Below you will find exclusive booklets by Steve Beam and David Solomon and some interesting sponges.
In the Beam booklet there is a routine called “Five Spot” which can be a tremendous reputation maker for you if you put in the effort. It does not use any sleight of hand… just sleight of mind.
The Solomon notes have an unpublished Edward Marlo routine that is very interesting and does not use a punch but does require a necktie second deal. The routine is called, “Marlo’s Favorite Demonstration.”
I still have a few of the Stage Size BS Boards available if you haven’t gotten yours yet.
►Card Tricks That Kilt:
This is the lecture booklet Steve put together for the 2019 exclusive Karl LaFong gathering in Glasgow, Scotland. He has since used the routines in this booklet for his lectures around the world.
Routines include: Stebbin’ Out, Progressive Mating Season (VII), Reopening Stab, The Stalker (Steve Beam & Ron Wohl), Final Score, More Than Just A Snappy Dresser, Club Sandwich, Quick Change, Five Spot, Mortality, and Four-Gone Conclusion.

►The Punch Deal Lecture:
In October 2001 at the exclusive El Escorial gathering that is annually produced by Juan Tamariz David Solomon gave a talk about The Punch Deal.
These are the lecture notes he used and sold at the event. They include discussions about The Phantom At The Card Table, Edward Marlo’s Punch Deal, further reading on the subject, an interview with Steve Forte about the Punch Deal, and Edward Marlo’s Favorite Demonstration using a punch deal that is published here for the first time.

►Sponge Emojis:
Emoji have become standardized and are now known and recognized by just about anyone who uses a smartphone. Sponge ball magic has become a standard routine used by close-up magicians worldwide.
The idea of making sponge Emoji is a logical leap of combining both popular items into a unified routine. I just received a few of the Smile Face Sponge Emoji and the Poo Sponge Emoji.
The Emoji sponges can be used with just about any sponge ball routine you already perform, but they might be better utilized as a kicker/surprise ending to an existing routine.

►Stage Size BS Board:
A funny and surprising comedy routine for entertainers.
This is the first time it has been made available for stage performers. Meir Yedid has been closing his stage shows with it for 15+ years and magicians have been begging him to release the stage version.
It is not a magic routine. It is a comedy bit that can be used anytime during a show. In your most sincere voice, you explain why you decided to become a magician by reading the printed board, “Being an entertainer is a unique opportunity which lets me bring joy into your lives…” Once you finish reading the sentiment, fold the B.S. Board as you say, “And I mean that sincerely,” the spectators will slowly notice what the first letter of every line now spells, which will cause hysterical laughter.
