| I haven’t tried this yet, but I was so pleased with the Gordon Bean effect I was playing with last month that I thought this would probably be worth a look. Especially because it is currently reduced! Its a pretty much sleight-free and examinable 3 card monte type effect. £8.21 (reduced from £11.99) |

I’m currently working through another of Bannon’s books and love his style and creativity. Some of the effects require a certain proficiency with cards, but you will find lots to use and to stimulate other ideas in his work. Should be in everyone’s library. £29.99 update – now only £24.99 at Alakazam. |

For those of you who are newer to magic (though I have heard more experienced magicians speaking very highly of these), and/or who prefer learning via DVDs, this is a cheap DVD teaching some excellent and straightforward effects. The workings are simple so you can concentrate on the presentation. And you will learn a lot about that from watching Mr Dowden. Well worth a look. A second volume is also available. Only £14.99. |

I got this a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. It takes the premise of ‘Parade of the Kings’ and adds a decent plot and extra kickers. Basically the spectator nominates one of four cards which turns out to be the Queen he has previously (freely) chosen. Then all the other cards turn out to be jokers. A very powerful and entertaining effect and dead easy to do! Highly recommended. £14.99 (you may also be interested in this EXCELLENT ebook which contains loads of brilliant mental magic and includes an ungaffed version of Entourage – Mind Blasters – only £12.50 and you can download it instantly!. |

I have long been a fan of Phil Goldstein (aka Max Maven), even more so since reading his wonderful Prism book, and when I noticed that this little classic was reduced at the moment I thought I would bring it to your attention. A clever prediction in the shape of a ‘psychological reading’ and full of the subtleties you expect from the great man. And currently only £4.70 (less than half price). |

I’ve always loved the classic chop cup routine, ever since watching Paul Daniels perform it so well when I was a youngster. But I love the idea of this ‘Dice Chop Cup’ which seems to me to be a slightly more logical prop than a normal cup. £59.99. |
