This is brand new edition of Dark Connection project now available. A colored Ebook, a much more complete description, more in-depth variants and a more detailed psychological approach.
The performer shows a deck of cards, turns round, wears a blindfold and asks a spectator to cut a few card from the deck. The spectator shuffles the card and when he wants, show the first card of the pile.
Then, the spectator is requested to take a bigger pack of card, and cut this pack as he wants, to lose the card he saw amongst the others. The rest of the deck is placed above cards inside the spectator hand.
Once the performer is facing the spectator again, he explains that he will take the cards the spectator is holding and show them to him one by one. During this sequence, the spectator is asked to look at every single card the same way. But when he sees his card, he has to say STOP in his mind.
Without ever looking at the face of any card and without saying a word, always with the blindfold on his eyes the performer slowly shows each card. Magically, or by telepathy, the magician finds the card that the spectator chose and is thinking of right now!
The mentalist stands before a subject telling the person to just relax and breathe…the subject’s eyes flutter and apparently goes into a trance in mere seconds.
Mind Plant
After making claims that it is possible to send an image, word, or number telepathically, the performer sets out to demonstrate this feat.
A subject is instructed to close their eyes and think of an image. The performer asks three simple questions that have no relevance to what the subject is thinking. After the subject answers the three questions the performer is able to draw the image, number or word that was in the subject’s mind.
Trust your Instinct
A female and a male subject are brought on the stage. The woman is asked to think of a card and psychically send it to the male. The male is then given a deck and thumbs off cards until he gets a feeling that he is on the females card. She then says the name of her card out loud. The male turns over his card to find that it matches the card she was thinking of.
Inside Intuition
In this effect a judge is asked to inspect and envelope and ensure that it is opaque and no slits, marks, or gaffs exist on it. The judge affirms this and then signs the envelope. A spectator is asked on stage and given a white board and marker. The spectator is told that inside the envelope is a picture and that they are to make a drawing of what they think the picture is. After doing this they show drawing they made on the white board and the performer opens the envelope revealing a picture that matches drawing.
If you’re an eager beginner, curious student, earnest collector, or seasoned veteran, accomplished expert Jon Racherbaumer offers a satisfying book revealing why card conjuring has advanced farther and faster than any other category of magic. It exposes the playful side of the “Real Work” and shows why it’s worth studying.

Straightforward exposition, easy-to-read type, and over 250 large-sized photographs. Practical inside information, even if you’re not a card man or finger-flinger.

Joseph Barry’s ‘Out Of My World’ was a massive hit at the Blackpool convention and Magic live!, selling out at both events. A limited amount have been re-printed exclusively for The Modus.
OOMW is an improvisational structure for the out of this world effect it looks and feels impossible and will devastate any audience you show it to. A regular deck is shuffled by the spectator an despite the spectators constantly shuffling, cutting and making all of the choices the cards are impossibly separated into red and black.
Combining new principles that are available today (that weren’t available when I first started my journey into star sign/ date of birth divination) mixed with old principles, I am happy to say I can finally close the door on something that has been an obsession of mine for too long.
This is it, the last one in the “Isabella’s Star” series. I won’t be re-visiting the d.o.b divination premise again as I’m so happy with this, it makes me smile just thinking about it.
No more maths/ calculations, no more astrological numbers, no cribs, the participant never writes anything down (this is entirely prop-less), quick to perform, rock solid in terms of method and very little procedure.

“Andrew and Atlas have devised an absolutely ingenious new version of the ACAAN effect. It uses a borrowed, shuffled deck and there are no forces, dual-reality, stooges or any of the other shenanigans which are hallmarks of so many other ‘new’ handlings of this effect. Rather, they offer an elegant new method, backed up by sound psychology and a worker’s approach to presentation. It’s a winner – one I added to my repertoire immediately.” -Mark Elsdon
“Everyone has a favourite T-shirt or sweater. It fits with everything, is comfortable, makes you feel good……
The Crusade is my performing equivalent. It can fit in any performance and suits any style. Try it on for size. I’m sure you’ll never stop wearing it.” -Stephen Young
“A very powerful and elegant solution to one of the great plots of card magic. There are a lot of solid ACAANs out there to choose from, but this is the one I will be using.” -Chris Philpott
“The Crusade is a true piece of art and I have no hesitation in saying that this will become the go to effect for any mentalist who utilizes cards within their work.” -Michael Murray
“Andrew and Atlas really understand how to make the ACAAN plot into a miracle. The way they structure the effect and make the method part of the cleanness of the effect is an education. This is a very interesting approach and worth studying.” -Marc Paul
