MIRRORS (DVD): Mirrors have a lore that date back to ancient times. Legends that surround the looking-glass are said to lure or repel spirits. Fortune-tellers use this mystical apparatus to read auras and make predictions. Stage magicians have used smoke and mirrors for hundreds of years to amaze their audiences. Now these magical reflectors have been brought into the hands of close-up wizards to further their mythology in an intimate gathering! Included with this region free DVD you will receive 20 special mirror gimmicks to perform many routines like: |

MIRROR PACKS:
The MIRRORS DVD includes 20 of the custom
peel and stick
mirror labels. They were
designed to completely cover the printing on the back or front of a
poker-sized card and yet leave the white borders for card workers.
You can order mirror packs to enhance many other routines you already
perform. |

"...a classy version of a brilliant bit of card magic, a performance piece that might very well be the highlight of an act." -David Regal MYTHOS: My DVD titled MIRRORS showcases a new spin on the classic wild card routine. This effect requires not only the special mirror decals, but also several blank-faced cards and a way to switch the cards for the finale. By popular demand I've created this package which comes complete with the necessary props and photo-illustrated instructions. Imagine the magician laying out several cards before his audience. Then introducing a special mirror-faced card. As he explains the lore and mystique surrounding the history of mirrors he touches the special card to the ordinary cards he sees before him. All of the cards, one by one, slowly become mirror cards. Surprisingly the mirrors soon shatter to further stun the audience! $19.95 For more MIRRORS routines and lore click here! Limited Quantity. |

DELUXE HIMBER or Z-FOLD WALLET: This is a wonderful wallet to make cards appear, disappear, change or to use for multiple outs. In the old days these wallets were the size of a small paperback book! These wallets that I have come across are very nice with a red lining. Plus, they are the perfect size to fit in one's shirt pocket. This great utility item is only $19.95.

LUCK FACTOR (Book): This is the same book that I refer to on my MIRRORS DVD in the routine I call Superstitious. I've enclosed the copy that appears on the back of the book... "Is luck just fate, or can you change it? A groundbreaking new scientific study of the phenomenon of luck- and the ways we can bring good luck into our lives. What is luck? A psychic gift or a question of intelligence? And what is it that lucky people have that unlucky people lack? Psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman put luck under a scientific microscope for the very first time, examining the different ways in which lucky and unlucky people think and behave. After three years of intensive interviews and experiments with over 400 volunteers, Wiseman arrived at an astonishing conclusion: Luck is something that can be learned. It is available to anyone willing to pay attention to the Four Essential Principles: *Creating Chance Opportunities *Thinking Lucky *Feeling Lucky *Denying Fate. Readers can determine their capacity for luck as well as learn to change their luck through helpful exercises that appear throughout the book. Illustrated with anecdotes from the lives of Harry Truman and Warren Buffett, The Luck Factor also richly portrays the lives of ordinary people who have been extraordinarily lucky or unlucky. Finally Dr. Wiseman gives us a look into "The Luck School" where he instructs unlucky people and also teaches lucky people how to further enhance their luck. Buy it at Amazon.com |
