Miracle Signed Card In Envelope (Gimmick and DVD) by Roger Curzon - DVDMagicTricks.co.uk have just started releasing some powerful magic from one of the UK’s unsung magical heroes – Roger Curzon. This is his approach to the Signed Card in Envelope plot. There’s a sleight of hand and a sleight-free version and all the necessary gimmicks are included. There are also some extra routines on the DVD. A great hit at Blackpool this year, you get some great magic here for £20. (If you want to explore more of Roger’s magic, you will enjoy his first DVD Blood on the Tricks for only £19.99.)

CrossRoads Double Faced set in USPCC stock (with instructions) by Ben Harris - Trick

We enjoyed Ben Harris’ clever Crossroads effect – and not just because we’re slightly obsessed with the thought of card in impossible location effect, and USPCC have recently produced this great Crossroads Double Faced Set of cards to make this effect even more slick. The set comes with detailed extra instructions with further ideas (though you will need the original Crossroads effect to fully understand this). £11.50 (or you can get the ‘Peek‘ edition for £7.99)

The Vanishing (Gimmick and DVD)by Jon Allen - Trick

Here’s one of the most interesting twists on a card trick that we’ve seen in a while. To an intriguing story about Houdini, pictures of handcuffs open and Houdini disappears in The Vanishing. Another great original idea from Jon Allen. Only £15.50

Silent Running - by Ben Harris - INSTANT DOWNLOADThis one only came out yesterday so I have not had a chance to look at it yet. But it is a close cousin of Ben’s Crossroads effect – which I am a big fan of. So I have no hesitation in recommending this. Ben always produces well thought through magic and this sounds great. £26.99

Ascension props and DVDI have always liked the classic ‘rising card’ effect. Nick Langham has taken the effect and combined it with another classic principle to produce a knockout effect which is easy to do. All beautifully produced on Bicycle stock. £19.99

Wonder Clock

Regular readers will no of my soft-spot for mentalism. This is, obviously, a non-card item, but is a nice piece of mental magic with an attractive hand-crafted prop. Currently over 30% off at £14.99
