"Factory
Seconds " (click
here for video demo)
A blank deck
of cards mysteriously develops first faces, and then backs. As a kicker,
the deck reverts back to being blank again! (This is all the magic
of the "Mental Photography" deck without the unavoidable
problems associated with a rough/smooth deck! No more troublesome
flashes.) Includes beginner and advanced handlings, photo-illustrated
11-page manuscript and custom-crafted deck. $29.95 plus shipping.

Card "

And in Mark My Words: Lecture Notes from
a Working Professional:
"Anniversary
Lambada"
Mark's take on the classic Anniversary Waltz
is so good that Doc Eason himself said, "Your version of the
Waltz is fabulous ... it is too good! I don't know if the masses even
know how good it is!" Imagine performing this classic effect,
but completely in the hands! Now, no table is necessary! Works with
gaffs suplied in "Yin-Yang Cards," above. $20 plus shipping.
"Gone,
Gone, Going"
The effect with which Mark opened his performance
at 4F. It got audible gasps from an audience of his peers! Imagine
introducing a deck of cards still in its cellophane case, the seal
still intact. In an instant, the box vanishes off the deck, leaving
only loose cards in your hands! The box is seen to have jumped to
your jacket pocket. In the next instant, the deck has now vanished!
Finally, the box, still in plain sight, is seen to have shrunk down
to a third of its original size with NO VISIBLE MEANS! You can even
open the newly shrunken box and remove a miniature deck of cards!
This really fools 'em. $20 plus shipping.
"Fast
Food"
Here, you have a card freely selected and
then lost into the center of the deck. The spectators examine the
two Jokers, which you insert face up into two widely separated parts
of the deck. The deck is spread to demonstrate that the Jokers are,
in fact, perhaps 25 cards or more apart. With the deck squared, a
spectator waves his hand over the deck and, without so much as a move,
you spread the deck to reveal the Jokers have joined in the middle
of the deck, creating an "instant sandwich" (get it? fast
food?!) around one face-down card, which turns out to be their selected
card. No gaffs; everything can be inspected before and after the effect.
$10 plus shipping.
"Sobriety
Test"
This is a quick bit of fun that can get
everybody at the table involved. Magician quips that he wants to be
sure the spectator can observe what he's doing, so he offers to administer
a little sobriety test. Magician gives four face-up cards to spectator
(or several spectators, if desired), and even takes four face-up cards
himself. Magician demonstrates simple-to-understand instructions with
the cards, but no one seems to be able to follow them! Despite the
fairness of the do-as-I-do example, the spectators always seem to
mix up the cards! Very funny and easy to do. Works with gaffs suplied
in "Siamese Card," above. $10
plus shipping.
"Spectator
Cuts to the Aces a la Zacharia"
Mark's take on a classic effect wherein the
spectator finds the Aces in a shuffled pack. $10 plus shipping. Click
here to see a video demo!
"Who
Wants to be a Millionaire?"
You explain you are authorized to provide
a cash prize to the spectator who thinks of the "right"
card. You put your envelope with a check inside it down on the table
and in sight. The spectator names the card he is thinking of and you
remove it from the deck, leaving it in his hands. You turn over the
deck to reveal that every card has a DIFFERENT DOLLAR AMOUNT written
on the back. There are large amounts, small amounts, funny amounts,
gags, but EVERY AMOUNT IS DIFFERENT. When he turns over his card,
he sees it has a buffalo printed on the back, along with a big 5-cent
symbol. "Aw," you say, "you didn't win the million
dollars, but don't feel bad, you do get this," and you take the
envelope and shake from it a wooden nickel (on the back of which,
of course, you can put your contact information!). It's funny, it's
sure-fire, and it leaves them with a souvenir of your performance!
This impressed Obie O'Brien so much he had a write-up of it marketed
with my permission! Another great one for the restaurants or just
for friends. No rough-smooth; no sleight of hand. The deck does the
work for you and it resets instantly. $30 plus shipping.
"'Hand'
Ping Chien"
A classic coins-across, but on the spectator's
palm. $10 plus shipping.
"Want
to score a little pot?"
This is a very funny sight gag! Mark is
a big fan of the pun and this is a surprise play on words that guarantees
a BIG laugh! $2 plus shipping.
