A collection of Kostya's creations with a deck of cards, these routines use simple methods combined with clever thinking. The routines \"Two Step\" and \"2 Ahead with the Deck\" have gotten the strongest responses at lectures and they are two of the easiest card tricks that you'll learn!
For those that like a little bit of a challenge, \"Stardust Transposition and Cosmic Fusion\" is a beautiful in-the-hands version of Anniversary Waltz. Also included is Kostya's closing presentation that raises the level of astonishment for the audience. And \"Hofzinser's Aristocrats\" - created with Syd Segal - is a whack to the head, when the card in the spectators hands transposes with a card on the table.
Hofzinser would place a card face down on his table and then ask a spectator to merely think of a card. Under \"test conditions\" the card merely thought of by the spectator is shown to be the same card that Hofzinser had placed faced down on the table before the spectator had even been asked to think of a card.
This box contains a mechanism consisting of 32 steel levers, each of which lifts a specific card from a special deck. The levers are activated via the small metal buttons which ring the bottom of the box. The thirty two buttons that are movable each correspond to a single card which is fastened to the lever with a metal clip. The enclosed key is used to wind the spring mechanism which forces the desired card to rise through the slot seen on top of the box lid.
To perform this trick the magician would shuffle a deck of cards which looks identical to the ones held by clips inside the box. He would then place the cards in the compartment which is accessed through the hinged door found on the top of the lid. The cards would appear to the audience to have been placed in the box but would actually rest in a small well in the lid. The audience would choose a card which the magician could make rise by manipulating the buttons on the outside of the box.
This famous apparatus, inscribed with Hofzinser's initials, J. H. was apparently used in an effect in which a chosen card was torn and restored not once, but three times in succession. Alas, Hofzinser's presentation and handling did not survive his death.
This legendary piece of apparatus was apparently constructed for Hofzinser by his Viennese mechanic, Kurz, in the early 1840's. (he mentions it in a letter to Carl von Pospischil in 1847). A shuffled deck of cards would be placed into the box and then any card called for by the audience would slowly and mysteriously rise through an opening in the top of the box.
He is rightfully referred to as the father of the parlor-and card-magic. The card-experiment \"To think and forget\", \"Vision of an Insane\", watch-tricks, the \"Rose-Mirror\", the \"Appearing Lady\" and his unforgettable card-magic were all parts of his repertoire. During his life time Hofzinser sold many of his tricks to his colleagues who practiced magic. He invented many tricks and new routines for his friend Compars Hermann and revealed the secret of the piece. He sold \"The forced thought\" for 200 florin to a rich English man, named Mr. Clite, who wanted a thorough understanding of how it operated. Newspapers report that Hofzinser was quite generous with his talents and gave many magic lessons in his Salon. The last performance of Hofzinser is noted in Viennese newspapers close to New Years Eve of 1874/1875 when he performed for the Vienna Club of Trade People. After a short illness, Hofzinser passes away. His obituary in a Viennese newspaper reports that the funeral was held in the parish church of St. Johann in the \"Praterstrasse.
Volume I: His Life, His Card MagicJ. N. Hofzinseris one of the most significant magicians to have thrived in the nineteenth century, and has been a role model for great magicians ever since. He is the inventor of some of the best and most enduring card tricks ever created. Yet information on his life and magic has been scant and filled with errors.Hofzinserwas a resident and well-known figure in nineteenth-century Vienna. More than twenty years ago, another highly respected and honored Viennese professional magician,Magic Christian, took on the task of enlarging and correcting the record we have of his predecessor. After doing extensive research over decades, and studying thousands of original sources,Magic Christianhas managed to totally revise what we know aboutJ. N. Hofzinser. The result is an exhaustive study of this master and his extraordinarily creative magic.Given the abundant resourcesMagic Christianhas uncovered, he is able to present a picture of Hofzinser that puts flesh on the shadow of the only previous portrait we have, which was created by Ottokar Fischer over one hundred years ago. In Christian's first volume, through numerous recently discovered documents, we get to knowHofzinseras a determined individualist, a published poet and composer, a respected music critic, an insightful analyst of his contemporaries in magic, and an inspired magician.Through systematic research in public and private archives,Christianfound new material on Hofzinser and his life's journey. He has also examined and evaluated existing material and has reproduced it for the first time in its authentic form. All this creates an essential work, one that imparts an authentic picture of Viennese conjuring in the nineteenth century, told through the life and magic ofJ. N. Hofzinser.
Magic Christian - J. N. Hofzinser - Non Plus Ultra Vol 2Volume II: NON PLUS ULTRAJ. N. HOFZINSERpresents all of the master's card magic, which was a specialty of this brilliant magician. This volume provides an in-depth study and explanation of Hofzinser's huge contributions to the field.Descriptions of card tricks can be found as early as the sixteenth century. During the centuries that followed, a body of sleights and techniques steadily developed and grew. ButHofzinserwas the first to bring this art from the tavern into the salon, to amaze and delight society's elite. The system of sleights he developed, his cunning use of regular decks in combination with trick cards, and above all the wealth of effects he invented, opened up possibilities that enabled the fertile growth of card magic to the present day. The reception ofHofzinser's inventions by Dai Vernonand many other outstanding card magicians of the twentieth century proves the enduring qualities of his work.Magic Christianhas spent years researching Hofzinser and discussing his magic with magicians throughout the world. By this effort, he has been able to revise, correct, reconstruct and greatly enlarge what we know of Hofzinser's life and card magic. The result is this magnificent two-volume set of books, a work that is already considered a fundamental text, and will serve as a springboard for further developments in this fascinating art of magic done with playing cards.This large-format, hardcover set of books is one of our most handsome productions - a total of 861 pages, filled with reproductions of rare photos and artwork to accompany an exhaustive coverage ofHofzinser, the man and all his card magic - all contained in an attractive and sturdy slipcase.

Air Bender: a selected card is fairly selected and lost in the pack. In a physics-bending display of skill, the performer balances a deck of cards on its thin edge, and, with nothing but a quick jet of air emitted from the mouth, slices it in two. The packets fall to the table, revealing the selection.
Fireweed: the cards are bridged after a riffle shuffle, and four kings bloom from the pack as if they were petals from a flower. In a quick turn of events, they change into four aces.
Damn! This should cost a lot more than that. I would pay that much only to learn the BT change.It is just to much information about sleight of hand. And for those who say it wasn't worth the money then I think they should go on 52 cards channel and learn the double lift first. Because project S is the next level slight of hand. Thanks Simon for sharing this with us for such a little price
Card magic tricks were once described by the great card magician Johann Hofzinser as the \"poetry of magic\". Yes, they can be horrible with your kid brother asking you to count seven cards in three piles but they can also be sublime. That's the breadth of card magic poetry. Check out the two above links if you're looking to learn a few easy ones or want to see what great card magicians can do in their hands. The following list highlights ten (and a few honorable mentions) of what we believe are the greatest and most amazing classics of the genre. Enjoy...
Let's just say first off that there are endless variations of this repeating card trick and you don't always have to show just five cards. 6 cards and 10 cards are also standard versions. This little trick packs A LOT OF MAGIC in a very short amount of time. One of the great characteristics of this magic trick (that is very rare among card magic tricks) is that it can be performed standing up so more than just an audience at a table can experience it. In this performance, Wayne Dobson performs a stellar version of this classic trick as an opener in front of the Queen of England! A great trick and a fabulous performer!!!
This classic trick has four aces seemingly vanish before your eyes and then reappear in one spot. On the surface, McDonald's Aces (or in Copperfield's case Grandpa's Aces) appears to be just like any other four-ace card trick but Copperfield brings a story to the trick that centers on learning magic from his grandpa. What really sets this trick apart is how Copperfield handles the cards with a poetic tenderness to strong music which creates a powerful sleight o
