Really?
I am not aware of that. I am from asia, and there is nothing about magic over there. Can you point me to a source? Thanks |

I pm'd you, though I'm not sure the explanation couldn't have been written here.
Best, Guillaume |

Hi Guillaume,
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it Phil |
Nicholas Special user I predict that I now have 900 Posts |
Bev,
Would you provide me with a PM on that one, also, please. I've done it for a long time...but...I'm not seeing the tell tale sign that lets me know it's the same method. Or, I've been doing it incorrectly for a long time. ??? I'm puzzled. Nicholas |

I believe that can be found in the excellent book "Martin Gardner Presents"!

I LOVE this one!
Drew McAdam had in my opinion the best solution to that! But as a result of a brainstorming I started time ago on a private forum for Mentalists, John Riggs also cam up with another workable method for it! What I LOVE even more... it's impromptu! No gimmicked match, glass, matchbox, nothing! http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=15
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

I;ve seen this done with toothpicks as wel las matches. Now, I know that several people on (other) forums have suggested that this is the effect that I show in my book (It's caused a lot of confusion). Let me assure you that it is NOT the same effect. This from the book http://droobybooks.zoomshare.com
"Here is what I did: I promised the group that I would do something at the end of the evening… and I did.) I explained that the problem with producing telekinetic effects is that people think that if you’re touching it, then you can monkey around with it. I also explained that in laboratories around the world, where they check for telekinetic phenomena, the scientists get around this by isolating the experiment. The semi-sozzled regulars thought this seemed like a reasonable idea. “Let me show you how it works,” I said. I asked the barman for a pint tumbler. Having procured that, I asked around if anybody had a box of matches; which somebody did. They gave me the box, and I withdrew one match. I then went behind the bar and sat the box on its end, striking paper to the shelf. I then took the match and balanced it across the top of the box – at right angles. Then, taking the pint tumbler, I covered the whole lot. “The glass ensures that no external movement can disturb that match; not even the movement of the air in the room,” I explained, encouraging their agreement. Reaching up, I placed my business card beside the glass. “Now, everybody concentrate… beam energy at the match. In your mind, command the match to move. Where the match is, nobody can get near it. Nobody can touch it. The only way we can move it is with our mind… Do not break your concentration. Just stare at it and will it to move!” And while all that was going on… I slipped out into the night. I climbed into my car (I had only had one small bottle of beer, okay?) and drove off towards my pal’s cottage where I was spending the night. Guess what? I was only five minutes down the road when my mobile phone rang. (Amazingly, mobile phones do work in many areas of The Highlands.) I pressed the answer call button and a jabber of excited voices greeted me. “It moved!” and “It slowly tipped up and then fell off!” and “You weren’t even here… Where are you?” and “Jeez, this is the most incredible…” And so on. A psychic event, under impossible circumstances, and I wasn’t anywhere near the place! Everything that was used was theirs. And everything is left to be examined to their heart’s desire. Isn’t that just SO cool? AND HERE’S WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED… This has to be one of my favourite effects...." Sorry, but I'm not giving THAT away! (There are actually a couple of different methods / presentations in the book regarding this demonstration. Drew |

Isn't that (drew's effect) explained in Paul Daniels' adult magic?
|
Drewmcadam Inner circle Scotland 1238 Posts |
Dunno - never read any of Paul Daniel's stuff. However, this is based on a very old effect that didn't work very well - if at all! (So that may have been the one Paul Daniels printed up.) I DO remember reading my father's books more than 40 years ago - he had an extensive library of dove pan, flags and "weird contraption" type magic books (he used to perfrom in white bowtie and tails - bless.) It MAY have been in one of them. It's one of these things I had known about for a long time but, like a lot of stuff in these books, I couldn't get to work to any kind of satisfaction... and so gave up. But this has been given a whole new makeover, a great deal odf experimentation and a version 2. (Mind you, it IS ony one small effect in the book!)

What would a real mindreader do?
