Their final choice is revealed and it’s “Tom” for Tom Cruise. The spectator stands and hands you the envelope. Unbelievably they have found the needle in the haystack, as you pull out a photo of Tom Cruise…at the age of six months! A photo of a cute baby is revealed and the volunteer goes back to their seat to some polite applause and a lot of laughter! You unfold the photo explaining that the you hope that no one is easily offended as Tom Cruise is naked in this photo, and the baby is in fact, in the buff, when the photo is opened! You then ask the audience if they think that Mr. Cruise looks cuter as a baby, then he does now as an adult? Suddenly you turn the large tabloid-size photo over to reveal a very large (grown up) head shot of…Tom Cruise!
What happens when a genius like Woody Aragon puts his attention on a principle as powerful as the Si Stebbins stack? The answer: Magic.
This is a must-have series for anyone interested in strong, entertaining and impossible card magic, regardless of whether you’re familiar with the stack or not.

Andrew Mayne presents an incredible visual close-up illusion that can be performed anytime using two borrowed bills.
Phase One:
The magician borrows two bills from a spectator. The bills are folded, and one bill is placed inside of the other. The bills are then caused to visually pass through one another.
Phase Two:
One bill is placed on top of the other bill. The bill on the bottom jumps to the middle of the folded bill on top.
Phase Three:
The spectator holds on to the ends of a folded bill, with the other bill cradled inside. The magician pulls the bill through the spectator’s bill, just inches in front of their eyes.
Make money magically multiple before your eyes!
Supplies
A small black case holds your money paddle and features a small compartment holding your supplied bands. You will also need a bill of any value and 6 coins: 2 pennies, 2 nickels, and 2 dimes.
Setup
Take a bill of any denomination and fold it in half back against itself, then fold it in half from side to side. Once more fold in half from side to side and press it flat along the folds. Place this bill on the paddle covering the mirrors, and then slip three of the special bands supplied into position. Next, on top of the bill, position the penny under the band farthest from the handle, then the nickel under the center band, and the dime under the band closest to the handle. Note: The remaining 3 coins are in your pocket.
By CJ Hernandez, this is a self-folding bill using no thread and no gimmicked bill. Everything is borrowed and examinable before and after. Takes the self-folding bill to a whole new level. Imagine having the ability to borrow a bill and start making it fold up on its own as if you command psychic control over it. You don’t have to worry about delicate thread-work as there is none. You just take it, make it fold on its own, and hand it back. They cannot explain it. It is psycho. This is Psycho Billz.
-Everything examinable before and after
-No Threads, wires, magnets, heat
-Bill can be borrowed
