Book to the Future! (RELEASE DATE 25TH MAY 2024)

“This is a super direct and super clean book test. Best of all you can reveal multiple selected words that build to a strong climax. Steve also explores alternative ideas and presentations which make this suitable for any environment. This is a great book test!’ - Marc Paul

‘A brilliant psychological principle and a wonderful effect’ - Professor Richard Wiseman

“Great trick! Baffling too. Looks so fair. Can be played as prediction, influence, mind control, love it! It’s repeatable too. No idea how it works!” - Alex McAleer

"The easiest system of its kind...I think they'll really take off!" - Piff, The Magic Dragon

‘Book to the Future’ is a Las Vegas themed book prediction effect. You can predict, with 100% certainty, what words your spectators will choose in a book which is examined by them beforehand. Nothing is swapped, they choose the page every time by freely inserting a fully examined postcard (or any plain card) into ANY page. You can even have a practice run beforehand to further show how fair it is!

You can predict 1,2,3,4 or more words for each spectator and instantly repeat to someone else in the same group with different words. It’s A6 and pocket sized so is perfect for walk-around, parlour or stage. You can write the words on anything from a business card to a flip chart or in fact on anything! No memory work, peeks or good eyesight is needed! It’s a workers dream! Option to reveal one or more of the words with a flame 🔥 or even rub ashes on your arm to reveal the word!

You can theme it as a prediction, influence, mind control or even time travel if you wish!

It also includes a bonus postcard prediction routine with 4 images on the postcard matching the outcome of 4 casino games. Just needs a regular deck of cards and a post it pad! The back of the postcard is left blank so you can customise it with a message to further expand on the predictions. This postcard routine is what I used to close all 24 of my Magic Castle parlour shows in Hollywood!

Imagine you had perfect knowledge of where every card in a shuffled deck was. What could be possible? Steve Gore has perfected a marked deck that can make impossible effects a reality. Locate a freely chosen card in a deck your audience shuffled. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s exactly what you can do, and so much more, with Flight Deck by Steve Gore.

Flight Deck is an edge marking system built into a bordered deck that builds on the legendary GPS Deck. Every card is marked for suit and value, and a quick glance at the side of the deck tells you exactly where the cards are located. This subtle marking system flies right under the radar, but is bold enough that you can immediately identify exactly where cards are in the deck. The cards themselves are a dream to work with. Printed on UltraLux™ Stock with AquaFlow™ Coating, these cards are traditionally cut for terrific handling.

The cards have a custom tuck box, sticker seal, Ace of Spades, and Jokers. The court and number cards are standard for familiarity and recognizability.

In addition to the deck you get a full tutorial with Steve Gore. He teaches multiple routines, including the stellar variation of the invisible deck but with this regular deck, an amazing card at number, an impossible sandwich routine, and all of the details about the deck to take you from marked card novice to edge work pro. With this deck as your new every day carry, miracles will be possible. The sky is the limit when you perform with Flight Deck by Steve Gore.

TAKAAN !

TAKAAN - The Any Kard At Any Number!

Feel like a REAL magician! At last, the real ANY card at ANY Number, with your regular deck... But EASY... with NO Memory work or Mental Arithmetic!

You may be thinking, Does the magic world really need another ACAAN? Yes it does! For magicians like me, with a bad memory, not very good at mental maths, I should not be able to perform it. Well I have created TAKAAN, a very easy version, able to be performed by magicians of all skill levels. With NO card memory work, NO mental arithmetic, NO difficult sleights, NO apps or technology - just your REGULAR deck of cards. Yes you read ALL that correctly!

QUOTES

Whenever Steve releases new effects, I always get excited. Here he’s taken all of the hard work out of performing an ACAAN so you can focus purely on your presentation. It’s simple… yet very clever! - Richard Jones, winner of BGT

This is a very smart, deceptive useable answer for ACAAN. I love it!!! - Matt Daniel-Baker aka The Mind Reader

Putting the gymnastics of the ACAAN away and delivering a method everyone can do themselves - Maddox Dixon (BGT star)

TAKAAN is so clever and well thought out, it smacked me right it the face! - Mario The Maker Magician

I have known Steve very well for many years and I assure you that he has put all his love and effort on this effect, to bring you the most simple of solutions on the ACAAN effect.

The Casino Con

This routine is a Steal!

Improved quality and now released again due to popular demand!

• EAST TO DO
• INSTANT RESET
  
• DEVIOUS METHOD
  
• POCKET SIZED FOR AN 'EVERY DAY CARRY!'
  
• KILLER REACTIONS
  
• PERFECT FOR GETTING KICKED OUT OF A CASINO

The Con: The Casino Con, a dynamic three-phased routine from the ingenious minds of Steve Gore & Gregory Wilson that promises to be a show-stopping addition to your repertoire! Brace yourself for an engaging and captivating performance that unfolds in three mesmerizing phases and the best bit is, it's totally examinable at the end! In Phase One, you kick off the spectacle by presenting a sample packet of cards—all jokers—each hailing from a different casino. As your spectator discreetly pockets a poker chip without looking at it, you boldly proclaim that the chip corresponds to one of the jokers. Should you fail to influence them to pick the matching casino, they stand to win a rare collector's item—a chip from a now-defunct casino! Astonishingly, their freely chosen joker perfectly aligns with the casino on the chip! This is strong enough for the effect to end here but there is more to come!

Moving on to Phase Two, the jokers are shuffled once more. This time, your spectator takes charge, cutting the packet and dealing two poker hands—one for you and one for them. Behold the 'not so surprising' revelation as they turn over their cards to reveal five jokers! With a mere wave of your hand, your joker-filled hand magically transforms into a royal flush in spades—the epitome of a winning hand.

As the grand finale in Phase Three, a final kicker awaits. A wave of your hand over the $25 chip results in an instant transformation—it metamorphoses into a chip now worth at a whopping $25,000! The Casino Con is the epitome of a carry-everywhere effect. It resets instantly, it's self working and it's engaging. This all-inclusive set features specially designed Casino cards, two high-quality custom poker chips, and a sleek wallet for convenient storage. Prepare yourself to fall in love with the sheer joy of performing The Casino Con!

Together Forever

Together Forever is the effect I have performed personally for nearly 7 years and in 2019, I performed it for David Blaine, Sir Patrick Stewart, David Copperfield and for countless top magicians at Magic Live. It is what I closed my close up set with at the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

The perfect blend of a simple plot and a love theme which leaves the spectator with an impossible souvenir they will keep forever! The plot!

The deck is shown to be regular. Two cards are chosen and signed independently. They clearly see their cards placed next to each other, they hold them in their hands and in an instant they join as one. At first they think they are stuck together ... and then they realise ... they are now ... one ... card. The cards, just like the couple, will be ‘Together Forever!’ Perfect to perform for couples in love, two family members, best friends or even just to one person and write their partners name or a celebrity crush on the other card. I have been performing this effect personally for over two years and it gets stunning reactions. Everyone just cannot believe the object they hold in their hands.

Includes: You receive 28 gimmicks in a pack. 4 different pairs of cards (x 7) professionally printed and cut out ready to use by Cartamundi to use with their red Copag 310 deck. You can purchase these from me also if required or from your local magic dealer.

The GPS Deck (aka Regatta)

The GPS deck aka the Regatta Deck, is a groundbreaking deck which utilises a worlds first cunning unique marking system which means you can get the spectator to shuffle the deck, name any card, and then locate their card in a few seconds without spreading the deck. You can then cut, cull or force this card on them or even load it into the card box, pocket or wallet. You can do an ambitious card routine and get the spectator to put the card in themselves, shuffle it, and it still ends up on top! You could also cut to any four of a kind for example! Another killer one is that they shuffle the deck and name any card,
you dead cut to it. Then you name a card and the spectator dead cuts to it!

The amount of effects you can perform is staggering and limited by your imagination. Included are printed instructions and online videos including a “Conversation with Pete Turner” who goes through just some of the awesome effects, adding his advice and ideas.

The Deck is custom printed by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC Bicycle quality) and includes a double backed card, a custom ace of spades and two custom designed jokers.

• Use the force: They shuffle, name a card and pick a card. The card they pick is the one they name!
  
• Panini - a posh sandwich: a posh sandwich effect. They shuffle, name a card, cut 2 jokers face up anywhere they like, and they spread to find their card sandwiched between the jokers! Truly stunning and baffling!
  
• 4 of a kind: They shuffle, name a value, i.e. the sevens, and you can cut to all 4 sevens!
  
• Card to box: They shuffle, name any card and it appears in the card box. Dead cut - They shuffle, name a card and you cut straight to it, then you name a card and they cut to it!
  
• Ambitiously: A new option to your ambitious card routine!

The Amnesia Deck (aka Suits)

The Amnesia deck aka the Suits Deck, is a wonderful deck which means you can perform most, if not all, memorised deck routines without having to learn any stacks! I personally do not know, or have ever learnt a stack and can fry people with this deck. You too can learn the system very easily in a few minutes and know by the back of any card, the location of every card in the Aronson stack. The amount of effects you can perform is staggering and limited by your imagination. The deck is also cunningly marked so you can appear to have a vast 'Rainman' memory and the power of subitizing or guesstimating. You can do an easy, but mind blowing 'Any card at any number' (ACAAN) without having to do mental arithmetic! You won't believe the reactions you will get with this deck, all accomplished very easily without any difficult memory work!

This deck is also useful if you already know or partially know the Aronson stack, but have a fear of forgetting it under pressure.

Included are printed instructions and online videos including a “Conversation with Pete Turner” who goes through just some of the awesome effects, adding his advice and ideas.

The Deck is custom printed by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC Bicycle quality) and includes a custom ace of spades and two custom designed jokers, with the Aronson stack on one and Juan Tamariz's ‘Mnemonica’ on the other. This means you could just have the joker or card case out and use any regular or marked deck but still use 'The Amnesia System'

A huge thank you to Simon Aronson and Juan Tamariz for allowing me to use their incredible stacks. You will need to have standard colour vision to use this deck.

These effects are explained in full and are just some of the ones which are possible.

• Any card at any number - ACAAN: They name any card and any number and there card is at their number Memorisation - You can tell them the location of any card or the card at any location!
  
• Weighing on my mind: You know instantly how many cards they cut onto your hand!
  
• Memorisation
  
• Handsfree: They cut the deck numbers times and without looking at or touching the deck you can tell the location of any card!
  
• Elimination: They cut the deck and remember the card they cut to, then shuffle their cards, you briefly look at the remaining cards for a few seconds and can then recall all the cards in their hand, leaving their card last!

PhoneBox !

Open a card case show a full deck of cards then the impossible happens...You produce a real cell phone that is bigger than the card box.

Steve Gore has come up with a very cool method for performing an extremely surprising effect. Producing a phone out of nowhere in an impossible object has never been so easy. With this make at home method you will have a gimmick ready without much prep that you can use to open any routine that uses a phone.

Phonebox is easy to do, uses a very deceptive method and is extremely visual. Who's calling? Your next favorite trick.

On the Case

Effect

You ask a volunteer to select a card. They do so, and it is lost in the deck. You say that you are going to try to read their mind with your new “Mind Reading Glasses”. You show them a rather smart looking glasses case. On the back of the case is an eyesight testing chart, after giving them a quick visual test you open the case and put on the glasses. You try and read their mind, but to no avail.

Wait a minute, did the optician say that they were “Mind Reading Glasses” or “My Reading Glasses”, you can’t be sure. You put the glasses back in the case, but the letters on the eye chart have changed and now reads “Your card is the” You turn the case over to reveal the chosen card.

A SELF WORKING MIRACLE. YOU WILL BE AMAZED HOW GOOD AN EFFECT THIS IS!!!

• 9 is the magic number, a self working 9 square magic game that can be customised to suit your needs. (M)
• Glacier Aces, an easy card effect where the 4 aces jump to the front of the deck in a wine glass. This ends by producing 2 bottles of wine from nowhere.
• iPhone from Card Case, a deck of cards in its case disappears and an iPhone appears inside the case. (M)
• Perfect Partners, a card routine with a love theme where 2 names are selected out of the 52 and they are matching cards. (i.e. 2 red queens, 2 black fours etc). (M)

An unseen face down blue card is placed (by spectator 2) also in the red face updeck. The deck is wrapped in an elastic band to avoid tampering. A post-it pad is shown to have the name of a different card on every page. A business card is inserted into the pad by spectator 1 anywhere and the random card is revealed (say the 8 of Hearts) this is repeated with spectator 2 and the random card is revealed (say the 10 of clubs). The rubber band is taken off the deck and the 2 face down cards (1 red and 1 blue) are shown and match each spectators special cards (8 of hearts and 10 of clubs).
