Levitating Tables began in 1898, the
invention of Spiritist/Magician William E. Robinson,
better remembered as Chung
Ling Soo. Since then they have evolved to where they
can take over an entire performance, thanks to
improvements by Dirk
Losander and others. Follow the history of the
dancing and floating tables, and then learn how to build
your own and make them levitate in ways not yet revealed
on YouTube by spoil-sports. Build your own table and you
can both float it and make it vanish when you are done.
Reclaim the mystery from the know-it-alls and leave them
scratching their heads.

Watches are changing with the times.
Today many have digital watches like the one pictured at
the right. This 4-D Card Trick works with any watch,
analog or digital, no matter what kind, now or into the
future. Your spectators with watches can choose any time
in the near future for something magical to happen. You
have a card freely chosen and signed by someone and it is
then inserted into the deck and everyone can take a turn
shuffling the card deeper and deeper into the depths. A
minute or so before the chosen time arrives, you have
different spectators deal off the cards face up on the
table, while those with watches are having a count-down
to the chosen time to yell "STOP!" When they
yell Stop, the card on top of the deck is turned over and
it is the signed card at the exact time to the second
that was predicted in advance.

You pass around a small wooden box. It
has a hole in front and back, and closes and locks. When
the box gets returned to you after making the rounds, you
pass out a length of rope, 3-4 feet or so. You ask each
person to tie some kind of knot in the rope, and keep it
going from person to person as you continue with whatever
magic tricks you've been performing. When the thoroughly
knotted rope gets back to you, make sure everyone has a
good look at it to see that it is thoroughly tied up in
knots with just the two ends sticking out somewhere. Have
someone take the box, put the Knotty Rope inside and
thread out the two ends through the holes before they
close the box and lock it. You have them wrap white
electrician’s tape around the box and sign their
names all over the tape. Now you send the box around for
each person to untie one of the knots. They have no idea
how to do that until you suggest they just pull both ends
of the ropes that are sticking out of the holes and let
the knots untie themselves inside the box. And they do!
Magic happens in their own hands!

Some people just have a natural affinity
that attracts them to the game of Chess. Our goal is to
attempt to measure that affinity, even in someone who has
never or rarely played the game. On that premise, we
procede a brief encounter with mesmerism to see if a
predisposition exists between the Chess pieces and
someone who starts off as a skeptic and ends up a true
believer.
Also includes the game of Wiz Chess for
those who don't have time for a long drawn-out game of
regular chess, and a complete set of Jumbo Chess playing
cards you can print out using your computer and any
inkjet printer.

The common Svengali Card Deck was
invented in 1909, but it was based on principles dating
back to the 1500's. This is my new version
"redux" or "redone" so no one will
recognize it. Any spectator can cut the cards and each
time he cuts to a new and unpredictably different card -
you can't do that with today's Svengali decks - you get
only ONE force card. With Redux, you get 26 or more (up
to 52) force cards. So when he finally cuts the cards,
hides his chosen card in his pocket, and seals the deck
inside a transparently clear plastic box, your audience
is astounded when you are able to read his thoughts and
draw a picture of the card he chose. You can buy several
of these clear plastic boxes at the sources given, so you
can also have, for example, THREE or more spectators cut
the cards, hide the chosen card and seal the rest of the
cards away in a separate box. Using only the telepathic
powers of your mind, you divine each different and
separate card, one by one.

Swami
Revisited
by Jim
Gerrish
This old trick from the 1950's* has been brought back to life. A
spectator becomes the Swami by looking through
his eyes, seeing hidden secrets, and what the future
holds in store. One routine: A spectator pokes out the
cardboard eyes of a cardboard Swami picture. Then he
freely picks a card from any deck of cards and puts it,
sight unseen, in his pocket. A different spectator looks
through the holes in the Swami's eyes and only he can see
and name the hidden card. But it's not just a prop for
card tricks. The Swami can reveal other future events
before they happen, and more.

This is a simple song to learn (and
teach kids to sing) so you can "explain" how
the magic happens when you (or they) wave your magic
wand. For example, the first routine described is a coin
routine.
As you sing the song and wave your wand,
you make a penny appear on your palm. Then you make the
penny disappear. It comes back as a larger (dollar-size)
penny. Then it expands to a 3 inch giant size penny,
before returning to its regular size to be given away or
vanished. Big penny sources given, plus sources for other
songs beyond magic pennies.

A spectator chooses a card and then uses
a black marking pen to sign his or her name across the
back of the card. At this point, you can do several
traditional things- make the card vanish and then turn up
somewhere else, tear up the card and restore it,
signature and all, or whatever you usually do with cards
in this position. The ending comes when you finally
display the card, show it on both sides, and then peel
off the signature from the back of the card and hand the
clean, pristine, restored card to the spectator to return
to the deck so you can use it again for magic. Alternate
ending: Toss the signature that you just stripped from
the back of the chosen card and have it land permanently
on another card of your choice, or the spectator's second
choice.

Who says young children don't like
mentalism effects? They love to play "Guess What I'm
Thinking!" That requires mind reading, and all it
needs is PROOF that you really can tell what they are
thinking about. We use Wipe Clean children's books and a
REAL MAGIC magic marker to do just that, so if you think
Mental Magic is not for kids, THINK AGAIN!
Besides "Guess What I'm
Thinking", I have included "Riddle Me
This", "Favorite Letters", "Read MY
Mind", "Spell Casting", and more, all for
Toddlers to Third Graders to view as Real Magic.
