Michael Rubinstein’s Conviction Prediction sold out immediately last week, so he brought me some more over lunch before leaving for his magic convention appearance. He also just shot a live performance for us, you can watch it: HERE

I also updated the inventory of his Migrate and autographed books if you missed them before.

Below you will find a card reveal that is unique since it can be presented as a necklace, key chain, pendulum, etc… before it transforms into the card reveal.

►Talisman:

Talisman is plastic object that transforms into the shape of a heart and has the number ten engraved in it. It is basically and card reveal for the selected Ten of Hearts.

What makes it special is that untransformed, it can be worn as a Talisman or pendant on a necklace, can be used as a pendulum, a keychain, or even passed out as car remote.

The rectangular trinket can be visually turned into the 10H, secretly turned into a 10H as you put it in a spectator’s hand and can be transformed while in your fist or as you put it somewhere.

►Conviction Prediction:

This is a mentalism/coincidence routine using coins and Poker chips.

You begin by displaying three Poker chips and letting three friends select one for themselves. You then show them four small envelopes containing four different coins and they select one of those as well. Throughout the process you give them a chance to change their mind because they are all free choices.

The envelopes are now opened revealing the different coins that were inside. You then reveal the surprise ending.

Even though they had every opportunity to switch chips and envelopes… when the chips are turned over, you show that they have permanent photographs of the matching selected coins embedded in them. Everything is now examinable.

►The April issue of Genii magazine had a nice review of the last book we published. Meaningful Conjuring by Ed Solomon. The review has been added to the product page for you to read.

Wanted to also remind you that the softcover edition is now available at most of the best magic companies around the world as well as on Amazon worldwide.

►Meaningful Conjuring:

Ed Solomon was a master storyteller who used magic to emphasize the point or moral of his stories. He wanted his magic to appeal to the intellect and touch the soul of his audiences, or as he put it: “People may not remember my name or the magic that I performed, but they will remember how it made them feel.”

Between 2004 and 2015 Ed wrote 125 columns in The Linking Ring magazine that featured short stories that used simple magic to highlight their messages. All those columns are included in this book along with some bonus tricks, essays, and more.

►BACK IN STOCK:

►Four Nightmares DX:

This is a beautiful rope routine created by Mr. Suzuki that uses a special set of gaffed ropes. With these ropes and very little effort you will be able to present a routine that you will carry with you for both stage and close-up performances.

This edition features five phases where two unequal ropes stretch to the same size, they are tied together and merge into one rope, a knot is tied in the center and visually slid off, another larger knot is formed and slid off to form a loop, as a finale the loop and rope meld together into one rope.

“Not only should you practice a trick before you do it but you should also plan your ‘patter’ carefully, as the words spoken while performing are just as important as the trick itself.”
