029 - S2E16 "Brian And Sylvia" with Cameron Francis — Let's Face The Facts  - A Facts Of Life Podcast by David Almeida

A BBM EXCLUSIVE VIDEO DOWNLOAD – Learn a killer self working card magic principle and FOUR routines to bust it out in! The countback force requires no skill and is certainly effective BUT to the observant spectator it’s dangerously transparent. Cameron has created a subtlety that adds next-level deception to this concept. Infact Cameron takes this age old self working card principle and turbo charges it – giving you a weapon that can be used for all kinds of card tricks! This fresh variation of an ancient procedure will breathe new life into countless tricks… and most likely fool a lot of magicians as well! While you can perform a classic CAAN effect with this concept, Cameron demonstrates several other possibilities, including a coincidence effect, a four of a kind production, and a prediction effect. This procedure can be done in person or can even be used for virtual performances. Use any deck. No gaffs or gimmicks involved. Oh, and did we mention that all of the effects taught are self working? Well, they are!

Luke Jermay – The Magic Wand(VIP)

The Magic Wand – eBook & Video

Magic Wand Instant Download in PDF format, 10,105 words.  Bonus routine ‘Taste’ PDF Format and Video Download (1 hour 30 minutes). Full performance rights, in all performance settings are included with purchase.

The Magic Wand is a professionally scripted fifteen to twenty minute routine that can be performed in close up, parlour and stage settings.  Jermay’s word for word script is covered in detail alongside a deep dive examination language, technique and the performance approach used to bring the routine to life in real world performances.

The Magic Wand showcases a series of amazing phenomena alongside a mysterious script that might best be described as ‘performance occultism.’  A radically fresh and unique approach that offers the modern performer a decidedly different tone and mood when presented among traditional mentalism.

A spectator inexplicably finds themselves unable to lift a magic wand from the performers hand, then unable to open their eyes, then unable to stand before finally becoming magically weightless allowing them to be impossibly lifted by four other spectators as if levitating.

This routine is a masterclass in how to take classic ‘body magic’ stunts and with intelligent, subtle and deceptive language, structure and theatrical staging transform them into miracle experiences for modern audiences.  No pre-show work, stooging, suggestion or hypnosis is required.  The routine is failsafe thanks to the clever blending of ‘body magic’ stunts, a compelling narrative and unique subtle justifications and convincers for these often overlooked methods.

Thanks to its structure and intriguing narrative The Magic Wand is one of Jermay’s favourite routines to perform, offering more than the sum of its parts in performance. It has a simplicity and elegance that makes for a powerful and direct experience for an audience that is unlike any other trick you will perform.

As useful as the clever techniques and modifications to classic body magic methods are, the professional performance script is the real star of the show, offering a compelling narrative focusing on the magical direction and manifestation of mental energy.  The script is suitable for mentalists, psychic entertainers and even magicians who veer toward a more mysterious and unexplainable performance style.

Instant Download in PDF format, 10,105 words.  Full performance rights, in all performance settings are included with purchase.

To perform the effect you will require a magic wand or stick and one very simple to make gimmick utilising a household object you probably already have.  While the routine uses language to the performers advantage it is possible to perform this routine in any language you wish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What are ‘Body Magic’ stunts?

Body magic stunts appear across classic magic and mentalism literature, you will probably have encountered these types of methods before.  In a basic sense they are ‘tricks’ that use the subtle secrets in physiology to bring about remarkable looking phenomena.  Often they are overlooked by magicians and mentalists due to the challenge of justifying the actions the spectators needs to take to ensure success.  However in The Magic wand unique and effortless solutions for justifying the processes is offered making these often overlooked methods even more direct and effective in performance.

 

Will this routine work in languages other than English?:

While the script is a part of the method for this routine, it is not limited to the English language.  You will need to translate and adapt the script offered to your own language but none of the methods utilise aspects of duel reality, ambiguity, suggestion or double speak.  There is no reason the routine can not be performed in whichever language you wish.  Personally I prefer the Romance languages and think this would probably sound lovely in French.

 

Does this routine use hypnosis or suggestion?

No.  All of the phenomena used in this routine is failsafe and surefire.  No hypnosis or suggestion is needed to perform the routine exactly as it is described.  With that said, this routine is an excellent bridge into hypnotic phenomena and can be used as an excellent gateway into genuine hypnotic phenomena if you wish.

 

What props are required?

To perform the routine you will need a magic wand or stick and a simple to make gimmick.  The gimmick is made from a common household item.  It is not expensive and can be purchased on every single high street in the world and can be made by anyone easily.  I am not a skilled gimmick maker.  I can barely use a glue stick.  If I can make it, I am 100% sure anyone can!

 

Where can this routine be performed?

The routine is not limited by its method to any specific performance setting.  The methods are suitable for all performance settings in which you are in the same space as the spectators.  A minimum of 5 people is needed, if you intend to perform the routine with the climax outlined. However, each part of the routine can be performed in isolation with smaller groups if desired.  I have performed this routine in parlour and stage settings as well as in more casual settings with small groups.  No pre-show work or duel reality is used, making it suitable for small groups who know each other than will talk to one another after the performance. While not covered in the manuscript, with some adjustments it might be possible to use this routine in virtual performance but to do so will require you to rework the routine yourself.

 

Are performance rights included?

Yes!  I release the material I share with the community in the highest hope that you will actually perform it!  All performances settings, including television, are granted with purchase.  Nothing is reserved.  I am always thrilled when I hear people tell me about their successes performing my material. I put no barrier in the way of that success!  Please perform this routine it will make me smile knowing you are!

 

How hard is the routine to perform?

The methods are simple.  However, as with all good material, practice, understanding and preparation are needed to best present it to an audience.  There is no challenging sleight of hand or techniques that will require years of dedication to master.  I believe this is no such thing as a ‘self working’ routine.  However, on many levels the phenomena are as close to self working as possible. I believe with some simple rehearsal and practice anyone in the world, no matter their skill level, will be able to perform this routine well.

 

What is included in the download?

The routine is taught in detail in a PDF/eBook that is available for download instantly after purchase.  The PDF is professionally edited and typeset and contained 10,105 words.

 

Can I get a refund?

As with all magic, you are purchasing the secret.  Therefore it is not possible for a refund to be granted.  The secret is the purchase and all purchases are final.

Torn Too by Daniel Garcia

From the mind of Daniel Garcia comes a torn and restored card routine that will make you smile.

“You’ve got a great smile.” — Daniel Garcia

A card is selected and signed.

You explain: Your “secret” is a small “CRIMP” you put in the card so you can find it.

You demonstrate: Your “CRIMP” is actually a hilariously large chunk that you tear off of the corner of their signed card.

You explain: This “CRIMP” allows you to cut to their selection “just by feeling for the missing part”.

You confess: There’s one small problem with your method… sometimes a spectator with “a highly trained eye” will notice the extra piece. With this, you pick up the torn chunk of card from the table and place it on top of the spectator’s signed card.

You give the deck a couple of tiny shakes to position the CHUNK into place. As you wipe your thumb over the tear, the card is VISUALLY restored.

Immediately hand your spectator their signed card. It’s COMPLETELY RESTORED.

Now take a moment to relax and enjoy and bathe in love. You’re completely re-set for the next table.

Bill Perkin – iFlight

iFlight is an update for the classic “Ring Flight” effect, in which you cause a borrowed ring to reappear somewhere unexpected. Rather than use a leather key wallet (which are rarely seen these days), creator Bill Perkins has devised a simple yet stunning solution to load a borrowed ring onto the middle of your headphones, which are wrapped around your mobile phone. Watch the trailer for an accurate depiction of how great this looks in real time.

It’s easy to do and comes with a gimmicked marker that facilitates everything. Use YOUR phone, YOUR earbuds, and anyone’s ring. No alterations to your clothing is necessary, and once you have this special gimmick, the routine is impromptu and easy to perform.

  • No reels, or chance of losing the spectator’s ring
  • Very easy to do
  • Use any phone and headphones
  • Clever new method leaves the ring ACTUALLY wrapped onto your headphones

Apate by Raphael Macho

Apate is a working routine! I started working on it in 2014, and THAT is the final routine now. A coin and a pen constantly vanish, change and appear in impossible locations.
The routine is very visual and almost impromptu – all you need is 1 coin, 1 pen and a jacket. It’s perfect for every close up occasion.
Over 25 minutes instruction video – with bonus variations.

If you like sleight of hand – this is a MUST.

David Copperfield’s History of Magic(VIP)

A captivating and enlightening exploration of the history of magic, illusion and conjuring.

Despite being one of most influential, if not THE most influential, magicians to ever live, David Copperfield has never lost sight of the fact that magic is an art that stands on the shoulders of giants. His passion for the history of magic and ensuring each new generation recognizes the greats who came before us makes him the perfect captain for this journey through the fascinating world of deception.

With help from fellow magicians Richard Wiseman and David Britland, Copperfield chronicles 28 different groundbreaking magicians that helped transform magic from simple feats of trickery into a beloved and respected form of entertainment. From Reginald Scot introducing the world to conjuring with The Discoverie of Witchcraft to Dai Vernon (a.k.a “The Man Who Fooled Houdini”) revolutionizing the possibilities of close-up magic to the woman who proved magic is not just a man’s world by levitating and catching bullets between her teeth, David Copperfield’s “History of Magic” is an exciting look back at the remarkable evolution of magic.

Like many magicians, each of these conjurers shared similar stories of using magic to escape the limitations of their culture or socioeconomic status. By learning how to leverage the inner workings of the human mind and embracing the latest technological and scientific discoveries, these magicians were able to drive social change and transform magic from a secret underground art into a relevant part of mainstream pop culture.

These remarkable tales are complemented by more than 100 never-before-seen photographs from David Copperfield’s illustrious Museum of Magic in Las Vegas, including a 16th century treatise on sleight of hand moves, Houdini’s straightjackets, handcuffs and water torture chamber, Alexander’s high-tech turban that enabled him to read minds as “The Man who Knows”, Dante’s famous sawing-in-half apparatus and even some coins that were believed to have once been held by America’s 16th President Abraham Lincoln.

David Copperfield’s “History of Magic” is a gorgeous hardback book with full-color photos that will anchor any library or collection. It is sure to inspire you and leave you filled with the same passion for magic that has driven him to become one of the most successful entertainers in the world.
