This trick is medium skill.
-Effect
The magician invites a spectator to stand near a car, he then asks the spectator to check that the car tax disc is inside the windscreen. The spectator agrees, the magician then places his hands over the disc and pulls it out trough the solid glass.
-Preparation
This trick needs along piece of fishing line, two identical tax discs, a car and a spectator.
-Method
Attach a piece of fishing line to the tax disc inside the car and run it out to the trunk and out to the back of the car. Have your assistant ducking down behind the back of the car holding the line, where the spectator cannot see him. Palming the duplicate disc is inside the car. With the disc in your right hand, cover the tax disc with your hands. This you cue to the assistant. He pulls the line and keeps pulling until the disc is ripped of the windscreen and pulled right inside the trunk at the back and out of view of the spectators. Meanwhile, you pretend to struggle to pull the disc from inside the car, hand it to the spectator and casually walk off. It is good to really look like your putting a lot of effort into getting the tax disc through the wind screen.
The card flick revelation
-Effect
A spectator chooses a card from a deck of cards. The deck is shuffled by the magician and the given to the spectator to shuffle. The magician draws out a card from the deck, not the chosen card and holds it in fingertips. He gives the card a short sharp flick from behind and instantly the card changes into the spectators!!
-Preparation
Two decks are required. Choose a card that you want the spectator to choose and glue it back to back of any other card in the deck. Out of the top left hand corner (for right-handed people) before gluing leave a small needle or long pin sticking 2cm diagonally out of the cards. This should be glued half way firmly inside sandwich of cards. You should now have a card with two faces and the little pin protruding about 2cm from one corner.
-The trick
Force them to choose the necessary card by your favorite force method. Shuffle and loose the card in the pack. When they are shuffling the deck withdraw the prepared card from your pocket with you left hand being careful not to let them see it. As they pass the card back to you, receive them with both hands, left hand facing you so they don’t see the cards and bring your hands together on the deck, left hand with prepared card on the top of the deck and right hand facing in wards under the deck (almost like praying position with a deck of cards in-between you hands!). Keeping your hands moving and in one continuous motion draw off the card that is in your left hand.
To the audience it looks like they shuffle the pack and you draw off a card when it is returned to you. If the whole action is done with hands slightly faced towards your body the back of your hands hides many of motions so they might not even know that the card came off the top. Hold the card by the very tip with the pin between your thumb and forefinger of the left hand. The face they can see not their card, their card’s face facing you.
Ask them that is their card,” no, “they will reply. “Oh”, you say,”in that case concentrate very hard on your card. “After you say this give bottom right hand edge of the card a short and sharp flick and let it flip over on the pin you fingers. To the audience their card will appear just by flicking it!! They will think you really are Blaine in disguise.
-Hints
Don’t let anyone stand behind you for this trick; they will see the double-faced card. You will have to figure out yourself how to get rid of the double-faced card without them seeing it.try practicing in front of a mirror to refine the flicking action so that the card can complete make the complete 180-degree flip. It won’t look good if it didn’t quite make it.
Voodoo ash
-Effect
A name is written on a piece of paper on a notepad by spectator, the paper is torn off unseen by the magician, crumpled up and placed in ashtray. It is then rubbed on the magicians arm and the name of the person written on the paper mysteriously appears.
-Preparation
You will need a small notepad, pen, ashtray, lighter and a small piece of soap or wax.
-Method
The spectator is asked to write the name of a person or favorite anything of theirs on a notepad. Then to tear of the sheet of notepaper, crumple it up and place it the ashtray, where the magician then sets the paper light. The magician takes the notepad of the spectator and should be able to see the imprint of the name written on the paper above in the next sheet of the notepad. Looking at the pad should not be made obvious and some misdirection carried out while he carefully takes the small piece of wax or soap and writes the name on the imprint on his arm or hand (this will not be visible to anyone). The magician can then take some ash from the ashtray an rub it over the wax where it will stick and create an impression of the spectator’s word to their amazement. See the included real Player movie demonstrating how to perform this illusion. This is a great trick but depends on the magician creating an atmosphere with an entertaining routine and patter about black magic to enhance the effect and create misdirection to allow him time to pull of the trick.
Fly resurrection
-Effect
You’re walking down street and casually pick any spectator. You ask them to come with you to nearby car and pick a dead fly off the windscreen. You hold it in your hand a few passes with the other hand appear to be really concentrating, while the fly slowly comes back to life, to the surprise of the spectator.
-Preparation
Freeze the fly
-Method
You need to catch a fly and freeze it, which puts it in a temporary coma, swatting the fly hard enough to immobilize it then placing it in small container in the freezer can do this. The fly then needs to be quickly taken to a suitable windscreen in the shade and placed there. it is important that the car is in the shade to prevent the fly from defrosting too quickly. Then go and find a spectator and take them back to the car, which should appear to be randomly picked. The heat of you’re hand will revive the fly, which should soon start to move. A lot of this trick is in the actions of reviving the fly, it may be necessary to practice how long it takes for the fly o revive it self. Freezing the fly with dry ice or even one of these aerosol canned air products for cleaning computers is a better way of freezing the fly as it is quicker and causes less damage to the fly
