Effects
PHOTO FINISH -- A bunch of photos cut into quarters are mixed and four pieces randomly chosen. These pieces form a complete picture.
NATURAL SELECTION -- The magician controls the spectator’s will to select the odd card among a group.
MAGIC SPELL -- Alphabet cards are mixed and five are chosen, but the word MAGIC comes up each time it is tried.
HARLAN HOOKUP -- The magician makes a spoon move with his mind, then demonstrates that he is creating an energy field between his hands which can easily be felt by anyone.
UNDER COVERS -- Writing appears inside a previously empty matchbook.
DESTINATION UNKNOWN -- Coins from various countries are hidden under cards and a small toy airplane is placed onto the card a spectator chooses. The cards are turned over and letters upon each spell out the country which matches the coin chosen.
MIXED EMOTIONS -- Poker chips bearing icons of emotion are stacked by a spectator and the magician predicts which emotions will be chosen.
BOTH SIDES AGAINST THE MIDDLE -- A spectator shuffles a deck under the table and reverses one card, placing it back in anywhere. The magician has predicted the reversed card and the card next to it.
CRYPTIC COOKIE -- A fortune is read which appears to have nothing to do with a selected card, but when folded it reveals the name of the selection.
This is another dvd available from L & L publishing. Dan Harlan does all the effects before a live audience and you can see what reactions he gets with the effect. Dan explains the effect clearly and consisely and shows you how to, in some cases, construct the needed items. As in all mental magic you must make the effect yours by creating the believableness surrounding it. Some of the effects can be done by a younger magician ( my 11 year old daughter can perform PHOTO FINISH, MAGIC SPELL and MIXED EMOTIONS).
If you want a well made dvd, with clear and concise instructions, with some great beginning mental effects you can't go wrong with this dvd.
