The card book I have been hinting at finally arrived from the printer. It is Gary Ouellet’s best-selling book ProControl. This is the fourth edition and includes an additional chapter with a fantastic flourishy card control.
The ProControl Card is a simple gimmick you can make in a few seconds and use instead of a crimp, break, or key card. It is so simple that you will likely be disappointed with the secret but once you start using it you will change your mind.

When Gary first showed me the ProControl Card I liked it, but I was already using breather cards or other similar types of crimps. But there was something special about this type of gimmick. I never felt more confident when cutting to it. It was the easiest key card I ever handled, and it was 100% dependable, I never had to worry about missing and never had to check if I cut to the correct location.
►ProControl:
ProControl is a simple secret that will allow you to control selected cards at will. A beginner can learn ProControl in minutes and a professional will use ProControl because of its ease of use that enables you to concentrate on the other aspects of your performance. Forget about crimps, finger breaks, or other traditional methods. This method is easy and guaranteed to work 100% of the time.
As a special bonus you are taught the deviously simple Gilles Couture Swivel Cut Control that will allow you to control cards to the top of the deck within a simple flourish.

Just got a shipment of Ted Bogusta’s Holesome Coins that continue to sell out. At the moment around half of the sets have been sold to the magicians who signed up for notifications.
►Holesome Coins: Japanese Edition:
The basic routine involves three coins. A Japanese coin with a hole in it, a small African coin with a hole in it, and a Walking Liberty silver half dollar. The first phase begins with an impossible single coin transposition, followed by an even more impossible two for one coin transposition, with a final phase where the silver coin jumps back from your pocket, is used to vanish the two other coins, and can be handed out for examination.
Comes complete with a special set of gimmicked coins, matching regular coins, and access to the online video tutorials and as a special bonus you will get an additional tutorial by Meir Yedid.
