Bold Assembly – Ben Train
This looks good. Too good. Our initial feedback was that it was a deceptive trailer that “must have” edited out a critical move. Not so! The name is appropriate, because this is bold! It’s so beautiful and simple and effective that we think you will use this right away. Based on an idea by Daryl, Ben Train has refined the technique into quite simply one of the finest assembly routines we’ve ever seen. A steal at just 12 dollars.
You show the four aces and deal them to separate spots on the table, where they are covered with a few random cards. With a light touch, the aces vanish one-by-one, leaving no trace behind. They are found together in the same pile, and everything is 100% clean.
All you need are your two hands and any pack of cards. Ben leaves no stone unturned as he teaches all of the moves and bits of routining that turn this into one of the most fair and beautiful card assemblies we’ve ever seen.
The Definitive Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick(VIP)
A beloved mentalism text is finally available again after being out of print for many years.
"One of the great unsung heroes of original and fooling magic."
- Derren Brown
The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick became an underground sensation when it was first self-released in the late 2000s. Hector's refreshing take on mentalism captivated the entire community. This book quickly sold out and, outside of some "revised additions" years ago, it has been out of print for a long time.
Due to unwavering demand from mentalists and magicians alike, Vanishing Inc. has worked directly with Hector to bring The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick back and make it better than ever. The routines have been updated and rewritten and new material has been added alongside new illustrations. In total, more than 50 pages of amazing tricks and invaluable essays have been included in this "definitive" version of The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick.
This book is written unlike any other mentalism book. It's not dry or dense. You'll find yourself enthralled by the clever thinking and sharp wit.

All of the included effects in this nearly 260-page hardcover book are practical and audience-tested. They're accompanied by fascinating essays that delve into some of mentalism's most important topics. His thoughts on equivoque are worth the price of the book alone. There's even one essay that might be the shortest essay on magic and mentalism ever printed.
Inside The Definitive Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick you'll find:
- The Paper Plane Chair Game: A completely open prediction revealing which of four different chairs randomly-selected audience members will sit in.
- Equivoque À Deux: Using nothing but words and gestures, Hector shares how concrete equivoque language can be and will inspire you to rethink your approach to this classic mentalism technique.
- Mars & Murrie: Another routine exploring how equivoque can be strengthened by examining and changing the ways in which we eliminate objects.
- The Windsor Magnet: A gimmickless and propless pseudo-hypnosis routine in which the performer performs causes a person to lose their ability to lift the arm of someone much smaller than them.

"Hector's a phenomenon."
- Andy Nyman
"Genuinely the most inspiring, useful, and intelligent mentalism book I have ever purchased."
- Chris Cox
"Hector Chadwick is, in my opinion, the best writer in mentalism. His prose is always full of wisdom (without any pretense or posturing); it is witty, insightful and crystal-clear in meaning and description. When I'm asked what my 5 favorite mentalism books are, 'The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick' is always at the top of my list."
- Tom Baxter
"We had the genuine joy of reading The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick for the first time some eight years after we started performing magic together, and were quite cross that it had not been in our hands much, much earlier. We have no doubts that you will love this book just as much as we do. Which is a lot. A huge amount really."
- Morgan & West
"The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick is a Modern Classic. I perform routines from the book to this day, and reading the essays made me a better magician. It is such an important book to me."

Its visual & easy to do.

A card box is shown and handed to your spectator to hold, with a wave of the hand the box mysteriously opens by itself.
Easy to do
Fully examinable
Above Ground by Jared Hansen
The Ting Change: Named after my beautiful girlfriend, it is a modern approach to the classic color change. It starts out the same way but in this version, you can display your hands seemingly empty and still change the card.
The Black Mamba: This strikes with no warning, hence the name. It is a very visual change where your thumb or a coin is over the deck and as you square up the cards, visually, the card underneath your thumb or coin changes to the selection.
* BONUS * The Rhino Change: A unique take on Jeff McBride’s Window Change. Imagine doing it with almost no cover… this version lets you do just that.
A Forced Thought By Steven Himmel
The magician riffles the deck to allow the a spectator to think of a card within the deck. The deck is shuffled and handed to a second spectator who begins dealing the cards face down one at a time until they want to stop. The card they stop at is the thought of card. The use of this subterfuge allows for very clean predictions and revelations.
