Almost Believable (PDF)

(Description from J&B Magic Shop)

It’s rare to have a working professional release any of their material. So to say we were excited to read this book is an understatement and we weren’t disappointed. His version of the Biddle Trick is a game changer for anyone working in parlor or stand up situations. Add to this his version of the ashes trick and a use of Toxic that will fool you.

His subtle but important work on the Paperclipped Switch has instantly gone into many pros working repertoire.

This isn’t pie in the sky ideas it’s real work from a real performer and every page has value.

List of Effects

The Biddle Trick that Can’t be Explained:


A new take on the classic Biddle trick that justifies every part of the plot, while giving the spectators a moment where the feel like everything was out of the magician’s control.

Toxic Untouched:


To be used with any calculator where Toxic can be performed, this version takes it from a coincidence to an actual magic effect. A number completely changes on a calculator while seemingly being out of the magician’s hands.

Biddle’s Ashes:


Similar to the Biddle trick, the classic “ashes on hand” trick has been reworked to be a completely impossible moment that’s seems completely out of the magician’s control. Bonus ideas with Mark Southworth’s Double Cross included.

Time is a Gift:


This is Bryan’s take on Patrick Kun’s Timeline app and turned into an every day carry that’s completely organic.

Final Load in the Spectator’s Hand:


A kicker ending for any cups and balls routine where the final load actually ends up in the spectator’s hand. This is a complete shock to spectators.

Other Things You Can Do With a Paperclip:


Bryan’s work on Jay Sankey’s Paperclipped effect has changed the way many working pros use this sleight. If you’re already familiar with the move, do these tweaks and you’ll fool yourself.
