If you ever attended any of Steve Beam’s shows or lectures you likely saw him close with his Multiple Impact. It is a complete fooler where a group of selected cards are fairly lost in the deck and are impossibly found by you. It requires no sleight-of-hand, just sleight-of-mind! Steve has been closing his shows with this for 40+ years… Now you can too!

I was also able to get a few more autographed copies of his Through The Trapdoor. Last time they sold out in minutes because of the photo at the end of the trailer, that I recommended ripping out and framing. I’m not sure if I will be able to get any more of them.

►Multiple Impact:

Steve Beam has been closing his shows and his lectures for around 50 years with this multiple selection routine. It does not require any sleight of hand but does require practice and sleight of mind.

The spectators have free choices of the cards they select, and they lose the cards in the deck themselves! You then reveal every selection with 100% accuracy.

Here is how Steve introduced the trick in the booklet: “When I want to fool a large group of magicians, this is the trick I reach for. It is guaranteed to leave those not familiar with it groping for a solution. If I want to entertain a large group of laymen with a card trick, this is the trick I reach for. I have performed it for so long that I have developed bits of business which make it a very entertaining effect for magicians and laymen. I have used it for audiences ranging in size from six to six hundred and I have used it to close my lecture[s].”

►Through The Trapdoor:

This is a very scarce booklet that Steve Beam put together for a private lecture in 2017 in Montreal for the Magic Collector’s Weekend. The full color photo on page 26 (that you can see in the trailer) is in my opinion worthy of framing.

The booklet covers Steve’s journey and thoughts about publishing his long running Trapdoor magazine. Covering the fun stuff throughout the journey, some humorous samples, photographs, cartoons, and a list of all the contributors.

►Dice Prediction:

This is a completely self-working mentalism routine that does all the work for you. It has built-in advanced technology that senses what the spectator does and transmits it to the prediction.

The routine begins by introducing a photograph that is incased in a plastic frame that is placed face down in full view. You explain that it is your prediction.

You hand a spectator a small wooden box, its lid, and a clear casino die. The spectator thinks of a number between one and six and places the die with that number up in the box and closes it. They can then cover the box with their hands, so you never touch it or get close to it.

When the picture is turned over it is seen to be a scene with a die in the middle and the die is showing the thought-of number.

A reminder that the ridiculously low introductory price for this download expires on Tuesday night.

►52on1 Gag Card Tricks:

This small booklet was originally released by Steve Dacri under the name “Tricks With Gag Card.”

It features ten routines and ideas using the well-known “52 on 1” gag card where all 52 cards are displayed on a single playing card.

Steve Dacri explains why he likes to use the gag card, “For any performer, on the stage or close-up, comedy is always desirable. I don’t care what type of magic you do, if you add laughs to your show, the audience will enjoy you so much more. …Everybody likes to laugh and usually will laugh at sight gags more than anything else.”

►Coin Clip:

Christian Scherer redesigned the original Slydini Coin Clip in the 1980s, to make it much easier to handle and the perfect size for four half dollars. It also allows for more natural handlings.

The video tutorial is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever presented. It includes many of the common methods as well as little known applications for close-up and stage. Subjects include: Coin Insertions (7 methods), Hand Steals (6 methods), Hand To Hand Toss, Lapping (4 methods), Almost Perfect Vanish, Sleeving (2 methods), Topit, NOW-U-IT Vanish, Pull (3 methods), Pendulum Principle/Upside-Down Topit (2 Methods), Baby Bottle Nipple, Silly Putty, and much more.

“As you accumulate magic tricks in your arsenal, there are some that you will find you will save for a special occasion. Either they require a lot of setup, nerves of steel, or they have an impact so strong you want to use them where they will be appreciated.”
