MyMagic eNewsletter #1,159
December 9, 2023
Recently while I was working on one of these newsletters there was a fly buzzing around my head, and I kept swatting at it. I later went to my kitchen and the fly was following me, I kept swatting at it. It kept following me, everywhere I went. It took me a few hours to realize that there were no flies around me. My visit to the eye doctor revealed that I now have floaters.
What does that have to do with this newsletter? Nothing. Except that floating objects can create magical moments.
I just received a shipment of Steve Shufton’s Ultimate Floating Match. Both the matchbook, and matchbox versions are now in stock. I also shot a new trailer for them. It is a fun quickie that can create memorable moments.
►Ultimate Floating Match:
This is a self-contained floating match effect that is easy to do and is always ready. There are no hookups or external forces used. Does not require any setup or reset of any kind. It is always ready to go.
It is based on Ben Harris’ Cosmosis and is endorsed by him. It is offered in two versions. As a matchbook and a matchbox.

►Limited Edition Deluxe:
You show your audience six cards and have them remember just one. They imagine their card fading away. When the cards are respread, the card they merely thought of has faded away to be completely blank on both sides.
In addition to a fresh presentation for the classic routine, you receive The Reversed Edition, Gordon’s incredible new take on his first, unpublished version, as well as additional gimmicks that allow you to perform bonus routines created by Eugene Burger and Dan Harlan.

►Purple Edge Marked Butterfly Cards:
Hidden within the design are clever markings that allow you to perform powerful effects that will have your audience believing that you possess magic powers and expert card skills. You can locate any card by looking at the edges of the deck, you can tell which cards are missing, and identify turned cards.

►OUR LATEST RELEASE:
►Quadruple Spellbound:
Originally created in the 1970s and first published in the 1980s, this was one of Simon Aronson’s favorite routines, that he always carried with him and performed often.
The basic effect: You show an American half dollar. You wave your hand over it, and it changes into a Japanese coin with a hole through it. Wave your hand over the Japanese coin and it changes into a copper English penny. Wave your hand over the penny and it changes into an African coin with a hole in it. As a finale, the African coin changes back into the American half dollar.
In addition to the custom-made set of gaffed coins you also get a video tutorial with Simon Aronson performing and explaining his original handling, Meir Yedid teaching his versions of the Quadruple Spellbound, and Sol Stone teaching his Patriotic Poker Chips.
