Kranzilla Unleashed
A book featuring the creative magic and comedy of Nathan Kranzo
£30.00 + P&P
Clever,
quirky, original, commercial, funny, different, practical - these are
just some of the words that you can use to describe the magic of Nathan
Kranzo.
In this collection of his ideas for stand up and close up, you will find
magic to suit a wide spectrum of tastes and audience types. With effects
ranging from visibly sliding a tan line up your arm, right through to
enabling a spectator to cut to the four Aces, Nathan combines raw
cunning with extensive magical knowledge to produce magic that is always
interesting and usually totally baffling.
And running through all the material is the Kranzo sense of humour which
is at one moment subtle and mischievous, and the next raw and basic! He
loves to have fun with his spectators and while much of the magic in
this book includes his comedy presentations, Nathan also explains a
number of great visual gags that you can place straight into your act.
Nathan's audiences love his memorable magic, and so will you!

Amazing Human Lie Detector - Table-Hop Pro Size
by Eddie Burke
Entertaining,
effective & straight forward it almost works itself. Packed with
audience participation. Eddie used this for several years as part of his
billing as The Human Lie Detector.
You pass out five large playing cards for examination, these can be
mixed and shuffled by your audience, as you explain that you have
studied lie detection without using a Polygraph machine and you rely
instead on people’s breathing, palpitations, hesitation, and general
body language for your clues.
With your back turned to your participant you instruct him over your
shoulder to mix the five cards even more thoroughly. Then you ask him
with the cards in his own hands to simply think of one of the five cards
while your back is still turned so you cannot receive any clues as to
the card he has in his mind.
Now you ask him only to answer yes to your following questions, in this
way he will tell four lies and only answer truthfully on ONE occasion.
Taking a card in turn you ask questions such as, “Is your card a RED
card?” or a heart card etc, to each question he answers yes. In this
manner you eliminate in turn four of the cards, until you are left
holding just one card back to the audience.
Now you ask him to truthfully name his simply thought of card, let’s say
he names the, “Jack of hearts.” You turn around the card you are holding
for everyone to see it is indeed the Jack of Hearts!
This clever method is 100% certain. The card is different every time you
perform it. Yet you always reveal the card he is merely thinking of
correctly. No stooges, no peeking. Everything can be left for
examination.
Comes complete with instructions and five unfaked playing cards in
Table-Hop Pro size.

L.P.I (Looch Pocket Index) -
Stainless Steel Edition
Back
in 2007, Looch set the Mentalism world on fire by introducing the
L.P.I (Looch Pocket Index). This well designed pocket miracle maker
instantly sold out and was considered by the pro’s as one of the best
pocket indexes ever made.
Over the years one of the most frequent requests from fellow mentalists
was for the L.P.I to be made available again. After years of research,
discussion and development, Read My Mind Ltd are delighted to announce
that this incredible product is finally back and better than ever!
Each L.P.I has been expertly manufactured in Stainless Steel and will
last a lifetime of performance use. Load up your L.P.I with billets,
folded business cards, or even currency and it will always be ready to
assist you in producing mind blowing mental miracles for your audiences!
Each Stainless Steel L.P.I comes with its own custom printed velvet bag
and access to an eBook with detailed instructions. You will also be
granted access to the Facebook owners group to share ideas and routines
with each other. (Facebook account required)
*Please note, the L.P.I is designed as a billet index, with the primary
focus being to simply and efficiently organise a range of ‘outs’ and
give you instant access to them during performance. It will not hold a
full deck of playing cards.
What the Pro's are saying about the L.P.I (Looch Pocket index)
"The best mentalism uses ‘invisible’ props which are seen but go
unnoticed, or, in the case of a good billet index, completely unseen.
Looch has designed and carefully built an exceptional index and it can
certainly be used to produce devastating effects." Ken Weber
"I have long searched for a perfect billet index; finally the search
is over, thank you." Lior Manor
"The LPI is well conceived, carefully executed, delightfully compact,
flawlessly functional, and soon-to-be scarce. I've never used a better billet
index." Doug Dyment
"A well made tool, and more importantly readymade, with a plethora of
possibilities." Marc Salem
"I recently used LPI at a convention; I like it because it is simple
and can't go wrong, it worked perfectly." Richard Osterlind

PropDog Card on Ceiling
Wax
The
Card on Ceiling trick has been around since the early part of the
century and was originally performed with tacks but over the last few
decades, magicians have been using wax as an alternative.
PropDog came up with what we think is a great improvement to the wax and
that is to colour it to make it much more invisible depending on hour
you use it.
The PropDog Card on Ceiling Wax has been specially formulated in
conjunction with a dedicated wax manufacturing company to be of the
perfect consistency for the trick. It's not so sticky that it leaves a
sticky residue on your fingers, but sticks perfectly to ceilings and
walls and means you can use smaller amounts, giving you more
performances per tub. All colours have been professionally matched and
the colourant is wax based, so will not stain the ceiling. Of course the
chances of actually flashing the wax is very little and it's never been
a requirement before, but as this wax is cheaper than other versions,
then using it can only make your act better.
The Colours
For those who like to hide their wax in plain sight, we have:
Sharpie Grey - For those who hide the wax on their Sharpie, a small
amount on the bottom of your Sharpie is almost imperceivable. Just steal
the wax off as you give the Sharpie to the spectator to sign their card.
Sharpie Black - For those who hide it on the lid of their Sharpie
or on their belt. Just steal it off the lid or your belt as you give out
the Sharpie.
For those who hide the wax out of sight, we have:
Bicycle Blue and Red - Professionally colour matched to Bicycle Card
Red Backs. Once loaded on the card, if you were to accidentally flash
the top of the cards whilst performing the trick, it is far more
unlikely that the spectator will notice the wax.
Natural - for those who are not really bothered and just like to
use the standard colour.
The wax comes in three tin sizes: 15g, 30g and 50g. As a guide, the
standard Michael Ammar tub contains around 35g.
A 50g tin of wax will give you enough wax for approximately 300
performances.
A 30g tin of wax will give you enough wax for approximately 180
performances.
A 15g tin of wax will give you enough wax for approximately 90
performances.
Please note that these tins only contain Card on Ceiling wax and they do
not come with a routine or instructions on how to perform the effect.

Clone Coin by Mark Lee
This
is a super clean 'Special' coin that can be shown clearly as a regular
coin. There are two effects included, but once you see the ingenuity of
the coin, there are many more possibilities. Effect one, is a simple
coins across in your hands effect. You start off by displaying two coins
openly, there is obviously nothing else in your hands. You place the two
coins, one at a time, and very cleanly, from your right hand to the
left. You now pick the two coins up with your right hand, and display
them. They are then thrown one at a time into your left hand (you can
even hear them clinking), and you grip them, making a fist with both
hands. You make a magical gesture, and although your hands never come
anywhere near each other, you can now show that you have one coin in
each hand! Effect two, is a coin matrix effect. Using four coins, which
are shown and counted, and two regular playing cards, borrowed if you
wish. The coins are spread out in to a square formation. Two of the
coins are now covered by the playing cards. When one is lifted, a coin
has gone, and when the other card is lifted there are now two coins
under it. This is repeated, until all the coins are now under one card!
You can now show you have only two cards and four coins! These are
available in the 10p coin version as standard, but you can order any
coin you require. - Standard 10p coin plus instructions - £25.00 + £2.95
UK postage or £4.95 overseas.

Impossible Card Magic
Impossible
Card Magic is a perfect title for this DVD. Every effect on this tape
is impossible to figure out when you first see it - you will be fooled!
The skill level ranges from intermediate to advanced but the effort
involved in learning these routines will surely put you ahead of the
crowd. All the routines are show-stoppers and all the methods are new
and original. This is card magic that will fool and entertain. Includes
Raise Rise - One of Ray's signature pieces, an ambitious card sequence
where a signed selection is placed near the bottom of the deck, sticking
out for half its length. Visually, the card jumps up to the middle of
the deck, then near the top, then becomes the top card! The card magic
contained on this DVD is not easy but each effect is well worth the
practice. Highly Recommended!
