100 classic houdini tricks you can do
evealed now! The darkest secrets of two of the greatest magicians that ever lived: Houdini, who made a fortune creating illusions for millions; and Dunninger, his closest associate, who developed his own tremendous following as a magician and master mentalist. Both learned early that everyone loves a magic trick–whether performing it or witnessing it.
Dunninger, to whom magic is not only a hobby but a way-of-life, has personally selected and described 100 easy-to-perform yet mystifying tricks, and permits the reader to benefit from his many years of practiced showmanship by including hundreds of hints for proper performance.
John Kennedy – Hummingbird Reel
Make silks, dollar bills, etc. fly into your hand from 20 feet away!
The Humming Bird Reel is the world’s smallest electronic reel. It is only 1 1/2 inches long, by 1/2 inch in diameter. Precision machined from solid brass, the Humming Bird Reel houses an industrial micro motor that is so quiet you can’t even hear it!
The Humming Bird Reel holds an incredible 20 feet of thread. The thread locks automatically as you pull it out, so there’s no tension until you push the button to reel it back in!
You can re-thread the Humming Bird Reel in less than two minutes! There is no spring to break or adjust ever! Comes complete with lithium battery!
Alvo Stockman – Elixir of Life
Go to your local coffee shop with a friend, and order green teas together. Explain to her that this is in fact the fabled Elixir of Life and the secret to your youthful good looks. If she looks skeptical, offer to try an experiment with her.
Have your friend write her current age on the bottom of her cup in permanent marker, and you do the same. Enjoy your teas together over stimulating conversation and mental acrobatics. When youve both finished and are ready to leave, you each look and see that your ages have decreased!
By A YEAR, TWO YEARS or MORE! Individual results may vary.
Alex Blade – Utopian Prediction
Everyone desires something. Whether it be the ability to fly or simply to do better at a particular job, there is always something. However, is there any one person out there would not desire the ability to foretell the future? The ability to predict what is going to happen weeks/months/years in advance! I think not.
Bob Farmer – Turnantula
The sleight … is to my knowledge new and is certainly a lovely maneuver promising wide applicability. If anything can shine through the welter of material being published today, I should think this sleight deserves to. It is quite simply, very, very good … your applications … [are] … excellent in their construction.” – Stephen Minch
“… [Turnantula] … is quite excellent and I have never seen anything like it before.” – Roy Walton
“The venomous bite of the Turnantula caused me to see outstanding close-up card magic that may not have been possible otherwise. Buy it now before an antidote is discovered and spoils everything.” – Richard Kaufman
Bob Farmer – The Bammo Gaffus Maximus
The Magic Red Card of Mystery — OK, I’ve never liked that phrasing (“blah blah of Mystery” or “blah blah of Death”), so let’s just call a stranger red card a mystery card, and let’s have some appropriate text on its back, such as a question mark. Announce in advance that the mystery card will vanish and locate a selected card. Said card is then selected from a blue deck and signed. The red card is placed atop the blue deck from where it vanishes with a wave of your hand (this looks really cool). You find it in the middle of the deck, not next to the signed card, but the red card turns out to be the signed card*. A single gaffed card does all the work.
