Roadkillers
Video by David Acer and Richard Sanders
A
regular invitee at Fechter’s Finger Flicking Frolic, and a frequent guest
on David Acer’s MagicWorks shows in Montreal, Michel Huot is one of the
industry’s best kept secrets. His material has appeared in Genii, Magic
and Natural Selections, Vol. II, but this is his first solo collection,
and it contains simple riches the likes of which are rarely seen! • Ultimate
Aces: A strikingly visual change of four indifferent cards into four Aces
using an astonishing new sleight! • Don’t Follow The Leader: The movement
of two spectators becomes completely sympathetic with the movement of
their cards... but who’s controlling who? • Acid Trip: Your coffee engages
in a blistering battle with your spoon, resulting in an impossible transfiguration!
• Signed Quarter in Balloon: A signed quarter is tossed into the air by
a spectator, but when it hits an inflated balloon, instead of bouncing
off it, it drops inside! The quarter then rolls around in the balloon,
whereupon the magician suddenly grabs it through the latex and tugs it
back out, leaving the balloon intact! And more! Seven By Michel Huot is
the first in a new series featuring exciting close-up miracles from innovative
magicians working on the front lines! Written by David Acer, with a foreword
by Richard Sanders. 
An
insanely dynamic entertainer and innovator, Patrik Kuffs has made smash-hit
appearances at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, the International
Battle of Magicians in Atlanta, and on such varied television shows as
Popular Mechanics For Kids, Ad Lib and Urban Magic, with David Acer and
Richard Sanders. This book, his first, contains seven eye-popping showpieces
for stage and close-up, each one ingenious, engaging and astonishing enough
to steal a show! * Under The Table: A card is folded and placed under
the leg of a wobbly table to steady it at the beginning of a show. Later,
a card is chosen in the context of another routine, then promptly vanishes.
Impossibly, a spectator retrieves the card under the table-leg and unfolds
it, showing it to be his selection! * Invisible Touch: A spectator secretly
marks one finger on a drawing of a hand. A second spectator is asked to
extend his hand, when suddenly, he feels something touching a finger,
though there is nothing near it! The finger, of course, is the same one
secretly marked by the other spectator! * French Lint: A clean lint roller
is used to collect DNA left behind by a chosen card, only to result in
the name of the card mysteriously forming in lint on the roller! * Temporal
Anomaly: Two watches are borrowed from the audience, then both are set
randomly by two different people. When the two times are revealed, THEY
MATCH! And so much more! Seven By Patrik Kuffs is an inspired collection
of close-up, stage and mental miracles, rich in their simplicity, remarkable
in their effect! Written by David Acer, illustrated by Joey Incollingo.
Number Two in the critically acclaimed Seven By Series. 
Join
one of magic's most unique personalities for 110 minutes of wildly expansive
yet deeply intimate close-up mayhem! Four aces erupt from a face-down
deck in a sudden, explosive display! A borrowed finger ring links to the
arm of a borrowed pair of glasses! Three quarters penetrate a regular
deck that's resting on the mouth of a drinking glass! A bottle cap is
tossed into the air, then suddenly skewered on the end of the magician's
forefinger! A stickman drawn on the back of an indifferent card multiplies
and appears on the backs of all four cards in a packet, then vanishes
from all the cards but one--naturally, it's the selection! A borrowed
bill changes not once, but twice into currency from any two countries
chosen by a spectator. And the list goes on and on! 13 mind-blowing, eye-popping
routines straight from David's professional repertoire! LICKETY FLIP HOFZINER'S

Imagine
you have a few people at your home for a party, when suddenly, someone
asks you to do a trick. You shrug, pull out a deck, get him to choose
a card, then lose it in the pack, whereupon you turn on your TV and click
through some channels until you find one you like - lets say it's a scene
with a busy sidewalk. You step back, then spring the deck against the
TV screen. When all the cards have fluttered to the floor, one card is
seen to be sticking (back outward) to the screen! Or is it? For a man
walking by IN THE TV SHOW suddenly stops, looking straight into the camera.
He furrows his brow, walks up to the screen, then PULLS OFF THE CARD,
yanking it instantly into TV land! He looks at it on both sides, showing
that it is indeed the spectator’s selection, then he shrugs and walks
off screen! On Screen is an easy, mind-blowing showpiece that will turn
your next party into a sci-fi spectacle! Plus, learn 21 more sleights
and routines from the minds of David Acer and his friends, shot on tour
through Europe and Canada, including: • Big Time: The magician's hand
becomes an impromptu magnifying glass, enlarging the printing on chosen
cards, and ultimately upsizing the entire deck! • On Bended Knee: While
seated at a bar, for example, and with a wave of his hand, one coin resting
on the magician's knee changes instantly into another! • The Spice Rack:
A restaurant salt shaker is visibly stretched to twice its normal size!
• Ultimate Aces: Michel Huot's mind-blowing kicker for MacDonald's Aces,
featuring the dazzling Spring Change • Four on the Floor: A quick and
elegant production of four-of-a-kind from the demented (though not quite
addled) minds of David and Richard Sanders! And so much more! Caffeine

Pages, Hardcover Imagine a collection of material that is perfectly crafted
for real-world use, each effect tried and tested hundreds of times before
thousands of people, then trimmed to remove every last ounce of fat. Imagine
a repertoire of routines that can each steal a show, astonishing in effect
and cunning in method, parcelled in presentations that are amusing, entertaining
and engaging. There's no need to imagine, DeSouza's Deceptions is here!
Includes: Shapeshifter: One card, held at the fingertips, instantly changes
into another in this eye-popping move that has been popularized by the
likes of Allan Ackerman and David Blaine! Twin Transpo x 2 : Two cards
are chosen and signed, then vanish from the deck, only to appear inside
the magician's wallet. They are removed and transpose with each other
repeatedly under impossible conditions, then finally, the face from one
card transposes with the back from the other, leaving the magician with
one double-backed card and the spectator with one double-faced card, with
both signed selections on each side! Collection Agency : A lightning-fast
version of Roy Walton's classic Collectors! Three freely-chosen cards
appear face down and interlaced between four face-up Aces in the blink
of an eye! Quad-Ringle Plus : A borrowed finger ring frees itself repeatedly
from a length of rope, at times unexpectedly, at times visibly, then finally,
it vanishes, only to appear inside a card case that was resting on the
table from the outset! Die of Destiny : A spectator freely chooses a card,
then replaces it anywhere in the deck. So far, sounds familiar... But
then, with the help of a blank die and a fertile imagination, she first
eliminates clumps of cards, then individual cards, until finally, she
arrives at one lone card. Slowly, carefully, she turns the card face up,
revealing it to be her selection! Marc's beautiful approach to this Claude
Rix classic is worth the price of the book! Plus Miniature Bowling Ball
From Briefcase, SNOWFLAKE, Copper/Silver My Way, PICASSO’S BILL, THE COVER
CHANGE, and so much more! DeSouza's Deceptions is 142 pages of pure, audience-tested
deception, written by David Acer and lavishly illustrated with over 220
photographs. Hardcover, color dustjacket
