BOOKS & MANUSCRIPTS Carpe Chartaes! $25. The Latin phrase carpe chartaes literally means ‘seize the playing cards’, but there’s a motherlode of rich material for coin workers and mentalists as well! This book contains eighty pages of original, high-impact, audience-tested routines. Most of these effects are amazingly simple to perform, but there’s plenty to challenge veteran magicians, too. More than thirty-five powerful tricks created by a working pro for the working pro. Edited by Paul Cummins. Commentary by Jon Racherbaumer! Decipiatur! $15. This fine collection of entertaining routines highlights my passion for card magic with a hint of mentalism. Decipiatur (a Latin term meaning ‘fool them!’) offers ten strong miracles ranging from the self-working to the moderately advanced. These effects were field-tested before tough crowds in my street-performing days in the mid-80’s. Cards & Curiosities $15. Unusual feats of mentalism using ordinary props and pasteboards are packed into this volume. You’ll go Out On A Limb and find the only card trick that doesn’t use cards—or experience California ZipCode, one of the most disturbing, yet topical tricks ever. Looking for a new move? Check out the CardWorker Shift--a beautiful sleight that just might change the way you control cards. Commentary by Roger Crosthwaite! Card Worker $15. The sleight of hand is minimal, but the impact is high with every trick in this book. Each routine focuses on audience participation while mystifying every soul in the room. The performance essays and useful sleights provide something for every magician within these pages. Included is the bonus coin routine Chapman On The Fly—the easiest fingertip-coins-across effect you’ll ever learn! Worthy Ambitions $10. Finally, an Ambitious Card routine with a plot the audience can easily follow! By combining well-known sleights and classic effects with new twists and ideas, working pros tell me that Worthy Ambitions is a fun, show-stopping routine for cardworkers on the rise! Professional Pitch Routines $3 each or all 4 for $10. Since the mid-seventies, I have pitched and sold countless packs of Svengali Decks, Sponge Balls, Hot Rods and Mental Photography Cards. Over the years, bits and pieces of these carefully-scripted routines have been borrowed by magic shop demonstrators across the country. Now you can add them to your repertoire! It’s all here, including the bad jokes! Man, Magic & The Word of God $10. For years, I performed In The Wink Of An Eye—a gospel show that took me throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. This manuscript is a scholarly study of the Bible and clearly defines the differences between theatrical magic and occult magic in terms even a layman would understand. Plus, bonus gospel effects are included for those who wish to practice what they preach.
