ANIMATE
Spectator selects a card from a shuffled deck Funnily they select a blank faced card (This is the only blank card in the deck and gets a good laugh) Spectator is then asked to draw any card they like on the blank card. The card is then held up and shook as it visually changes into the actual card from the deck. The deck is then spread to show all is normal and that the drawn on card has gone! (The drawn on card can then be found in your wallet or spectators shoe etc) SCRIBBLE Four Blank business cards are shown both sides to a spectator. Spectator is then asked to select one of these and place it into their pocket A deck of cards is shuffled by the spectator and a card selected and committed to memory. The magician now tries to read the spectators mind and tries three attempts to write down his thoughts on the three remaining blank cards. BUT FAILS….. In a last attempt the magicians ask’s for the blank card that the spectator has had hold of from the very start to write his final guess… Only to find that the spectators thought of selection has already been scribbled across the card ahead of time. KEY’D EFFECT Spectator shuffles, selects and commits a card to memory. The cards are shuffled and placed away. Performer then produces a bunch of keys showing a blank metal faced key ring. After the key ring is shown front and back this is handed to the spectator to hold Spectator is then asked to think of their card, as they do this the tag is felt to suddenly heat up. After a few moments the spectator is asked to name the card they are thinking of…. As they open their hand they will notice that the thought of selection is now scratched into the key ring S.T.O.C A Joker is shown and placed faced down on the surface, the spectator is asked to sign the back of the joker, and this is left in full view. A deck of cards is brought out and shuffled by the spectator; one card is selected and committed to memory. The cards are placed away and the spectator is asked to concentrate on the card they are merely thinking of. After a few moments without saying anything performer gestures towards the tabled signed joker that has been in full view the entire time. Spectator turns over the card….. It’s now the thought of selection. DEXPLODE This is an addition to the “Card to ceiling” plot that I know a lot of magicians perform, I wanted to add something a bit crazy, so rather than having to bound the deck with an elastic band to stop the cards falling everywhere, I designed a deck that EXPLODES into four square blocks! HIDDEN A spectators thought of card appears folded up inside their shoe MERGE Signature transposition effect PSYCHOLOGICAL CHOKE Psychological story effect ENCLOSED Favourite card to envelope HECKLER There’s always one where ever you go Heckler is a routine I put together after encountering various IDIOTS in bars and nightclubs that want to make a nuisance of themselves and ruin other peoples fun including your own, so I devised a fun little routine that leaves their mind with nowhere to go and makes you look like JESUS! PIP MY RIDE Spectator selects and shuffles a card into the deck Performer then shakes the deck in an attempt to get the selection to jump to the top The attempt fails as an incorrect card is shown. The card is only one pip out! The performer now places his thumb over the pip and VISUALLY removes it from the card! Changing the card into the selection. CONTAC Spectator shuffles, selects and signs a card. A corner is torn from this card and the remainder of the card is passed to the spectator. An empty tic-tac case is introduced. The corner then visually penetrates the tic-tac case right in front of their eyes ending up inside the case. Both the card, tic-tac case and the torn corner can be handed out to be examined or kept. BOXCHANGE A card is selected, signed and lost in the deck. Performer shuffles and cuts an incorrect card to the table The empty card case is slowly rubbed over the tabled card. The card slowly, visually changes into the signed selection. The empty card case can be handed out all examinable. JITTERBUG EFFECT This is a variation for two spectators of the above effect in which the two signed selected cards are used Spectator one’s card is shown on the table, the card is then changed by rubbing the box over it into spectator two’s card. Spectator one’s card is then found to be the only card reversed in the centre of a table spread deck thus a strange transposition has occurred! VISUAL GLITCH Spectator shuffles, selects and signs a card. This card is lost in the deck The top two cards taken in the other hand and shown to just be two cards As they are turned over and shown as two and turned back face up the selection appears between the two cards Again the selection is placed slowly into the centre of the deck, the top two cards are handed to the spectator, a quick snap and the selection appears between the two cards that are in the spectator’s hand. COLLARED Spectator is asked to think of a card as the performer places a single random card into their pocket. Spectator names aloud the card he thought of… The pocketed card is bought out and shown to be a joker? This is then placed onto the spectators hand… After a few moments the spectator is asked to turn over the card in their hand. It has changed into the selection…. BUT where did the joker go???? It’s now seen hanging from the spectator’s shirt collar. In addition to the 17 effects and ideas listed above, Rus also includes 3 switches that he uses. I will not dig deep and peel back the onion on this release but will say that this is a true value for the asking price Rus has placed on it. I wanted to list the effects so all can clearly se that there is something here for everyone, ideas and effects that you will use.I have read through each and every effect here and have now begun to go through them with cards in hand. Animate, Scripple, STOC,Enclosed, Contact, WOW! Off to a great start here. Reccommended |

What does £10 buy you these days?
Maybe a couple meals at McDonalds Give the golden arches a miss this time, go hungry for a day. The delight you get from your Big Mac will be short lived Spend the money on something that will have a longer lasting effect 17 of them to be exact This E book is delightful in it's economy of words and absence of fluff Just an effect, a method then onto the next. If you only find one thing to use then you'll have got value from it I suspect however that people (especially you card guys) will use many of these effects Go on, give your digestive system a rest, and your brain a treat Steve |

This is absolutely fantastic value for your money, Dexplode on its own would be worth the asking price (yes I know, that old cliche, but it's true!).
Some of these routines are quite bold (love it!) but technically there's nothing really difficult. I've watched Rus work in the real world and while he takes risks only a few take (James Brown and Lee Smith to name a few) he's routined these effects so the misdirection is so well covered that even a novice would be able to learn them very quickly. If you like strong ballsy snappy type magic then I guarantee you will get quite a few routines here. You will also learn some great misdirection, plus some excellent audience management tips as all of these routines have been 'fired in action' in bars and restaurants for real people. Gary Jones.
