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

Crazy Car Registrations

by Eddie Burke

We have all seen them and some of us even have one – those crazy car registration plates such as H16H 5!

Showing a large A4 size laminated picture of a comical-looking red car, you explain that you cannot yet drive it on the roads as you need to have a crazy number plate for your rather crazy car. The car picture is slipped into a secure card holder where the back of it is in full view at all times.

You show several Crazy Car Registration plates each one printed and laminated. Now the laughter starts as you show them and call them out, registration numbers such as ID10T, C4R 51CK and so forth they really do cause much amusement as you display them one at a time.

Following this, a spectator chooses one of the registration plates in a very fair manner, you explain that magicians register their cars by magic, and the picture is now shown again with the very same chosen number plate has magically appeared permanently printed on your car!

Note: The registration mark can be changed for repeat performances.

Mentalists: This canny routine can also be used as a prediction effect, by positioning the car picture back out and in full view, and then having fun with the number plates as explained; having one chosen and finally showing that the chosen Crazy Car Registration mark is the one on your prediction picture!

Comes with 3 car picture cards (approx 11.5 x 7.75”, 29 x 19.5cm), eight number plates (approx 8 x 2”, 20 x 5cm), switching window holder (11.75 x 8.25”, 29.5 x 21cm) & instructions.

A Lifetime In Magic Volume 2
113 pages, soft back, photo illustrated
Devin Knight

Magicseen Publications are delighted that international master mentalist Devin Knight has chosen them to publish his lifetime’s work. The project is contained in a set of books, each one being full of Devin’s groundbreaking ideas.

Volume 2 continues where volume 1 left off with detailed explanations for over 20 Devin Knight masterpieces. It starts with three stunning effects that appear to be as near to real mindreading as you can get. Devin explains little known principles which will enable you to reveal repeatedly which hand a spectator is merely thinking of, to remove the card a spectator simply looked at in a fan, and to name a mentally chosen card without fishing or clues.

The book then moves into a section in which Devin offers you six different effects using his Sanda Panda Mystery Box. This is a simple ungimmicked drop lid box which you can handle in such a way as to create unfathomable miracles. For example, you can use it as a prediction container, for a book test, or you can have a signed selected card appear folded inside the box. There are so many ways that this principle can be used.

Next you come to the core of this book's material - Clip Sight. This is a special clip board that is very easy to make which will enable you to create miracles without having to resort to dodgy electronics or unnatural handlings. This is VERY clever and so practical, and although Devin provides full details of 10 killer effects using it (including an awesome Headline Prediction), any mentalist worth his salt will be able to find many other applications for it too.

The book concludes with four more routines, including a very unusual book test in which a selected SIGNED page is ripped from a book and burnt, only to return fixed inside the book.

Volume 2 contains a lot of reputation making mentalism and psychic material, and so if this is your area of interest, you will find much to inspire you in its pages.

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 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.

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!
