Trick of the Month – July 2010

More recommendations from Bicycle-Cards.co.uk

WOW 2 We very rarely promote pre-orders on this site since we prefer to know things work before we push them, but we’re making a noble exception here. Masuda’s original WOW trick was an instant success – incredible visual magic. We are certain WOW 2 will be the same – and will sell out very quickly – hence the pre-order. Click through for the full details, but essentially a chosen and signed card will visibly rise through a face down deck and appear on the top. What an ending to an Ambitious Card routine. Pre-order now for £28.99

Trick of the Month – Mar 2009

Frozen in Time by Masuda 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 the presentation. My kind of trick. £64.99
Limited Edition This is another ‘old’ trick which deserves to be rediscovered. A spectator’s merely thought of card totally vanishes from your hands. It was watching Eugene Burger perform a variation on this that convinced me of its value. An easy and impressive version of the Princess Card Trick. Only £12.97
WRATH - By Daniel Madison - INSTANT DOWNLOAD This is a new one and is available as an instant download. Very visual. Burn the whole deck and restore just the spectator’s card. Watch the demo for a great effect. £9.99.

Trick of the Month – Mar 2008

The Magic of Ascanio Volume 1 If you’re serious about your magic, then you must think about how you present it. This is a book by one of the Greats of magic with his thoughts on creativity, presentation, timing, misdirection etc. A wonderful book and a bargain at the moment as it is currently reduced to £20.00 (normally £36.00)
(Another good alternative to this if you want to think about how to turn a “trick” into a “miracle” is Darwin Ortiz’s Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz – Book at £29.99)
Dramatic Envelope by Katsuya Masuda From the creator of the incredibly visual WOW comes a striking mental item. Don’t be deceived by the poor title (!) this is a very direct mental item as your wallet contains the ESP card chosen by the spectator. £29.99
The Domino Effect - (Domino Card) This one’s a nice idea for a bar trick, because it contains a gag and some magic all in one. Predicting the spots arranged by the spectator on a domino is the basic effect – click through for more. £12.99
