When I first saw the trailer for Mario Lopez’ Missing Finger, I knew I had to get one. It is a simple gimmick that allows you to apparently remove the center of your index finger.
Like all gimmicked finger tricks, you should customize the gimmick to match your skin tone (which is explained in the tutorial). I would also recommend looking into fake nails to glue on it. But it does not have to be perfect since it is only seen for a few seconds. The size of the gimmick is made for small to medium size fingers. If you wear XL-gloves you will need to make one using a large fake finger.
►Missing Finger:
Remove the middle of your finger and put it back with this visual effect.
It is a quick visual based on the classic children’s method of removing the tip of your finger. The supplied gimmick allows you to seemingly remove the center of your finger, and then put it back, leaving your hands examinable.

►Liberty Vanish 1.1:
This is a terrific visual that has been improved to be done inside a clear bag that will allow you to hand it out for examination in the end.
The visual effect begins by showing a postcard with of the Statue Of Liberty pictured on the front. With a flick of the finger or a wave of the hand the statue completely disappears, and the postcard can be shown on both sides and your hands are empty. If you decide to use the new handling inside a clear plastic bag you will also be able to hand the bagged card for examination.

►ProControl:
ProControl is a simple secret that will allow you to control selected cards at will. A beginner can learn ProControl in minutes and a professional will use ProControl because of its ease of use that enables you to concentrate on the other aspects of your performance. Forget about crimps, finger breaks, or other traditional methods. This method is easy and guaranteed to work 100% of the time.
As a special bonus you are taught the deviously simple Gilles Couture Swivel Cut Control that will allow you to control cards to the top of the deck within a simple flourish.

►BACK IN STOCK:
One of the items that sold out in minutes a few months ago was a new take on the pen through bill gimmick. You can read what I originally wrote about it: HERE
Also back in stock is the ever popular and fooler Zodiac Coin.
►The Gifted Pen:
Gifted Pen takes the classic pen-through-anything effect, offering a level of clarity and naturalness. Unlike traditional gimmicks, Gifted Pen allows you to show the pen openly moments before the penetration occurs and allows you to give it out for examination or as a souvenir at the end. Everything is examinable at the end!
Gifted Pen’s cleverly designed gimmicks can be secretly attached to borrowed (matching Bic pens), allowing for impromptu performances anywhere, anytime.

►Zodiac Coin:
This is an excellent and self-working routine where you apparently read a spectator’s mind by telling them what Zodiac symbol they are thinking of and predict what card they were going to select.
The basic routine (without the procedure) is of having a spectator think of a Zodiac symbol and its number. You then reveal the symbol and show that you predicted the card at the thought-of number.
