Time Traveler by Tom Burgoon George Washington Takes an Incredible Trip into the Unknown The Story Im sure youve all heard the story of George Washington crossing the Delaware River during the battle of Trenton in 1776. But theres a strange tale about this even that the history books seem to have left out. It seems that as Washington was crossing the Delaware with his troops they encountered very rough waters not to mention huge pieces of ice. As Washington stood perched surveying the river the boat struck an unseen piece of ice just below the surface. Washington fell from the boat into the icy river. (DROP DISK INTO GLASS) the troops frantically tried to rescue their leader but the ice and rough water made it impossible. George Washington The Father of our Country had apparently drowned. Now for the really weird part As the saddened troops finally reached the opposite side of the river they were stunned to see George Washington standing on the bank without a scratch and bone dry Needless to say the attack on the English went on as scheduled. (THE GLASS IS SHOWN EMPTY and THE COIN IS REPRODUCED from the POCKET) The Theory Some say George Washington fell into a type of Time Vortex that projected him into the future and across the river. Washington had absolutely no recollection of what happened after hitting the ice water. He never spoke of the event again. Comes complete with secret gimmick and routine … Read more at our Magic Shop – World-of-magic.co.uk

(from XLIV.iv) Steven Price in his Anatomy of Keys draws us into the intricacy of Harry Houdinis character as the Master himself entered trunks chains a web of knots.

666 Mentalism by Howard Adams (Book)
February 25, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
666 Mentalism by Howard Adams Howard Adams has been around for a LONG time and his specialty is self working and mathematical magic and mentalism effects. I have no idea how his mind can generate these kinds of effect with this much variety but create he does. Howards books and booklets have been released in series (Such as OICUFESP and MINDESPA) and in books by a variety of publishers. The commercial effect Will the card match is based on one of Howards principles. Look at any list of creators of easy to do self-working card effects and Howards name will be high on the list. Howards contributions can be seen in Simply Impromp2 by Aldo Colombini and Howards book Mathcasts Aspellonu is often quoted as a resource for this kind of material. In this book Howard has created 66 self working packet effects using 6 cards each. (thus the title get it 666 Mentalism) Each effect is explained in Howards straight forward no-nonsense and to the point fashion and we have left them as he wrote them word for word. You can read a sample here. I think often people ignorantly poo poo self working magic because they dont understand it. It is true that you will find NO sleight of hand no finger flinging and no hard to do gaffs in this book. Instead you get 66 (Plus a few extra bonuses) simple effects and plot outlines that can be done 100 in the spectators hands Many of these do not require the performer to touch the cards at all. Some could be done over the phone or through the MAIL. I know of several performers who have used this kind of magic over the phone with radio DJs heard by thousands and thousands of listeners To the listening audience you could read minds or predict an outcome that you have NO WAY OF INFLUENCING. The material in this book is great stuff for brainstorming and workshops.
