Maxello Magic

Imagine a "Signed card to impossible location" routine SO practical, SO visual, and SO clever that you'll HAVE to perform this brilliant effect EVERY single day! Well, imagine no more!

A Red backed prediction card is shown folded in quarters, wrapped underneath a rubber band around the card case. The "Prediction" card stays in full view throughout the effect. Next, a spectator is asked to freely select a card from a Blue backed deck. The spectator signs the face of their selected card which is fairly placed back in to the middle of the deck.

The magician says: "I've made a prediction, and the prediction card trapped underneath the rubber band came from another deck. Since that card came from another deck, it could also be the "soul mate" of the card that you selected. If my prediction card matches your selection...well, that would be amazing...wouldn't it?"

Cleanly, the folded Red backed prediction card is removed from underneath the rubber band and handed to the spectator. The spectator is invited to unfold the prediction card, only to find out that it's THEIR SIGNED SELECTION!

The spectator can keep the card as souvenir, and from this point on, EVERYTHING is fully examinable!

The Prophecy will come complete with a specially constructed Bicycle card case (Available in Red or Blue), special gimmick and a rubber band. The full-color photograph instruction booklet will also include bonus handlings and tips.

The Prophecy is the professional "Signed card to impossible location" routine, that you WILL use. You'll love the clever concept of this prop.

Color Telepathy is a true mental masterpiece!

After a deck of cards is thoroughly shuffled by a spectator, the magician displays three different colored rectangle plates, which are placed onto a stand.

Sets of three cards are removed from the shuffled deck and placed in front of each colored plate. The magician takes the cards from one of the colored plates chosen by the spectator and shows their values.

The spectator is then asked to choose one of the cards, and the other two are eliminated. There is no force of the chosen card, no process of elimination, but a totally free choice.

Any set of cards and color can be chosen. Next, an envelope containing a prediction is opened. This envelope has been in full view the entire time. The prediction is removed with the correct card written in bold letters!

Points to remember:

• Only one envelope and prediction card are used.
• There are no switches of any kind.
• Totally free choice of card.
• No carbons, or secret writers are used.

Comes complete with colored rectangle plates, envelope with special plastic prediction card, and stand. Use any brand playing cards. A fantastic routine to add to your stand-up act!

The magician shows a deck of cards, all different. The spectator freely selects a card from the deck, memorizes it and returns the card back into the pack. The magician concentrates on the spectators card, and removes ONE card from the deck, and places It face-down on the table. It really would be a masterpiece if THAT card would be the freely selected card from the spectator.

Next, the tabled card is turned face-up only to show that the card is NOT matching the spectators selection. The magician continues by placing the card face-up in-between the face-down deck, with NO moves at all the magician ribbon spreads the deck on the table, and the (only) face-up card in the spread is now CHANGED INTO THE SPECTATORS SELECTION!

But there's more! The magician says: In fact there is just one card in this deck that is your card. The selection is taken out from the spread and turned face-down slowly to reveal that now on the BACK of their selection is largely written with a black marker: YOUR CARD! An unreal effect with a kicker ending!

• The spectator selects a card FREELY and CLEANLY!
• The spectator NEVER names their card!
• Self-working!
• Easy to do!
• Resets in seconds!

Instant, stunningly visual magic at your fingertips with playing cards, credit cards, business cards, paper money, written predictions - you are as unlimited as your creativity!

The Shufton Card Catcher is a sturdy, specially constructed windowed envelope that puts your miracles center stage any time you want to perform them. You won't be caught off guard again with the Card Catcher in your pocket! Many stunning, highly visual effects are possible with this precision made, specially die-cut device. Objects will appear, vanish and transpose with ease, leaving your audience spellbound!

Many possible effects, always ready to go:
The Card Catcher is empty - they can see into it through the windows! A card is selected, signed and returned to the deck. Tap the deck with the Card Catcher, and a card appears inside it INSTANTLY! Remove the contents - it is their SIGNED CARD! Impossible!

Signed Transposition:
An unknown playing card is slid into the Card Catcher. They can see it through the windows at ALL TIMES. They select a card, sign it and return it to the deck. The card that was put in the Card Catcher before the selection - that has been in full view the whole time - is now removed. YES! It is their SIGNED CARD! This puts a terrible cramp on their brain!

Card to Wallet:
Have the Card Catcher in your wallet, or in another envelope. You are ready to do card-to-wallet at any time! NO PALMING! Put the card catcher into an envelope and mail it to your client with instructions not to open it until you are there! When you see him, have him select and sign a card and return it to the deck. The envelope he received in the mail is opened, and the Card Catcher is found within with a playing card "prediction" that can be seen through the windows. Watch his brain explode when the playing card is removed and it is HIS SIGNED CARD!

Torn and Restored Card or Bill:
They see a bill or card in the Card Catcher through the windows. Remove the bill or card and tear off a corner, handing it to the spectator for safe keeping. The bill is completely torn up and vanished. A bill can be instantly seen to appear in the Card Catcher! It is removed - the bill has been fully restored, but it is missing a corner. The spectator is still holding the corner, and of course it is an exact match!

Psychic Serial Number Reading From a Borrowed Bill:
A spectator provides a bill, which they fold up and slide into the Card Catcher - you don't want to even touch it! They can see the bill at all times through the windows, but the serial number is not visible - it is in the inside folds of the bill, which they folded themselves. It remains in view at all times on your outstretched hand. Almost immediately you start receiving psychometric impressions (perhaps with a dash of cold reading thrown in!), and you ask a spectator to write down a series of numbers as they occur to you. When the bill is removed from the card catcher and handed directly to the spectator, they open it up and discover that the serial number perfectly matches your divination! A psychic miracle with a borrowed, unseen dollar!

Business Card Open Prediction:
You write a prediction on the back of one of your business cards, and slide it into the Card Catcher where it remains in full view, though you cannot again touch it. They select a random number, or a birthdate, etc. When the business card is removed, the prediction matches! Not only a stupifying mental miracle, but a great way to give out your business card! Your Swami routine just got A LOT STRONGER - leaving no possible explanation!

Business Card Transposition:
Their business card is slid into the Card Catcher, where it can be seen at all times. A snap of the fingers, and it has changed into YOUR business card! A great impromptu piece of BUSINESS!

The Prediction Matches:
With a deck of ESP cards, or my preference, a normal deck of cards, this effect is a fine piece of mentalism theater! The mentalist selects a card from the deck as a prediction. It predicts the color and value of a card the spectator will randomly select. The odds are only one in 51 because only one other card in the deck will match. The mentalist places the prediction in the windowed envelope, back showing through the windows, so there can be no manipulation or funny business. Once in the envelope it is a committed prediction, which cannot be changed, yet it remains in full view at all times.

The deck is shuffled and otherwise shown to be a full deck, in a completely random order. Cards are dealt off the pack one at a time until the spectator says stop. Without looking at it, the card is left on the table (or in the spectator's hand) face down. It is shown that the other cards in the deck surrounding the selection are truly different.

The magician must show his prediction first or it wouldn't be fair! The prediction is removed from the envelope and turned face up on the table. Now all that remains is to see if the spectator's free selection will match your prediction � and, of course, it does! Astonishing!
