Third Degree Burn $55

   

Third Degree Burn is the most mysterious, no force, impossible and versatile blister effect you've ever done. Imagine flipping-out a spectator when a blister of any card they name appears on your finger and thumb!

It's The Invisible Deck without the cards—and with more HEAT!

Effect

You approach a group of people, and ask someone to think of a card, and then name it aloud. It can be any card they wish. There is no force. The subject is asked to truly visualize the card in their head-to burn this into their mind, you give them a lighter (or just borrow theirs). After igniting the lighter, they are asked to visualize their card in the dancing flame. You briefly thrust your fingers into the flame, wincing with pain. For the jaw-dropping climax, you slowly turn your fingers around, to reveal the skin on your thumb and finger is now blistered in the shape of their freely-chosen card! You've just given' em the third degree!

Some key points to remember:
 
bulletNo deck of cards required.
bulletNo forcing; works with any card named.
bulletCan be carried with you at all times, fits in your pocket, and is always ready to go.
bulletNo reset (again, it is ALWAYS ready to go)!
bulletHarmless—but it does look dangerous!
Comes complete and ready to go with the professional custom gimmick (made to last a lifetime), instructional DVD, detailed manuscript, full routine, and bonus effects (including ideas that DO NOT require the use of fire!).

 

Perfect Bend Spoon $25

Perfect Bend Fork    $30

                          

Spoon  

Fork     

This has to be the most incredible metal bending we've ever seen! And it looks just like it reads! The performer picks up a spoon on the table, holds it at his fingertips, and proceeds to concentrate. Slowly, eerily, and methodically, the bowl of the spoon begins to bend until it is at a 90 degree angle. So far, nothing original, until you TAKE THAT VERY SAME SPOON and display it in its bent position, dropping it on the table.  The best part are the conditions:

No special set-up involved
No chemicals
Completely self-contained
The gimmick is nearly invisible
Can be performed completely surrounded
Can be instantly repeated with no reset involved

You can choose whether the body of the spoon or the bowl of the spoon bends!

Yet you can reveal the secret information almost instantly!

Kenton's Little Book of Wonders by Kenton Knepper $20

  

About 60 pages packed with original Kenton material never published before. Here are some of Kenton's cherished secrets such as his work with The Hoy Deck which sent mentalists reeling recently. This 5 1/2 X 11 inch booklet has more truly creative and honestly practical effects than most books three times its size.

EVERYTHING you enjoy can be found here. Close-up, mentalism, stand-up, weird magic. Plots never considered previously, and wild takes on a few forgotten classics. Here is a taste:

Pop popcorn in your hand - Spectators HEAR it actually popping!

Learn of Kenton's O.K. "Okito" box which uses hinged lids and mini-mint boxes. Yes, HINGED on lids as an Okito Box. This will create a new revolution in the Okito Box tradition.

Don't just melt a spoon - squish the bowl like it were putty. Is it putty? No! The bowl while seemingly molten instantly becomes solid again and the hands are seen empty. NOT like anything you have seen before. This is different.

Props are taken from a large Altoid type box, as the performer displays his unusual abilities. BUT, the box instantly seals itself shut with tape, postage stamps and more in a split second and in full view. The tape must be removed before the box can be opened to once again show all the props inside (including a borrowed item). This is impossible to describe and weird to experience!

A key chain with a light is held over a spectator's hand. The spectator attempts to light it with her mind. That never happens. But what does happen will surprise you and your spectator for some time to come.

There is MORE in this little booklet to be sure. Any one of these effects could have been marketed on their own, as many are doing with manuscripts these days. But Kenton, as he begins to wind down his writing for performers, wanted to cram as much as he could into one little booklet. That he has certainly accomplished.

Several secret groups were privy to small portions of this work last year. Each commented on how these methods were going to change their own methods, effects and presentations. Each group noted that at least several likely instant-classics were contained in this booklet.

This is truly a Little Book of Wonder which you can't afford to miss, and at a special price to top it all off.

PSI-CON RUSE $15 by Phil Goldstein
 
    
 
An Approach to Dr. Jaks' classic "Supersonic" (without the stand).
Effect: A spectator is asked to freely shuffle a deck of cards. The mentalist displays a book on divination, explaining that he has been studying Cartomancy-the ancient system of telling fortunes with playing cards.

An envelope is then given to the participant to hold and the performer says, "Even though we've never met before, inside this envelope is a Cartomantic reading that I've prepared just for you. Let's see if the system works!"

The top five cards of the shuffled pack are taken and displayed by being inserted into the edge of the book. The spectator is told to choose any of the five cards. The selected card is, for example, the four of clubs. The four unchosen cards are shown to be all different. When the fortune message is removed from the envelope, it reads:

"You have a compassionate nature and strong leadership potential. Your sense of humor is admired by others. Your lucky card is the four of clubs!"

Includes detailed, 8-page booklet written by Phil Goldstein and fully-illustrated by Tony Dunn and the five specially-printed cards on Bicycle stock that make this effect possible.
