Lorem Ipsum by N. Colwell

Englischsprachiges Booklet mit Tricks, Routinen und Techniken. 40 Seiten, geheftet

Theatermagie ist ein wunderbar tiefes und breites Medium. Es gibt Platz für hochtrabende Theorien, hochgesteckte künstlerische Ziele, komplizierte, riesige Altäre mit opulentem Design, asketische, selbstgeißelnde Routinen, die auf den Punkt kommen und die Grenzen der Täuschung ausreizen ... Aber manchmal möchte man einfach nur ein paar Tricks. Es ist nicht so tiefgründig, dieses Booklet enthält einfach ein paar lustige Tricks und Kniffe. Machen Sie es nicht zu kompliziert.

Lorem Ipsum enthält elf bisher unveröffentlichte Nummern: sieben Kartenkunststücke, zwei Kartentricks, eine Geldscheinroutine und eine Routine mit Führerscheinen. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad reicht von völlig selbsttätig bis hin zu Dingen, die etwas konzentriertes Üben erfordern. Es handelt sich um solides Material, das seit Jahren bei Auftritten in Restaurants, bei Zaubersessions, bei Walk-around-Auftritten und in allen möglichen Auftrittsumgebungen verfeinert wurde. Einige der Zaubereien in diesem Heft sind ein regelmäßiger und aktiver Teil von Nathans Arbeitsrepertoire.

Inhalt:

Teil Eins - Tricks

Finish Line: A Triumph where the spectator takes the deck into their own hands. THEY pick their card, THEY lose it into the deck, THEY shuffle the deck, THEY mix cards face-up and face-down, and all of this behind the magician's back. No culling needed, just one shuffle and a few cuts restores the pack and finds the spectator's card. Based on work by the late Ramón Riobóo.

Dav's Transpo: The spectator's driving license impossibly changes into the magician's license. The spectator's license is then found in the magician's wallet! A fun, practical trick that is entirely self-contained within your everyday-carry Card to Wallet. Two methods are taught: one for use while wearing a coat and one using only a back pocket. Nathan has used this for years whenever he's caught out having nothing but his wallet. (Requires a non-insert Mullica-style wallet. Nathan uses Anthony Miller's Triple Threat Wallet.)

Feathers and Bricks: A bill routine in two parts. While advocating the audience defraud a grocery store, the magician borrows a $5 bill and shows an origami fold that makes one bill look like two. As the audience stares at the magician handling the fold, it slowly looks more and more like it is genuinely two bills, until the magician finally separates their hands to show they've doubled their money. The bills are given back to the spectator, where they are discovered to still just be one bill in an origami fold. Taking the bill back, the magician says they will show a new kind of fold that makes a bill seem like it's a higher denomination. The $5 changes into a $50, but just as quickly changes back once the bill is crinkled. A real crowd pleaser.

Picnic Under the Stars: A modernization of the classic Poker Player's Picnic. This version is done from a shuffled deck in use, justifies the strange procedure, adds a new methodological layer, lets the spectator directly influence the ritual process, and is entirely sleightless. A perfect trick for a beginner. Based work by Allan Zola Kronzek.

Teil Zwei - Techniken

Oyster Production: A pretty production of a card from cupped hands. A lovely sequence with a technically pleasing method.

Tap Top Turnover: A subtle packet turnover. A perfect replacement for the Tenkai Optical Revolve when seated at a table.

Convincing Curve: An extension of Ernest Earick's "One Handed Convincing Control." This version allows for a looser, natural right-hand grip.

Three Count Experiments: Three quirky false counts: Lateral Ascanio Steal, Elmsley Switch-Ditch, and Rolling Count. Steal a card in the middle of an Ascanio Spread, switch and unload a selected card of a four-of-a-kind during an Elmsley Count, and hide two out of four cards as you twirl around every card in the packet. In short, this is the weird stuff. Nathan can't guarantee you'll find a use for any of them, but these three little eccentricities are as fun to play with as they are bizarre.

Pullman Lift: A double lift based on the Allerton Double. A loud snap and rough handling pairs with a delicate turnover for a perfectly balanced technique.
