Originally written and created for the Monday Night Magic Jam Group in Tustin, California, MAGIC UPSIDE DOWN contains seven of Eric's previously unpublished effects and routines that cover a range of genres, including cards, coins, ball bearings and even a super-cool method for creating an impromptu impression pad LITTLE DEVIL - A devastatingly powerful (yet astonishingly simple) Do As I Do effect that can be done with any borrowed deck of cards.MOVEMENT - A multiple-rising-card routine where the wrong card not only rises on its own, but shifts itself BACK IN, only to be replaced by the correct card THE HARD PART - A fascinatingly CAAN/Transpo combination effect that shows the magician's skill in an extraordinary (and seemingly plausible) way.UNUS - A stunningly visual one-coin routine inspired by the work of Francis Menotti.VELLUM COIN - A to-scale photo of a freely-chosen coin is easily bent back and forth, yet when turned around is seen to have a REAL matching coin glued directly to it, making the feat impossible IRON IN MY BLOOD - The magician's hands are shown to be empty, yet after mentioning how much iron he has in his system, a genuine ball bearing is squeezed out of his fist into the hands of the spectator.QUESTIONABLE IMPRESSIONS - A wonderful demonstration of impromptu mind-reading that utilizes the last method you would ever think of *Some of the effects described within will require one or more props to be purchased separately.*

A new set of classically-styled notes that contain the following effects: DE-CENT: A half dollar magically grows into a jumbo coin as it falls from one hand to the other. STARDUST: A unique take on the classic cigarette-through-quarter plot where a pencil penetrates through the shadow of a borrowed coin. BILL OF RIGHTS: A highly visual bill change. THUMBLESS TIP: An unorthodox yet totally fooling way of using an old prop to create astounding magic for close-up, parlour AND stage situations. FIELD-O-VISION: A fun piece that can be performed either seriously or comically. The participant holds a randomly selected card to their forehead yet the magician (or anybody else in the room that THEY choose) is able to tell them what it is. NO marked cards used. OPEN-FACED PASS: Eric's handling of the classic Herrmann pass that adds an extra level of deceptiveness. FLIKBAND: Eric has reworked the silly old jumping rubber band trick that you find in joke books into a stunningly cool moment of mystery.

The first volume in a series of books describing unique and valuable sleight-of-hand techniques.TOBOGGAN CONTROLGIZA CONTROLGIZA FORCE(34 Pages)

There's a reason this routine has been in my repertoire for so long - It's a WORKER HAPPENSTANCE is a fifty-page booklet that will teach you how to take a commonly-neglected prop in magic and turn it into a powerful and memorable tool of mental destruction. Once you learn my full professional routine, you'll know how to effectively divine the spectator's choice of card, cause them to name the EXACT position of that same card in a ribbon spread with NO manipulation and THEY THEMSELVES will prove that it was all in the cards to begin with when the selection ends up on top of a freely named packet IN THEIR HANDS The booklet even goes so far as to describe THREE DIFFERENT alternate endings including one option where you can hand out your business card to EVERYONE and ANYONE you perform this for without fear of someone saying "No thanks". "Kudos to you Eric. You have come up with a real world piece of awesome here " -Adam Wilber "This...is very well thought out. I can truly appreciate the time that you have put into this book.
