The demand for my latest release was much better than I anticipated. I think it is because of the trailer. If you have not seen it, check it out: HERE

Good news, the self-working electronic Dice Predictions arrived from Japan last week and are now available to ship. You can read what I previously wrote about them: HERE

I also just picked up some very nice magic wands which are actually cases for Sharpie markers. Similar to the popular Sherpas, with one major exception. Unlike the Sherpas which are not airtight and allow the Sharpies to dry out, these use an embedded cap and should last forever.

Was also able to create a PDF of one of the booklets I purchased from Ray Goulet a million years ago. It is Steve Dacri’s thoughts on the 52on1 gag card.

►Coin Clip:

Christian Scherer redesigned the original Slydini Coin Clip in the 1980s, to make it much easier to handle and the perfect size for four half dollars. It also allows for more natural handlings.

The video tutorial is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever presented. It includes many of the common methods as well as little known applications for close-up and stage. Subjects include: Coin Insertions (7 methods), Hand Steals (6 methods), Hand To Hand Toss, Lapping (4 methods), Almost Perfect Vanish, Sleeving (2 methods), Topit, NOW-U-IT Vanish, Pull (3 methods), Pendulum Principle/Upside-Down Topit (2 Methods), Baby Bottle Nipple, Silly Putty, and much more.

The new clip is made of stainless steel and can comfortably hold four half dollars (tension can also be adjusted for similar thickness coin stacks). The new design also has a couple of strategically placed holes that allow you to use it with a pull or a loop.

►Dice Prediction:

This is a completely self-working mentalism routine that does all the work for you. It has built-in advanced technology that senses what the spectator does and transmits it to the prediction.

The routine begins by introducing a photograph that is incased in a plastic frame that is placed face down in full view. You explain that it is your prediction.

You hand a spectator a small wooden box, its lid, and a clear casino die. The spectator thinks of a number between one and six and places the die with that number up in the box and closes it. They can then cover the box with their hands, so you never touch it or get close to it.

When the picture is turned over it is seen to be a scene with a die in the middle and the die is showing the thought-of number.

Everything is examinable at the end, and the props are automatically set for your next performance.

►Sharpie Wand:

This is an exceptionally well-made magic wand that can be used as a Sharpie Marker to have items signed.

Unlike the popular Sherpa Shells that go over Sharpies to make them elegant, the cap on the wand is airtight and will not dry up the markers like the Sherpas. It has an original Sharpie cap fused into the tip so it will not dry out.

It is made of high-quality anodized aluminum and powder coated to create a scratch resistant finish. The Sharpie is also replaceable.

►52on1 Gag Card Tricks:

This small booklet was originally released by Steve Dacri under the name “Tricks With Gag Card.”

It features ten routines and ideas using the well-known “52 on 1” gag card where all 52 cards are displayed on a single playing card.

Steve Dacri explains why he likes to use the gag card, “For any performer, on the stage or close-up, comedy is always desirable. I don’t care what type of magic you do, if you add laughs to your show, the audience will enjoy you so much more. …Everybody likes to laugh and usually will laugh at sight gags more than anything else.”

Stay happy, Meir

PS: I don’t usually use a magic wand but many of my friends utilize it for misdirection and because it makes concealing stuff in your hand much easier and more deceptive. A hand palming an object seems much more innocent if it is holding something.

PS2: If you did not watch my interview, to learn how I think, you can catch it: HERE

“It is unwise to disclose the workings of a magic effect, for once the secret of a trick is known to others, the fun, entertainment, amusement and mystery have departed therefrom.”
…David Robbins (102 E-Z Magic Tricks, 1944)
