I just read this new ebook by Rus---wow! It is actually 3 ebooks that Rus previously wrote but didn't do much with and he combined them into this one ebook. There are 17 effects. I won't go through each one but will comment on a few that stood out to me. First, let me say people are always looking for "underground" effects or new material. This is the real deal.
1) Animate--Spectator selects a card from a shuffled and deck and they select the only blank card in the deck. The spectator is asked to draw any card on the blank card and when it is held up and shook, it visually changes to the actual card from the deck. This is a really strong effect that blows people away. Suprisingly easy to do--awesome misdirection. 2)Scribble--Four blank business cards and the spectator puts one in his poicket. Spectator selects a card from a shuffled deck and the performer tries and fails three times writing down the card on the three remaing business card. Spectator takes out the card he is holding and the correct card is written on it. Again easy and wonderful presentation. 3) Psychological Choke--This is a crazy new idea I have never heard of before. It involves telling someone a story and then after you slowly draw a line across their throat with your index finger they are unable to swallow when you ask them to. It sounds like Darth Vader using the dark side of the force. I really like this and like I said I have not seen this before. 4) Heckler--Not only is this a great way to deal with a heckler but it is an amazing mentalist effect as well. A deck is examined and shuffled by spectator/heckler. He chooses a card and puts it back in the deck. You reveal the card and then you take it one step further and change every card in the deck to the selected card. I love this and will use it. Most people say if they use one effect from an ebook that it was worth the money. I will use multiple effects from the ebook. Also, I just named 4--there are some other incredible effects in this ebook. Rus really is an innovative genius and this ebook confirms it. |

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 |

I won't describe every trick as this has already been done. This ebook has some interesting effects in it. My favorites are Key'd where a blank key ring reveals a spectator's card. Dexplode sounds great but looks to be very time consuming to construct. Psychological Choke has me very interested. Lastly Boxchange where an incorrect selection is visually changed to the spectator's selection by rubbing it with the card box. While some routines contain moves that are too bold for me I can say that for the price and all these effects,some of which are very creative, this pdf may be worth you checking out.

I received this new ebook from Rus on Friday and had a chance to read through it that evening. There is some great material here but I'll concentrate on the effects that I've actually used.
Last night performed several of the effects from the book 1. Dexplode- This is a very cool take on the "card on ceiling" effect. The kicker being that the deck- rather than simply falling back to the floor "explodes!" There is a bit of set up here, but I made it up in less than half an hour and now I've got something that should last for countless performances. this drew great reactions. Rus also has a variation which can be done in the spectators hand. 2. Key'd. A great card revelation with some cool psychological subleties. Again needs a little set up but you can pick upp the necessary for a couple of pounds ($2-3). Spectator "feels" the effect happening in their hands. Very cool effect that gave strong reactions 3. Scribble Easy to do effect using business cards that provides a great card reveal and leaves the spectator with a business card. I like this as the performance allows for plenty of self deprecating humour as you repeatedly fail, before hitting them with a delightful ending. These effects are the ones I've actually performed and I was delighted by the repsones and reactions. Now the great part of this for me is that I only read the effects the evening beofre and with a few practice run throughs to work on patter etc I was perfoming the next night. The remainder of this book has a great mix of effects which I wholeheartedly endorse as potential workers although I have not had the chance to put them to use. This is another very strong release from Rus and if you are on the fence as to whether to pick this up - GET IT! PS - I am not a professional magician just a very keen hobbyist that loves to perform as much as possible. |

The only problem I have with this is that I don't have time to try everything! a lot of these could be stand alone products. More thorough review coming soon hopefully but if you want a good chunk of practical magic, get it!
