Much of what we know about Vikings and
the voyages of discovery by Leif Erikson, come from their
records written in Runes. The word Rune can mean
“mystery” or “secret” in old Germanic
languages, since Runes were often associated with and had
an important role in rituals and magic or
"magik".
Make your own Rune Stones, Rune Sticks,
Rune Balls, Rune Cards, Rune Dice, Rune Discs and Rune
Jewelry to use when you perform Rune Magik. Use Rune
Magik to see the future, find lost or hidden objects,
"heal" broken or torn objects, bewitch a friend
and more.

Bring out the empty box with the red
side outside and the green side inside. Pull away the two
sides and flip the box over so that now you have the
green side outside and the red side inside. An
“InsideOutside Box”, get it? It is obviously
empty so you hand it to a spectator and have the audience
decide what side should be outside (let him try both just
to prove the box is empty). When he holds up the box in
the air, you reach in and produce a silk handkerchief the
same color as the outside of the box. Have him flip the
sides to the opposite color, and again reach in and
produce a silk handkerchief of the opposite color. From
then on, whenever you need a dove or a prop that will fit
into the box, hand someone the box to turn inside out,
then take it and out comes the live dove or whatever prop
you wanted (as long as it fits in the box). Build it
yourself from heavy cardboard and stretchy nylon book
covers - sources suggested.

I call this “Halloweenies”
because it uses masks, but you can perform the trick all
year long. It is a Mental Magic trick, but it can be used
with small children as well as older children and adults.
You'll need eight helpers and as you greet them, they
each choose a mask (you can make these or buy them). The
youngest gets to be the ring-leader and lines the other
animals up in a row across the stage or performance
space. Then the fun begins with acting like animals,
sounding like animals, and having fun playing animals.
Finally, the youngest child, as ring leader, gets to
choose his favorite animal and it turns out that you
prove that animal was chosen long before the games began,
and that each child chose the animal whose mask he would
wear and each child wins a prize for predicting his or
her own future.

A sealed small envelope is held by a
spectator. Others can participate in shuffling portions
of a deck of cards until satisfied the deck is as mixed
up as possible. The audience chooses one of their own to
select one single card from the shuffled deck. She holds
it high in the air, while the envelope is opened. There
is only one card in the envelope, verified by the opener.
The card sealed in the envelope, since before the trick
even started, matches the one card chosen from the deck
by the spectator. It can only be called a Miracle. It is
based on Al Koran's Five Star Prediction. Jim just added
"improvements".

If you don't have $300 to spend on the
latest electronic crayon trick, buy a pack of crayons
from the Dollar Store and perform the same kinds of
tricks on the cheap! This was how it was done BEFORE
electronics entered our magic world. While you are
blindfolded, or simply turned away from her, a spectator
uses the black crayon to draw several simple shapes-
perhaps a circle, a box and a star. You are drawing at
the same time only no one can see what you are drawing
and everyone can see what the spectator is drawing. Then
she freely chooses color crayons to color each shape.
When she is done, you show everyone that on your pad, you
have drawn the same shapes using the exact same colors.
More mental effects can be accomplished using these same
simple techniques.

This comedy card routine was inspired by an idea of
English magician, Jack Shepherd, who first released it in
1946.
You "teach" a spectator (of
any age 9 to 90) to perform three (or more)
"impossible" card tricks, but your explanations
of what you are doing are so far-fetched and funny that
he or she (and your audience) have no idea how you did
them. They still have a lot of fun learning not to trust
a magician who is "explaining" magic tricks
that "anyone can do with a deck of cards."

Here are some Illusions you can build
with PVC pipes and decorate with Shower Curtains for the
season or any special occasions. Sources for inexpensive
shower curtains are given, or you can use any that you
find for less money in many local stores. The Illusions
included are for making one or more people appear,
disappear, levitate, escape, and multiply on any stage,
and even in most living rooms. Change the front shower
curtains for most holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving,
Christmas, or seasons like Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.

A choice of dollar bills - any value -
borrow one. Pick a number from 9 to 13. From an envelope
filled with random words made from that many letters
(like "Unbelievable" in the picture - 12
letters) the spectator selects one of the words and
attaches a blank strip of paper to the dollar bill. You
make a bet (with his money!) that you will read his mind
letter by letter and reveal the word he chose. If he
loses, you will give him another chance to win back his
money! A seemingly impossible mental test that you can
make him win or lose as YOU wish!

PSIGN+
by Jim
Gerrish
Effect: A spectator freely chooses any
number from 1 to 8. In doing so, the number is shown to
refer to one of eight Parapsychology Designs. The
Parapsychologist proves that the same design was
predicted long before the choice was made by the
spectator. The + simply means that even knowing what is
about to happen changes nothing- Parapsychology repeats
itself with a new number and a new design. A new Pscience
has been discovered! Won't unbelievers be Psssd Off?
