Meir’s Muses
MyMagic eNewsletter #1,065
December 17, 2022
Since my weekend newsletter is mostly read by different magicians than my midweek newsletter I wanted to, once again, highlight my new book release. Around 25% of the print run sold on Tuesday.
I was also surprised how many people told me they regularly perform the Finger On The Card. The version in the book has been greatly improved since the first printing and includes a very deceptive and easy card control.
►Camirand Academy’s Masters Of Magic Series:
This is your chance to learn some classics of magic like a Ring On String routine, the Three Shell Game, Coins Through The Table, a Two Cup & Ball routine, a Torn & Restored Card, and much more magic and sleight of hand with cards and coins.
Routines include: Finger On The Card, Supershells, The Silver Passage, The Two Goblets, Threshold, The Homing Ring, Eric DeCamps’ The Coin Connection, and Meir Yedid’s Royal Takeover.
The above routines are just the main effects taught. Each section is full of variations, alternate phases, and many techniques. This book can act as a course in intermediate to advanced close-up magic.

►BACK IN STOCK:
►Gift Boxes Illusion:
There is a very famous optical illusion with an illustration of two different sized and shaped boxes where one looks larger than the other. But when the tops of the boxes are measured, they turn out to be identical.
In an effort to make the illusion play as a magic routine and to be able to present it standing up, the new artwork was placed on a steel board and the lids of the boxes were made into magnets. This allows you to visually demonstrate the illusion and take credit for the magic.

►Fishy Fish:
This is a self-working and very deceptive puzzle where you show a picture of a fish that runs across three postcards. The cards are mixed so they are obviously out of order.
You turn the cards face down for a moment and when they are turned face up the fish is reassembled as it was before the mixing.
If you are not familiar with the principle involved, you will be fooled the first time you see it.

Stay happy, Meir
PS: I only printed a small number of the hardcovers (150). Although I don’t plan on making more, it is a possibility, if there is sufficient demand, but will likely never be more than 200 total.
“I always hesitate when it comes to writing a description of the effect. Here is where many readers quit reading: if the description is not sufficiently intriguing, many will postpone the effort in continuing.”
