MML_1.0 by Alvo Stockman_7657


Magic Modeling Language (MML) is a way professional magicians can abstractly describe and quantify the dynamics of a magic trick.

By looking past the presentational details of a particular trick, we can compare tricks that are seemingly very different in interesting ways.

Through effect maps, we can quantify elements of magic tricks that are sometimes clouded by presentation. effect maps are one more way that professional magicians can further analyze and refine their performances…

And it’s a free gift from Alvo!

“Espresso is very good! The method is simple but very clever.” -Aldo Colombini

“Espresso is a perfect moment of ‘strange’ that will leave your coffee house consorts speechless.” -Erik Ostresh

“I hate coffee, and I usually hate coffee shop magic… but I might become a java junkie just for this one effect! Needless to say, this trick is HOT!” -Kyle Jarrard

Imagine this:

You’re sitting at a coffee shop with a potential friend/mate/client. You each buy a coffee, only to realize that you got iced coffee instead of the hot coffee that you ordered! (The spectator can verify that it’s ICE cold.)

Fortunately, with a snap of the fingers (and a little help from the Espresso’s clever method), the lid is taken off to see the steam BILLOW out! The same coffee is now PIPING hot and can be sipped at your (or your spectator’s) leisure.

With a set-up that requires NO outside props and can be done at the coffee shop in less than a minute, Espresso is an effect you’ll learn and always have with you for that perfect moment when you need to blow someone away.

Note from Author:

“When someone pulls out a deck of cards or some coins, there is a shift in mood; everyone knows you’re about to perform a magic trick and they are ready for it. With Espresso, you have a totally organic effect that hits spectators right between the eyes when they FEEL the magic happen.”

If you ever find yourself at coffee shops, you should own Espresso.

Memories Are Made of This by Simon Aronson

Memories Are Made of This - magic

Memorized deck magic is a whole new world for the card magician, and it has become a blooming intellectual industry. On a personal note, Simon’s thoughts and discoveries in this area changed the way I think about card magic. And taking your first two steps into this world are painless.

Step One: Download Simon’s FREE ebook Memories are Made This. Consider all he has to say, and then…

Step Two: Memorize the order. This takes a couple weeks, but once you’ve got it, it will be a skill you’ll have for life. And unlike other forms of practice, this one doesn’t require deft manipulation: it just requires some memory (and he makes this easy for you in the ebook).

Memorized Deck magic opens up unique possibilities. It turns pick-a-card tricks into THINK-a-card tricks. It allows you to perform amazing tricks without ever touching the cards. We’re all familiar with card controls (controlling a card to the top or controlling four Aces). With memorized deck magic, you are controlling all 52 cards, all the time.

But exploring the world of memorized deck magic evokes questions. Which stack do I use? What is a memorized deck? How do I learn one? How long does it take? What tricks can I do with a memorized deck? All good questions. And Simon has some excellent advice on all these questions and more, and he is offering it to Vanishing Inc. readers for free. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Memories are Made of This is a little primer into a bigger world. In this booklet you have everything you need to memorize the stack. It will also help you decide which Aronson book is best to start with.
All of Aronson’s books and DVDs are a FABULOUS value—nobody on Earth would dispute that. We always suggest you start with Bound to Please, but beginning with any of the others is fine, too.

If you downloaded this ebook from Simon a few years ago, you’ll want to check out this version. It has been completely redesigned and has some great bonus material!

PACKED by Eric Richardson

PACKED - magic

PACKED was a booklet Eric gave away exclusively at The Session convention several years ago (only 60 were printed). He gave them to magicians he sessioned with. Now you can enjoy this exclusive release as well.

PACKED contains eight fully scripted routines and one super sneaky box peek. This book is packed with previously unpublished routines, items from out of print lecture notes and a sampling of material from Eric’s previously published books .

Despite the varied themes and methods presented, everything in this book shares one rather peculiar thing in common. Each of these routines came to Eric in a single “flash” of inspiration where everything rattling around in his mind (ideas, routines, techniques, groceries lists, embarrassing childhood memories, etc.) converged in a single moment of surprising clarity. The last routine in this book, bizarrely, came to him, fully formed, in a dream. None of this follows his normally slow and methodical approach to creating magic. Curious indeed!
