Cough Cough by David Blaine

Performance: The magician has a card selected and signed.

The card is then shuffled into the pack by the spectator and it is the magicians job to locate it.

Unfortunately the magician cannot seem to get it right, but after a few attempts, the magician seems to actually regurgitate a tightly folded card.

It is the spectators card, with their signature.

Preparation: You need a pen and a deck of cards .

Method: Have the spectator select a card from the deck and show it to the audience.

After the card is signed control it to the top of the deck by means of a Hindu Shuffle control or a revolving pass.

The deck is now held in the standard dealing position in the left hand ( with the chosen card at the top )

Get a finger break under the top card and palm with your right hand immediately.

Flourish the rest of the deck with a one hand cut, or one hand shuffle with your left hand and offer it to a spectator to simply mix up the cards.

Make sure the spectator starts to shuffle because some stubborn people start to look through the deck looking for their card.

Then turn your back making this move seem natural to show that there is no possible way that you could know where the card is.

At this time you are folding the palmed card into eighths. ( The smaller the better ) This is easy, as your back is turned you can use both hands to do this and then slip the tiny package in your mouth between your cheek and gum.

Turn around to face the audience. As the card is folded so tightly in your mouth, you can talk normally.

Take the cards and act as if you messed up .

Turn over a couple of cards to reveal what was supposed to be their selection. The card will of course be the wrong selection.

Do whatever you want, just make yourself look bad.

As soon as people start to laugh at you, act as if your hurt, as if something inside of you is wanting to get out.

Make the audience curious, and have the suspense build up.

As soon as they reach their peak work the card out of your lips and and slowly spit the card out onto the palm of your hand.

Unfold it, and watch the audience scream as they see that it is the chosen signed card.

It looks as if you somehow swallowed the card beforehand and regurgitated it back up again.

Flow

Effect: The spectator sees takes a bottle of water and is asked to pour a little bit out, then she is asked to pour the bottle over her hand . When the magician tells her to move away her hand, the water doesn't spill out. The magician then takes a toothpick and pushes it up the water bottle and it goes to the top. On the count of three, the water spills out.
Demo: Flow
Explanation: You need to buy those little gooey balloons that you blow up with a little straw type thing. You can find these at basically any dollar store. Next, you need to blow some of it at the mouth piece of the water bottle. Then you add a tiny bit of water on top of the film in the water bottle. Then you follow the performance. To do the toothpick part, you need to lick the toothpick and push it up. It is basically self working.

Stapled!

The Stapled! routine in AoA1 is a great routine, but I wanted to make a version where the Jokers never come in contact with the deck, and the result was this one, which I think has a very nice surprise at the end.

Pre-work: Rip the tabs off the mouth of your card box. Put a staple in a Joker and then remove it. Put another normal joker from another deck (to be clear: neither one should have a guarantee) on top of the deck and the pre-stapled joker on top of that. Put the deck in the box so that it faces the side of the box with the half-moon cut-out on it. When you start your routine, pull out all cards except the two jokers and replace the box on the table with the half-moon down and away from you. If you're right-handed, set it to your right. Do a few tricks before coming back to this one.

1) Spread out the deck and have a card selected. Signed on the face if you like, although this is far from necessary. Have it replaced and control to the top however you like. May I suggest my Dribble Cover Pass or the Thumb Slide? Immediately top palm as you mention that you need the Jokers from the box.

2) Ask to have the deck shuffled by the spec and hand it to him. Immediately, yet deliberately, put your palming hand on the box, palm down (obviously), pick it up, turn it over, and grab it from above with your other hand, letting the fingers and thumb hold the card in place. Use the now free hand to flick the flap out of the box and fold it back slightly. You may recognize this sequence from Wilson's "Joke In The Box."

3) Pull the two jokers a half in. and then keep pulling the top one all the way out. Turn this card face down, and stick it back in the box half-way as if to pull out the other joker, but let the fingers go all the way under the box, receive the spectator's card which you now drop onto them, and pull it up past the bump in the flap.

4) Now, holding the top joker with your thumb and the spec's card with your finger flip the card box over and onto the table so that the box arrives on the table flap up and toward you and the boxed joker arrives at the bottom of the box at the same time.

5) Spread the two cards you're left holding, showing the now face-up guarantee joker. Put them both in the other hand, and pick up the stapler. Put a staple in the middle of the cards in exactly the same place the boxed joker was stapled.

6) Use the thumb of the hand holding the cards to fold down the bottom card to prove they are genuinely stapled. Do that fake turnover move where you rotate your hand and flip out the cards with your thumb at the same time to place them in the other hand rotated 180 degrees but not actually flipped. Pull back the corner with the thumb of the opposite hand, but don't mention why this time. . .that would be over-proving. Drop them as-is on the table.

7) If you like, casually show your empty hand and then use it to push the flap back in the box. Don't point out that you're doing this: ask whether the deck is thoroughly shuffled instead. Pick up the box and drop it on the stapled cards. Have the spec put the deck on top of the box and his hand on top of that. Ask him to steadily but not too firmly apply pressure to the deck (if he presses too hard, he will crush the box, duh). Tell him his card will pass through the deck through the box and in between the cards that are stapled together.

8) Pull off the hand, deck, and box, and act surprised that there are only two cards on the staple. Show that the bottom card is still a joker, and turn it over and again act surprised that the other card isn't. Ask if it's the spec's card (it is, duh). Spread out the deck face up and try to find the missing joker. You also give suspicious folk a chance to check for dupes if you didn't have the card signed.

9) When you don't find the joker, let the spec open the box to find the other joker with staple holes still in it. Tell them they must have pushed too hard.

A Quaint Happening

Effect: Two decks in their boxes on the table. Spectator choses one, shuffles it and cuts the deck. He names the value of the card he cut to. You take the remaining deck, take it out of its box, count down from the top of the deck the amount of cards equal to the value they told you, and you find that at that number is the exact same card as the one they cut to!

Setup: (deck 1)Take a deck and take out all the hearts and clubs. Shuffle those two suits together so they're in no particular order. Here's how you re-stack the deck. From the back to the face: 6 indifferent cards, 13 hearts and clubs, 13 indifferent cards, the remaining 13 hearts and clubs, the remaining 7 indifferent cards. Put that deck in its box.

(deck 2)Take another deck and take out all the hearts and clubs. Keep them seperate from each other. Stack the two suits so they each run from ace to king, ace being at the back and king being at the face. Take the remaining of the deck, cut it approximately in half and turn one half over so they are now face to face. Place the clubs face down on one side and place the hearts face down on the other side. You can now deal from either side of the deck and be dealing through either hearts or clubs, in order from ace to king. When you reach the king, the next cards are still face down for several cards. Put this deck in its box. Make sure you know which suit is on which side.

Make sure you know which deck is which. If you want you can use a red deck and a blue deck.

Method: Ask them to pick up one of the decks. If they pick up deck 1, have them take out the cards and proceed with the trick. If they pick deck 2, have them hand it to you, you take out the cards and hand them the cards.

They now hold deck 1. Have them cut it in half and riffle shuffle them together. What they have just done is put all the hearts and clubs in the center of the deck in a big chunk. Have them cut somewhere in the middle of the deck and to show which card they cut to. It will be a heart or a club. Let's say it is the 6 of clubs.

You pick up the remaining deck and take the deck out of its box so clubs is on top. That means that if you inserted the deck with the clubs against the half moon cut out, open the box and take it out so that side is up most. You don't want to take out the deck with the wrong side up and have to turn the deck over only to show backs on the other side too. Also make sure not to spread the cards on the bottom of the deck because they are face up. Cleanly deal down the amount of cards equal to the value of their card, in this case 6. The sixth card will be the 6C. If they had cut to the 6H, you would have taken the deck out the other side up and the 6th card would have been the 6H.

Hershey Kiss by Cyril Takayama

Demo: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YtDLJEJLwho&search=

Anyhow, let's get on it.

Preparation

1. Hershey Kiss Playing Card.
I recommend photo paper (the one with the shiny look) to print the Hershey Kiss on (link for image should be below). If you don't have photo paper, try the normal one but make sure it's neat. With an exacto knife, you'll need to cut the shape of the Hershey Kiss as near of the edges as possible, then with Rubber Cement or normal Glue Stick, stick it on the back of a playing card. If you have some spare Double Backer, It'd be even better (I'll explain later on)
http://www.siteselection.com/ssinsider/images/pw030616c.jpg (make sure to print on in White and black to make sure the size is right)

2. Get the Hershey kiss

Method

Have the Hershey kiss under the deck (which is in mechanic's grip) and the card with the Hershey kiss print on it on the bottom. Make a spectator choose a card, and if you desire, make the spectator sign it. While they are look at their card, swing cut half the deck in your hand that has the Hershey kiss. So far, what you have is, The Hershey kiss, random pack of cards, and in your other hand, on the bottom of the other part of the deck, the special card and the rest of the deck. Put the spectator card under the special Hershey card, and just dribble the rest of the card on it. Use whatever pattern you want to make the spectator kiss the deck or any pattern you want to make the Hershey kiss appear. Spread the card, and find the card. Take every card on top of the Hershey kiss card in your pocket, and do a double lift to show the spectator's card. Now, what you should have is Their card, random card face up (if you have a double backer then just the back of a face), rest of the deck face down, and a Hershey kiss in your hand. Make sure you do this fast enough so they don't notice. In mechanic's grip, take the whole deck except THEIR card (slide it off) with your other hand and, really fast, put the rest of the deck in your pocket. So basically, you have a face up card, and the Hershey kiss in your hand. Make a spectator cup their hand, and just produce it like the video :o


I hope I was clear enough... I tend to over say things. Just tell me how I did =).

This trick is really effective with girls =).

Another point would be to, really, I mean, really use a double backer, the back of the cards are all examinable and it can stay in views at all time.

Kontrol Kard

Control Card
What will YOU do with it?
With a Single Card You Get:

Control of Multiple Cards
Thick Card
Holdout Card
Spittle Card
Easy Double or Triple Lift
Hides Reversed/Peeked Card
Double Face/Double Back Card
And More!

Imagine a single card that can control two other cards, provides automatic double lifts, that causes cards to vanish and reappear, makes double faced or double backed cards, all out of your own favorite brand of cards.

Possibilities are truly endless when a single card can replace many other card gaffs and gimmicks. You need only add or remove one card to use multiple trick cards in an otherwise regular deck.

The Card itself may be forced, allowing you to control it and two freely chosen
Cards - three selected cards in all. This makes for some dramatic card revelations and
Impressive card control. Its ability to become a thick card at will is perfect for "test
Condition,” type mentalist effects.

Ok, So what the heck is it ?

There is a spray clear rubber coating that comes in a can.

Rust –Oleum Grip & Guard (clear)*seems hard to find*

I went to Ace Hardware and found Performix Plasti Dip 11 oz spray can for $8.49.

Most people use this as a way to provide a grip on the handles of tools such as hammers, wrenches and so forth. You may have seen the red rubber dip used on tool handles.

It is similar to this except of course it isn't red, it's clear, and comes in a spray can.

Place a card on a sheet of cardboard and spray an even coat as you would with roughing spray. Don’t soak them.

After a few trials and you'll find the correct amount for your use.

When one side of the card is completely dry, turn it over on a clean sheet and spray the other side. Let this side dry, and you are finished.

**Note: You can also make single sided card if you like**
**Coat double backers/facers**
**No need for double sided tape-for NFW etc**

In some lighting conditions or with some types of card decks, you may not wish to show the Card due to its slightly more shiny appearance. It will become less shiny the more you use it, but you should be aware of your preferred working conditions.

You may always use the Control Card without it being seen, while maintaining many of its other advantages.

Here are some ideas for its uses:

The Control Card will cause another card to stick to both sides of itself. Selected cards above and below it will stay "stuck" together along with the Control Card. This makes for a three cards thick key card.

It also allows the cards to stay firmly together during overhand shuffles. No breaks are needed, as the Card becomes thick with the other cards. This alone has fooled many wise card players and performers. It is difficult to find a more fair control
Of multiple cards.

A selected card placed behind the Card will "disappear". The entire deck may be counted out one at a time, and the selection will be seen to have vanished - secretly adhering to the Card. It may reappear easily due to the thick card control, even after shuffling and cutting.

Place the Card face up on a face down deck. Thumb the face up Card over -and you have created a secret double-face card! Do snap change and the card changes.

Allow the Card to rest with its sticky face side against the top of the deck. Thumb it to one side and do another change or flip move. Now the card is seen to change again!

All of this easily, naturally and fairly - with little or no effort at all. Just a little bit of pressure keeps the block of cards together
.
Show the Card’s face and place it face down on top of the face down deck. Thumb it over to one side and show the face again. The face has changed instantly. Flip this card(s) face down and lift up the top Card only by grasping the inner and outer short ends of the Card. This allows the original top Card face to be shown again. An amazingly natural double lift face change!

Do the same thing but sandwich the Card between two selected cards.
Overhand shuffle. Secretly cut the sandwich block to the top by feeling for the block,
Thanks to the Card’s properties and now triple thickness. Flip over the top block (it's easy!) and show you have found one selected card. Flip this face down, and remove the top card by the short ends, as you drop this on the table face down. Show the top Card, as not being a selected card. Frown and then have the spectator look at the tabled card. It has changed to the other selection.

Secretly make the Card a double-face card and place it on the bottom of the deck. Turn your back and have someone deal cards one at a time face down on to the table. They stop anywhere and look at the last card dealt. Have them turn their chosen card face up. Next, tell them to bury their chosen card by placing the rest of the deck on top of the tabled pile. This secretly places the Card and a face up indifferent card on top of their card. Remind everyone that one card - his or her card - is face up. Snap your fingers and spread the deck. Their face up card has changed. Cut this card (secret Card block) to the top of the deck. Turn it face down on top of the deck. Legitimately take the real top card off at the short ends, being careful not to show the face up Card underneath it. Just turn the hand with the Card and deck in as you table the face down top card. Snap your fingers, and the tabled card changes back to their selection! Cut the deck, and the whole deck can be seen front and back, all facing the proper way.

Mentalists should consider how this very idea might be applied to index cards, business cards, notepaper, billets, and so forth.

You may make your own special items; there is no need to limit this method to playing cards, or even Tarot or ESP cards. Think beyond common card stock.

Sweet Bread

Effect:The magician takes a dollar bill,folds it and hands it to the spectator to keep it sealed in their fist. After that the magician takes a sugar packet,folds it and rubs it over the spectator hand. And viola,the dollar bill is in the magicians hand and the sugar packet is in the spectators hand.

Preparation and sleights needed:Palming..a lot of palming needed. For preparation all you need is a bowled(folded?my English is not perfect sorry) sugar packet.
Performing:

Have the folded sugar packet finger palmed in your right hand.

Borrow a dollar bill and if you like you can have it signed. Squeeze it nicely and fold it tight in your left hand.

Pretend that you take the dollar bill with your right hand,while in reality you just keep the dollar bill palmed in the left hand.

Now,you have the "dollar bill" which is actually a sugar packet in your right hand and a dollar bill finger palmed in your left hand.

Put the sugar packet in to the spectators hand and tell them to make a fist and keep it sealed

Right now,the spectator thinks he|she has a signed folded dollar bill,while in reality you have it finger palmed

Now pick up a sugar packet from a table,or a bowl etc. and fold it too. Show it to the spectator and pretend to put it in your left hand(where the folded dollar bill is).

You current situation after the false transfer should be like this -> The spectator is holding a sugar packet,which they think is a dollar bill in their fist. You have a sugar packet palmed in your right hand and a dollar bill in a fist in the left hand.

Now you rub the dollar bill against the spectators fist and PURE MAGIC! Now you have the signed dollar bill and the spectator has the sugar packet.

Homing Bird

Effect:
Magician has a pack of cards with a rubber band on it. He then takes off the rubber band and explains its no ordinary rubber band its a homing band, it always comes home. he takes it with both hands and shoots it and the rubber bands back on the deck double banded.

Materials:
2 rubber bands
1 deck of cards

Explanation:

its really a simple trick but a great opener to start a card routine

have BOTH rubber bands wrapped around the deck. pick up the deck with your left hand and take ONE rubber band off hiding the other one with your left hand fingers. call attention to the rubber band by saying this is not an ordinary rubber band, at the same time you set down the deck you then do the sure shot vanish. heres how you do that

take the rubber band between your thumb and pointer (1st) finger in both hands. move each hand up and down a little like your stretching the band now heres the tricky part. With your right hands pinkey and third finger you grab the band but still hold onto it in your pinch between thumb and 1st finger. now you act to shoot the rubber band with your left hand thumb releases moves forward giving the illusion it shot out of your hands but it actually came back to your right hand fist. from there you just look at the deck.

Silver and Glass

Effect:
You have a glass in front of you, you take a handkerchief or a paper towel (napkin if at restaurant) and cover the glass with it. You take out two quarters, you give them everything to examine.then you say how every thing is solid matter including the table. You pick up one coin and hold it over the glass. The magician then drops the coin. The specs. see nothing but hear the coin hitting the glass. You do it again with the second coin and they not see but hear it drop in the glass. now the magician firmly slams the napkin down and the glass is not there. The magician then brings his other hand up from the bottom of the table and has the glass with both coins.


Materials:
All you need is two coins a glass and a handkerchief or napkin something that holds its shape newspaper is the best.


Explanation:

This effect is a much stronger version of saltshaker thru table.

First you put your two coins to the right of you and place them down. You then place a napkin so its covering the glass. then you give them the coins to inspect and the glass and napkin then you show that the table is real and not a gimmick or something, While doing that you bring the glass backwards and ditch it in your lap ( you have to have some real guts using your friends glass) this takes practice practice practice!
you put the napkin back down make sure it holds its shape. Then you pick up one coin with your right hand, false transfer into a thumb clip and have that right hand by the edge of the table. You then take your left hand (they think its in this hand) and hold it over the glass and pretend like your dropping an invisible coin. at the same time you do that you drop the coin thumb clipped into the glass on your lap. repeat with second coin.you then say matter doesn't matter to me then you firmly smush the napkin on the table.bringing up the glass on your palm and drop out the coins.

Needle from Eye to Eye

WARNING: I will not be held responsible for any damages and or injuries while performing this effect.

Effect
:A small needle is cleanly pushed into the right eye
and emerges from the mouth.it is pushed back into the mouth.
It is pushed back into the mouth and finally emerges from the left eye.

Required: 3 perfectly smooth needles made from from silver. Size should be 1/2 inch by 1/16th inch. Lager sizes can be used after alot of practice.

Method: Basically one needle is previously hidden in the left eye between
eye and lower eye lid and one is hidden in mouth behind lower lip.
During the show a needle is introduced into right eye and hidden behind
the lower eyelid.You pretend to push it along the veins and expose
the needle in the mouth pushing it out with tongue.This is then replaced in
mouth and pushed to the left eye from where previously hidden needle is removed.

Practice is essential in introducing the needle and keeping it there.The needles should
be perfectly polished and free from scratches ans barbs.The needle is pushed into the
inner corner of the eye in a downward direction and finally rest behind the lower eyelid.
Initially you feel an itching sensation and the eyes tend to water.however after a few hours of practice these sensation vanish.

Once you can keep the needle in the eye for some time without showing
on feeling and sing of discomfort you are all set to perform the feat.
The needle from the mouth is pushed out by the tongue without the hand
going near it to eliminate suspicion of a palmed needle.The needle from the eye is pushed out by running
a finger on the outside of the lower lid to enable the audience to see it clearly emerging form the eye.

Note again: It is dangerous!

Edge by Kevin Parker

Basically, rip a corner off a card and make a duplicate rip on another but don't take it completely off the card. Now take the fully ripped off one and attach it to a loop of IT with wax on both sides. One side of the it goes to the card, the other attaches to the first joint of your index (the part thats higher if you bend all your fingers back). Now you're ready.

Walk up to the window and show its solid (hiding the corner of the card with IT behind your hand) and then move that hand around the glass and stick the wax from your hand onto the glass. Now when you throw the card at the glass, hit with the ripped corner first and it will bend down behind the card. As this is happening, move your other hand (the one behind the glass) upwards so tat the the corner flys into view.

For the clean up, take the corner and show how it matches (do this on the opposite side as whichever direction the corner turned underneath) and rip off the corner still attached to the card as you do so.

Card Through Window

Effect : The performer asks the spectator to pick a card without him seeing the face and replace it in the pack.

The pack is then shuffled and the performer is apparently unsuccessful in locating the card.

After a few attempts, the cards are thrown against a window in a fit of rage. On looking at the window, the chosen card is seen to be sticking to it, even more surprising is the fact that the card is on the inside of the window.

Preparation : You will need two identical packs of cards and a willing helper.

Method: This trick should be performed in an area with a large window nearby and with the spectator facing away from the window.

The spectator is asked to choose a card from a pack, memorize it and without showing you, replace the card in the pack.

The pack is then shuffled and and a couple of attempts at "is this your card " tried followed by a look of disbelief when the spectator tells you that it is not their card (this is all part of the act as you don''t even need to know the card).

After a few attempts you fake an angry outburst and making sure the cards are squared up throw the pack broadside at the window, where they will hit the window and fall to the ground, except the chosen card which is sticking to the window.

Your helper was already positioned behind the window and spectator and had an identical pack of cards. He was able to see the chosen card and took the duplicate from his pack.

A small piece of looped sticky tape or magicians wax was attached to the duplicate card and it was stuck to the inside of the window.

The helper should then have walked away from the window.

This trick creates a real surprise but it is important to pick up the fallen cards quickly and to pocket the original chosen card.

Voodoo Ash Trick

Effect: The spectator writes a name on a page in a notepad. The spectator then tears out the page, crumples it up and places it in an ashtray. The paper is set alight and the magician then rubs the ashes on his arm, on which the name written by the spectator, mysteriously appears.

Preparation: You will need a small notepad, pen, ashtray, lighter and a small piece of soap or wax.

Method: The spectator is asked to write either a name or favourite anything of their choice on a notepad. They are then asked to tear out the page, crumple it up and place it in the ashtray. The magician then sets the paper alight. At this point the magician should take the notepad from the spectator. If looked at closely, it should be possible to see an imprint of the spectators written word on the top page of the notepad. ( It should not be made obvious that the magician has been looking at the notepad..) Then subtly, perhaps by using a little misdirection, the word should be written on the magicians arm by himself using the soft soap or wax. ( Again, this action should not be visible or obvious to anyone.)

The magician can then take some of the ashes and rub them on his arm where the ash will stick to the soap or wax and the name become visible to the astonishment of the audience.

This is a great trick but depends o the magician creating an atmosphere with an entertaining routine and patter about black magic to enhance the trick and create misdirection to allow himself an opportunity to pull off the trick.

Thread performed by Criss Angel

Warning: Before anyone does this, I am warning you that it does hurt and it can cause damage to your eyes. If you perform this trick, you are taking all of the responsibilty for anything that may go wrong.
Effect: Spectator takes a piece of thread and puts it in his mouth, allowing just a tiny piece to stick out. He then pulls at his eye lashes and starts pulling one out. It turns into the string and he pulls it farther out. The piece of string that is sticking out of his mouth is pulled all they way into his mouth and the rest of the string is pulled from his eye.

Method
: First, take two pieces of thread that are the exact length. With one, place it in some warm water. You want this water to be about room temperature, maybe a little warmer. You don't want it too cold, because it will irritate your eye, and the same thing with it being to hot. Now that the string is saturated with water, take it out and ring it out a little bit, making sure it stays damp.

This is the main trick now. Before you perform this, you have to insert the thread into your bottom eye lid, making sure just a little sticks out. Once the thread it in your eye, do not move your eyes downwards, as this increases the chances of damage to your eye as the thread may become lodged into your eye. You also have to make sure that some of the thread is sticking out. This way it looks like an eye lash and people won't think anything of it.

Now that you have that down, take the other piece of thread and insert it into your mouth, allowing a little to hang out of your mouth. Now act as if you are forcing the thread up to your eye. The acting really sells this trick.

Once you have acted as if the thread has gone up to your eye, find the thread that you have already inserted into your eye lid and start pulling. At the same time, suck in the thread that is hanging out of your mouth. By doing that, it looks as if it is just one thread. Keep pulling the thread out of your eye, and once all the thread is in your mouth, you can either swallow it, or just hide it in your mouth.

Keep pulling all of the thread out of your eye. Do it slowly because it really does hurt. Like all tricks, practice this. And be careful.
