Magic tricks by Phil Goldstein
Over the years Phil Goldstein has offered a variety of nifty effects to the magical fraternity, some as contributions to magic publications, others as marketed tricks available through dealers. I was lucky enough to receive one of Mr.Goldstein's latest at my doorstep. What follows is a few insights for your enjoyment.
Psi-Con Ruse Trick by Phil Goldstein
---------------oOo-----------------
Effect: A spectator is asked to freely shuffle a deck of cards. The mentalist displays a book on divination, explaining that he has been studying Cartomancy-the ancient system of telling fortunes with playing cards.
An envelope is then given to the participant to hold and the performer says, "Even though we've never met before, inside this envelope is a Cartomantic reading that I've prepared just for you. Let's see if the system works!"
The top five cards of the shuffled pack are taken and displayed by being inserted into the edge of the book. The spectator is told to choose any of the five cards. The selected card is, for example, the four of clubs. The four unchosen cards are shown to be all different. When the fortune message is removed from the envelope, it reads:
"You have a compassionate nature and strong leadership potential. Your sense of humor is admired by others. Your lucky card is the four of clubs!"
This little prediction effect is by no means something new. Indeed, the routine was devised about a quarter of a century ago.
It is based on Dr.Jaks' Supersonic , one of several attempts to eliminate the need for a display stand. Dr.Jaks' routine was originally marketed in the late 1940s, and was in turn an outgrowth of Henry Hardin's Monte Christo Deck , which made its debute in 1905.
The effect is pretty much as described, and is not that difficult to learn. You receive a nice 8 page booklet of instructions, illustrated by Tony Dunn and of course written by Phil Goldstein . The cover art was designed by Ben Harris of Australia, and looks great. You also receive a very cool set of gimmicked blue backed Bicycle playing cards which make this effect possible.
You will have to add your own bits of business to make this piece your own, but you should be doing that with any magic you purchase anyway, right?
I think this trick is pretty cool, and would be a welcome addition to anyone looking for a piece of Mentalism to add to their act. Worth a look!

Reviews for "Comparing Wsnddrinf wutch manga volume 4 to previous volumes: What's new?"
1. Jessica Johnson - 1 star
I was really disappointed with "Wsnddrinf wutch manga volume 4". The storyline was all over the place and it felt like the author was just throwing in random events without any clear direction. On top of that, the artwork was subpar compared to earlier volumes. I had been a fan of the series up until this point, but volume 4 really missed the mark for me.
2. Michael Thompson - 2 stars
I found volume 4 of "Wsnddrinf wutch manga" to be quite underwhelming. The character development was lacking and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. I also had a hard time following the plot, as it seemed to veer off into unnecessary tangents. The cliffhanger ending only left me frustrated, rather than excited for the next volume. Unfortunately, this installment was a letdown for me.
3. Emily Davis - 1.5 stars
I have to say, I was not impressed with volume 4 of "Wsnddrinf wutch manga". The pacing felt incredibly slow, with not much happening in terms of plot advancement. The characters seemed to act out of character, and the dialogue was repetitive and predictable. The art style also changed for the worse, with a noticeable decline in detail and consistency. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and won't be continuing with the series.
