MyMagic eNewsletter #1,441
October 3, 2026
I had an entire coin issue of this newsletter ready to go when I got three items in the mail that have consistently sold out since August. Wanted to highlight them again so you do not miss out.
They are: Card Table Artifice For Conjurors, Crazy Eyes II, and Neutrino. I will write about each one separately below with additional info and links. If you plan to attend my show on Sunday at the Mohegan Sun Casino, I will be happy to perform Neutrino and my favorite routine from Jamie’s book.
Also added a bunch of books to my eBay Auctions. Links below.
This book, which I had Jamie Masterson autograph for you, has created a buzz among serious card magicians with the many new routines and techniques that are explained for the first time. Jack Carpenter just demonstrated one of the new false shuffles on his YouTube channel: HERE.
►Card Table Artifice For Conjurors:
This comprehensive volume explores intermediate and advanced sleight-of-hand techniques, psychology, and refined handlings of classic and modern card magic routines designed to fool even the most experienced magicians.
You will learn elegant and deceptive methods including false table shuffles and cuts, palms, switches, forces, deck switches, stacking methods, reverses, false deals, displays, card controls and much more. Featuring more than 120 items including more than 50 powerful routines ranging from impromptu mental effects to sophisticated demonstrations of gambling skill and advanced card artistry, all explained with exceptional clarity and attention to detail.
Praised by respected card experts, Card Table Artifice For Conjurors is an essential addition to the library of any serious card worker seeking stronger methods, deeper thinking, and more refined deception.

This packet trick has sold many more copies than we expected. The only sleight involved that you may not be familiar with is the Omega Count. It is basically the first card from the Busby Jordan Count followed by an Elmsley Count. It is a great way to count three surfaces as five. If you look at the trailer it is the very first count in the routine.
►Crazy Eyes II:
A great packet trick by Jack Carpenter and Jamie Masterson that has many surprises that gradually lead to an unexpected ending that will fool and entertain.
You begin by talking about the famous Gorilla Experiment video where players pass around a basketball and watchers are asked to count the number of times the ball is passed. After watching the video people are surprised to find that they did not see a large gorilla walk through the players, pound his chest and then walk off. You then explain that the video was a research project on “Inattentional Blindness” and you will try to replicate the experiment with playing cards.

I am having so much fun performing this for people. I am also very surprised at how many I sold, considering the price. After selling out of my third shipment I decided to buy all the ones they had left. I believe they will make one more small run and that would probably be it for the routine since redoing the setup on the various machines would be too costly to reproduce. You can watch a no-frills performance of the routine: HERE
►Neutrino:
A Precision Penetration Puzzle that is made of stainless steel. Self-working and can be done surrounded.
You begin with a twelve-piece puzzle that is made of heavy half-inch, stainless-steel pieces. You and your friend assemble the pieces into a solid, impenetrable block that is around the size of a deck of cards.
The block is slid into an examinable heavy-plastic case that has a slit running through it. You then insert a playing card right through the slit and the stainless-steel block that was just built. The card is moved around and even inserted lengthwise! Once your friend removes the card from the block the puzzle is removed from its case and all the pieces are separated showing the impossibility that was just created.

►eBay:
I will continue to try adding 2-4 new items per day on my eBay store and auctions (if I am in town). Some great, some good, some OK, but all reasonable. I also decided not to worry about when they end, so it could be on any day and at any time. But I do have around 400 items listed as “buy now.” Many of them are, in my opinion, collectible and not found anywhere else. Feel free to browse around and don’t forget to follow me.

Stay happy, Meir
PS: Trying to add books to eBay daily is much harder than anticipated since every time I pick up a book, I end up looking through it, skimming, reading and pulling quotes for future newsletters… But it is also enjoyable and educational! Last night I read Walter Gibson complaining that he invented Nickles To Dimes and how everyone is knocking it off without credit.
