The Heinstein Shuffle
Description
A riffle shuffle with a bridge is recognized the world over as a most convincing way to shuffle cards. Karl Hein's Heinstein Shuffle mimics this perfectly - complete with riffle, weave, and bridge. Best of all, the Heinstein Shuffle is for workers. It can be done in-the-hands, up-close, and from every angle. People will swear the cards have been fairly mixed (you don't need a table to perform it!) It's perfect for memorized deck work, maintaining a stack, story routines, or whatever.

Edge
Description
Magician displays one card with its top corner torn and barely hanging on. Magician puts his empty hand around the other side of a glass door or window, keeping it there with its fingers spread wide open and palm visible. The other hand taps the card against the opposite side of the glass, and the card's top corner is visually seen to fall off the card into the hand on the other side - passing right through the glass. Impossible.
Psnype - Psychic Sniper

After spectator peeks at card, magician tells him the card he peeked at without asking any questions or touching the deck. It's as if he saw it while his back was turned.

Maynia
Description
Andrew Mayne presents five eye-popping, mind-blowing effects that will have your audiences on the edge of their seats and ducking for cover. All are easy to learn and perform. Andrew shares some of his personal secrets for the first time.
POP FIST - Create an explosive opening using your bare hands. A simple effect thats ready to go whenever you need to make a big impression and create your own close-up pyrotechnic display.
DRAWN FROM THE LIGHT - Draw a light bulb and make it come to life. A light bulb is drawn on a sketch pad. With a wave it comes to life and lights up. You then pull the lit bulb from the pad into reality.
DEATH FINGER - Stab a marked card in mid-air with your finger. A spectator selects a card and marks it. The card is then lost in the deck. You spring the cards into the air and stab their card with your bare finger.
FINGER SAW - Perform an impromptu finger amputation with playing cards. Got a couple Jokers left in the pack Use them to perform a gruesome close-up illusion that recreates the classic sawing a lady in half.
STABD - Deadly impromptu mentalism using a sharpened pencil. Andrews impromptu version of the infamous mentalism effect thats scarred many performers. A sharpened pencil is mixed up in one of three envelopes. A spectator is given a total free choice to decide which ones are empty no magicians choice!. You stab the first selection into your chest and are unharmed. You slam the spectators hand into the second and theyre unscathed. You then rip open the last envelope to reveal the deadly pencil. While there are more expensive versions of this effect on the market, many who have seen Andrews version feel its the best because it doesnt use any odd props, has an extra gritty feel due to the use of a sharpened pencil, can be performed on a moments notice and is possibly the safest variation out there using a real sharp object.

Box Monster
Description
The spectator selects two cards out of the deck - there are no forces. With no funny moves, the cards are placed back in the center of the deck. The deck is then placed back into the box. The box is closed. Nothin' fancy. Yet. With no false motions, the card box visibly opens itself and one card is seen to slowly, visibly rise up out of the deck. Your hand grips the card gently, then pulls it out of the deck. The card is slowly turned over - done. You've nailed card number one. The cards are then held in your hands. The spectators eyes are fixed on your hands like a hawk. You bring the cards down to the table and begin to spread the cards slowly from right to left. One card begins to slowly move out of the spread, towards the spectator - while on the table. You've never seen anything like this. And your spectators haven't either - it's downright eerie...

Indecent
Description
A card penetrates a ziploc bag, right before your eyes. In life and in magic, there exists a line where the possible meets the impossible. There's a roadblock. A barrier. A limit. INDECENT crosses that line and never looks back. Here's what your spectator sees: a card is selected from any deck. It's a free choice - no force. Signed. The card is then lost in the deck, then shuffled. The cards are then dribbled on top of a sealed Ziploc bag. Slowly, the bag is lifted up from underneath the chaos of cards to show that one card is sealed INSIDE the bag - the spectator's signed card...
Stigmata
Description
The spectator thinks of anything. A name. A number. A memory. With the thought in mind, the spectator squeezes your wrist. Tightly. When the spectator releases, red marks appear on your arm where they were squeezing. These marks of blood under the skin then slowly, visually, clearly re-arrange themselves into the shape of the spectator's selection. Seeing is believing.

KAOS
Description
A card visually disolves through a glass window. A card is selected, signed, then mixed back into the deck. Standing on one side of the window with the spectator, you ask them to push the cards up against the glass and mix them around in a jumble, holding them against the glass. With the spectator holding the cards on the glass, you walk around to the other side. You pause. You know that the effort you put into showmanship here is going to pay off in a few moments. Confidence is like blood running through your veins. You tap on the cold, hard glass to emphasize the impossible nature of what is going to take place. You lower your hands and seemingly begin to extract one card - slowly - from the scatter that the spectator is pressing against on the other side. To the spectators, it actually looks as if the card is sticking half way out of the glass... it takes genuine effort to pull it through. There is a reason we call it Surgical Card Through Window. It looks like slow surgery on a plain slab of glass. The card is SLOWLY turned over - it is in fact their signed, selected card on the other side of the window...
