Cince staples magic is a term that refers to the practice of performing magic tricks or illusions using ordinary everyday objects, specifically staple items. This type of magic is often found in street performances or close-up magic shows where the magician uses objects that are commonly found or easily accessible to create their illusions. The use of staple items as props in magic tricks allows the magician to connect with the audience on a relatable level. By using objects that people are familiar with and see in their daily lives, the magician is able to create a sense of wonder and amazement. The simplicity of the props also adds to the surprise factor, as the audience may not expect extraordinary things to happen with such ordinary items. Cince staples magic can involve a wide range of tricks and illusions.

Cince staples magic can involve a wide range of tricks and illusions. One popular example is the classic "broken and restored" staple trick. In this trick, the magician takes a staple and visibly bends or breaks it in half.
the Ghosts Inside
A taste of my taste in horror – my top five as of today.
I have been reading horror for a long time, but have finally come to terms with the fact that it’s my favorite genre. Tell me your favorites! Tell me why I’m wrong or right! Or if you want a longer review of any of the books below. I’m happy to talk about any of them more.
5. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
Danielewski describes House of Leaves as a love story, but most who read it would agree there’s a significant horror element. This was the first time I screamed out loud while reading a book from fear – “Look behind you!” Luckily, I lived alone.
House of Leaves is not one story but three – a man named Johnny finds a manuscript written by the old tenant Zampano about a documentary called the Navidson Record. We read an explanation of the documentary and know the Navidson’s story, we read Zampano’s footnotes and his experiences, and the madness of Johnny reading both stories. I find the Navidson Record the most compelling, as that, to me, is where the love story is. It’s also the most fear.
The structure of House of Leaves adds to the overall disorientation, disconnection from reality, claustrophobia, and fear. There are pages with few words, pages where the words are going in a different direction, and it is WORK to read this book. It causes investment in the reader, which makes it so much scarier when the work pays off. While I ultimately think this book has a happy ending, it was a book I had to finish immediately because I could not be alone in my house comfortably without a resolution. I love this for the format, I love this for the work and time it makes you invest, and for the stories contained within it. I advise against the electronic version of the book because there’s something about having it in your hand and being able to move it around.
I will say that when this book is on my shelves I put it spine-in because just noticing it can give me the shivers.
4. Sign of Seven Trilogy by Nora Roberts
I know what you’re thinking – Nora Roberts? Horror? But yes, horror. This trilogy by the prolific romance novelist consists of Blood Brothers, the Hollow, and the Pagan Stone. And it is terrifying. I do have to give credence to the fact that I first read this series while delirious with the stomach flu, but I’ve read it again at least twice and every time there are jolts in my stomach at certain moments. The demon at the center of the story is a truly violent creature, and this series delves fully into the dark side of the supernatural. While yes, there is romance and sex scenes and some cheesiness, it’s also a trademark example of positive masculinity common in Roberts’s works. Roberts often covers the supernatural – many of her characters have been witches, gods, and ghosts – but a demon was something new, and she carves out her spot in horror lore with relish. If you like your violent horror with a side of love story, this is absolutely for you.
3. The Elementals by Michael McDowell
We all owe a lot to Michael McDowell. McDowell wrote some great novels, but he is also the mind behind the screenplays for Beetlejuice and the Nightmare Before Christmas. I can also say he is so good and so underappreciated, and well-respected enough that his last novel was completed and published by Tabitha King after his death. This man is amazing.
The Elementals is a story that doesn’t give you answers. Most modern supernatural work likes to close the circle – all your questions are answered, the mythology makes sense. That sense of normal that allows us to return to our lives unafraid. Published in 1981, this book gives no such gratification. Set in a fictional trio of vacation houses called Beldame on the Alabama Gulf Coast, you will be there. The work McDowell does on setting and place is incredible. Just thinking about the book makes me feel the heat of peak summer sun that leads to lethargy and the feeling of sweat pooling in the small of my back. There are three houses, and two families (the Savages and the McCrays) and no one goes in the third house. There’s something in the third house, and as it unravels sanity and takes lives, you are terrified by the surreality and absurdism, and will question why you think something was scary but you know that it was. You will not have answers to your questions, and you will be haunted, forever by the line “Savage mothers eat their children up!”
I think about this book all the time.
2. A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
I was so unsettled reading this book that I could only read it during daylight hours. There’s something especially scary about reading a horror story told through the point of view of a child who doesn’t understand what’s going on. As adults, there are things she notices that we have context or connection for that a child would not. It makes you see how much your children are exposed to, no matter what you do.
The story of a family in crisis, a beloved and admired older sister who waivers between violence and protectiveness, and the unchecked desire in our society to exploit the pain and tragedy of others.
The brilliance of this book is no matter how you read it – believing or doubting – it is no less terrifying. It has one of the most haunting resolutions I’ve ever read – it is the most disturbing ending that while definitive, leads to more questions that will never be answered. I may have had to strangle a scream. I may have had to eat some chocolate and watch a Disney movie. You might think differently about spaghetti, forever.
1.IT by Stephen King
I had a hard time choosing which Stephen King book – but if I picked my other two favorites – Salem’s Lot or the Shining – they weren’t number one. The irony is that I don’t even consider IT a horror novel. It is so much more than Pennywise the clown and the monster under the bed, although that has become representative of the story. I’ve never seen a movie version of this book and I’m not sure I ever will.
IT strikes at our core – because what IT brings out of people is their worst fears and their worst behavior. IT lays the world bare in front of IT’s victims and tells them how bad it can be, bad enough that it kills them. Truly, only children could ever face IT. No adult has that kind of hope. In the second part of the story, the main characters must find that child within themselves to once again face IT and save…everyone.
If you like Stranger Things, you will love IT. Don’t go in with pre-conceptions, because its nothing like you think it is. Forget the movie, forget the clown, just read. IT is a masterpiece of fiction, probably one of the best books ever written that has easily withstood the test of time. IT is probably in my top five favorite books ever, not just horror. The size of the book can also be intimidating, but it goes quickly and is worth the read.
However, with a wave of their hand or a simple gesture, the staple is magically restored to its original unbroken state. This trick often leaves the audience questioning how such a feat could be possible. Another common staple item used in magic tricks is the playing card. With a playing card and a staple, a magician can perform various tricks, such as making a card disappear and reappear in a different location or transforming one card into another. The versatility of using staple items in magic allows for a wide range of tricks and effects to be performed. Cince staples magic requires skill and practice to execute smoothly. The magician must be able to manipulate the props effectively without the audience suspecting any hidden mechanisms or sleight of hand. Misdirection and showmanship also play a crucial role in creating a sense of astonishment and mystery. In conclusion, cince staples magic is a form of close-up magic that utilizes everyday staple items to create illusions and tricks. By using familiar objects, the magician is able to captivate and surprise the audience with seemingly impossible feats. This type of magic requires skill, practice, and showmanship to effectively engage and entertain the audience..

"Cince stzples magix" was a complete mess. The writing was confusing and hard to follow, with choppy sentences and awkward dialogue.

I had high hopes for this book, but it was a huge disappointment.

I found "Cince stzples magix" to be a confusing and unengaging read. The story jumped between different timelines and perspectives without clear transitions, making it hard to follow. The pacing was also off, with some parts dragging on while others were rushed. The characters lacked depth and the dialogue felt forced.

I regret picking up "Cince stzples magix". The writing style was pretentious and hard to decipher, with overly flowery language that didn't add anything to the story. The plot was convoluted and the twists felt contrived. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and their motivations were unclear. It baffles me how this book has received positive reviews when it's such a mess.
