THE NEW ADVENTURES OF DIAMOND JACK: Diamond Jim has taken this classic tale and updated it into a charming story that works for both close-up and stand-up situations.  DJ has used this routine to close strolling sets and also to close his stand-up shows in places like the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA.  The routine is basically a whimsical story using every card in the deck.  The cards that the magician needs to tell his story seem to just magically appear at the his fingertips as he tells his story while mixing the cards.  You get detailed instructions with a deck of poker Bicycle cards ready to go! $20.00  Add to Cart or Checkout

MYTHOS:  My new DVD entitled 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  Add to Cart or Checkout  <Click here for a video demo!> NEW!!!

"...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

LITTLE FISHY: I have produced a live fish in a bowl of water in my act since 1997.  After much persuasion, and feeling that this production is unique from all of the others on the market, I am finally releasing this close-up miracle.  The method is practical for the strolling worker who depends on instant reset.  This effect makes a grand finale to any routine that you might already perform with an ordinary handkerchief. 

For your money you get a fishbowl, the secret revolutionary gimmick and instructions with a suggested routine.  The new fishbowl is more round in shape and 3 inches tall by 3 inches wide.  The gimmick takes no pocket space, secures the fish and bowl, and yet allows the fish to breathe fresh air.  Leave your audiences stunned for only $29.95  Add to Cart or Checkout BACK IN STOCK AFTER 3 LONG YEARS!!!

SENTIMENTAL POSTCARDS: This is a mentalism routine with heart that packs flat and plays big.  This effect will amaze any onlooker and leave them with a “warm fuzzy” inside.  When you can grip an audience emotionally it becomes easy to take on the role of a tour guide and escort them on a magical journey.

The magician introduces several postcards from his previous trips around the world.  He lays the postcards out before his audience to conduct an experiment in mind-reading. Blindfolded or while his back is turned, the magician asks a spectator to touch the cards at random.  Incredibly, the magician predicts the spectator’s every move and ultimately divines their final selection.  The final selection is also revealed to be the magician’s last romantic get-away. $24.95  Add to Cart or Checkout  NEW!!!

DJ's FORCE BAND:   Lance Armstrong made the yellow rubber wristband popular with his inspirational message "LIVE STRONG".  From that many different color bands with various messages have hit the market.  Now with DJ's FORCE BAND you can reveal a spectator's selection when using the force.  And since the bands are easily turned inside out while on your wrist you can immediately reveal a second selection as well.  Over the years I've learned that the best close-up magic with the biggest impact is that done with everyday objects.  The FORCE BAND is therefore invisible until the magician calls attention to it.  This stunner is only $6.00  Add to Cart or Checkout All profits from this effect are being donated to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.  For more information about this cause please visit www.livestrong.org

FINGER RING & STRING ROUTINE:  This routine has evolved since 1986.  This particular routine helped me to win the award for Best Close-Up Magic at the 1999 TAOM convention.  I have yet to find a routine more impromptu or miraculous.  Basically, it's a multi-phased routine where the ring vanishes, reappears, and penetrates a string numerous times.  The packaged routine includes detailed instructions with a nice leather lace; all for $15.00. Add to Cart or Checkout

MIRRORS (DVD):  Mirrors have a lore that date back to ancient times.  Legends that surround the looking-glass are said to lure and/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.  And 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 DVD you will receive 20 special mirror gimmicks to perform many routines like:

THE DIAMOND DECK: The magician fans a pack of cards merely to have someone think of a card.  Magically, the named card proves to be the only odd color backed card in the deck.  Then the magician repeats this with a second spectator and a different card.  Then all of the card faces change to red, and then all to black, and then back to normal.  For the big finale, the magician cuts the deck into two piles, revealing that each of the thought-of cards are now the only odd color cards in each half.  WOW!  And you can hand out the deck!  This routine is priced at $17.50.

KLIMAX KARDS (by Brian Nordstrom):   After having a card selected from a red deck the magician offers to find the selection in a different deck of cards, one with a blue back.  Several unsuccessful attempts are made at cutting to the card in the blue deck.  The magi then states that maybe someone in the audience could help and riffles the cards face-up asking a spectator to call stop at anytime.  During this byplay the audience sees all the faces of a blue-backed pack.  Unfortunately, these attempts are unsuccessful as well.  Stating that he’ll just have to use some magic, the backs of the cards promptly change to red- just like the other pack and then unbelievably the faces of the cards also change to none other than the selected card.  Klimax Kards is easy to perform. ONLY A FEW IN STOCK.  $15.00  Add to Cart or Checkout

THE OUIJA CARD:  The magician holds a small Ouija Board at his fingertips.  Then, as if controlled by the hand of a ghost, the board's planchette moves across its surface- ultimately revealing the spectator's card.  When the board is flipped over it reveals a large replica of the selected card, creating a true double whammy!  Surprisingly, the Ouija Card and the planchette are passed out for the audience’s inspection. $25.00 Add to Cart or Checkout Back in Stock!  Only a few left!

If you are a bizarrist, or prefer not to use the Ouija Card to reveal a playing card, then you may want to order the "plain back" version of the Ouija Card.  Simply click the Add to Cart link above and you'll be prompted to choose "playing card version" or the "plain back version".  The instructions included with the effect describe the playing card version.  If you are ordering the plain back version, then you most likely already have a use for it in mind.
