Off List Magic
Many
of the most unusual magic tricks are things that we have carried only "off
the list."
These can be hard to find items with a very limited
supply (something we got a great price on that we can pass along) or just unusual
items that we're struck by!
Over the years we've carried a large number of
such items....
This page will change frequently and some very rare things
will pop up from time to time, so bookmark that URL. :-)
Beat
The House!
This booklet gives a truly excellent system for learning
to count cards effortlessly, and fun tips for doing it sucessfully from ex casino
security.
As you probably know, it's a statistical fact that if you play a perfect
game of blackjack there is an 87% chance you will double your money within 200
hands.
So, you're probably asking the same thing I would, if
it's such a great system, why would someone give it away?
The answer is simple,
over two years of play at low stakes tables, one friend calculated his winnings
to have been approximately $12 per hour of play. He was delighted, as
he loves to play. And, after 2 years of weekly play, he was still ahead by that
amount. But even a perfect counter only averages a 2% advantage, so it's
not a "get rich quick" scheme. It's a way to play all night
and 87% of the time you come away with cash.
Card counting can't be prosecuted, and it's fun to
know that YOU can play with the advantage.
If you're like me, at most magic
shows SOMEONE says "I bet they don't let YOU in Vegas." I think
it's fun to actually know the ins and outs of what someone "cheating"
by playing a perfect game might know.
One quick note: It is illegal in most places
to use a computer to beat the house. So, the simple plans in the booklet
for building card counting computers (including how to modify an ordinary calculator
or wrist watch) and everything else discussed.are for your informational purposes
only. I have a VERY limited number of these booklets left
and won't reprint these.
They can be ordered at the sale price of just $3.00

Here
is one item I can't be in any way unbiased about. In fact, in my mind
I can't understand why any magician, especially a mentalist wouldn't kill for
these recordings. But that's because I have an almost wild eyed love of
old audio recordings! I've been mesmerized by them all my life.
For
many years now I've gone to every extreme to collect audio recordings of magicians
of days past, and a few modern ones! These recordings are a treasure trove
of very, very powerful performances and ideas. But, they are
not only useful, they are hypnotically entertaining to listen to!
These recordings
feature such legends as Blackstone, Chandu, Dunninger, Houdini, Mandrake, and
MANY others.
When I say "every extreme," I mean it. Many
of these recordings were rescued (by myself and friends) from old reel to reel
tapes where they were archived in nonsequential order, and edited back together.
Some
tapes were fading away to oblivion. I went though tapes I would receive
and digitized them into MP3 format, and archived them lovingly onto CDs.
And,
that's where I think the second technological miracle starts.... Saving
the collection as high quality MP3s allowed me to put up to 80 HOURS of audio
on one cd! So my entire current library of over 232 shows, more than 100
hours of listening pleasure can now be yours on just two CDs. You
can instantly have what took me more than a decade to collect.
If you enjoy
radio drama, good story telling and powerful magic performances I think you'll
enjoy listening to these recordings for a very long time.
The entire collection
on CD is $29.00, and you know where much of that goes: collecting more
audio!
