DOOMSDAY DECK: This is a new design by Diamond Jim Tyler. DJ often looks for things that are intrinsically magical to inspire his performances and to reach the subconscious of his spectators. Neuro-linguistic programming techniques and subliminal suggestions like these help to coax the audience to respond more strongly to your magic! The black and white card backs feature ancient imagery based on the Mayan calendar, a compass rose, sugar skulls and more. The cards are poker-sized Bicycle stock with an "apocalyptic" finish. The deck was licensed with Bicycle faces so they can be implemented into 808 decks for various magic routines. This deck manufactured by the United States Playing Card Co. includes two duplicate Jokers, a unique Ace of Spades, a blank-faced card, a double-backed card and a secret one-way design. Buy them before the world ends on Dec. 21, 2012. The clock is ticking! The uncut sheets and black and white seal decks are sold out. This is the red seal version with a more expensive magic finish that serious card workers prefer. Released April 12, 2012. 2500 made; 144 remain

BAMBOOZLERS: The Book of Bankable Bar Betchas, Brain Bogglers, Belly Busters & Bewitchery- Volume One: Second Edition- The book teaches the reader how to do amazing and funny things with common objects found around the house or in a restaurant.

The book measures 3 by 5 inches, has a black faux leather-binding, has silver gilt edges, a black ribbon marker, etc. There are 75 effects, with 128 pages and over 100 illustrations. The foreword of the book was written by the prolific author Martin Gardner. The book was designed as a reference guide to fit in one's shirt or pants pocket when out on a fun night on the town. $19.95 After a long hiatus it is back in print as of 4-23-12!

COLLATERAL DVD (w/ bonus RING & STRING ROUTINE): Diamond Jim Tyler teaches his award-winning borrowed Ring & String routine, step by step, with some thought-provoking nuances. The audience witnesses a spectator's ring penetrate and vanish from a leather lace time and again. This has
been a feature of DJ's act since 1986 and used in thousands of
performances and hundreds of lectures all over the world.
This is a visually stunning routine that transcends the language
barrier.
|
|
Dan Fleshman and Gregory Wilson, who are experts on the subject, say it is one of the best routines they have ever seen. Unlike most ring and string routines that become predictable this one ends strong with an effect that DJ likes to call COLLATERAL:
The magician removes his
ring and asks to borrow a spectator's ring. The magician
places his own personal ring into a small coin envelope and asks the
ring-less spectator to place it into their pocket as collateral.
After performing DJ's Ring & String routine or any borrowed ring effect- their ring is made to
vanish! The spectator hands over the envelope only to
discover that their own ring is inside!
Includes two leather laces and the other necessary props.

Z.A.P. WALLET: This thin, sleek, normal looking, pocket-sized, affordable, leather business card wallet will zap you the information needed for your favorite mind-reading routine. With the wallet you'll receive Diamond Jim's thinking and some subtleties from the great Docc Hilford when handling the Z.A.P. Wallet. This is a great little secret weapon to have in your arsenal and you'll find it functional for everyday use since it holds business cards plus a packet trick or two. The Z.A.P.

SWEET DVD (w/ bonus BIRTHDAY CARD): DJ's effect SWEET is one where an initialed coin or borrowed ring vanishes and reappears inside of a sealed sweetener packet that has been in view the whole time. This effect leaves them speechless or in some cases causes the onlookers to develop tourette's syndrome right on the spot! As a bonus DJ teaches another reputation maker called the BIRTHDAY CARD. The birthday person selects a card and signs it and the magician has trouble finding it, so to divert their attention he presents them with a sealed greeting card envelope. He claims that inside is a birthday card. |

Instead they find a playing card with a different colored back with a personal birthday message. To their surprise it is their signed card The DVD was shot before a live audience and includes the necessary gimmicks. $24.95 Released August of 2011. "One of the things I really like about Diamond Jim Tyler's effects are that they are from a real world worker. Here's a guy who is one of the busiest close-up performers around, and these two effects are two of his signature pieces. I saw him perform SWEET live and it really is a super strong routine. The bonus is the birthday card routine - which alone is fantastic. If you are a working performer or find yourself performing in restaurants, bars, walk-around venues then both of these routines should be in your repertoire. Highly commercial and extremely strong magic!!"- Paul Romhany |

CLOSE-UP MAGIC SECRETS BOOK: In 2000 Diamond Jim released his first book titled Pockets Full of Miracles. The book quickly became a best-seller and was out of print one year later. That book literally took him around the world. The hardback book still fetches exorbitant prices when you can find it online. The good news is that the book is now back in print. It features 29 routines, over 300 photos and 176 pages. Dover Books released a revised and unabridged soft-cover version of the book in June of 2011 with a new cover and title. The material that originally retailed for $40 can now be purchased for a fraction of that price. Click here to read the Table of Contents. If you'd like it signed, then just write a message in the notes field of the order page. Released June of 2011. For a recent review click here. |

DIA♦MONTE
(DVD): Most
traditional
three card monte routines are confusing. Half of the time your audience gets
mixed up as to which card is which. And remember what the Professor Dai
Vernon once said, "Confusion is not magic!" Effect:
The magician fans three cards face-up to show one red Queen sandwiched
between two Jokers. Without mixing them the cards are turned
face-down and a spectator is asked to locate the Queen. Each time
the spectator chooses a card- it is shown to be a Joker. For the
finale the Queen visibly changes into a Joker- making all of the cards Jokers. Then to
everyone's surprise the cards are handed out for inspection or as a
souvenir!
There is NO
palming, switches, double-lifts, rough & smooth, multiple push-offs or
special printed cards. The sleight of hand employed is
minimal and you will likely be performing this in minutes after watching
the DVD. While any brand of card can be used, I've included some poker
Bicycle cards to get you started. "This has been my favorite three
card monte routine for twenty years because it looks so fair, seems
moveless, packs a big punch and ends clean. I also think that it will
fast become your favorite version of the monte!" -Diamond Jim Tyler

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 "I love it and I use it in my show aboard the
cruise ships." -Paul Romhany

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

Several of the routines on the DVD like my Ring & String routine, my coins to glass routine called Pieces of Eight, Comedy Shuffling Routine, Animated Card Box, have helped me to win awards from the TAOM and the IBM. Many of these routines have been showcased on TV, the Improv Comedy Club, the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA., the Magic Circle in London, and featured in my lecture tour across 37 of the states in the U.S. plus 21 other countries. This is the real work that I used in restaurants for over 25 years and has ultimately paid my bills since 1986.

routine; One in a restaurant environment and the second in a showroom
setting.

DIAMOND JIM'S FINGER RING & STRING ROUTINE: This routine has evolved since 1986. It can be used in a stand-up or close-up situation. 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 a borrowed ring vanishes, reappears, and penetrates a string numerous times. The packaged routine includes detailed instructions with a nice leather lace; all for $14.95. Read review. Watch the video on the right to see me performing this in the Parlor of Prestidigitation at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. |

DJ has taken the old Spellbound of yester year and brought it into the 21st century. This mysterious crystal routine is priced $19.95. Limited quantity available! Read review. |

THE DIAMOND DECK: The magician fans a pack of poker-sized Bicycle 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! Thousands have been sold! This routine is priced at $19.95. Read review.

DIAMOND JIM PLAYING CARDS: I originally had 1000 of these made. They were made by Gemaco who produces playing cards for many of the world's casinos. They are poker size and have a very nice finish. The decks come in red or blue back. Buy one of the remaining 50 decks left! $4.95 |

DIAMOND JIM CRYSTAL BALL 8x10 PHOTO: If purchasing this photo, Diamond Jim will happily sign it and personalize the message. This photo seems to have magical qualities of its own. It can be used to scare away rodents in your garden. It also seems to help improve one's accuracy in the game of darts. I can personally guarantee that these signed photos will one day be worthless. Only $4.95. |
ACCESSORIES

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.

DAN TONG HOLD-OUT: This is a great secret weapon to produce items from apparently nowhere! This unit can be pinned beneath the coat or vest and will hold a 3-inch coin, several half-dollars, sponge balls, a color-changing knife, spring flowers or bills, cards, envelopes, paper currency, thimbles, keys, cigarettes, etc. I've used in for years in my Pieces of Eight routine. The best advice I can give you is that a magician should not leave home without it! Each hold-out is $12.50. (The items in the pic are not included!) One left. |
|
4.5 INCH GIANT HALF DOLLAR: This is just like the giant coin that I use as a surprise finale in my Pieces of Eight routine featured in my book & DVD Pockets Full of Miracles. Your audience can rationalize how perhaps you've hidden a normal half dollar in your hand, or a jumbo coin in your sleeve, but this one always leaves them speechless. It's like producing a manhole cover! This killer climax is $49.95. Only one left! |

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.
