by Haim Goldenberg

View Clip

The perfect, portable mentalism effect, which is perfect for stage, walk around, and close-up!

MY PRECIOUS is an amazing routine that is based on a combination of the finest concepts and principles in mentalism.

The routine that is suggested is taken directly from Haim Goldenberg’s act, which he has performed successfully for the past six years. MY PRECIOUS is well polished and is one of Haim’s favorite routines.

The performer shows the strong relationship between women and their jewelry, and how the last affects the woman’s body-language. With 4 volunteers on stage, you, the mentalist, will be able to determine which ring is whose just by looking at the women’s body language. And most impressive – you will be able to describe a ring just by watching at the body language of the volunteer.

The routine is full of humor and charm! All the necessary accessories are included along with the specially designed leather bags.

Very easy to perform – no special preparation! Adaptable to any kind of performer. Flexible - create your own routine! No pre-show work at all and no special preparation!

Small, easy, and clean! Put it in your pocket and you are ready to go for a full 5-8 minute entertaining routine!

ALL NEW:Inside Thoughts by Haim Goldenberg - Trick

Inside Thoughts
by Haim Goldenberg

View Clip

Inside Thoughts is a brand new way of predicting. It is smooth, simple and has a great range of possiblities. You can predict almost everything with it, from single number and cards till countries, brands, and even corporative mottos.

Effect

You ask a volunteer merely to think of any one digit number. Then ask him to speak it out loud so that everybody can hear him (of course you can invite him, to change his mind as often as he chooses to). Let's say he chose the 4 (as always you make sure that everyone agrees that it was completely free choice). You then take the envelope, which was lying their all of the time, and pull out of it another, smaller envelope. As you turn the smaller envelope upside down a note falls in your hand. On the note is written the number 4.

Inside Thoughts is a new multi-optional envelope that will not only enrich any performance but also it is an easy outlet to "save" any unpredictable situations.

Comes complete with index cards, envelopes, and instructions.

ALL NEW:My Story by Uri Geller - Book

My Story
by Uri Geller

This is the autobiography of, and the first book by, the famous and controversial Israeli psychic known throughout the world as the man who - apparently by force of will - bends keys and spoons, who mends broken radios and stopped watches, and who has demonstrated in controlled experiments at the University of London, at the Stanford Research Institute, and elsewhere, staggering extra-sensory powers. It is Uri's own story, in his own words, of his incredible powers. 'It amazes me,' he says, 'every time these things happen. I want to jump up and point them out to people.' And it also tells of Uri's ambivalence about what he can do and about the enigma it poses. 'I ask myself why does it have to be watches, keys, metals? Why do they throw me symbols?'

Here, too, is the story of how Uri came to raise his powers and of how they affected him. His was a normal childhood (with loving though divorced parents, dogs, a dislike of school, typically adolescent adventures), except that strange and embarrassing things seemed to happen when Uri was around. He describes an event in a 'magical mystery garden' when he was three or four. He recalls his first telepathic and clairvoyant experiences: reading his mother's mind, on several occasions sensing potential disasters, shocking his school-teachers when he took tests and wrote compositions ('Many times mine was exactly the same as the guy's sitting five chairs behind me'). He reveals a fantastic incident that occurred while he was training in the Israeli Army and tells of his uncanny foreknowledge about combat in the Six-Day War (he knew he would be wounded). And he describes his first public appearance, an event that started a new life for him, propelling him into international celebrity. Since then he has baffled audiences and scientists everywhere.

URI GELLER: MY STORY goes beyond anything written elsewhere about this extraordinary man. It tells of Uri's experiments with distinguished scientists - tests that verify beyond doubt the existence of his powers. It describes the series of broadcasts in Europe-when psychic energies were transferred from Uri to viewers in their own homes. It reports the strange and apparently interrelated phenomena that began in Israel: voices speaking from tape recorders, objects levitating or disappearing and reappearing, encounters with flying saucers. And it ends with the strangest event of all - one never before revealed - at once the, epitome and the culmination of all that has gone before.

Uri Geller's autobiography is a story that staggers the mind.

PROFESSOR J. G. TAYLOR:
I have tested Uri Geller in my laboratory at King's College, London University, with specially designed apparatus. The Geller Effect-of metal bending-is clearly not brought about by fraud. It is so exceptional that it presents a crucial challenge to modern science, and could even destroy the latter if no explanation becomes available.

DR. HAROLD E. PUTHOFF and RUSSELL TARG Stanford Research Institute:
We have observed certain phenomena with the subjects [including Uri Geller] for which we have no scientific explanation.

DR. DAVID BOHM and DR. JOHN HASTED Birkbeck College, University of London:
We feel if similar tests are made later, enough instances of this kind will probably accumulate, so that there will be no room for reasonable doubt that some new process is involved here, which cannot be accounted for or explained in terms of the present known laws of physics. Indeed, we already feel that we have gone some distance toward this point.

"Is he a fraud or a phenomenon as he bends metal by what he contends is the power of his mind alone and performs telepathic feats with a considerable degree of accuracy? The fact that even respected scientists who have tested the 28-year-old Israeli under controlled conditions, supposedly cheat-proof laboratory conditions, are asking that question opens up a whole new bag of possibilities for an adventurous mind." -Chicago Daily News

"The scientific community has been put on notice 'that there is something worthy of their attention and scrutiny' in the possibilities of extra-sensory perception. With those words the respected British journal 'Nature' called on scientists to join - or refute - millions of non-scientists who believe human consciousness has more capabilities for real perception than the five senses." -New York Times editorial

"Under doubly strict laboratory conditions, Targ and Puthoff said 'No magician has been able to duplicate through trickery the psychic feats performed by Uri Geller and others. Some won't even try.' " -Los Angeles Times

"One hundred years ago we'd have burned Uri Geller at the stake. Now we put him on the Johnny Carson Show. We've come a long way." -James Fadiman, Stanford University

About Uri Geller

Born: 20 December 1946
Birthplace: Israel
Best Known As: Paranormal celebrity famous for bending spoons Since the late 1960s, Geller has been known for his claims that he can bend spoons or fix broken watches using the power of his mind. Geller's own web site lists many other "scientifically unexplained" powers which he says he possesses, including telepathy, dowsing, and causing seeds to sprout with the power of his mind. While he has many doubters, Geller has turned his claims into a successful career as a spooky and entertaining media figure.

Geller's first name is pronounced "oori" rather than "yuri"... Geller has a long-running public feud with James Randi, a magician who specializes in debunking the paranormal... Michael Jackson was the best man at Geller's 2001 wedding... A former paratrooper in the Israeli army, Geller fought in the Six Day War of 1967... Like Chuck Barris, Geller says he once was in the secret employ of the CIA.

ALL NEW:Paradigm Shifter by Ben Harris - Trick

Paradigm Shifter
by Ben Harris

The Perfect Magnet to drive Ben Harris' Enlightenment - The Ultimate Floating Card or any PK Effect.

Compared to other PK magnets, the Paradigm Shifter is quite moderate in it's strength. It is designed to be finger palmed for close use to the Enlightenment Engine. Some of the larger and stronger PK magnets in the marketplace will have to be held further away from the Enlightenment Engine. The more powerful the PK magnet, the greater the distance for activation. A STRONGER MAGNET DOES NOT give a higher levitation.

The N rating of the Paradigm Shifter is a moderate:

Material: NdFeB, Grade N42
Magnetization Direction: Thru Thickness
Weight: (61.46 g)
Pull Force: 87.90 lbs
Surface Field: 5360 Gauss
Brmax: 13,200 Gauss
BHmax: 42 MGOe
Rubber Coated, seamless

Dimensions Approximately 1" x 1" x 1/2" (2.65cm x 2.65cm x 1.4cm)

ALL NEW:The Enlightenment by Ben Harris - Trick

Enlightenment
by Ben Harris

The Ultimate Floating Card

"The Power Of Enlightenment" is not "the talent for acquiring wisdom"—as one might assume. Rather, it is the rarely seen ability to make any given object incrementally lighter—sometimes to the point of defying gravity—to "enlighten". Here's the key effect: A spectator shuffles the deck and nominates any of the cards as her favourite card. This card is removed, examined and placed face up onto the top of the shuffled deck. The spectator HOLDS THE DECK IN HER OUTSTRETCHED HAND. On the performer's command, the selected card slowly breaks free from the vice-like grip of gravity—rises into the air—floats for as long as the performer wants, and then slowly descends. So freaked-out is the spectator that she breaks with protocol and reaches for the selected card—turning it over—looking for some secret. NOTHING IS FOUND! It simply looks amazing. Spooky. Hauntingly beautiful.

Amazing magnetic control feels like "real magic!"

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Spectator handles the cards throughout.
Performable in the spectator's hand, on the table or in your hand.
SELF-CONTAINED: nothing added or taken away.
Can be repeated with another card and without any reset.
Can be performed surrounded.
Spectator may keep card as souvenir.

A paradigm shift in magic with magnets

The principle is completely NEW. Ben Harris has spent 25 years developing the concept and making it practical. The final result, we predict, will revolutionize how magnets are used in our art. Just imagine: thread-free levitation effects with any flat, small objects—

DOLLAR BILLS (any currency)
PHOTOGRAPHS
DRIVER'S LICENSES, etc

You are supplied with the precisely balanced (factory-made) gimmick in plastic and alloy, 12 month warranty, Quick Start Manual (in English, French, Japanese and Spanish) and the 100 page book, Enlightenment: The Ultimate Floating Card. This book details the history of the effect's development and the intimate details of the Floating Card Application.

Bonus: Floating Bill On Spectator's Knee.

Requires typical PK-Style Magnet for operation.

PARADIGM SHIFTER MAGNET available as optional extra.

Custom designed by Ben Harris (26.5mmX26.5mmX14mm, rubber coated)

ALL NEW:Lead the Way by Wild-Colombini - Trick

Lead The Way
by Aldo Colombini

A great and unusual mystery.

An easy trick to do, suitable for stage too.

Effect

You show two packets of cards: Six red cards and six black. You place the packet of red cards on a stand backs to the audience and do the same with the packet of black cards on another stand. You turn over a 'leader' card in the front of each packet (a red card in front of the red packet and a black card in front of the black packet.) The packets are switched back and forth several times and the cards follow the 'leaders.' At the end all the cards are back in two packets: Red and black.
