Introduction by John A. McKinven
In 1981, Jim Steinmeyer produced Jarrett, but that was only part of the story… The Complete Jarrett is a spectacular new edition of the infamous Jarrett Magic, the controversial 1936 text on stage illusions. Guy Jarrett had constructed illusions for Thurston, for leading Broadway shows, sideshows and world’s fairs. He thought a lot of magic could be better and put his secrets and
Further Impuzzibilities is Steinmeyer’s latest collection of novel self-working conjuring effects. It is a follow-up to his 2002 collection of self-working conjuring included in Impuzzibilities.
So what’s included in this new book? As the sub-title makes it strangely clear, one can expect to learn Still More Strangely Self-Working Conjuring. There are in fact 10 powerful, intriguing, and mind-boggling illusions that Steinmeyer presents to the reader in his usual clear and concise format. Among these are the following:
Ramón Riobóo holds a doctorate in deception. He is the 1992 recipient of the Ascanio Award and winner of the 1993 First Prize in Card Magic from the XIX National Magic Congress in Barcelona. He will yank the mental carpet from under you without your seeing him reach for it. It is only as your sense of reality falls away that you begin to understand you have been the target of a cunning structure designed to baffle the most analytical mind.
Cards are chosen and lost without the magician touching the deck – yet he finds them.
5 Pin-Demonium (Dan Garrett): Linking/Unlinking Safety Pin routine. Based on Un-Safety Pins by Han van Senus as printed in Apocalypse vol 5, No 2 (Feb 1982).
7 Four Card Reiteration (David Williamson, Dan Garrett): Four cards are shown, one is thrown away, but four cards remain in this comedy routine. Uses Elmsley count, Ascanio Spread.
10 Hand Sandwich (Dan Garrett): A card is rubbed through the back of a spectator’s hand and ends up between their palms (Rub-A-Dub-Dub Vanish, Daryl’s Convincing Tilt). Also describes a Bent Card Ending for Ambitious Card routine
Multiple outs is one of the oldest, classic, and powerful tools in mentalism. Several classic effects and routines in the history of mentalism and magic are built around multiple outs. Some of the standard tools like a pocket index were born out of this very concept of multiple outs.
In this manuscript, we will explore the ‘DOUBT’ method for constructing multiple outs. This is a technique or strategy which makes multiple outs much easier and more effective for many situations. This technique uses double blank business cards and uses the core nature of these double blank cards very potently. The number of outs to be carried also gets reduced by half, at least.
In this single page PDF, I go over one hidden structure I use in my creative process while designing illusion. The same process I use daily to design my personal illusions.
There is no magic formula to creating illusions but this might help you.
This can be an effective system to use as a loose framework. This will require long term practice and macro thinking to use.
