I’VE BEEN A GREAT ADMIRER OF NICK EINHORN  for many years and have seen him grow in his magic and stature until today, when I believe he is amongst the top half dozen professional magicians in the country. In his performance, his thinking, his professionalism and his sheer imagination in presenting magic that goes far beyond the everyday. In this respect I have likened him to Al Koran, top magician of half a century ago who was unbelievable in taking standard magic effects and giving them an extra twist that made them into miracles. Witness his Flying Ring, his Impromptu Miracle Card Stab , his Gold Medallion Prediction and many other outstanding pieces of magic.

At Eastbourne, Nick Einhorn confirmed to me and a thousand other visitors just how good he is in his stunning lecture created especially for the convention  -“Very practical stuff you will probably want to do!”  Packed with gems of practical, diverse magic that are currently in his professional repertoire. Some brilliant twists on the historical Coin in Bottle including the production and  vanish of the bottle. An excellent development on Steve Duscheck’s “Lethal Tender”using a small purse with the gizmo instead of the usual playing card. A impromptu book test that’s so simple and ever-ready that Annemann would have been proud to have claimed its origin.

Again an ever -ready mental effect in which two watches apparently match without any input from the magician. Spooky! A really excellent card effect based on “Triumph” combined with a prediction in a wallet in which the signed card appears on the reverse side of the previously shown prediction! Outstanding and worthy of some of the best card men in magic. Finally an ESP stage routine that is dynamic, baffling and simple that adapted for a trade show could be dynamite.

Six baffling, simple, diverse items of magic proven in performance by one of the best brains in the business. All these were beautifully presented in the lecture notes in book form with excellent descriptions, photographs and graphics and included in the low price is a specially made gimmick that is used in the Coin in Bottle routine. At £10.00 it’s a steal!  Unreservedly recommended.
