Many of you know that I love puzzles disguised or at least presented as magic. One of my favorites was Heavy Handed which I collaborated with Charlie Frye on. It was based on the Charpentier Illusion. Might still re-release it one day.

Below you will find an interesting version of it that includes many presentational scripts.

►Baffling Blocks:

This is a set of three blocks (approx. 4”x2”x1”) designed to present the classic Charpentier Illusion where the weight of one block is much more than the weight of three blocks lifted together. It creates an eerie feeling on the spectator who is involved.

The PDF includes many different presentations for this classic scientific puzzle. Routines include: Pseudo Hypnosis, Our Senses Fool Us, Séance and Bizarre Magic, Quantum Mechanics, A Couple In Love, Proof of Faeries, Alien Technology, and several others. What is also nice is that presentational scripts are also included for each routine.

►Tipnician:

Bob Chesbro originally published this book after many magicians started performing his routines for each other without crediting. Those routines started being associated with the performers instead of him. That is when his friends convinced him to put out the book.

Although many of the routines in this book employ thumbtips, the applications are nothing like what you would expect. Bob used to fool many magicians with these routines because they never suspected the tip. You will learn magic using coins, cards, folding coins, pens, salt, purse frames, hats, tobacco, and cigarettes.

►Candy Vault:

This is a quick and easy visual where a blue Tic Tac is placed on top of its clear box that is full of white Tic Tacs and it penetrates through, so it is inside. It can also be done in reverse, so the blue TicbTac penetrates out of the box and into your hand.

The Tic Tac box you get is not gimmicked so you can move everything from inside it to any container that houses similar looking candies.

►MY LATEST RELEASE:

►Coin Copier:

The basic routine involves a metal box which is referred to as a tiny counterfeiting machine. You dump the four coins out of the box; a Japanese coin, a Swiss coin, a British coin and a US coin. Using the Japanese coin as a sample each coin is placed in the box and one at a time, as the box is waved over the Japanese coin, the coin inside instantly turns into a duplicate of the Japanese coin. This is repeated until all four coins have turned into Japanese coins and everything is examinable.

PS: Four of the new releases for live have collapsed over the past few weeks. Working hard on getting some neat exclusive stuff though… and two new items.
