THINK 

by John Morton
£65 plus post.

Five different coloured sharpie pens.

Phase 1: A pen is selected while your back is turned, the rest are hidden away. The pen is handed to you behind your back, the participant then comes around the front of you so you can watch for reactions. You call out the five colours and instantly know which colour they chose..
 

Phase 2: Again they choose a different colour or not and again place it into your hand behind your back, this time you explain you are not going to say anything but are going to think the colours in the same order as last time. Again you are able to correctly guess their colour.
 

Phase 3: Again a Pen is selected and placed into your hand. This time THEY are going to think the colours and they can think of them in any order.

Even under these impossible conditions you guess correctly.


7 Things to note:

1. The sharpies are examinable - not marked in anyway.

2. No electronics involved.

3. You never see the sharpies.

4. Easy to do practically self working.

5. The pot doesn't need to be used if you don't want to as it's not part of the method.

6. Packs small plays big, this can be performed close up or stage.

7. Can be performed as a colour match routine.
 

"It's very clever" - Luca Volpe


"Ingenious and totally practical" - Mark Elsdon


"THINK is a perfect example of that thinking. Completely analogue, simple, and deceptive, it’s the kind of routine you’ll perform. If you’re a working performer, this is an easy recommendation" - Adam Dadswell

The Baby Book by John Morton

 

The Trick that Fooled Penn and Teller

"Every Magician, amateur or professional could get this book and after reading one sentence  could kill with it!"

- Penn Jillette.

"Really entertaining, You fooled us!"

- Penn & Teller

A kids picture book is shown and it is explained that this book is used to teach the magicians daughter what various items look like and what they are called.

 

You demonstrate that what we do is show her the big picture saying what it is and ask her to point it out from the items below.

 

The magician explains that because it is a repetitive thing, without even realising it they have learnt every single page off by heart.

 

You offer to demonstrate and pass the book out. Ask the spectator to open the book to any page they like and look at the big item.

 

They now call out in any order all the items on the page below including at some point the big item. After they have called out all 9 items you correctly tell them which the big item is.

 

Created with the kind permission of Stephen Young.

 

 

Price £60 plus postage.​

Fish or £50
by John Morton
 
Made to order £250 plus post.

Direct from John's own show. This 2 part routine starts with a which hand game with all the audience ending in a game of "Fish or £50".

The magician asks everyone to stand, each person takes a small object like a coin or ring and behind their back chooses a hand to keep it in. Then when the magician says they bring out their hands and the magician guesses which hand the item is in, all the people he guesses correctly sits down. This is repeated once more leaving a handful of people left in the game.

The magician now reveals a game called "Fish or £50", the object is for the spectator to correctly guess the coloured envelope with the £50 inside. If they don't win they win a fish! (note these are inflatable fish).

This fully scripted fun routine not only plays very well but also looks great on stage and as an added bonus can hide some of your other props behind the banner leaving your stage "clean".

Clear force - ACAN in a bag
£15 plus post
This is my take on the any card at any number plot, but using a net bag that "uses the force".

A net bag containing several pieces of different coloured card is shown. A couple of spectators are asked to reach inside the bag and take out a few pieces. This are shown to have different cards on them and a number,

This done one more person is asked to remove 3 pieces (one of each colour) they reveal a number and two options for cards. They choose one of the cards and that card is at the numbered position in a deck that has been on view the whole time.

Big Blind by John Morton

Five coloured cards are mixed up by a volunteer (face down) while the magicians back is turned; the magician then shows 5 poker chips in the same colours as the cards.

 

Under these impossible circumstances the magician still manages to place the corresponding poker chip on the correct card.

AVAILABLE SOON AT ALAKAZAM MAGIC

Transform 8 by John Morton


Not just a quick trick shot... a full, highly entertaining close up, cabaret and stage routine.


First, you impress your spectators by transforming a napkin into an 8 Ball.

Then you trick them into a false sense of security by hilariously showing them how you did it (a classic gag).
But... just as they begin to stop taking your magic seriously, you hit them with a second transformation that produces a real, solid, heavy pool ball!


This modern take on a classic is guaranteed to snooker your spectators minds like never before. All the joys of silk-to-egg without the cracking!

NOTE: Transform 8 is only available though SaturnMagic.co.uk

Something super this way comes! by John Morton & Martin Bosmans. 

The magician explains that their father used to collect cigarette cards, this type of card used to come in cigarette packets in the days when people smoked a lot more. The cards were very collectable and you have a set here, these are the ones that they loved as a kid as they are of Superheroes.

They show the cards and give them a shuffle, then faces away then dripples the cards down and let the volunteer call stop (no force of any kind).

The magician then shows them the face of the card they stopped on, and closes the pack before turning back around.

 

After three simple "reading questions" the magician can reveal the super hero in any way they like.

 

Lolli Hero, 21st Century Phantom, write down the reveal, open your shirt to reveal the superheroes shirt – whatever they like!

.

NOTE: You do not have to ask the questions in order to know the selection.

Price £15 plus postage

SORRY THIS PRODUCT IS NOW RETIRED HOWEVER THAT FIGURES AND LOGO DECK CAN DO THE SAME THING.
