	Strange Travelers	$19.95
	This is David Blaine's single favorite effect. The actual deal-closer David used for most of his professional career. It helped him close the deal on his first Network T.V. special: Street Magic. Effect You show someone a batch of twenty cards... all different. You give her ten of the cards to hold. You now have her just think of one of the remaining ten cards. She never says a word. No one except her knows what card she's thinking of. These ten cards are counted again. Strangely... there are now only nine. The one card she'd been thinking of has vanished! She's still only thinking of her card; it's never been named out loud! She counts the other ten cards she's been holding; ten cards you haven't touched since the beginning. But now she has eleven cards! The strange traveler has arrived... her thought-of card is now staring her in the face! Strange Travelers is a streamlined version of a classic effect that was Nate Lepzig's favorite over 75 years ago. Other variations have come and gone. David re-discovered this hidden gem, and the rest is history. And the really good news: Blaine's favorite effect is extremely easy to do. No palming. No difficult moves. Just a simple elegant handling that just about anyone can learn. Complete with Paul Harris' revised gimmick and routines, which includes a version where you start and finish with a normal deck. Strange Travelers: David Blaine's favorite effect, his actual deal closer, can now be yours.

	Prime Cut	$24.95
	Here’s the effect. Ask anybody to just name any one of the 52 cards. Their choice is totally free they can name any card. Imagine, the victim cutting the deck EXACTLY at the card they just named! It’s AWESOME. View Clip The effect is a classic. It was perhaps the best effect in Juan Tamariz’ book Mnemonica. Many performers attempted to learn this method but found it takes months of work to master. Even when mastered, during many performances you were forced to use “outs” to bring the effect to a successful conclusion. Those who took the time to master the effect however found that the reaction from their audiences made the effort worth it. Prime Cut uses an amazing method that is so easy that anybody can do it with 100% accuracy in just a couple of hours. It works every time and your audience’s reactions are always through the roof. Why…because there are no “outs” as in all of the previous methods for this killer effect. Once you’re forced to use an “out” the effect and therefore the audience reaction is lessened. Prime Cut will put the power of the best card trick “on the street” in your hands the day you get this amazing DVD. Skill Level: EASY Phone Simply the best trick over the phone…EVER! Here’s why. The effect is direct. You just call the victim. It’s the victim’s own deck. They shuffle and cut. Then they think of one of the cards. You tell them what card they’re thinking of. The effect is a real skull cracker that goes right to the center of their brain! Phone is a diabolical solution created by Eddie Fields. It’s hard to believe an effect this deadly could be absolutely dead easy to do. But it is, in fact it’s self-working! Skill Level: Very Easy

	Phoneomenon	$29.95
	Cause any prediction to appear on a stranger’s cell phone.

Here’s the effect as recently featured on two different TV specials: A random stranger in the crowd is focused on remembering a card when suddenly her cell phone rings. She takes her phone out of her pocket to check who’s calling only to see the name of her card staring her in the face. Phoneomenon is the result of Doug McKenzie’s life long fascination with cell phones and how to secretly load them with information. He includes all the street smarts and technical tricks needed to transform any cell phone into a heart-stopping Phoneomenon. Includes a wide variety of methods to suit different performing situations. No gimmicks or special devices required. Multiple presentational ideas described in detail.

STAKED

BRUTALLY POUND A SOLID STEEL STAKE THROUGH YOUR FOOT!

View Clip

Effect

The sharp end of a normal stake is pressed against the center of your shoe-covered foot. Using an ordinary hammer or rock, you pound the stake inch by inch into the center of your foot. Each loud whack of the hammer visibly drives the steel shank deeper into your foot...until it is completely impaled. The solid steel stake is now actually imbedded into the surface beneath your foot!

Your staked foot is visible from ALL angles. And then, while a spectator holds the stake steady, you slowly, gut-wrenchingly, slide your impaled foot half way up the solid steel shaft...and stop.

Your impaled foot is now seen to be completely penetrated from above and below by the steel shaft. Again, this riveting spectacle is visible from all angles.

You, or a spectator remove, the solid steel stake from your foot. You unlace your shoe and slowly pull out your foot, revealing that it is completely unharmed...except perhaps for a small blood-stained hole in your sock.

Stake yourself with any UNGIMMICKED screwdriver, pen, spike, nail, wood stake, knife, sharpened wooden dowel etc.
