Added a teaser video for the Halloween Magic Review show with the entire cast you might enjoy: HERE
You will also find two new products below. A new Mike Bornstein download, and as Switching Wallet I picked up at Magic Live that you have never seen before. It can secretly hold an entire deck of cards for a secret switch or even be used for addons and partial switches. Oh it can also be used to switch similar sized objects!
Mike Bornstein, who started out as popular nightclub act and stage manipulator eventually left the stage and started creating close-up magic with bills, coins, and cards. What he seemed to enjoy most is taking complicated routines and simplifying the methods so anyone can easily learn and present them.
One such routine is his Gambler’s Cutting Edge where he combined a Triumph with an Ace cutting sequence. It is today’s download. In addition to his performance and explanation I decided to add my own quick teach-in for additional clarity.
►Gambler’s Cutting Edge:
This is an easy card routine that simulates some otherwise difficult and popular sequences. It is a combination of a Triumph routine and a four-ace cutting routine.
You begin by shuffling the cards a few times and then shuffling them face up and face down. You then cut to three face-down cards and toss them to one side. You give the deck a final cut and when the deck is spread face down all the cards are now facing the same way… except for an Ace. When the three previously tossed cards are revealed, they are seen to be the other three Aces. Everything is examinable at the end.

►L Deck Switch Wallet:
This is an innovation in wallet designs that can hold an entire deck of cards which is hidden from view when placed on the table. Once in your hands it can be used to switch complete decks, packets of loose cards, add a slug of cards to the top of a deck, and even switch other similar sized objects.

►A THING:
I recently purchased some Invisible Decks and Brainwave Decks for a project that never materialized. If you need one here are the links:

►BACK IN STOCK:
I really like Awe Sum. Great tricks, great method, great props. What else can we expect? …and they are back in stock.
►Awe Sum:
You get a 2×2 Rubik type cube with numbers written on the squares. It is actually very difficult to solve a 2×2 cube but luckily you won’t have to do that.
The numbers on the cube are strategically placed so you can use it to perform some very good routines, similar to how dice routines work… but much more deceptively.
You can use the cube for mind reading routines, predictions, forces, and much more. Four routines are taught in the hour-long tutorial but the card at any number is perhaps the best and worth the price of the entire trick.
