I don't know if Bob Solari ever sleeps. The guy keeps coming out with new stuff all the time, and what I really appreciate, is that he keeps those items affordable, and always finds the shortest distance between two lines, in terms of simplicity. Here are some new effects of his I really like:
Send-a-Thought. Somehow, Bob has managed to take one of my favorite all-time effects: Eddie Joseph's "Premonition", and streamline it. No math, NO INDEX! A spectator calls out any card from a deck of playing cards. The performer pulls a deck out of his pocket, finds the named card and gives it to the spectator. After reiterating the fairness of the chosen selection and asking the spectator if it is possible to send a thought across the room, the performer invites the spectator to reach into the performers suit jacket pocket. Inside he finds a duplicate of the freely selected card. This is straight forward mentalism at its finest. Learn in 5 minutes, no sleight of hand, no indexes used, complete with Bicycle® Brand cards. Micro Card Rise: This is a limited release. Only 100 pieces will be manufactured (all hand-made by Mr. Solari.) You can see the time and craftsmanship that went into making this, with great attention to detail. Effect: A spectator selects a card from a deck and is asked to remember this card. Performer points to his/her shirt pocket and states that in this pocket is a card that matches their selected card. The performer removes this card from his pocket showing it to be the King of Hearts, but this card does not match the spectators selected card. The performer asks the spectator the name of their selected car. They respond with [example] "the four of Spades". Slowly a single micro mini card rises from the "pocket" on the King of Hearts. It's the four of Spades!!! This very special King of Hearts is hand crafted, hand fitted and hand tested by me [Bob Solari]. 100% mechanical, under your control at all times. Limited to 100 pieces! Each set of instructions are numbered and signed. Great collectible! Red or Blue back Bicycle® . Precious Metal: Very clever idea, that takes the audience by surprise: The magician displays a spoon and tells the audience that he is going to change the physical properties of the metal right in front of them. The magician begins to concentrate on the spoon and the audience expects to see it bend.... but instead it is now a fork! Both hands are clean, easy to do, no sleights, no pulls, instant reset. Only one utensil is used. |

I will have to agree about Precious Metal. Obviously this would be an excellent effect in a restaurant but it would also make a funny and visual effect should you choose to add it into a larger metal bending routine. The spectators will be very surprised to find that instead of the spoon bending, you "changing its physical properties" actually means changing it completely into a fork (fully examinable)! The instructions come with sample patter and full handling, along with photos. Very commercial and easy to do.
This was $19.95 and you can find it here: http://www.gmrcreations.com/bob/16-50.htm#preciousmetal |
