Long-time Australian pro magician, Kevin Casaretto, has assembled a volume of 10 fantastic effects with as many different themes with patter, using one of three gaffed cards that all magicians already own.
Magicians – you are given an incredible diversity of top-flight magic…transpositions, transmutations, vanishes, appearances, an assembly, gambling themes, ESP, classics of magic, and incredible topological problems – all within this one e-book. 10 amazing effects all eked out after years of performances.
Some may say “Oh I don’t use gaffs…I’m a purist!” That’s fine…but don’t blame me when someone fools you badly at your next meeting.
Also provided is an informative forward by Paul A. Lelekis and a very nice history of gaffed cards by Kevin Casaretto.
Contents of JANUS:
JANUS – A card, sandwiched between two cards, transposes with a selected card. This effect has a “Wow!” factor that can’t be described.
SIGNED, SEALED, and DELIVERED – This transposition of two signed cards is not only simplicity itself…but may well be the most powerful effect that you will ever perform. Your spectators will freak out!
2-CARD MONTE – This timeless classic will definitely go into your repertoire. All of the hilarious patter is included. Paul provides a video of exactly how to perform this amazing effect and it’s fun for everyone.
FIVE COLOR TWIST – This trick is E-Z to do, and mind-bending. The Aces turn face-up and face-down…then their backs change colors three different times. Everything can be inspected.
MAGAZINE MENTAL TEST – ESP at its finest. A spectator chooses a page of a magazine, and you read her thoughts while your back is turned. No one will figure this one out. So very, very clever!
CARD TO WALLET – A selected card flies to your wallet…and then changes back colors – twice. Use any wallet.
CHANGING BACK – This is Kevin’s variation of a popular Dai Vernon effect. Two cards change their back colors and can even be inspected. You have to see this trick to believe it…incredibly fair – yet so deceptive.
IT CAN’T BE DONE – A fun and engaging “Do As I Do” effect with three phases that will stun your spectators…and it all happens in their hands.
ONE AT A TIME ACES – Kevin’s version of an Ed Marlo effect. This is a one by one assembly of the Aces to the leader position…and then the Aces all change color. Learn a true classic of magic here.
TURN-OVER CARDS – This one is fun to do. 8 cards turn face-up and face-down under impossible conditions. Everything is performed nice and slow and deliberate…yet, the impossible keeps happening. Included with this effect is a video by Paul Lelekis, teaching a popular display/sleight that few magicians perform properly – this video will “Up Your Game”.
“Rarely…if ever…has a book of magic had so many winners in it. I love all 10 effects…and I’ve pretty much seen it all!” – Paul A. Lelekis
