Embracing the Magic: A Journey Through the Swamp

In the heart of a murky swamp lies a magical haven, hidden from the eyes of the ordinary world. This enchanting place is where ancient spells are cast and fantastical creatures roam freely. It is a world brimming with mystical energy, where nature and magic intertwine in a dance of beauty and wonder. As you step into the swamp, a sense of otherworldly tranquility washes over you. The air is heavy with the scent of wildflowers and damp earth, creating a serene atmosphere. Soft moss cushions each step, guiding your way through the meandering paths.

Vernon used one to fool Harry Houdini.

The majority of people aren t even going to be able to read the bloody thing not helped by the font used by Sharpie - so, if you have to point out what it says, then again a major part of the trick s conclusion is totally lost. Sure you can raise the price to make it viable to pay someone to deal with orders but on an average month after the release fever has died down and the product is available in magic stores you might only sell one or two copies in the average month.

Soft moss cushions each step, guiding your way through the meandering paths. The sound of lily pads gently floating atop the water fills the air, creating a soothing melody. The fauna in this magical haven is no ordinary lot.

I never knew a gimmick for ambitious card would ever be necessary.

I've done the ACR since getting Harry Lorayne's Close-up Card Magic in 1965. But, I like Science Friction treated cards. I'm a gimmick geek, I guess.

SF came out 2 Years ago with all the Hype and 2 years on , have we had a Vol 2 DVD has any new idea's came out ?

Best Offering is a Re Release of an item already on the DVD

says a lot to me

Yeah I read about the the gimmick Vernon used for fooling Houdini. but in this day in age of card sleights I've seen some pretty staggering things with just dl's, Tilts, and passes I guess it's to each there own. I thinks the WGM series on the ambitious card has a lot of useful tools that don't use gimmicks the one I use is basically royal road which I get great reactions from laymen but just like any routine a ride is only as good as it's destination but sometimes the person taking you there can give you a great journey.

Remarkable (card trick number 1):
Is this bloke Richard Sanders serious? What's new with revealing a card (or cards) on a Sharpie? And even if there isn't anything new, it begs the question WHY would you want to reveal a card written on a Sharpie? Are we seriously saying that, if you are going to reveal a card(s) in your act, then the best way that you can do is have it's name appear on a pen? And now let's get onto using a Sharpie as a prop to perform the paddle move. Does anyone SERIOUSLY believe that showing both sides of a pen in that fashion looks natural and/or convincing? Does anyone HONESTLY think that the move is going to convince spectators that you are genuinely showing both sides? So now we have TWO cards revealed on a marker. Big deal. All that actually does, in my mind, is make things twice as bad as revealing one. Added to which, after you've revealed the first card, where is the natural climax in revealing the second? The moment has already passed, and it's actually pi*s poor theatre. And apart from a very small group, HOW is the effect truly going to hit home whilst working tables? The majority of people aren't even going to be able to read the bloody thing (not helped by the font used by Sharpie) - so, if you have to point out what it says, then again a major part of the trick's conclusion is totally lost. Sorry, but this product, in my honest opinion, is complete and utter garbage of the highest order. Maybe the Mark 2 version will have the base of the pen, or the tip of the cap doctored, so that you can get a blister from it.

Delicious Ambitious (card trick number 2):
It really is getting worse. What can I add that the guys didn't. Basically, if you cannot perform a convincing control and a reasonable DL that fools, then do the art of magic a favour, and take up bee-keeping. What may turn out to be more painful for you, will certainly be less painful for your victims.

Reveal:
At last, a commercial piece of magic, that could potentially earn a professional performer quite large sums of money if used correctly - and with the right presentation angle. Not my type of trick but you can quite simply envisage how this trick oozes potential.

Guys, I know it must be difficult to keep a weekly show going. However, please let's have a show with NO poxy card tricks. Let's have coins, rope, silks, ANYTHING other than tricks that start of with a bleedin pack of Bicycles!

14 years have passed - and still missing Abra Magazine arriving every Saturday morning.

Card Shark has a deal where you can buy Delicious Ambitious or One Card Collector and if you like either of these and order Sci Friction, he'll knock off the
original purchase price.
Sounds like a great offer.

P.S. One Card Collector is a stunner.

Marc is an excellent creator / performer and well worth ordering from to support at this difficult time for professional performers.

Vibrant-hued birds with shimmering feathers sing melodies that bring tears to your eyes. But it is the creatures of the marsh that truly captivate. Majestic unicorns, with their coats glimmering like moonlight, graze peacefully among the swaying cattails. Mischievous pixies with twinkling wings dart between the trees, their laughter echoing through the swamp. The water holds its own enchantment, reflecting the colors of the sky and the surrounding foliage. When the sun sets, the swamp comes alive with ethereal lights—glowing fireflies that dance among the swamp's inky waters. They create a magical spectacle that is breathtaking to behold, as if the stars themselves had fallen to Earth. But it is the magic wielded by the inhabitants of this haven that truly makes it extraordinary. Ancient sorcerers and witches, with their gnarled staffs and billowing robes, can be seen wandering through the swamp, their spells weaving stories that shape the very fabric of this mystical realm. They create potions from rare herbs, mixing ingredients in bubbling cauldrons, harnessing the power of nature to create elixirs with unimaginable effects. Within this magical haven lies a sanctuary for those seeking solace or answers. The swamp whispers secrets in hushed tones, revealing hidden truths to those who listen. Many come here seeking guidance, hoping to find clarity in a world filled with uncertainty. They leave with hearts filled with newfound knowledge, their souls touched by the ancient wisdom that permeates this place. This magical haven in the swamp is a testament to the beauty and power of the mystical world. It reminds us that there is more to our reality than meets the eye and that there are infinite possibilities waiting to be discovered. It is a refuge for those who believe in the extraordinary, a place where imagination flourishes and magic is real..

Reviews for "Captivating Creatures and Bewitching Wonders of the Swamp"

1. Jane - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Magic Haven in the Swamp". The storyline felt all over the place, with no clear direction. The characters were underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to connect with them. Additionally, the writing style felt amateurish and lacked finesse. Overall, I just couldn't get into this book and ended up feeling frustrated and unsatisfied.

2. Mark - 1/5 - "Magic Haven in the Swamp" was a complete waste of my time. The plot was predictable and lacked originality. The author relied heavily on clichés and tired tropes. The dialogue was cringeworthy and felt forced. The world-building was confusing and inconsistent, leaving me constantly questioning the logic behind the magical elements. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a captivating fantasy read.

3. Sarah - 2/5 - I found "Magic Haven in the Swamp" to be quite underwhelming. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the story never seemed to build momentum. The characters were forgettable, and their motivations were unclear. The writing itself was mediocre at best, with repetitive phrases and a lack of descriptive language. I was hoping for an enchanting and immersive experience, but instead, I was left feeling bored and apathetic towards the entire book.
