Had a chance to add 30 items to my eBay auctions. 10 expire tonight and the other 20 tomorrow. Direct link to the auctions: HERE

Also wanted to let you know that David Solomon’s Mind, book I just released is now available on Amazon worldwide (just search for “Solomon’s Mind” and look for the correct cover). A link to purchase in the US is: HERE

The devious method that is used in the new item below may be familiar to some of you. I first encountered it during the last century when Harry Lorayne was playing with it, before he put it on the cover of Apocalypse. Since then, there have been many marketed and published versions. The one below is very interesting since it does not use playing cards for the reveal. Instead, it is a photograph of cards that is folded and ripped by your friend and still delivers the forced selections.

I am also introducing you to a little known Kreskin book that is full of interesting stories and opinions. Many of which I heard him discuss over the years. The one I never heard of was a Jack Paar mentalism performance that used a method that has now been adapted to the internet.

►Fated Fold:

A sneaky method is built into a printed sheet of paper which reveals two selected cards.

You begin by showing a piece of paper with many cards printed on both sides of it. You then have one or two spectators select specific cards from a deck.

The sheet is then handed to one or both to fold any way they like, backwards or forwards, until the sheet is folded into the shape of a single card.

Using a pair of scissors you then cut all the sides of the folded packet, creating sixteen paper playing cards. When the cards are spread, they are all face up except for two.

The two facedown cards remarkably match the two original selections.

►Kreskin Confidential:

Subtitled as “The World’s Greatest Mentalist Speaks Out” the book features Kreskin’s thoughts and opinions about many subjects including his career, the people he met and befriended, inside information about events he was privy to, the history of live entertainment as it transitioned to television, mentalism, and he will even teach you some magic.

Chapters include: You’re Getting Warmer…!, The Great Escapist, The “Magic” Of Television, Above Paar, All’s Well That Ends Welles, You Are Not Getting Sleepy…!, My Checkered Past, Tricks Of The Trade, The Adventures Of Kreskin Act One, The Adventures Of Kreskin Act Two, and B(u)y The Book.

►Solomon’s Mind:

This is David Solomon’s first book. It features more than forty of his original card routines and dozens of the techniques used within those routines. It is full of novel handlings and ideas that you will be able to apply to other card effects in your repertoire.

A nice feature of the book is Eugene Burger’s input on the routines and the many insightful interviews with David about the magicians he grew up with in the Chicago area, and the stormy controversies that developed.

As a special bonus you also get access to an online video where David Solomon performs ten of his favorite routines from the book.

►BACK IN STOCK:

The Rainbow Cards are currently being used by many of the pro and hobbyist magicians. It has also been used on television countless times. I just received many new force cards. As camera technology keeps changing you should read this for some tips: HERE

►Rainbow Phantom Card:

The card is examinable, but when photographed, the photograph in the spectator’s smart phone appears to have turned into the spectator’s selection.

The strongest and most important part of all the routines is that you are using the spectator’s phone to take pictures. The spectator’s face is always framed with the reveal.
