Book includes

Coin prediction - Ask a spectator how much is in a handful of change, they say £2.57, when you display it there is £1.64 (or whatever) You then go on to predict what coin they will finish with, whether its heads or tails and for the finale, you reveal that you had predicted £2.57 too. (No PW)

Dead cut prediction - a freely thought-of card is written on the back of the Jokers

Anniversary in my pocket - my take on the classic effect Anniversary waltz

Upper hand - a cool 4 for 4 transposition card effect

Cut, stop, think - a card routine that predicts exactly what card spectators will stop at, cut to and think of.

Stop and think - a slightly shorter version of the above, different method and a real worker

Drawn - previously under the radar in a limited run booklet super commercial card routine that leaves your spectator with a brilliant souvenir

Re-drawn - a different take on the above

Coin to anywhere - what it says on the tin

Mental coins - a great idea by Gary Jones a freely predicted number on a coin

Card at almost any number - total magician fooler, I've also included a kicker ending previously unpublished that makes it much more commercial

Locked, marked and reloaded - in my first book there is a routine called "marked cards" this is an evolution of that, much more commercial.

A freely named card - you bring out 2 Jokers from your pocket and it is written on the backs (as direct as that)

Stickman Stan - a really commercial routine that leaves the spectator with a brilliant souvenir, great for kids as well as adults.

Turbo card - turbo stick meets a card trick. Visual fast-paced magic

Hopping lemon - a walk-around coin routine that has a "chop cup" feel to it, they never see the ending coming!

Destination amazed - a prediction effect using business cards. Predict a freely thought of holiday destination.

Thanks to Dave - using 4 pieces of a ripped-up card, it changes into a selected card 1 piece at a time.

Comedy card to wallet (prop included)

52 on 1 kickback thingy - A 52 on 1 card changes into a thought of card

Lucky card - card in lanyard (previously on my ATT lecture, I have added different handlings as well as the original to remove the use of the gimmicks).

Gambit - a really nice coin prediction effect using a gaff you will already own

GMT - a quick impromptu card trick from Gary Jones

Whoops - when the spectator signs the back of the card by mistake you now have a routine to go straight into.

Dr Daleys Mystery - from a shuffled pack Dr. Daleys last trick meets "mystery card"

PLUS 2 essays on performing close-up magic at events, dealing with Alpha males, pocket management, approaching a table, and much more.

Jam packed with pleasure Report this review

I'm enjoying this book hugely. Lots of content, great variety, varying degrees of difficulty but nothing too onerous. I like that Chris assumes you have the occasional gaffs needed (who doesn't have them), and there are a number of unusual off beat effects that add to these riches. Well worth getting at this excellent price.

Everything Congreave does is gold. This book is full of practical effects that you will actually use. Dude is clever as hell and he streamlines everything.

This book should be in everyone's magic library. Jam packed with effects that work and work well in the real world. Chris and Gary are full time working entertainment gurus. Who know what works best for real people in real life. This book is a glimpse into that world. No you are not going to be performing every single effect in the book. However you are going to be honest with yourself and think darnit why wasn't I doing this. Highly recommended for 99% of working Magicians. 100% recommended the people who want to add to their working set.
