Straight forward prop with a punch

This is a single domino from Alan’s earlier years that allows you to do the "sucker move" with the colors on the dots. White becomes blue and back to white again, all behind your back. Well, that’s simple enough till someone asks you to turn over the domino and a rainbow of colors greets them. Nice idea and a cute pocket trick. I like it. Art Emerson years ago apparantly came up with a routine incorporating this item with Do-Mini-O and actually sold the two as a set but, unfortunately, I am not aware of his ideas.

Cute and quite devious

This is a nice little piece from Alan. I always try to figure out the method on any effect I order, but this one surprised me. Not as strong as his other stuff, but then his other stuff is fabulous. I can visualize a very entertaining outcome with just the right presentation. I love teak and this one shows that classic Warner touch.

Simple and Effective Penetration

This clever piece of Mini-Magic represents the completion of my Alan Warner Mini-Magic collection that can be viewed in all its glory here. It is a old chestnut, and one of Alan’s earliest Teak pieces, but very well made by the master craftsman himself.

In this version there are no funny moves or sleights. The block is loaded, the bar locks the block in place, and then on the command of the magician the block falls!

Its nice to complete the collection Alan, thanks for making it all possible!

Great Encyclopedia

This is just what you get, an Encyclopedia alphabetically ordered by the object used. There are really a lot of effects and puzzles and jokes the greatest part very easy but only a little part of them is really good you should choose them yourself. Finally a very good book, knowing some impropmtu magic is a must for every performer. Another good thing is that there are a hundreds of principles and ideas you can use to create new effects.

Great new mental effects

If you are looking for new mental effects to add your act you can try this book. There are many effects and ideas but not all are so good.
But two or three worth the whole price of the book (cheap for a book like this). There is a method for knowing how many coins from a can will a man pick up; one of the greatest predictions ever where a billet is sealed in a inflated balloon and burst by the spectator himself reveailing whatever prediction you want; there is even a chapter with three methods of the famous" Any card at any number".
Very good book

Easy to do and very convincing.

This is a very clean and logical red and blue card trick that has shades of that old chestnut the Brainwave Deck, but which is easier to do, cleaner, and can be repeated.

You start by shuffling the deck face down. As you shuffle you and your audience notice that one card has a blue back. You say that is the Lone Stranger card. You place the stranger card on the top of the deck and turn the deck over to ask the audience to point to any of the face-up cards. They choose any card and it is immediately shown to be matching the blue Stranger card. Without any funny moves the effect can be repeated immediately.

Very clean and simple to do, just the way we like them so you can focus on that all important presentation and routine!

I’ve always been fascinated by Magic Squares

Ever since I was a teen I have been fascinated with Magic Square type effects, where any chosen number can be summed in almost every conceivable direction.

This is a perfect outfit for this effect with a method that takes a little bit of memory work, but which is far from requiring the mathematical genius that it appears to need.

And don’t you just love the magic that makes you look like a genius?!
