Magic tricks Explained On Video

2009-06-14T20:19:00.001Z

At Last! A host of Amazing Magic Tricks and routines, fully demonstrated and explained on video, so that they can be easily understood by anyone, whether they be complete beginner or seasoned professional magician.

Since the launch of this Exclusive Online Magic Club entitled, “The Inner Circle Monthly Magic Club”, I’ve learned dozens of amazing magic tricks.

The idea behind this new Magic Club was to bring the huge range of magic tricks, routines and tips from their already successful Monthly CD Course, to a more easily accessible online format. And so The Inner Circle Magic Club Membership site was formed.

The original “Ultimate Pro’ Magic Course” consisted of 26 CD’s in order to cater for the huge amount of content of photographs and large video files.

These were distributed as 2 CD’s each month and shipped shipped to the customer’s postal address. This often meant up to 2 weeks delay in delivery, due to the various postal services of different counties.

Now the monthly magic videos can be viewed in the secure Member’s Area of the club.

Having seen the vast array of professional Magic tricks and routines available to members over about 24 months or so, I can honestly say that the true value of this club to any aspiring magician is priceless.

The Magic Touch is a long established Website featuring all aspects of magic and mainly concentrating on magic with ordinary everyday items like coins, banknotes, newspaper, rope etc. and leading to full professional cabaret and corporate events type of magical entertainment.

As mentioned, with literally hundreds of magic tricks and routines fully explained and demonstrated on video, it’s almost impossible to put a true value on the acquisition of such closely guarded secrets.

However, I understand that the monthly offering of real professional magic costs members no more than a meal for two at your local restaurant.

That is indeed quite Magical in itself!

Over the months, members will learn all types of magic, including card tricks, rope tricks, coin tricks and money magic; tricks with newspapers and other everyday items like bottles, cups, spoons, string, keys, rings, handkerchiefs etc. – street magic and close-up magic suitable for today’s “table hopping” and Corporate Event type of performance. There are also video instructions for professional stage and cabaret magic.

There are also extra bonuses of The Magic Touch’s top selling Magic eBooks, which are in PDF format and fully illustrated with scores of photographs and step-by-step instructions in clear, easy to understand text.

I think this exclusive membership club is restricted to a certain number of private members, so I would certainly recommend getting over the Website as soon as possible and signing up to get your exclusive magical tuition every month in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

It is everything you could wish for in a serious professional private magic club, yet it is easily accessible to all those genuinely interested in the Magic Art, and at a very modest monthly membership fee.

This is No Trick, it’s just Pure Magic!

Have A Magical 2009

2009-01-29T17:18:00.002Z

I know it seems that 2009 will be far from Magical and if we dwell on the doom and gloom being put out by our government and the financial and industrial gurus then it won't be pleasant.

However, with a few magic tricks up our sleeves we can brighten up the darkest days.

I've heard several of our 'experts' say that they just don't have a magic wand that they can wave to change the economic climate and disperse the gloom.

Well the great news is that we magicians all have a magic wand and it's time to start using it to make 2009 a magical year.

Toward the end of 2008 I started to convert my Ultimate Magic Course to an Online Magic Video Club and it's now up and running and providing some great magic tricks and routines, fully demonstrated and explained on video, to our Inner Circle Members each and every month.

You see my original magic course, started as just one CD per month and quickly expanded to 2 Full CDs delivered by post to subscribers, over 13 months; - that's 26 CDs and growing.

With all this magical material and the ever-increasing task of burning, labelling and posting the Magic Course to eager subscribers, I decided to make life a little easier for myself and make access to my magic much easier and quicker for my customers, by converting the physical Magic Course into an Online Membership Club, where subscribers could enter their own exclusive Member's Area and view and download the magic tricks and routines every month at their leisure.

Although I'm still converting and adding even more material to the course, it is already up and running and proving very successful and as I have enough great magic material to provide monthly magic videos for the next two years, it's a certain way to make 2009 and 2010 the most magical years ever.

So if you want to make your life and the lives of those around you more magical, then get out your magic wand, pop over to : www.LearnRealMagic.com and grab some magic tricks and help to make 2009 a magical year for everyone.

Have a Magical Day.

Card From Pocket - magic trick

2008-07-30T21:16:00.002Z

Thought Card from Pocket

Here's another great little card trick that is well worth practicing. It's easy to do and has a great response from the audience.

ANY pack having been thoroughly shuffled by a spectator, take it back and casually spread the cards from the top, as if to have one taken, really count fifteen, insert tip of little finger and close the spread.

Announce that instead of having a card selected you will attempt to find one that has merely been thought of.

Take off the fifteen cards above the little finger and lay the rest down.

Take out of the fifteen any Club, then any Heart, any Spade and lastly any two Diamonds: remember the order C H S D D but take no notice of the values except that of the last D, which you must remember.

Fan these five cards and ask a spectator to mentally select one.

This done, drop the five on top of the pack and throw the other packet of ten on top of them and square the pack. False shuffle and cut if you can.

Next, casually cut some cards off the top, really five exactly, and push them into the middle; do the same with a small number, any number of cards from the bottom.

Again cut five exactly off the top, put them in the middle and any small number from the bottom into the middle.

The five cards from which the card was mentally selected are now on the top and several riffle shuffles may be made safely leaving them there.

Place the pack in your breast pocket and have the card named. You can then instantly produce it from the top of the pack in your pocket.

Another Easy Card Trick - Push!

2008-07-23T11:09:00.002Z

Here's another very easy but very effective card trick from The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks.

Push
by Farelli

ANY pack of cards is shuffled by a spectator and returned to you. Then with the blunt end of a pencil you push out a packet of cards from the middle.

Invite a spectator to note the top card of the projecting portion by lifting a corner and noting the card index.

You glimpse the index of the bottom card of the top packet as you turn the cards edgewise to push the projecting packet back in flush with the pack.

Now by running through the pack and noting the card below this one you know what card the spectator looked at.

The trick is done and you can now Reveal the card in some stunning way and in as striking a manner as you can.

After you have glimpsed the card at the bottom of the "Pushed Out" portion and pushed the packet flush once again, you can allow the spectator to shuffle the pack if you wish.

There is little danger of the two cards being separated if you allow the spectator to make a short overhand shuffle. This actually strengthens the effect greatly, as the spectator has first shuffled the pack then looked at a randomly "Pushed Out" card, - the card is simply pushed back into the pack and then the spectator is allowed to shuffle the pack once again.

It does appear to be impossible for the magician to actually know the name of the spectator's card. Just use your imagination to really build up the way you reveal the name of the card.

Has David Copperfield's Magic Gone Forever?

2007-10-28T18:08:00.000Z

I've always admired the Magic of David Copperfield and indeed still do.

However, my admiration for the man himself has greatly diminished since reading the news about the ongoing investigation into his alleged rape of a young lady at his hideaway island retreat in the Bahamas.

David Copperfield has built a huge reputation and amassed enormous wealth performing his wonderful magical illusions and has been greatly admired as a great magician and ambassador for the art of magic.

However, recent events and some of the alleged flaws in his character, previously unknown to the public, will almost certainly have a detrimental impact on his reputation and without doubt will tarnish the world of magic to a degree.

This is very sad, as magic has been one of the purest and cleanest all round form of family entertainment, untainted by foul language, drink, drugs and general unseemly behaviour that has unfortunately crept into other areas of the entertainment world.

It looks as though the Copperfield magic has gone and I'm sure everyone in the world of magic and entertainment will be disillusioned and disappointed in the disgrace this "magician" has not only brought upon himself, but also to the whole world of magic and entertainment.

Even if the allegations prove to be completely unfounded, the whole episode will surely leave a stain.

It's a great pity that someone so supposedly talented and intelligent and so expert at courting publicity, would put himself in any sort of situation that would be open to such allegations.

Maybe David Copperfield's magic tricks have caught up with him.

Let's hope that it will not have any real effect upon the otherwise wonderful world of magic.

Magic has so much to offer to everyone from young children and amateur hobbyists to full time experienced professional magicians and entertainers.

With the power of the Internet anyone who is interested can learn how to do magic tricks and with practice and guidance can earn a very nice living bringing joy and pleasure and much entertainment to others.

2007-09-26T21:56:00.000Z

Well without doubt the easiest type of magic and probably the most popular with beginners is "Card Tricks"...

I've put together a couple of articles giving some tips and advice about starting to learn how to do card tricks, which I hope you'll find helpful.

The Quickness of the Hand - Deceives!!

2006-04-04T11:37:00.000Z

IT'S MAGIC! - Everyone knows that it's not all done with mirrors.

In fact, it's the quickness of the hand that deceives the eye, as the saying goes, and this is what the experienced magicians rely on to amaze, amuse and generally baffle their audiences.

However, the would-be magician, or beginner in the world of magic, often finds it very difficult to learn the art, simply because the expert magician is keen to show off his magical skills, but is loathe to reveal the real secrets of magic.

So although the eager beginner is shown trick after trick, he seldom is able to learn the magical effects, because like the rest of the lay world, - "The Quickness of the Hand Deceives the Eye."

In despair he purchases magic books, but usually finds the text and line drawings and pictures very difficult to follow and so much of the magic remains a secret, known only to the experienced magician or those lucky enough to "be in the know", or to have a mentor who is prepared to demonstrate and explain the wonderful secrets of magic.

Help is at hand! - A retired Cabaret magician and entertainer has put together a comprehensive Magic Course, consisting of 13 monthly Lessons, which fully demonstrate and explain dozens of great magical effects in video.

The Lessons are delivered on TWO CD's each month and combine to take the absolute beginner to the point where he can confidently and competently entertain a paying audience in a thoroughly professional manner.

Who Needs Expensive Magic Props?

2005-05-13T18:47:00.000Z

Who Needs All These Expensive Magic Props?

Many magicians think that to really entertain the public with magic they need to acquire lots of fancy, complicated and expensive magic props.

In fact, some of them firmly believe that the more complicated the prop or the more difficult the "sleight of hand" then the better the magic trick will be.

In actual fact, they couldn't be further from the truth!...

You see, we all have our opinions about how many things are done, even if we don't really have a clue. We like to think that we can work out some logical solution. This is just the nature of the human being.

Well Magic is no different...

However, the essence of magic is creating the miraculous or impossible and certainly good magic defies all logic, otherwise it wouldn't be magic.

Like everything else we're baffled or confused by, or that we don't quite understand, - we make assumptions about how magic tricks are done.

Also the audience tend to regard themselves as pretty knowledgeable and sophisticated and they assume that the tricks must be done by lasers or electronics or something really clever and scientific to fool someone as clever as them.....

When in fact, the Best Magic is usually very simple - and this is why it actually fools the audience.

You see most people are looking for and assuming that it's something much more complicated.

As I stated earlier, many amateur magicians make the mistake of thinking that the more complicated the "Sleight" or the move and the more intricate and scientific the gimmicked props are, the more they will fool the audience.

Well, they couldn't be more wrong!

So if you're an aspiring magician and seek to amaze, amuse and entertain your audience, remember that the audience are already assuming you're using some sophisticated electronic devices and complicated and difficult "sleight of hand".

Why not fool them completely by performing the best magic?....
That is, magic that is simple, easy to understand and defies all logic....

Take a look at The Magic Touch where all the tricks are old favourites that have been used by professionals for countless years.

You won't any fancy and expensive props. There's a host of great tricks with ordinary, everyday objects that will baffle and amaze any audience.

Nothing But The Best - How to Do Your Best Magic!

2005-03-07T22:29:00.000Z

Let me ask you a question...

What are you good at?

I mean, what things are you best at in your work, in sport or
your hobbies and pastimes?

What subjects were you best at when you were at school?

OK, it's more than one question, but they really all amount
to the same thing....
What are you good at?

I'm sure if your really think about it carefully you'll come to
the same conclusion as I did and that is, ....
I'M MUCH BETTER AT THE THINGS I REALLY ENJOY.

So if you want to do your best magic, don't try to copy all
the great magicians you see on television or the really big
illusions just because you're impressed by them.

Usually we copy these things, because we want to receive
the same adulation, admiration and audience response that
these magnificent magicians command every time they perform.

However, you'll never be as good as these magicians unless
you're doing the things you ENJOY.....
AND THAT'S THE SECRET OF SUCCESS!

Pick the areas of magic that you really enjoy and you'll find
that you practice more and you'll therefore become really
GOOD AT IT.

That way you most certainly will command the admiration
and respect of your audience and your friends, because
YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO.
That's how you will perform your best magic!

Everyone Loves Magic! - and there's magic for everyone

Amazing Magic Tricks Revealed

Amazing Magic Tricks Revealed and Magic Courses - How to do Magic Tricks of all kinds

HOW A RED LIGHT CHANGED MY LIFE!

2004-10-22T15:49:00.000Z

HOW MY MAGIC CAREER ALMOST ENDED BEFORE IT HAD EVEN
STARTED.... BUT SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENED....

This may change your life too! .... I hope so.

Just image this... there I was driving to my first real professional cabaret performance and although I was well prepared and rehearsed, I was absolutely petrified, scared out of my wits.

I'd really wanted to be a performing magician for a long time and this was my big chance, but I didn't think it would be so scary. If this was "stage fright", then I was getting it in the car. I had a horrible sick feeling in my stomach that I hoped would go away before I reached the club.

At last I arrived and drove into the car park, but if anything I was feeling an awful lot worse. I kept saying to myself, "This is what you've always wanted to do, so now's your chance".

I sat shaking in the car park for what seemed like ages, but was probably only a few minutes...... No! It was no good. I couldn't do it, I just couldn't face this ordeal.

So I quickly started up the car, reversed out of the car park and sped away along the main road towards my home, my showbusiness career finished before it had even started.

I was actually relieved as I drove towards the main road junction where the traffic lights had just turned to RED and as I sat there, I thought of all the preparation I had done for this show and wondered what I would tell my family and friends on Monday morning....

There and then I decided to turn around and go back to do the show.

That was a great moment! - I drove back into the car park, quickly took my equipment out of the car and boldly walked straight into the club foyer. The receptionist welcomed me saying, "Ah, you must be the cabaret artiste for our show tonight".

It made be feel really good. I was at last a cabaret artiste, just what I'd always wanted, even although I hadn't done anything yet.

Although my nerves were really jangling, I got ready and waited for the call to do the first of my two half-hour spots.

To cut a long story short, I went down really well and was so elated as all the congratualtions and "well done" messages were ringing in my ears. To cap it all, some ladies were waiting at the dressing room and asking for my autograph. This was just ridiculous, this was my first cabaret performance, but there again, nobody else knew that.

However, let me tell you what made everything so frightening at the outset and so very satisfying when it was over......
You see, this was the premier Cabaret Club in Scotland, the place where everyone longed to perform and I had actually got booked for my first show.

There's a story behind how I actually got that booking, but the real story is the fact that I'm sure if that traffic light had been at GREEN instead of RED, I'd have been home and would probably never have performed magic professionally ever again.

It was a real turning point for me and really set the foundation for a very successful and enjoyable career as an entertainer.

I had started at the top and nothing would ever phase me again. I went on to constantly improve my act and thoroughly enjoy being a cabaret magician, thanks to the RED Traffic Light.

So if I can give you a bit of advice.... No matter what you choose to do, if you're always improving and growing, you'll always be pushing yourself just a little further into the unknown and the "NERVES" and apprehension will be there. - Don't let that stop you!

You see, if you prepare well so that you can carry out whatever you're required to do, with confidence, then you'll find the nerves just vanish when you start the job.

I can't promise you that you won't get nervous before a performance or before going to a new job or venturing into somehting new and exciting, because I always do, but I can promise you that if you've prepared well, then all the nerves and apprehension just vanish as soon as you start.

There's some tips and advice on overcoming nerves etc in the later lessons of the Professional Magic Course.

I hope that gives a bit of an incentive to learn some magic and then when you've practiced well, go out and entertain others. You'll enjoy it! It's a real thrill being able to amaze an audience and make them laugh. I often wonder who gets the biggest thrill them or me.

You don't have to start at the top as I did. That was too frightening and I wouldn't want to do it again. But just go on to greater things slowly but surely and I'm not just talking about Magic.

However, I've used magic to entertain work mates, to really spice up my sales presentations and increase my sales. I've had a tremendous amount of pleasure from magic and ultimately earned a substantial income for many years.

I would love to teach you all that I know about the world of magic and you can allow me to do just that by registering for my

IT'S ALL IN THE MIND!

2004-10-11T22:07:00.000Z

Here's another little effect that's really part of my Magic Course and is simply another way of vanishing a coin. - I've just added an amusing way of revealing the coin.

You can borrow a coin from a member of your audience, provided that it's not too heavy. You'll need to experiment with your own currence. However, I can say that all the UK coins work perfectly well. - I use the largest UK coin the 50 pence piece.

Anyway, let me just describe the it to you so that you get an idea of the effect before I give you a short explanation....

IT'S ALL IN THE MIND

Firstly you borrow a coin from a member of your audience and possibly perform a simple vanish, using something like the 'French Drop'. Then you say that you can actually vanish small items by using the "Power of the Mind".

You now clearly place the coin onto the palm of your left hand, and close your fist with the coin clearly still in the palm. You now turn your clenched fist over and give a little rub on the back of your left hend with the forefinger of your right hand, as you say, "It just takes a little concentration."

You next place your right hand onto your forehead, as if in deep concentration. Then SLOWLY OPEN THE LEFT HAND TO SHOW THE COIN HAS VANISHED!

As you continue to look at your empty left hand you remove the right hand from your forehead and say, - "There you are, VANSIHED BY THE POWER OF MY MIND."

However, the real FUN part is as you raise your eyes towards the audience, you say with a smile, - I can vanish things with the power of my mind but getting them back is not so easy."

You'll find there's GREAT AMUSEMENT as everyone can see that the coin is STUCK ON YOUR FOREHEAD. You look as if you're unaware of it being there and then when you relise what the audience are laughing at you, simply remove the coin from your forehead, hand it back to the person from whom you borrowed it and say, - "Powerful stuff this MIND POWER!"

So how's it done?....

The vanish is a nice little effect in itself and is done by placing the borrowed coin in the palm of your left hand , slightly towards the back of the palm (wrist side). - FIG. 1

If you now close your hand loosely and turn the palm downwards, your fingers will come into contact with the coin and and you can start to push it out of your palm towards the wrist.- FIG . 2 . This looks quite natural and is very easy, as your hand is turned palm downwards, gravity helps in the motion of pushing the coin part way out of your fist.

FIG. 1

FIG. 2

Now with your right forefinger extended you simply give a little rub and tap the back of your left hand a couple of times, and as you do this you slowly turn your left hand over, so that it is now facing upwards with your thumb at the top.

The vanish is actually done during this turning movement. As your right forefinger remains extended and is now tapping the thumb area of the back of your slowly turning left hand, YOU CAN SIMPLY CLIP THE COIN WITH SECOND AND THIRD FINGERS AND STEAL IT AWAY, as in FIGS. 3 & 4.

You'll find that this is very easy to do, as the coin will be sticking out in just the right position to grasp it with the fingers of your right hand, as your left hand slowly turns over. It is a simple matter for the right second and third fingers to grip the coin and secretly steal it and carry it away. This is an excellent and effective way to vanish a coin.

FIG. 3

FIG. 4

That's really the trick over, but you now need to use your acting ability to get the best and indeed the most amusing effect from the revelation of the coin on your forehead.

Once you have stolen the coin in the fingers of the right hand you simply let the right hand drop to your side and allow the coin to fall into the finger palm position. Or you can curl the fingers and push the coin into the standard coin-palm position, whichever is more comfortable. I prefer to let the coin fall into the finger palm, where it is in just the right place to stick on your forehead.

Next you hold out your left hand with the fist still clenched and supposedly still holding the coin and as you extend your left hand to the left side, you draw attention to it and keep your eyes on the left hand. You can now patter about the Power of the Mind.

As you are talking about the strange power of the mind, you bring your right hand up to your forehead and pretend to be concentrating very deeply and you press the coin against your forehead with the fingers. FIG. 5. Actually the act of pressing your fingers to your forehead is quite a natural one when concentrating and a little bit of play acting will convince the audience even more.

You'll find that the coin will stick to your forehead, due to the moisture and unless the coin is a very heavy one, you can take your hand away with confidence.. FIG. 6

FIG. 5

FIG. 6

Once the coin is stuck, you continue to stare at your left hand You then remove your right hand from your forehead, leaving the coin sticking there, and point to the left hand. This draws attention to the left hand and then with a magical wave of the right hand, you slowly open your left hand to show that the coin has VANISHED..

As you wave your hand over the left hand it is obvious to the audience that the right hand is empty and the coin has really vanished. As you are looking to your left at your left hand, most of the audience will not really see your forehead and as you show both hands now empty in front of your body you are looking down and you appear as bewildered as the audience as to where the coin has gone.

You can then just say how amazing it is that the coin has vanished by The Power Of The Mind. Then as you raise your eyes to face the audience you just smile and say, - "I hope I have the mind to bring it back again!" As you look up at the audience everyone will see the coin on your forehead and you'll certainly get a laugh.

The trick can be over at this point or you can take it just a little further by appearing to be unaware of the coin on your forehead and look as if you don't know what the audience are laughing at. Then when it finally dawns on you or someone in the audience tells you, you simply remove the coin and say, "You see it's ALL IN THE MIND".

Accpet the applause and return the borrowed coin with thanks.

It's a super little effect and you can have a lot of fun with it. You can also add a litle bit more fun by swapping the coin for one with a small nail or screw-nail stuck on it. FIG. 7. You can then dispaly this and rub you forehead and say, "All that concentration and using my Mind Power really gives me a sore head"
