Steve Dusheck's Introduction to Business Card Magic - Manuscripts © 2005 by Steve Dusheck

 

The magic listed here is not self working and requires practice. The tricks have to be made using your computer and printed on a color printer. In addition, most of the printed cards will have to be laminated as well. These effects are not for the magic hobbyist or casual magician. Only serious, working magicians will be able to appreciate the full value of these concepts and benefit from them. If the image you create is not that of a successful entertainer, the magic I teach and sell will not play well for you. It should only be purchased by magicians who are performing paid shows.

   
Binary Math, Progressive Anagrams, Business Cards and You, $10.00 is the title of a manuscript that describes a business card that potential clients will want to keep. Everyone you perform for and everyone you give your business card to is a potential client. They will also show your business card to their friends, relatives, and coworkers--more potential clients! In fact, everyone who sees your business card is a potential client. This additional, free advertising will provide many extra bookings for you. You also make your audiences happy when you give them your business card.

    You will be taught a variety of ways to customize your business cards to fit the needs of your clients and shown many variations to ensure that the card is of special interest to specific audiences. This is a great business card and worth a small fortune to any working magician.

   
The Universal Packet Card Trick, $15.00 is another of my manuscripts that teaches a business card magic trick. This quick and easy routine entertains and fools the audience. The props are the laminated, business cards you made with your computer. The handling requires a knowledge of several standard sleights. The thing that makes my UPCT so special is that I teach you how to modify it so it looks and plays like a new, completely different magic effect. By simply changing the graphics and presentation you can create a routine for every special occasion and theme you will ever require. This is extremely important if you are a local, part-time, close-up magician performing for the same, repeat customers.
Since the handling is always the same for every UPCT you create, you never have to spend time learning each new trick. The UPCT is also perfect for walk around or table hopping.

    You will soon discover that magic designed to fit a special occasion, or interest, plays much stronger than generic tricks. Invest in yourself and buy the Universal Packet Card Trick manuscript.

   
Force Fields 2004, $20.00 If you are tired of using the same generic forces that all magic hobbyists use, you will want this manuscript. You will find many great ways to force one of four objects, one of  five things, and one of six items. You will not only learn how to take advantage of common information and use it as a method of forcing, but also be taught how to create forces for the specific theme you require. You can make most of the props with your computer and color printer. The forces are logical and fit the effects you need them for. You won't ever use the weak forces that the other magicians are stuck with once you start using the forces in this manuscript. Since it requires work to make them, you don't have to worry about the lazy hobbyist magicians in your area using them.

 

    Don't judge my manuscripts by the low prices I charge for them...they are worth much more. I don't sell my magic wholesale to magic shops in order to save my customers' money. If you actually make and use the tricks described in the above manuscripts, I know you will be thrilled with them and want more of my business card effects. I have over 200 different business card effects available, which is extremely important if you have a steady booking performing close up magic for the same customers. You can perform a different effect with your business cards week after week, year after year. All of these business card effects have been used by me, and my many magician friends, under real world working conditions, for many years.
   

    Once you buy my UPCT manuscript, you can buy my UPCT magic list of over 100 different UPCT routines for just $20.00. You can buy the effects described, custom made with your name and phone number printed on them. The average price per UPCT effect is only $15.00. However, the list includes over 300 black and white examples of the actual business cards I designed for each effect. That means you can make the cards yourself using your own computer and printer if you prefer. Even with my very low prices, making the UPCT business cards yourself can save you well over $1,000.00. That makes buying my UPCT list a great deal and a great reason for you to buy my UPCT manuscript first so that you can learn how to make and create your own UPCT routines.
   

    Since the quantities I made are very limited, I cannot sell my manuscripts and business cards to everyone. These items are reserved for my regular customers and serious, working magicians. These business cards are not for the hobbyists, so you will not be able to do them unless you know and can perform the basic moves required with packet card tricks. Remember that you must have the ability to make the business cards on your computer before you consider buying these manuscripts.
      

    Magicians who purchase all 4 of my manuscripts are eligible to become members of my Custom Club. Membership entitles you to a special discount on all of the business cards tricks I make. The basic $15.00 UPCT effects, for example, only cost Custom Club members $10.00 .That is the best deal in magic. Plus it provides members with magic effects that their competition can't buy from their favorite magic dealer.
      

    Successful magicians don't perform the same tricks that all the other magicians use.

They stand out from the average magicians with unique effects.
