Ultra Gum


-$55


A amazing piece of WOW from the fertile minds of Spidey, Deven Ye and Richard Sanders! 

Ultra Gum:
An impossible transposition between a borrowed bill and a FACTORY SEALED PACKAGE OF GUM!

EFFECT:
A corner is slowly torn from a borrowed bill. The corner is rubbed between the fingertips where it very SLOWLY and eerily vanishes! You are clean, No pulls, No TT's, No ditching...IT'S JUST GONE!

The spectator opens a package of gum that has been sitting on the table throughout. (It can even be in the spectator's hands) MIRACULOUSLY, INSIDE ONE OF THE SEE THROUGH PLASTIC BUBBLES OF THE UNOPENED PACKAGE OF GUM, is the corner of a bill!
There are no breaks or tears in the plastic or the foil.
This is a modern day impossibility!

The only way to get at the bill is to break open the foil seal, which the spectator does himself to discover the missing corner from the bill he loaned to you just seconds ago!

This amazing concept allows for transpositions, vanishes, appearances and more!

NOTE: Gimmicks are reusable, nothing to replace! 

ON THIS DVD, YOU WILL LEARN:
How to transform an ordinary package of gum into a secret weapon.
How to perform 6 extraordinary routines with borrowed bills and ordinary playing cards.
As with all Sanders Fx products, every nuance of the method, technique and presentations are layed out clearly and concisely on this DVD.
Learning couldn't be easier.

FEATURING 6 KILLER ROUTINES:

Cash Flow:
 A corner torn for a spectator's bill appears, seconds later, sealed in a pack of gum in the spectator's own hands.

Inside: A selected card vanishes from the deck and appears inside a pack of gum in the spectator's hand. The effect is repeated but this time with a torn corner from the selected card. The corner vanishes completely...a few moments later, a piece of gum is impossibly extracted from the unopened gum pack. The spectator opens the gum to find the corner from their selected card trapped inside one of the see through bubbles of the unopened, sealed pack of gum. An impossible ending to a killer effect!

Organic Transpo: A killer in your face transpo handling! Tear a corner from a borrowed bill and put it into your mouth. Slowly begin to chew the corner in your mouth where upon it suddenly transforms into a piece of gum. The spectator open the gum pack to find the corner from their bill impossibly sealed inside the gum pack.

Full On: A practical full bill handling for the effect!

Spidey's Time Travel Routine: Think Neo from "The Matrix" performing a mind bending effect with a piece of gum and a selected card. The spectator is actually convinced that you traveled back in time to perform an impossible torn corner in gum pack effect. An incredible presentation with a devious handling!

The VISUAL Appearance: An amazing piece of EYE CANDY to add to your already impossible effect! A wave of the hand, or a snap of the fingers, etc will cause the bill to VISIBLY APPEAR inside the sealed pack of gum. FIVE killer handlings included.

    Indecent

    -$45


    In life and in magic, there exists a line where the possible meets the impossible. There's a roadblock. A barrier. A limit. INDECENT crosses that line and never looks back.

    Here's what your spectator sees: a card is selected from any deck. It's a free choice-- no force. Signed. The card is then lost in the deck, then shuffled. The cards are then dribbled on top of a sealed Ziploc bag.
    Slowly, the bag is lifted up from underneath the chaos of cards to show that one card is sealed INSIDE the bag-- the spectator's signed card.
    Credit note: Inspired by an effect by Anthony Miller

    The damage has been done. What was once one is now four.

    You are completely surrounded. There is NOTHING else in your hands.

    Once complete, the card is shown front and back. All illusions must end. The card is torn, and the pieces are handed back to the spectator to keep. Forever.

    - Mickael Chatelain

    1 - COLORS
    The perfect Opening trick with cards! A visual color change where everything is given for examination! The magician remove a blue back deck out of a red cardcase and asks a spectator to touch any card. The performer taps the choosen card on the cardcase and its back becomes red! Then the magician taps the cardcase on the deck... that visually becomes red too! All the cards are now red... and are given for examination!

    2 - WRONG CARD
    The classic effect where the magician can't find the choosen card... He then takes the cardcase to tap gently the wrong card with it : It visually changes into the choosen one! No force, the card can be signed and the effect is really magic and visual!

    3 - SIGNED, TORN... AND VISUALLY RESTORED 
    Finally you will be able to perform in professional situation a signed, torn and instantly restored card routine... without any complicated sleight! Do you know how to do a triple lift? Then you can perform this incredible routine in less than 10 minutes!

    4 - CARD SHARK
    Without a doubt one if the easiest but strongest cards cheating demonstration! Imagine this : You cut the deck in two parts and ask your audience to shuffle them. Get the cards back together and you can instantly produce the 4 aces! (for exemple...). No palm, no sleight, as clean and so easy!

    5 - IN THE BOX!
    Have a card signed and lost in the deck. Explain that to find the card, you need to use your... credit card! Just take the cardcase and caress the deck with it : Your credit card visibly appears on the top of the deck! Give it to the spectator and explain him he can insert it wherever he wants in the deck, he will find his signed card under it. But he fails... You seem embarassed until you realize that the signed card has vanished... Show the cards one by one, the signed card is actually not in the deck anymore! Show your hands completely empty, and grab the cardcase stayed on the table : Open it, and remove the signed card out of it! NO PALM!!!

    6 - ILLUSION 
    Perform the Sub Trunk in Close-up! The magician remove an ace of spades and a Queen of hearts from the deck, explaining they will both represent « the Magician, and his Partner performing the famous illusion of « The substitution Trunk ». After having given the cardcase for examination, the magician puts the ace of spades inside and close it. The queen of hearts is openly put face up on the deck of cards... Then the magician takes the cardcase and tap on the Queen of Hearts that visually changes into the Ace of Spades! The performer opens the cardcase and the Queen of Hearts is now inside! A visual effect, totally self working , ideal for TV or for children.

    7 - BIRTH DATE 
    Do you like Mentalism? The performer asks a spectator to indicate him 4 people from the audience who know her very well. Each of them touch a card at random when the deck is held face down and the four cards are slowly put on the top of the deck, without any suspect move. The mentalist asks then to the spectator to turn the 4 cards face up one by one... their value indicates her birth year! Hard to believe, but completely SELF WORKING, NO sleight!

    8 - KNIFE
    Do you know the famous Gaëtan Bloom's Card Stab? In this version the spectator can shuffles the cards and put them by himself in the cardcase! Then you lock it with a rubber band ... You then gives a kniffe to hanlde to the spectator and drop the cardcase in an empty enveloppe... Suddenly, you impale the bag on the knife : The signed card is stabbed on the kniffe while the cardcase is still closed by the rubber band... Everything is done for examination ... No Palm, just devilish and hyper easy to realize!

    9 - WILLIAM PRO
    A card is choosen and lost in the deck in a very clean way. It seems impossible to find it back. The magician takes the cardcase and carress the deck with it as for a magic move : All the cards instantly turn face up! All the cards... except the choosen one! And everything can be given for examination right away!

    10 - TRIUMPH 
    A card is selected and lost in the deck. To make it more impossible, the magician shuffles the cards face up and face down : One can clearly sees that the cards are shuffled face up and face down... A simple magic move with the cardcase on the cards, and they instantly all turn face up... except the choosen card! A very easy and extremely visual version of the classic « triumph » effect that can be performed stand up without any table

    11 - GHOST CARD 
    A card is choosen and lost in the deck. The magician explains that to find it back, he will pick 4 cards at random. He clearly shows four cards in his hands and of if them appears to be the selection... A simple magic move, and all the cards vanish except the choosen one! Read that : No Palm!

    Factory Sealed

    -$60


    Nick Verna created Factory Sealed. He tried something with plastic and water that no one had thought of before. It worked.

    Bullet

    -$45


    Matthew Mello and Nick V. created Bullet. A plastic bottle is shown unmistakeably empty, then a borrowed coin is SIGNED (if desired).

    Digital Conviction

    -$47


    Digital Conviction is an amazing effect that can be performed anywhere and anytime with all borrowed objects. Everything is completely ungimmicked and examinable and the spectator keeps a souvenir that will surely make you unforgettable.

    Here is what happens in the effect. You approach the spectator and remove a joker or any card out of the deck. "We will use this as the wild card but we'll get back to that in a moment. Please will you select any card?" The spectator has a free choice of any card, nothing is forced. The selected card then gets lost in the deck. "Let's get back to the Joker." You remove the joker and place their initials on the corner of the joker. "Remember the joker is the wild card. Let's make this moment more memorable and take a picture." You now borrow their camera phone and take a picture of the joker with their initials. The spectator confirms that the picture on the camera phone is the initialed joker. The phone is immediately handed to the spectator and placed face down in their hand. "If I take the joker that we just took a picture of and give it a shake you can see that it changes to your selected card". With a closer examination the spectator sees that her initials are now on the selected card. Now you go in for the kill. "If that card changed in my hand then the picture in your hand should have changed too!" BIG reaction as the spectator just realized that they saw you take a picture of a joker with THEIR initials on it and it changed to their selected card with their initials on it.

    This effect is huge and it's a worker.

    Pip Streak

    -$45

    Pipstreak is a good way to freak out people in general, but a GREAT way to get kicked out of your next poker game. Why do you think Greg is performing the trick OUTSIDE the casino?!?!

    Oh, by the way, if your spectators are still standing, watch them fall as the pips instantly and VISUALLY jump back to each and every corner--leaving you and the card examinable.

    Technique

    -$45


    I want you to imagine that we are at a coffee shop having a conversation. I ask you to move to the other side of the room and write down any 2 or 3 digit number while I look away. I tell you to hold the paper close so no one can see. After a moment of concentration I am able to tell you with 100% accuracy what number you are thinking of.

    Now, imagine if I told you it was completely impromptu. A way to reveal a spectator's thoughts without peeks, center tears, impression devices, stooges, or any sort of linguistic deception. Take every overused method and forget them…this isn't it.

    Based on a nearly lost concept, this technique was redefined and simplified by Matthew. Similar ideas have cropped up in the past by such names as Karl Fulves, Al Mann, and even Tony Corinda. But, what you're getting here is Matthew's easy to use streamlined version.

    Using this technique, YOU NEVER SEE WHAT THE SPECTATOR WRITES DOWN. You're about to discover a practical method for the most realistic, jaw dropping mind reading you can perform.

    Other applications of the Technique principal:
    • Impromptu drawing duplication of simple shapes
    • Numerical values of thought of playing cards
    • Realistic demonstration of the standard scientific ESP test
    • Key points to consider
    • You never see what the spectator writes.
    • It is one of the easiest versions of it's kind .
    • The principle has multiple applications.
    • Bonus Effect included on the DVD
    • "Technique has been one of my secret tools. Now it's not so secret. I must say that I am genuinely upset that Matt let this go." Running Time Approximately 46min

    Pointless

    -$75



    Every person I saw him do it for was riveted because it's so simple and you can't figure it out no matter how hard you stare or how smart you are.  The moves are so blatant, right in front of people's face as they burn your hands... it doesn't matter because they can't see a thing. 
    Can't recommend it highly enough.  Get one of the [only 400] we managed to get, or shed a tear as the reviews pour in! --- Brad C

    Coin Waltz

    -$45

    Coin Waltz is Alex Pandrea’s take on the classic fusion plot in magic, where two objects inexplicably become one.

    A quarter is borrowed from a spectator and signed with a permanent marker. A second quarter is also signed. The coins are held at the fingertips and slammed together, merging them into a single quarter that is signed on both sides. 

    The quarter can be immediately examined by the spectator and kept as a souvenir.

    The Effect
    Steal This DVD is a collection of 7 effects from the mind of Eric Ross which are sure to stun even the most perceptive spectators. On this DVD, Eric utilizes everything from playing cards to rubber bands to a needle and thread. All the effects are taught in great detail with multiple real life performances on the streets of New Orleans. 

    Think Ink
    A card is chosen and placed back in the deck. A notebook is introduced and a blank page is ripped out. The paper is dipped into a glass of water (or any beverage) and the selected card appears on the paper in bright color. The piece of paper can be examined before during and after the effect and kept as an unbelievable souvenir. 

    Linkage
    Two rubber bands are shown and examined. The bands are held very openly and with no funny moves the bands link. This has got to be one of the most visual rubber band links to date. 

    Breathe
    This one is spooky. A card is chosen and placed back in the deck. Inspired by how Superman could freeze things with his breath, you blow onto a nearby window and their selection appears in the fog. The greatest thing about this one is that no gimmicks are required. 

    Xplode
    So visual and so unexpected. A card is selected and lost in the deck. When the first attempt to find the card fails, you instruct the audience to picture their card on the back of another playing card. With a flick the card explodes to reveal their selected card. 

    Wager
    This is a card and bill transpo that gets screams! A bill is borrowed, folded and placed into the spectators hand. A card is then chosen from the deck. Upon inspection of the deck their card has vanished and a dollar bill is in its place. When they open their hand it is revealed that they are now holding their selected card. 

    Book Smart
    Mentalism meets magic in a new and fun way. A spectator selects a page from a book, inspects it and notes the page number. A card is then chosen and placed back in the deck. The spectator is instructed to burn that card into their mind. Startled, you say, "I told you to burn it into your mind, not the book." When you go to the selected page... their selected card is now burnt into the page. 

    The Infection
    This truly bizarre effect allows you to thread your ear piercing with a needle and thread and allow a spectator to rip the thread straight through your ear. This is a beautiful performance piece that will make you stand out from the common trickster.

    Running Time Approximately: 72min
