MagicTricks.co.uk have just started releasing some powerful magic from one of the UK’s unsung magical heroes – Roger Curzon. This is his approach to the Signed Card in Envelope plot. There’s a sleight of hand and a sleight-free version and all the necessary gimmicks are included. There are also some extra routines on the DVD. A great hit at Blackpool this year, you get some great magic here for £20. (If you want to explore more of Roger’s magic, you will enjoy his first DVD Blood on the Tricks for only £19.99.)
We enjoyed Ben Harris’ clever Crossroads effect – and not just because we’re slightly obsessed with the thought of card in impossible location effect, and USPCC have recently produced this great Crossroads Double Faced Set of cards to make this effect even more slick. The set comes with detailed extra instructions with further ideas (though you will need the original Crossroads effect to fully understand this). £11.50 (or you can get the ‘Peek‘ edition for £7.99)
Here’s one of the most interesting twists on a card trick that we’ve seen in a while. To an intriguing story about Houdini, pictures of handcuffs open and Houdini disappears in The Vanishing. Another great original idea from Jon Allen. Only £15.50

It is rare to find a card trick that works well in a larger ‘platform’ context, but Fourseen is just such an effect. It is by Wayne Dobson which means it will also be entertaining and easy to do and it now comes with a DVD to help you learn it. What’s not to like? £15.00
PSI Poker is a new and intriguing effect from the creative brain of Ben Harris. A self-working, and ever so fair looking poker prediction effect. A nicely produced booklet explains it all for only £12.50
I’ve been playing this for a little while and hope do you a proper review of this when things become slightly less busy here. But Phantom of the Wallet is a great no palm signed card to wallet with an entertaining plot. Nicely made props and well written instructions – just what you’d expect from a Breeze/Duffie collaboration. Only £23.50

This one only came out yesterday so I have not had a chance to look at it yet. But it is a close cousin of Ben’s Crossroads effect – which I am a big fan of. So I have no hesitation in recommending this. Ben always produces well thought through magic and this sounds great. £26.99
I have always liked the classic ‘rising card’ effect. Nick Langham has taken the effect and combined it with another classic principle to produce a knockout effect which is easy to do. All beautifully produced on Bicycle stock. £19.99
Regular readers will no of my soft-spot for mentalism. This is, obviously, a non-card item, but is a nice piece of mental magic with an attractive hand-crafted prop. Currently over 30% off at £14.99
