"My favorite part is when magicians' faces go from I-know-that-trick to I-HATE-YOU."
I've been waiting YEARS for this. Oh boy do I love it... I can't wait for you to see it. The beginner's "jumping rubber band" is my #1 FAVORITE trick to teach new magicians, and this trick gives me a PRO version to fool the crap out of them after they learn it and think they're hot stuff. Is that a little too kung-fu-master of me? Yes.
My eyes popped out of my head when I saw this trick. It's what you've seen before.. ON STEROIDs.
A rubber band is wrapped around your 2 fingers. And in a flash, with no finger movement, it jumps to your other 2 fingers... then back AGAIN... AND AGAIN?!?!?!? YES. This is where magicians (even experienced ones) start to cry.
PROFESSIONALS: The basic beginner jumping rubber band is in every single beginner magic book in existence. You will LOVE the looks on peoples' faces when they go from "I've seen this before.." to "HOOOOOOOLY CRAP"
What happens when a genius like Woody Aragon puts his attention on a principle as powerful as the Si Stebbins stack? The answer: Magic.
This is a must-have series for anyone interested in strong, entertaining and impossible card magic, regardless of whether you’re familiar with the stack or not.
In volume one of Woody on Stebbins, the Spanish master will talk you through the history of the stack, its many properties (some of which you will never have thought of) as well as three wonderful routines.
In volume two of the series, Woody takes the stack to its creative limits, utilising it for effects as diverse as a birthday trick, a simple yet powerful poker demonstration, and even a book test.
This volume assumes you are already familiar with the basics of Si Stebbins, so the order, setup and properties aren’t covered. If you’re new to the stack then please first check out Volume 1.
Volumethree features an incredible mini show, which starts with the deck being shuffled by a spectator, moves through Si Stebbins stack, and ends in new deck order!
Effects:
Shuffled Divination: A divination effect which allows the spectator to shuffle the cards, yet ends up in Si Stebbins.
Spell of Mystery: A wonderful spelling trick using Si Stebbins, allowing the spectator to make all the decisions yet still spell perfectly to their selection.
Perfect Ritual: A blockbuster routine which Woody himself uses as a closer. The deck is dealt to four spectators who all end up selecting the same value despite freely cutting their cards. The routine ends by showing that each packet has magically arranged itself in perfect order!
The Selenium Shift is a move that Justin Miller has called "The BEST control he's (I've) ever seen!" A move allowing you to control a selected card, anywhere in the deck, to the top. This shift can also move multiple cards, at different depths in the deck, to the top in a blink of an eye. No breaks. No passes. No disturbing the deck order. It's silent, invisible and oh ya... it's all done one handed.
DVD: The Selenium Shift is taught in an over-the-shoulder angle, giving you the best learning experience and an understanding of how the move is done. You are going to learn the basic shift and a total of ten handlings and routines including: - Multiple Shift: Four selections go into four different parts of the deck, and as they are squared up, they instantly appear on top! - Cover Shift: A selected card is squared into the middle of the deck, and is instantly underneath the top card. - Instant Sandwich: A signed card is pushed into the center of the deck and instantly sandwiched between a pair on top of the deck. - Rising Card: A selection is placed face up in the lower part of the deck, and if by magic, the card jumps up through the deck, until it reaches the top. - One Handed: A card is placed in the deck and as soon as you look away, it appears on top of the deck, one handed, with no cover. - Pseudo Center Deal: 4 aces go into the center of the deck, and you effortlessly deal them out onto the table! - The Full Routine: Schizophrenia: A signed selected card routine that has 3 color changes back to back, and inverted deck, ending with a FULL deck color change. All happening in 10 seconds. - Color Change: A buttery color change that just melts one card into another. - Card Vanish: A face up card instantly vanishes on the deck with no movement.
Booklet (In PDF form): In addition, there is also a companion book that teaches another Eight techniques, ideas, and handlings in full detail, with over 50 photos to help you learn. - Shift Half Pass - Instant Card Location - Gestures - Triple Card Color Change - Snap Change Clean Up - Adobo Two Card Production - Clean Color Change
"The best control that I've seen." - Charlie Frye

"*Casshan died... seriously. He dead." - R.I.P. Casshand Wallace

"Is that what's going on?! I can't see you do a thing." - Chris Mayhew
You hand the deck to a spectator and instruct him or her to shuffle the deck and select any card. You instruct them to lose the card into the deck without you touching it in anyway. No funny movements and you are completely clean at this point. The deck is now in their control the entire time. You then instruct the spectator to spell out the selected playing card, with each card dealt representing a letter. Once she does so, the audience will realize that the final letter will be the freely selected card. THIS IS SPELL. -No Gimmicks -No Stacks -Completely impromptu -No gaffs -No forcing -No peeking
The purchase includes an instructional PDF, along with an instructional video tutorial. Shot in 1080p HD, Shin goes over specific moves from multiple angles.

About Juan Tamariz
Juan Tamariz is without a doubt the single most important person in our field today. His thoughts on the art are far and away the most profoundly significant advances happening at present. Not since the Professor, have we had someone look so deeply, see so clearly, or push the art forward so enormously as this great gentleman.
Although only a tiny fraction of his ideas and thoughts have appeared in print in English, what we do have is of immense value. His books, The Five Points in Magic, The Magic Way, Sonata, Verbal Magic, and Mnemonica, are some of the most valuable books in the entire lexicon. Mr. Tamariz also has some video offerings available, most important of which are the films of his excellent lectures. Any opportunity to learn from him will be to your utmost benefit!

The Holy Grail of Mentalists: Any card at any number (ACAAN)
David Berglas is an English magician and mentalist. His secret technique for locating a particular card in a deck has been described as the holy grail of card magic.
D. Berglas ' version meets 4 criteria that no other variant has ever managed to meet. Here they are :
The cards are in plain sight before the routine begins.
A spectator names any card. No companion! The person can freely cite the first card that comes to mind. No restrictions and no forcing!
Another spectator says any number or number between 1 and 52. There too no friend. The choice is free. No restrictions either.
A third person is invited to count the cards up to the chosen number, and to turn it over: this is the card named by the first spectator! The magician never touches the cards.
This effect was exclusive to David Berglas . Till date it has never been sold by any trick dealer in the world. It was never available on the internet either.
From now on, this mythical routine will have no more secrets for you thanks to this book.
You receive: - The book (in French) - 3 original DVDs (in English)
Hardcover + 500 pages
