Many moons ago the brilliant performer and inventor John Cornelius released his FISM Flash product on the market and it was an instant hit with magicians everywhere John no longer manufactures his FISM Flash and others have attempted to pick up were he left off however these later versions have always seemed to fall short of the original concept… that is until now COBRA FLASH (CF) was engineered to accentuate your routines and to work reliably on command. Now you can add a brilliant flash which seems to come from nowhere to any effect at the exact moment you wish A few of the factors that make CF special is its durability and ergonomic design its ease of use and its ability to safely achieve the same effect as flash paper but without all the danger and restrictions involved. Also this unit contains multiple methods to trigger its flash. You have the option to activate the flash on command via an onboard push-button switch located on the body of the unit. Or you can activate Cobra Flash hands-free via a removable mercury tilt switch (sold separately) Just raise your hand to a predetermined height at the moment you wish to make an item vanish or appear and the tilt switch instantly activates the flash Alex Lourido personally designed the Cobra Flash amp made it light weight user friendly and very durable.

In 1958 Arturo de Ascanio who went under the stage name Marcus wrote the definitive book on the subject in Spanish. In 1975 Jose de la Torre released Ascanios World Of Knives in English which helped make the routine a staple of every close-up magicians act. The book was also one of the first Spanish magic books to be translated into English introducing the genius of Ascanio to magicians around the world. After being out of print for decades Ascanios World Of Knives is back and is better than ever with many clear photographs and illustrations that make all the techniques and routines easy to learn.

One of the bestselling mentalism books of recent times is now back and better than ever Luke Jermay has done it again He has decided to release more of his awesome material the routines which he uses to stun audiences around the world. In this important new volume Luke has tipped the real work on using Suggestion Techniques. Luke covers the Definition Creation theory along with several other techniques and teachings. This coupled with his ground breaking applications of the four Convincers is enough to transform and amplify your performances right away. But thats just for starters Wait until you see some of the effects he teaches. Imagine yourself performing these routines A plucked rose visibly wilts and dies as you talk about the fragility of life. An aura reading routine which climaxes with the spectator genuinely seeing your aura – and you can provide proof You cause the spectators sense of time to physically slow down (we dont just mean their watch although of course that happens as well). They are almost unable to physically move as they are stuck in a single moment of time. You perform a version of Out Of This World with a borrowed deck with no set-up no sleights or switches. In fact the spectators intuition can even be shown as correct for each individual card as it is dealt This is the real work on the verbal control of a spectator. Despite being blindfolded you can read a selected sentence chosen at random from a borrowed book with your fingertips You can even scan through the whole book with your fingertips and comment on the story and characters. Did we mention that the blindfold is real and that you genuinely cant see a thing and you can do this anywhere anytime Imagine having your spectator actually feel their thought leave their mind and enter yours – imagine no more With the Burst Bubble suggestion your spectator will believe they felt the moment of magic happen inside their own mind This new extended edition now includes Lukes fantastic routines Room 101 and Central Reservation Pages 223 – 6 x 8.5 – Hardcover… Read more at our Magic Shop – World-of-magic.co.uk
