Street Magic - Healed and Sealed

This trick is a classic. It was one of my first purchases. I still amaze people at parties with it. Some even think I have supernatural powers.

The Effect: An opened, emptied and crushed soda can slowly and visually heals itself, returning to it's original state-the hole in the top even magically reseals itself closed! To top off this mind-blowing routine you can even open the can with a pfzzzt! and pour the contents out into a glass!

Healed and Sealed Soda Trick by Anders Moden is definetly worth having. If performed corectly, this trick kills.

David Blaine - Strange Travelers

I haven't read anything about David Blaine for a while so I did a quick search last night. What I found? A few things, nothing new, but I came across the card trick that helped him close the deal on his first network tv special : Street Magic.
It must have been good, right?

Effect: You show someone a batch of twenty cards... all different. You give her ten of the cards to hold.

You now have her just think of one of the remaining ten cards. She never says a word. No one except her knows what card she's thinking of.

These ten cards are counted again. Strangely... there are now only nine. The one card she'd been thinking of has vanished! She's still only thinking of her card it's never been named out loud!

She counts the other ten cards she's been holding ten cards you haven't touched since the beginning. But now she has eleven cards! The strange traveler has arrived... her thought-of card is now staring her in the face!

Strange Travelers by David Blaine - Trick seems very appealing to me. What do you think? If anyone owns this, I would appreciate some input

Jeff McBride - Zoom, Bounce, And Fly

Here's a DVD that I talked about earlier when I first wrote about Zoom, Bounce and Fly.


Some people were asking if it is worth getting it. Well, it teaches you very good techniques on card spinning, card juggling, card throwing and card flourishes. So if you are interested in that kind of stuff, you want to add some incredible moves to your act or just want to learn great flourishes from one of the world's greatest teachers of magic, then it is worth getting Zoom, Bounce, And Fly.

Coin Magic - The coin flip

Right hand has a half dollar classic palmed, while the fingers flip another coin into the air a time or two. This is merely a disarming move which tends to show, without saying so, that the right hand holds only one coin. The spectators reason that there is only one because it seems impossible that a second coin could be hidden in the hand flipping a coin in the air so naturally.

Image A shows the concealed coin in the palm and the visible coin ready to be flipped into the air. Coin is caught on the extended fingers as shown in the second image B. Back of hand is obviously towards spectators. That way they won't see a thing.
So practice, practice, practice because it's an useful technique

Magicians - Jeff McBride

Who is he? Criss Angel's fans might remember him from the Mindfreak series, but worldwide magicians know Jeff McBride as one one the world's renowned magicians. He combines magic with mime, dance, Kabuki theater and martial arts to produce a very enterntaining magic show.

He also set the Guiness World Record in 3 categories.
Most coin rolls in a minute – 31 using a single silver dollar. (record is based on the most in a minute, but the coin is not allowed to drop or miss a finger during the set time).

Most consecutive multi-coin rolls – Jeff simultaneously rolled eight silver dollars (four per hand), each completing 18 consecutive coin rolls in a time of 5 min 43 sec. (record is based on the most complete cycles before dropping- one coin in each hand was marked by a pen so that we could count the cycles).

Greatest one handed card scale in a minute – a total of 106 cards cleared a set distance of 12 ft within 60 seconds.


If you would like to learn some flourishes or card throwing techniques I would recommend seeing the Zoom, Bounce, And Fly by Jeff McBride - DVD
All his techniques require some serious practice, but the results are astonishing.

Iron body

Here's a nice little "trick". You lay down on 3 chairs. One at your feet, one at your head and one at the center. Your partner removes the center chair and then climbs on you. Can you stand his/her body weight and not fall down?
Please watch and see how (compliments of Sam Noyoun).
