SGOTTA B

 

EFFECT:

The performer takes a random bunch of items out of his pockets and puts them on the table. The participant makes several free choices which results in all but one of the objects being eliminated and pocketed, leaving just the wallet.

The performer points out that there is a piece of paper sticking out of the wallet and when the participant removes it and reads it – the performer has predicted the outcome with 100% success!

 

THE SALES BLURB / AD COPY BIT:

·       This will be your new favourite EDC

·       No multiple outs

·       The prediction ALWAYS matches the object

·       No use of the ‘Free Will’ principle. The participant ALWAYS reads the prediction

·       Nothing hidden under the PATEO ;-)

·       No gaffs or gimmicks, just regular items

·       No unnatural actions or strange handling. Everything is    PERFECTLY choreographed (in fact ‘Perfectly Choreographed’ was my original title for the trip)

·       Every choice and decision is free

·       No hokey outcomes or contrived procedure

·       For reasons explained in the instructions, I like to predict the wallet. But it can be ANY object you choose

·       Same outcome every time or different outcome every time – it’s entirely up to you

·       Full script and handling-choreography taught in detail

***    Features a brand-new presentational concept which will strengthen EVERY prediction trip you ever perform

 

Pocketses

I created Pocketses back in 2016 and performed it constantly all that year. Then in early 2017 I released it for just one month before withdrawing it. I did the same in 2021: available for one month then gone. Just to keep it a little bit exclusive.

After five years' absence it is now available again, for the next month. Then - vamoose.

 

Effect: 

From a borrowed, shuffled deck you remove two single cards which you place into your pocket. You quite openly state that these are predictions: one card will match the suit, and the other card will match the value of the card that the participant is about to choose! The participant shuffles the deck and removes a card. 100% free choice, no force. Let's say it is the Ace of Hearts. You remove the cards from your pocket and impossibly they are correct - one is an Ace and the other is a Heart!

Oh, and did I mention that there is also a prediction in the card case that says ‘Someone will pick the Ace of Hearts’?!?

 

Points to remember:

NO force.

NO gimmicks.

NO indexes.

NO palming.

You are always 100% correct - no 'alternative endings' or verbal deception.

Borrowed, shuffled deck.

You'll learn this in two minutes and use it forever.

 

Here are the comments from the first two magicians to see Pocketses back in 2017:

“I very rarely add new card effects to my repertoire, but Pocketses is just too good to ignore! It's super strong, will fool anyone and is almost self-working.” 

– Iain Moran

“For me personally this is a huge bargain, and this is something that I will do when out and about, and definitely at conventions using a borrowed deck. I will also do this as a part of a larger routine at gigs as this type of magic comes across like you are doing really strong mind reading/mind control stuff. I highly recommend you check this out.” 

– Gary Jones

The Complete Hidden Gems Hardback Book

 

FINALLY AVAILABLE AS A HARDBACK...

  

 

HIDDEN GEMS

 

The best magic that you're NOT doing!

 Hidden Gems is a road map to great magic that you ALREADY OWN...

These are tricks that define the very concept of 'hidden in print'. In each entry I list the trick, where to find it, why I love it and why YOU should look it up.  

I always describe the effect, occasionally the presentation, 

but NEVER the method.

Most are in books that you already own (or should!), some are in magazines that you can easily get access to and the odd one or two entries will send you on a major SHM/MagicWeek/eBay hunt. Happy days!

If you are looking for great tricks that no one else is doing (and who isn't?!) then you will find a lifetime of them in this book.

 

This new hardback book collects ALL 10 of the Hidden Gems eBooks, preserving them permanently in a format that you will be happy to have in your library. In addition to all of the original recommendations, there is a new chapter with 20 brand new Gems, plus a list of the Gems that would fool Penn & Teller, making for a grand total of 1109 Gems spread over 356 pages!

The Hidden Gems HB book is £90 + Postage.
