Trick of the Month – November 2009

Apologies for the late posting of this. I was down in Portsmouth for the Jumbo Day and had a few days off, so here is the belated trick of the month…

If you’re a fan of good card magic you will be familiar with The Session – an annual convention for those who love their [...]

Trick of the Month – October 2009

This is my favourite kind of card effect – with an impossible location of a thought of card. And it can also be presented in the ACAAN format which is a double bonus for me. Available as an instant download or in print, both at £22.50 Here’s another instant download with the serious cardworker [...]

Trick of the Month – Sep 2009

Nexus is an instant download which contains 5 routines. Don’t be put off by the simple presentation of the document – there is some great mental magic here – with cards, poker chips and money. Something for everyone, as they say! £11.99 Since Bicycle Cards are our bread and butter here, I thought I’d [...]

Trick of the Month – Aug 2009

The sharper eyed of you may have noticed that there have been some extra posts imported to the site (ok – I admit it is unlikely!). We have imported all our mini-reviews/recommendations from our sister site (BicycleTricks.co.uk – which will no longer be operational after tomorrow). If you want to see the whole set, point [...]

Trick of the Month – July 2009

Apologies for a late post this month. We’ve just moved and Internet access continues to be a problem. Well known cardman Andi Gladwin has produced a nice little books which is currently half price at only £5.99 Here’s a nice variation on the magic DVD front. Wayne not only teaches some great tricks, he [...]

Trick of the Month – June 2009

I was privileged to see Craig Petty lecture recently. He is a clever guy and his routines with this coin are a knockout – and best of all, require very little (or no!) sleight of hand. Recommended. Includes two bags with the DVD. Use any currency. £14.96 Although Craig is primarily a coin man, [...]

Trick of the Month – May 2009

Any Card at Any Number (ACAAN) is a plot I am slightly obsessed with! So I was delighted to discover this new instant download (55page) with a very strong version of this effect and several variations and extras. Well worth a look at £19.99 The classic Koran prediction is given a different twist by [...]

Trick of the Month – April 2009

As a fan of both Stephen Tucker and the BBM DVDs, when I saw this was reduced I had to mention it. Lots of clever tricks possible with a custom Bicycle gimmick. 2 extra routines included on the DVD also. Bargain at only £11.50 There’s quite a bit of noise about this new magical [...]

Trick of the Month – Mar 2009

A friend performed this at the club the other day and it was amazing. In essence a photograph which includes a watch proves to show the exact time that the spectator selects. Only one photograph, in view all the time. Very clever working and extremely easy to do – so you can concentrate on [...]

Trick of the Month – Feb 2009

In a ‘credit crunch’ tricks with cash ought to appeal! And this is a very nice looking penetration of a bank note with a playing card. £12.99 I have recently finished reading Phill Smith’s first book – Mitox – The Falsely Spoken Word – and thoroughly enjoyed it. His approach is to the point, [...]
