Martin Gardner wrote a book called 'Match-ic', but it's been out of print for quite awhile. There are also many match tricks and stunts in his 'Encyclopedia of Impromptu Magic'.

Match IC is available as an ebook from Lybrary.com. A pretty good deal for 4 or 5 bucks. Many of the tricks mentioned in this post are included. It covers wood matches, paper matches, puzzles and stunts/gags.

I like to open with Daniel Garcia's Warning which uses one match. I don't think that this is available anymore because its not the healthy to perform all the time, but you could probably find it somewhere.
Since I've already lit one match, I'm set up for my voodoo ash on the specs palm routine (which gets me more girls phone numbers than any other trick I do for some reason). If I want to keep going with the matches theme I vanish the SECOND match (that I just used for the voodoo ash) and it reappears burned and reconnected in the match book. To close, I explain that I always put the matches back in the book because I hate wasting matches. When the spectator questions this logic, I take the burnt match and "re-light" it. A very easy routine that plays big at the bars I frequent. |

That reminds me of a killer on those DVds. Chameleon is one I have used a lot, and it leaves 'em with jaws dropped. Worth the price of the entire DVD.

There is also a neat card transforming into a matchbook with a gimmecked card in Dan Hauss very first Penguin Live lecture from 2012. I think he is also selling the gimmick himself.
Part of the lit and restored routines mentioned above are explained in the Penguin Magic's "The Greatest Beginner Magic DVD Ever featuring Oz Pearlman and Jessie Geneva", which I think is free for download from Penguin.com

Here is an interesting matchbook trick. Not difficult and does play well.

BTW, I can't find the Firetrap trick mentioned in the first posts. Does anyone have hints to share about it?
Thanks! Andrea

How about the routine where you thread a closed matchbook on a string and with the ends held, you then remove it under a napkin cover. When they think it is so easy , have them try. They find that the matchbook is stapled completely shut.
Also, one where you hold a matchbook closed, at your finger tips. You ask them to name a number between 1 and 20... The total number of matches in a matchbook. Once they name the number, you open book and remove that exact number ... One by one. Then you show that the matchbook is completely empty. Kind of a prediction. Think this was in MAGICK. Shooz
With you in thought(s)
