The magician presents a wallet to the spectator, and offers them a free choice of the three objects that are inside the wallet; a credit card, business card, and a bank note. Before the spectator can choose the items, the magician writes down a prediction of which items will be placed in which pocket of the spectator. The magician then looks away and shields his eyes, and asks the spectator to take the three items out of the wallet one at a time. As the spectator pulls out each item, the magician tells them to put that item in a certain pocket. Once the spectator has finished randomly selecting the objects, the magician turns back to the spectator and pulls out his prediction. One by one, the magician names the location of each object, to the amazement of both the spectator and the audience! |
A New Concept in Mental Magic
You display to the audience 16 numbered cards, each printed with different attributes-different colors, symbols and letters. A spectator freely chooses any one of them and after a pause for concentration, you read the spectator's mind and dramatically reveal their selection! - Easy to perform
- Resets quickly
- No forcing
Can also be performed as an amazing prediction routine |
Finally, an EASY to do "Card at Your Birthday" diary trick, with NO MEMORY, NO CALCULATIONS in your head, NO cue sheets to hide. Just use your favorite deck of playing cards and Kenton's unique secrets.
A deck of cards is spread faces to the spectator. The performer NEVER looks at the faces. The spectator names her birthday, and the performer sets one card down sight unseen. If you prefer, the spectator herself can cut or take a card and set it aside.
A large, full-color chart that has been sitting on the table the entire time is opened by the spectator. The performer mentions how personality types and cards often go together. She finds her birth date, and notes which card is listed as "her special card" on that day. Sure enough, this very card is the one she selected, or the performer set aside sight unseen.
You can use your own REAL deck and your own REAL pocket calendar or business organizer. But Kenton has created a beautiful chart, very esoteric in appearance. He did not stop there...
Use Kenton's Chart FOR READINGS too:
It's like a readings business kit. The chart is a very large 17 X 11 inches when open. The front cover of the chart is just as pictured above. You can't help but look at it! This works as an advertising card for your readings or performance.
Set the chart up on any table, anywhere, and you are set to do readings with no work whatsoever. The readings are written for you on the inside of the chart. Your opening remarks are hidden on the back side of the chart, or this can be read by prospective clients if you prefer.
NEVER has an "instant readings" kit been so easy, so commercial, so immediate. Whether you're a pro or an amateur, this is for YOU. Set the chart on your table (it opens like a book) and the front and back covers grab everyone's attention. They see instantly that you do some sort of reading.
The rest is just as easy, as incredible as that may sound. It is SIMPLE to get to the spectator's secret birth card without memory, cue sheets or anything else. With Kenton's ingenious thinking behind it all, the hard work has been done for you. All you do is spread the cards between your hands. Yes, the cards can be examined. It is in no stack known to man, so magicians and mentalists are floored too.
We just cannot say enough about this remarkable system by Kenton. Whether you use it to go to work doing readings right away, to add readings to your close-up, or to do the best version ever of the card-at-your-date trick, we predict you will be thrilled by this special kit!
Comes with the FULL color four page chart and sign, 17 X 11 inches printed (not color copied) on gloss stock. A very professional set up. You also get Kenton's instructions for the chart, different ways to use it, varied presentations, numerous linguistic tricks incorporated in the set up, and loads of simple ways to do personality type readings without fear of being wrong, giving bad advice, or getting stuck. You will always end strong, no matter what.
Kenton had a chart in the very expensive Wonder Readings system, and this has similarities. This version however is even more deceptive for the date on calendar effect, and easier than anything published previously. In fact, this is THE system Kenton uses to this day. Now that he has let his secret work on this out, you too will discover why so many love Kenton's "A Date With Destiny |

The performer places a one dollar bill and a one hundred dollar bill on the table along with a quarter. The spectator is asked to spin the quarter on the table while the performer's back is turned. When the quarter comes to rest the spectator is asked to remember which side is up. The spectator places the magician's wallet over the quarter so it is completely hidden. Next the spectator is asked to hide one bill in each hand. All this is done while the performer's back is turned.
The performer turns around and removes 3 business cards from his pocket. He writes down something on each one and places one in front of each of the spectator's hands and one in front of the wallet. From this point the spectator opens his hands, revealing which bill is in which hand and THEY turn over the business cards proving both correct! But wait... remember the quarter? The spectator lifts the wallet revealing the quarter landed heads side up. Again THEY turn over the business card revealing the words "Heads Side Up."
This is ACCURACY.
Key points: - No electronics
- Spectator may keep everything (if you can afford to give away 101 dollars!)
- No assistants
- No one ahead
- Nothing added or taken away
- No peeking

The spectator freely selects any one of the five ESP symbols. There is absolutely no force. The performer displays a Poker Chip, blank on both sides and drops it into a small pay envelope. The spectator is asked to concentrate on his selected symbol, as the envelope with the blank chip is held to his forehead. When the spectator subsequently opens the envelope, an impression of his selected design is found to have transferred onto the chip, engraved on it. That is the original effect, but we have added more. Variations include making the selected design jump off the card, which is now blank, and be found engraved on the chip. We even give you an extra and completely different effect with the props supplied, where you predict an ESP Chip selected by a spectator. You get every thing required - the ESP Cards, the engraved ESP Chips, pay envelope, all necessary "extras", and 3 pages of detailed routines. |

The legend tells that in the year 141 A.D. Antoninus Pius, The Roman Empire Emperor, had to go on a journey due to problems with the borders, while his beloved had to remain in the city. It is said that during that time, the Emperor communicated with his beloved in a very special and unique way: both had decided that, on a certain time of the day, she would write a message in the sand and Antoninus would randomly take some stones with different words engraved on them. He would turn the stones around and the message that appeared was the same as the one written on the sand (by his beloved). The following day Antoninus was the one who would write on the sand, and his beloved would choose the stones. In that way, at the end of that long journey, they were able to feel closer than ever before.
After telling the legend, the magician shows his audience six engraved wooden pieces which he will lay face down on a table. He also shows them a beautiful box with sand inside of it. The magician explains that, in the way of Antoninus, he has drawn a picture on the sand inside the box, which is now hermetically sealed, and he asks someone from the audience to hold the box in their hands and choose one of the six wooden pieces. When the box is opened, the picture on the sand is the same as the one on the wooden piece. The magician explains that this has been only one part of the experience and that now the participant (as Antoninus' beloved) will draw something on the sand and the magician (as the Emperor) will choose a piece and once again the experience will be successful. At that point the magician asks the audience: "Do you still believe the story is only a legend?"
This trick contains: - A wooden box.
- A bag containing sand.
- Six wooden pieces with different pictures.
- A stick for writing on the sand.

Ascension by Joshua Quinn
Imagine...
After establishing yourself as a person with some unusual intuitive skills, you say you'd like to put those skills to a real, measurable test. In order to do that, you need some sort of benchmark to compare them against. There are various items that could serve this purpose, from tarot cards to personality profiles. But, you explain, because you like to set the bar high, you've chosen the divinatory tool which, throughout the several-thousand-year history of esoteric practice, has generally been regarded as the most trusted source of metaphysical wisdom and insight into the human condition: a horoscope mini-magazine, direct from the supermarket checkout counter.
You give such a magazine to a volunteer, pointing out that it deals with four distinct areas of life: love, money, health, and leisure. You then turn your back and ask your volunteer to look up her horoscope -- either for the current month (if it's far along enough to get a good sense of how it's turning out), or for the previous month (if it's too soon to tell how this month is going yet). In either case, she silently reads her horoscope. When she's finished, you ask her to consider how accurate it seems in hindsight. She does, and arrives at a "percentage score" for the magazine's accuracy, which you write down. No matter what it is, you say you think you can do better.
You then turn to face the volunteer again, and proceed to give her a disarmingly accurate and insightful description of her personality and her current situation in life. This is no mere "cold" reading, as it contains a wealth of specific information that you had no way of knowing, including personal details about her character, actions, and circumstances, delivered confidently and unequivocally. You then wrap things up by revealing her zodiac sign, with no pumping or guesswork. With that, not only have you done much better than the magazine, but you've given the volunteer an intimate, inexplicable experience that she'll never forget.
ASCENSION really is just that clean, direct and strong. It's a system that uses layers of methods to deliver, in a completely untraceable way, the most powerful and memorable information that we as mentalists can reveal: personal details about someone's life. Furthermore, it does so in real time, with no writing, no setup, no assistance, no pre-show, and no stooges (instant or otherwise). How you use that information is then up to your own imagination.
"This is not just a 'new effect,' it's freak'n dynamite!" - Craig Browning
"Absolutely brilliant! I am very impressed with this, and I don't impress easily." - Tony Razzano
"Joshua has taken some clever ideas and brilliantly weaved them into a complete and impressive reading system. Not only are the principles well hidden in the workings of the routine, but it's also shockingly easy to do. Joshua has put an amazing amount of thought and work into the routine and the creation of the realistic looking horoscope mini-mags which do virtually all the work for you. Even if you have no experience doing a reading, this system will automatically make you look like an expert reader as you deftly demonstrate that you're better than the magazine astrologers. I highly recommend this ingenious product." - Jheff, Marketplace of the Mind

Astor Epic (No force Mental Epic) actually is the newest improved version of the Mental Epic. Similarly to the Mental Epic you can predict 3 different things with Astor Epic too 100%. The difference between this two trick is that there is no need to force in any way. Summarizing the Astor Epic is a very easily handling trick where the performer is able to predict 3 different things with 100% confidence without applying any method normally used in mental magic. So there is no forcing, no built in audience member, no pre show, no double writing, no nail writing, no nothing you ever heard or even known before. Without all of these there is a new and genius but very simple method.
Dimensions Approximately 12 3/8" x 17 7/8" (31.43cm x 45.40cm) |
For this trick the magician uses a transparent perspex board, five E. S. P. cards with blue back and five E. S. P. cards with red back. Every blue backed card has its matching red backed card. You will have the same E. S. P. symbols on the faces of these cards. The magician slips the blue cards into their slots on the board in an order only he knows. The spectator chooses one by one, in which matching slot the red cards should go, but he only sees the back of the cards. When the magician turns the board around, the blue back and red back cards are in the same order (top to bottom). You can show the trick twice and the order of the cards won't be the same. The cards are not specially prepared.

Next, the spectator looks through the book and finds the page numbered with the year of his birth. Again, without any questions or moves, the performer instantly knows the day and month in which the spectator was born!- No questions

- Fits in your pocket
Comes complete with full-color, spiralbound booklet, "crib sheets" and detailed instructions. |
The Attaboy is among the finest in apparatus, mental magic. The original concept is credited to Jack Hughes, who made several models working on the same basic priciple. This Bellboy model is based on the first and original model from which the trick gets it's name. The apparatus resembles a cut-out of a Bellboy, with two houlettes, one at his feet, and one near his hands. The houlettes hold a deck of cards, and cut-out fronts in the houlettes enable the audience to see what is inside the houlette. A pack of cards is displayed, which may be examined and shuffled by the audience. Spectators freely select one or more cards. Cards are noted, and shuffled back into the pack. The pack is placed in the houlette at the bottom. The cards are now taken from the houlette at the bottom, passed one at a time slowly in front of the Bellboy's eyes, and placed in the houlette on top. The spectators are invited to call "Stop" whenever they like. When they call stop, the card stopped at is turned around to show the face, and it is one of the selected cards. This is repeated for the other selected cards. The trick is absolutely amazing, because there is no force of a card, and the spectators are free to stop you at any card as you slowly transfer them one at a time from the houlette at the bottom to the houlette on top. The cards stopped at are the very same cards selected by the audience, - they may be signed if you so wish. The trick is totally mechanical and requires no palming, switches, or any elaborate sleights. The apparatus we supply stands 20" high, on a base measuring approximately 4" x 6". It is constructed from plywood and solid wood, and hand painted. The base and cut-out open out for ease in transportation, with the cut-out simply plugging into the base for instant assembling. The apparatus is designed to be used with any pack of cards, bridge or poker size. Supplied complete with instructions, here is an apportunity to get a classic prop and an excellent magic effect at a most affordable price. |
