Card Sharp by Brian Tudor
The Effect
Brian Tudor, a world renowned card mechanic known for his unparalleled speed and dexterity as well as his groundbreaking new-school style, has broken all the rules by daring to reveal the material contained herein. Make no mistake, enemies have been made by taking these techniques public, but true to his up-from-the-streets attitude the author does not care. He is more concerned with cementing his place in history as the first one to put all the pieces together and publish one single comprehensive system for cheating at poker.
Brief descriptions outlining the five principles covered in this volume are as follows (each of these principles is thoroughly broken down step-by-step and visually explained in precise detail):
* Card Location (finding the hot cards)
* Card Control (stacking the deck)
* False Shuffles (retaining the deck in stacked order)
* Countering the Cut (nullifying the cut)
* Trick Deals (putting the hot cards where you want them)
Is it ethical to demonstrate actual techniques used by professional card-cheats in an instructional format? To teach people how to cheat? It could easily be counter-argued that by understanding all the contents of this DVD a person could actually protect themselves from being cheated! It takes a cheat to catch a cheat. The ethics of this material is determined by the applications that the knowledge is put to. But right or wrong it's all here and cannot be ignored!
History has been made, and the viewer is left to find their own conclusions...
The Ambitious Card is one of those rare things in magic - a "perfect" effect. It is quick and easy to understand, yet has variations limited only by your imagination. The performance transcends all language barriers and can be as simple or as complicated as you wish.

Here you have the chance to witness the live performance of Daryl's entire gold medal-winning F.I.S.M. routine. Daryl also demonstrates and explains dozens of additional tips and subtleties he has created and refined over many years to allow you to be the best you can be. And, for the first time ever, Daryl reveals the real work on the most amazing finale to this routine - Daryl's Ultimate Ambition Improved!

Banachek is one of the world's foremost mentalists. He is the only mentalist to ever fool scientists into believing that he had genuine psychic powers, only to later reveal that he was fooling them. Performers around the world such as Penn & Teller, "The Amazing" Randi and David Blaine seek his performing expertise. Companies and theaters seek him for his outstanding performing abilities. This four-volume DVD set is like getting private lessons from Banachek.
Volume 1 - Mentalism for the Casual Performer - Part 1:
Make a pen stand up and write the exact word a spectator is thinking, all by itself! Predict a corporate image chosen by a CEO! Reveal the serial number of a borrowed dollar bill. All these and more are included in this DVD. These effects run the gamut from psychokinesis, telepathy, predictions to psychological influence. These effects are designed to be performed from the intimacy and casualness of your friend's living room to the trade show floor or the professional stage. Meet Banachek in a personal interview and learn how he started in mentalism and how his career developed as he traveled from England to South Africa ultimately immigrating to the United States.
Volume 2 - Mentalism for the Casual Performer - Part 2
Make the value of a spectator's playing card slowly appear on your arm in blood red, anywhere, anytime! Reveal a thought-of number from across the distance separated by phone lines. Engage two people in a fun routine where the performer predicts a page number and a word "seen" by a volunteer on an invisible Palm Top computer. Become a human lie detector in a thrilling and comical adventure. This DVD continues from Part 1 with close-up, stand-up and stage mentalism and mental magic with additional routines including anywhere, anytime effects plus staggering psychological ploys. Learn a multi-phase routine weaving audience direction and sleight-of-hand into one smooth effect. Also, learn the "inside" secrets of what Banachek considers one of the most powerful tools in the mentalist's arsenal, Pocket Writing. This DVD includes Banachek's discussion of his "Buried Alive" escape, his Bullet Catch illusion now used by Penn & Teller, the difference between mentalism and mental magic plus comical anecdotes about blindfold drives. You will also see a television clip of Banachek's "Buried Alive" escape hosted by William Shatner and TV footage of one of Banachek's early Blindfold Drives.
Volume 3 - Psychophysiological Thought Reading - Muscle Reading:
Do you want to find a needle in a haystack? Using the power of your mind and a little help from your volunteer, you can find anything through your heightened sense of touch. Almost anything you can do in mentalism can be re-enacted using Psychophysiological Thought Reading. This DVD also includes Banachek's first national television appearance. Here he uses the Psychophysiological response to find a playing card hidden in a shopping mall. Additional material included in personal interviews explain how to work with agents, getting booked on the college circuit, trade shows and restaurants, performing on the radio, getting publicity, using disclaimers, accepting challenges and more.
Volume 4 - Psychokinesis:
Learn how to bend cold, hard steel with the "power of your mind." Make physical objects move, twist and curl up like a wet noodle at will. In true Banachek style, each move, gesture and psychological subtlety is covered in detail. This DVD stands alone from Banachek's previous work by presenting new, additional details and methods on bending silverware. This also includes methods of bending coins, keys, nails and spikes plus moving objects like pens and pencils.

The Effect
A radical and new thinker in the world of close-up magic and mentalism. Derren performs forty-five minutes of hardcore mind-reading and close-up hypnosis. Volunteers are slammed into trance-states, achieving bizarre mental connections with each other in some mind blowing routines that are now earning Derren a dynamic reputation. The following effects are performed:
LIFT: A spectator�s arm is immobilised. Then controlled remotely, by the will of another volunteer.
PLEROPHORIA: A deck of cards is thoroughly shuffled by a spectator yet Derren, while facing away, names each card in order.
SMOKE: An incredible routine, where a card that has been merely thought of by a spectator, is first named by Derren then disappears from an untouched deck only to impossibly appear...well, wait and see.
COIN READING AND BENDING: The date and denomination of a volunteer�s coin, unseen and untouched by Derren, is identified. Then slowly bent at the will of another volunteer.
REMINISCENCE: A hypnotised spectator merely thinks of a memory, a number and a picture. All are then perfectly described in immense detail by both Derren and audience members. This mind-blowing routine is Derren at his very best.
The performance is followed by an explanation of Plerophoria and a demonstration of mentally forcing an imaginary card, plus some extremely valuable discussions on presentation and Derren�s philosophy of �Invisible Compromise�. An immensely useful video for both the budding and established mentalist.
The spectator thinks of anything. A name. A number. A memory. With the thought in mind, the spectator squeezes your wrist. Tightly.
When the spectator releases, red marks appear on your arm where they were squeezing. These marks of blood under the skin then slowly, visually, clearly re-arrange themselves into the shape of the spectator's selection. Seeing is believing.

The Effect
Considered to be one of the most influential names in magic today, Criss Angel built his career by having a visionary approach and groundbreaking material.
Now for the first time ever, it�s available to you, in his exclusive Criss Angel Mastermind DVD series (volume one).
This effect can be performed Anywhere, Anytime with No special props. That's Right � No Props, No Gimmicks, No Switches and No Set Ups of any kind are required! Borrow a spectator�s signed coin... ask for a can of soda or beer (works with many brands)... then watch their face as their signed coin miraculously penetrates their sealed can, which immediately is heard and seen inside the can. As a matter of fact, the spectator, not the magician, can be the first person to try to remove the coin from the open can when they get home! It�s Completely Clean!
Delve inside Criss Angel Masterminds as Criss and Wayne demonstrate the play-by-play breakdown for you to perform the Quarter Through Soda Can.
Masterminds Volume Two by Criss Angel (Self Levitation)
The Effect
Considered to be the most influential name in magic today, Criss Angel built his career by having a visionary approach and groundbreaking material. Now for the first time ever, it�s available to you, in his exclusive Criss Angel Mastermind DVD series (volume two). The explanation of his most talked about demonstration - Self Levitation - as created by Criss Angel (inspired by a Jacob Spinney concept) and performed by Criss Angel on his critically acclaimed A&E television series MINDFREAK.
Criss teaches everything you need to know about this modern day miracle; step-by-step instructions on the method, how to construct it (gimmick materials needed can be purchased locally for approximately $ 125) and how to perform it. Levitate up to a chair, on an escalator, in the street, on stage, anywhere! This demonstration can be performed in close proximity to a single spectator or to an audience on stage. Levitations can cost thousands of dollars; now you can create Criss Angel's version for almost nothing!
Four cards are shown-- cleanly, clearly, and naturally-- to your spectators. They're the four aces, the most esteemed cards in the deck.
In your hands, the cards are brought together in one pile. With a snap, the cards are spread once more-- slowly. One of the cards, without even a flinch, has reversed itself.
In the Ninja Series you will learn how to create powerful effects that only a small number of people even know about, or do. Get rid of "white noise" of shops selling stuff that doesn't teach you magic with razor-hot impact.
Ninja-2 teaches the moves a street fighter uses... with cards. It allows you go into battle with anyone and win it hands down.
In fact, Weapons give you such an unfair edge over your poor spectator - it's almost a bad thing.
The moves are subtle though... it's all about being - and looking - casual. Disarm your opponent with your own body language and mannerisms. Watch Brad work. You don't win the battle by beating someone over the head, you win it... all the time, every time - with subtlety.
In addition to teaching an enormous number of killer moves, hear Brad Christian's strict advice on:
- nerves in front of people... how to get over them fast
- exactly what to do when you get a tough customer: when they heckle, when they touch what they shouldn't, when they burn your hands with their eyes.
- how to have superior misdirection. What to use and when.
- cold facts about angles - what you must face in order not to get caught.
- why you should be using any means necessary to create an effect, and why simpler is ten times better than difficult.
Revolution is such a thrill to perform that you will stand in front of your mirror just watching yourself do it and not believing what you are seeing â?????? every time.
No threads, no pulls, no loops, no magnets. No sleeves. Whatever you're thinking it is, it isn't that.
POPULAR QUESTIONS
Q: Am I clean at the end?
A: So clean you don't have the coin anymore.
Q: How fast is it to set up?
A: About two seconds â?????? if you're slow.
The illusion has stumped every professional who has seen it, yet you will be performing Revolution with ease.
Imagine possessing the ability to take ANY borrowed coin, any borrowed glass, and visually cause the coin to penetrate through the glass at a moment's notice.

more that are even better. Vanish on the side, Vanish in front, Vanish with your arms as far away from your body as possible. And thatâ??????s just the basics...
Never has this effect been taken to this high of a level. Truly the way a vanish SHOULD look.
It doesn't stop there as you will learn a completely new way to perform "Lethal Tender", a favorite of many
magicians. You'll learn how to turn a borrowed half dollar into a sponge ball and much much more.
If youâ??????re a fan of "Melt", you'll absolutely love "GONE"

In September of 2002, Jay Sankey and Richard Sanders began video corresponding, sending rough magic ideas and handlings back and forth between Toronto and Montreal. During the next year and a half they included many of the routines in their professional performances while continuing to refine the handlings and swap ideas. Then in January of 2004 Richard and Jay met in Montreal for a series of intense marathon sessions during which they stopped only to grab a shower, some pizza, and buy more decks of cards. During this same 72-hour period they taped the material that makes up this very special double volume DVD.
The "Sankey/Sanders Sessions" features 21 astonishing close-up effects along with hilarious improvisations and thought provoking interview segments. It is also a fascinating, timeless document of two master sleight-of-hand magicians who have been close friends for over twenty years.

Volume Two - Close-Up Mentalism
Perhaps the most intimate form of entertainment that can be presented in public. It requires a delicate interplay in order to achieve a balance between the charming and the disquieting. This is material designed for very small groups, or even working one - on - one. This video features a range of commercial Close - Up Mentalism. No pre - show work, no secret assistance; this is practical material for the solo performer, using subtle and unusual methods that are as fascinating as the effects they produce. You'll learn:
* Shape - Up (Previously Unrevealed) - One card has been removed from as ESP deck. A person is invited to deal through the rest of the pack, turning cards face - up one by one and stopping at any time. The stopped - at symbol is the same as on the card that was previously set aside.
* Changeling - A pleasingly simple routine using a handful of ordinary coins, in which the mentalist successfully predicts precisely how many coins will be selected by the spectator.
* Isolation - The participant chooses which of several unprepared magazines will be used. That is opened to a random page, from which a random word is noted while the performer's head is turned away. In a convincing telepathic display, the mentalist extracts the word from the person's mind
* Key To The Future - An amiable variation on the classic "Seven Keys to Baldpate" effect using an ungimmicked padlock and several keys, only one of which can open the lock. This time it is the spectator whose psychic abilities are tested. Will the working key be located - and will the performer know the outcome in advance?
* Symbalance (Previously Unrevealed) - A standard pack of ESP symbol cards is employed along with two participants. The mentalist divines the first person's thought - of design. He then discerns the second person's symbol with an offbeat demonstration of "tactile intuition.";
* Positive Negative - A lesson in spectator management in the form of an engaging bit of prognostic pantomime with a baffling payoff. Better yet, it's completely impromptu - you an do it with a moment's notice, using borrowed items.
* The Hawk - Another impossible card routine from the "Birds of Prey" series. Two spectators select and replace cards while the performer's back is turned. They also shuffle the deck. Nevertheless, the mentalist deals through the face - down pack and stops on one selection, then tops that by promptly naming the other.
