Help Me Win a Contest Before January 20, 2012 What a headline . . . but it’s true. I entered my effect Quarter Bird into the MagicSeen magazine Master Class Contest. If you liked that effect then vote for me. Of course, to keep things fair, here are my competitors, so if you like their effects better, then vote for them: From Magicseen Magazine Issue 42: All the entries for the Masterclass Award 2011 have now been published and we need you, dear Readers, to help us to decide which of the contributions is worthy of receiving the framed Masterclass [...]

New E-Book On The Way!

New E-Book From Jeff Stone Thank you (both of you) for all of the inquiries about when my next project will be out. I still can’t answer that question, but I can tell you that it will be another e-book. Those seem to strike a nerve with a majority of my loyal subscribers. Additionally, I can tell you this. It’s already in the works and I’m hoping to release it with a month or 2 (but you never know). Additionally, I’ve received permission to publish my modification of a Larry Becker effect (Ace Revisited) as well as my handling on [...]

Mental Monopoly

Introduction By Jeff Stone Recently the Sale Lake City Magi were treated to a lecture by Danny Archer. I’ve been a fan of his for quite some time. I really admire the way he thinks and so I was very excited to meet him. His lecture was fun and entertaining, and his coin work (particularly his 3 fly) was beautiful. Not only was the lecture fun but Danny was such a nice guy . . . so nice that he graciously donated an effect – a really good one – to this month’s issue of the mag. If you haven’t [...]

Publicity Stunts

As Oscar Wilde once stated, “The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.” They say that the best form of advertising is word of mouth. That’s more true than most people realize. Think about all of the other forms of advertising: radio, T.V., billboard, etc . . . what’s the purpose of those commercials and ads, etc? Isn’t it simply to get people to think about their product . . . top-of-mind awareness. It’s even more than that. If you see a commercial for a lawn care service – and the commercial is funny or [...]

Frixion is on Fire

Stone Frixion Fire is Unstopable The Tarot Book broke some serious records in just one week. But it still hasn’t been able to surpass the ubiquitous Stone Frixion Fire. It’s still the all time number one best seller. Check out what Dr. Lawrence Hass the Associate Dean of the McBride Magic & Mystery School had to say about it: Jeff Stone’s Stone Frixion Fire is currently the definitive source for learning how to create magic with the new Frixion pen. It offers a careful analysis of previous tricks with the pen, essential tips for using it deceptively, and over twelve [...]

The Cat’s Eye

Introduction by Jeff Stone This Month we have a guest contributor for the free effect of the month, Don Theo III. Don generously contributed The Cat’s Eye from his e-book Teardrop. This is a fun presentation for an effect that the mentalists among us will be familiar with. Enjoy the words of Don Theo III: There is an amazing book written by Rupert Sheldrake entitled, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home: and Other Unexplained Powers of Animals. The book is filled with tales of psychic animals. This routine will teach you how to read the mind of [...]

Placebo Magic

The definition of an expert has been said to be “Anyone from out of town with a PowerPoint presentation.” There’s a ton of truth in that quasi-joke. We see it all the time . . . a cop flashes his badge or wears his uniform, and we blindly trust him. What about the guy flying the plane? Just because he wears that pilot uniform doesn’t mean he knows how to fly. I know that every time I don a pilot uniform (we won’t go into the reasons why), I’m positive that it doesn’t give me the ability to fly airplanes. [...]

Season’s Greetings

’tis the season folks. It all started with my Birthday . . . October 26th ever year rushes in the holiday season for me. A few days later it’s Halloween . . . a few weeks later . . . Thanksgiving! On the heels of that . . . Christmas, and soon thereafter . . . New Year’s. Of course, there are other holidays in the mix. Whether you celebrate Christmas or other holidays this year, always remember to respect the season and those who celebrate it. If someone says, “Merry Christmas” to you . . . simply respond with [...]

Evil Has Infiltrated Stone Cold Magic Yep. You heard it hear first folks. Jeff Stone’s latest product, Stone Frixion Fire, is a product of the Devil.

Scarnecky Opener

Introduction By Jeff Stone I’ve known Brad for about 15 years now . . . maybe longer. In all that time, I’ve learned one thing . . . Brad looks great in a French Beret. Ok . . . I guess I’ve learned a few things. One such thing being this: Brad is one of the cleverest guys I know. He’s always thinking. I’ve seen some of his magic journal entries. They’re nothing short of brilliant. We’ve worked together for a long time, and I just love jammin’ and “sessioning” with him. So whenever he offers to donate a trick [...]

Act Accordingly

Introduction by Jeff Stone I became aware of Oliver Meech early 2009 when he sent me a copy of his book The Plot Thickens to review. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the book as well as the material. What follows is a segment from his latest book, Plot Twists. I felt that the content was perfect for the Roots and Branches section of the magazine. After all, isn’t that what this column is ultimately about . . . taking a concept or principle and learning to apply it? Because we’re hearing it in Oliver’s own words, taken [...]

You read that right . . . 15 instant downloads for only $10 bucks . . . no, not $10 bucks each. That’s $10 bucks total!

Unpicked

Effect: After working a walk around gig for a spell, you walk up to someone while holding a pack of cards (out of the card case). “Hello sir, how are you doing today? Can I show you something amazing?” He delightfully agrees. “All we need to do is spread through this pack” (spread it face down) “and a card turns over”, (ace of diamonds). The ace is seen to be placed back in the pack face down. “If I place that card back into the pack, all it takes is a moment and the Ace of Diamonds turns face up [...]
