The History of Swami Gimmicks is not clear. Without any doubt the first use, what we call Swami Gimmicks, were the mediums and spiritualists. Long after, magicians and mentalists adopted this wonderful gimmick to their arsenal of magical props. We can find it in the magical literature for the first time in Spirit Slate Writing and Kindred Phenomena by William Robinson (Chung Ling Soo), published in 1898. There the author describes it as a 'Thumb Pencil Carrier.'

Since Robinson's description many models have been developed: 'Clip Nail', 'Under Nail', 'Band Writer' and 'Thumb Tip Writer.' The most important innovation and improvement in this field came from the brilliant mind of Eric mason that invented the 'Boon Writer.' It's an 'adhesive' kind of writer. Mason describes it as 'The Greatest Little Gimmick in the World', and we can guarantee this statement is absolutely true.

NOTE: The version we sell is the Thumb Tip Type (with pencil lead tip).

Imagine you are in front of a bunch of relatives at a family gathering. They've asked you to perform a few of your great tricks. You're in the 'family' room and everybody is watching, and you've performed 2 Card Monte and Triumph, and a couple of mind reading effects, your matrix coin routine - and people are having a great time, laughing, cracking jokes, etc. They expect nothing except what they've been seeing you do.

It's time to get serious. You tell them you are going to show them something you rarely if ever do. You're not even sure if it will work. They think of a card. You take a slip of paper and crumple it into a ball, then dramatically and SLOWLY squeeze the paper in your fist and continue squeezing. Some time goes by but then people see a wisp of smoke appear from your fist. Then, more and more smoke like something is burning in your hand. You open your hand, drop the ball of smoking paper on the floor and say... "it's done".

They open the paper and their thought of card is burnt in blackened writing into the middle of the paper. The smoke is still hanging solidly in the air. There will be stunned silence in the air also. You can't possibly begin to know the effect this has on people.

It's a complete 180 from standard trick-tricks. Ultra Smoke allows your entry into a new dimension - a twilight zone in which reality is molded into what it could never be in ordinary life.

TOOLS

You need a gimmicked card case. This comes with the package and has been specially printed by the United States Playing Card Co. The package also comes with a booklet jam-packed with routines and ideas from Daniel Garcia and Luke Dancy. Most importantly, the book details the psychology behind the handling of the box in real performance and why it must be done exactly as taught to achieve greatest impact.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE GHOST CARD CASE?

Look at the picture of the "3 OF CLUBS" box above. When the critical time comes, you are meant to hold that box in a certain way, upside down facing the spectator. When done correctly, this gives the ultimate illusion that the words do in fact say "Bicycle" right up to the last second since the last "B" is reversed. Then, you slowly drag your thumb and pull it across the box, creating the illusion that you can change printing at will.

Imagine ripping a signed card into four pieces. Then, as slowly and fairly as possible, you take two of the pieces and simply touch them together at the corners. They fuse rejoining together and visibly restoring.

The process is repeated for the third and fourth corners, enacting a complete restoration of the SIGNED, freely selected card. If you are considering buying ANY magic DVD in the next few months, you need to put Torn at the top of your list. You will NOT be disappointed.

These ten cards are counted again. Strangely... there are now only nine. The one card she'd been thinking of has vanished! She's still only thinking of her card; it's never been named out loud!

She counts the other ten cards she's been holding; ten cards you haven't touched since the beginning. But now she has eleven cards! The strange traveler has arrived... her thought-of card is now staring her in the face!

Strange Travelers is a streamlined version of a classic effect that was Nate Lepzig's favorite over 75 years ago. Other variations have come and gone. David re-discovered this hidden gem, and the rest is history.

And the really good news: Blaine's favorite effect is extremely easy to do.

No palming. No difficult moves. Just a simple elegant handling that just about anyone can learn.

Complete with Paul Harris' revised gimmick and routines, which includes a version where you start and finish with a normal deck.

GEEK (magic): definition - n. : a performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, such as discharging a quarter from arm.

You just keep telling yourself that.

OK, you and Sean Fields are both geeks.

Borrow a coin and eat it. Cut your arm with a knife and squeeze the same coin out of your own opened wound. Your arm opens up like Moses parting the red sea.

Step right up folks. Reactions have never been so guaranteed.

A guy named Cris did this on national television and magicians who fit the genre have been waiting to be able to perform the miracle.

If it was good enough for the Jersey Geek, it should be good enough for YOU.

Now for the REALLY disturbing part; the performer begins to pull the thread back through his throat!  This is grotesque; the spectator can actually SEE the thread tearing through the skin!

After the thread has ripped through the skin, there is no wound, no scars, nothing to see, and nothing to find. Just a hunk of thread, a naked neck and the memory of an unspeakable weirdness.

You can also 'swallow' a finger ring, perform SAW and pull the thread out of your neck with the ring attached.

Sean Fields has created a deeply disturbing effect, and has teamed up with a somewhat concerned Rodney Reyes to make it available to those that like this sort of thing.

A playing card is selected, shuffled into the deck and then...the impossible happens! The performer points out the dog tag chain hanging around his neck.

Get a load of this:

There are no breaks in the chain and no slits or tears in the card. The selected card visibly impales itself onto the chain, leaving it in an impossibly linked condition. Everything is completely examinable! You can even give it away as a souvenir!

Psychological Subtleties 3 has dozens of routines filled with layers of subtleties and psychological principles for your mentalism/magic toolbox.
In the Introduction to Psychological Subtleties 3, the living legend and international man of mystery, David Berglas talks about his relationship with Banachek and his respect for his skills.

Chapter One - Subtle Dealing with Difficult Spectators: Have you ever had your performance disrupted by a cell phone? Have you ever had a spectator refuse to reveal their thought-of number/card/item? Have you ever had a spectator deliberately lie to you about what they were thinking? This chapter deals with preventing and creating the perfect performance situation so these will never happen to you again.

Chapter Two - Subtle Creating the Perfect Situation: In this chapter you will learn how in the first two minutes to make a perfect impression for the rest of your show, equivoque subtleties, plus you will learn two amazing principles where you will appear to know intimate details about complete strangers. Why do psychological subtleties work for some performers but not for others? Banachek talks in this chapter about how conviction is the key. This chapter also includes how to use politically correct statements in your performance to influence your volunteer’s thoughts and a wonderful pseudo explanation to your audience of how you can made them think of a specific vegetable.

Chapter Three – Subtle Verbal: This is all about verbal “dual reality” and how to be both right and wrong at the same time. It is also how to phrase something so it is understood differently by your volunteer than by the audience. A couple effects from this chapter include “Picture Perfect” wherein a spectator is able to describe the color of a shirt, the color of the eyes, the time on a clock and the name of an individual in a picture without ever having seen it. “Ultimate Imagination” is a coin visualization routine wherein the performer is able to tell a spectator which invisible coin they are thinking of and which hand holds the coin.

Chapter Four – Subtle Drawings: Drawn from Banachek's professional repertoire, this chapter reveals one of his favorite ploys: the Cheshire Cat Principle. In this effect you know how a spectator is drawing a picture in their mind and also the fact that they left out a major detail in their drawing. Among other effects and principles in this chapter, you will learn a multiple picture duplication, another picture duplication using nothing but psychological subtleties, and a routine where the performer predicts a picture drawn by a spectator.

Chapter Five – Subtle Letters: This chapter revisits Banachek's principle where spectators mix up letters in a word and think of one and you know what it is. The first two effects take this principle to a new level by allowing you to not only know the letter, but also animals, places, people, and other specific things that reside in the spectator’s minds. The chapter closes with a very diabolical book test.

Chapter Six – Subtle Cards: This chapter deals with how to use various psychological principles to force playing cards.

Chapter Seven – Subtle Dates: Four spectators think of a date on the calendar. The performer correctly identifies the dates that three spectators are thinking of and concludes with a startling revelation of a fourth spectator’s thought. This was originally sold for $20.00 as Kenton’s Kalendar. Also included in this chapter are two different methods for revealing the day of the week in a calendar year.

Chapter Eight – Subtle Psychokinesis: When it comes to metal bending, it is imperative that the audience sees the participant feeling the psychokinesis (PK) happening. Do you want to make spectators feel hot, cold or feel taps/touches or feel metal bend in a bag? This chapter goes into detail on how to create these impressions both psychologically and physically.

Chapter Nine – Subtle Telephone: Play a dramatic game of Russian Roulette, reveal a song that a spectator is thinking of, and detect a lie all while on the other end of the telephone.

Chapter Ten – Subtle Numbers: This chapter revisits Banachek's “Reversal” principle that gives it meaning and applies it to an ingenious book test. We also take an in depth visit to the “Gray Elephant in Denmark” principle and give it new clothing. Also included in this chapter is a prediction effect that culminates in creating a souvenir gift origami raven using psychokinesis.

Chapter Eleven – Subtle Paradox: Using the written word you are able to predict which coin will be chosen and whether it is heads or tails; which invisible M&M will be selected and whether or not it will have nuts; whether medication is taken for two weeks or four days, and; successfully predict the make of a car and whether or not it is a four-wheel drive. You will also be able to show that you knew the spectator’s Personal Identification Number (PIN) in advance and in another effect, how to create two separate realities at the same time.

Chapter Twelve – Subtle Perceptions: Optical illusions are applied to psychic effects in this chapter. For example George Washington on a one dollar bill reveals whether or not a volunteer is telling the truth and in a separate effect, two spectators read the performer’s thoughts by staring at a third spectator’s scribble.

Chapter Thirteen – Subtle Betting: You will learn two different methods that will make it appear that you predicted the correct results of the lottery plus a clever way to show that you correctly bet and won on a sporting event.

Chapter Fourteen – Subtle Dunninger: This chapter reveals some of the bold subtleties used by Dunninger on stage and behind the microphone on his number one rated television show.

Chapter Fifteen – Subtle News: Banachek reveals one of his most coveted methods for predicting the headlines of the newspaper.

Banachek's metal bending is so amazing and so realistic that he has often been accused of being and doing 'the real thing.' After studying Banachek's metal bending, the McDonnell Laboratory for Psychic Research proudly announced to the scientific community that they had discovered someone with genuine psychic abilities. The National Inquirer and other media heralded Banachek's psychokinetic talents.

Gerry and Banachek finally reveal all! They share the inside work, the fine pints and the psychology of metal bending. These secrets have been jealously guarded...until now! Learn some of the most powerful, stunning, realistic and practical techniques imaginable. Great addition to your 'street magic' repertoire.

Through detailed explanations of technical artistry and principles, The Paper Engine teaches you - by exploring the important concepts of tension, focus, and design - how to construct and perform magic that's built on a framework of impeccable structural engineering.

And yet this is not a book on optimal finger positioning. On the contrary, it is a work that envisions the larger picture, even as it crafts the small. A work that makes your magic softer, tensionless … and truly invisible. While some of the material is challenging, The Paper Engine is designed to have you performing miracles for living, breathing audiences.

Written to take intermediate card workers to the advanced level, The Paper Engine will show you ...

• how to eliminate tension from your card work; and, just as importantly, when to embrace tension, and use it to strengthen the effect.
• why some techniques actually help you focus on the audience, while most moves force you to focus on your hands.
• that many times we magicians work too hard. Master the use of gravity, and improve your sleight of hand.

Lauded by many of today's top card workers, The Paper Engine is a must-have for the student of thoughtful, serious, and provocative card magic.

• The Haunted Coin: An examined coin is placed on a table. It slowly stands up, then turns over.
• Bank Night: The steel core coin is marked by a spectator (using a ‘write and wipe’ ink marker). This coin is placed in a coin envelope (available at stationary stores). Four quarters are placed in four other envelopes. The envelopes are closed and mixed by a spectator. The above is done while the performer’s back is turned. Seated at a table, the performer places one of his hands palm-up on the table. The envelopes are placed on the hand one at a time. The performer easily knows which envelope contains the correct coin.
• Coin Vanish: The steel core coin is great for vanishes, since most people have a hard time finding these in circulation. Place the coin on a spectator’s hand, then wave your hand/wrist over the coin in a circular motion, and the coin vanishes!
