Commenting on "form and function" the performer draws attention to the precise curve of a plane's wing and how its form provides "lift". To demonstrate, a gentle curve is induced along the length of any playing card. With just a little coaxing, the card slowly lifts out an inch from the table's surface and then, while hovering in mid air, smoothly rotates! The performer then shows his hand empty, pushes the card back down onto the table, and offers it for examination.
A perfect effect for close-up, TV, restaurants and bars. You may also levitate other small items like matchboxes, bottlecaps, mini candy bars, etc.

BIKIN' is a totally new and original card conception. Novel, baffling, and highly visual, this effect takes the notion of "Travelling Jokers" to the nth degree.
You'll never look at a deck of Bikes quite the same way ever again!
Imagine the Joker deciding to take his wheels for a spin. It would look quite special as he peddled around the EDGE of the card to arrive safely on the BACK. Being a smart cookie, he then takes the shorter route back home and passes THROUGH THE CARD.
This is just one of the many sequences that can be created with this very special gimmicked set of Jokers.
The Joker can also peddle through the deck and arrive on the back of a SELECTED CARD.
Full deck handlings and "packet" handlings are explored in 14 pages of illustrated instructions.
Complete with specially printed Bicycle Cards.
Prepare to explore new bikeways... to stretch the bounds of the Joker's known horizons.

Here's the original classic, back again after over a decade with the real gaff, rewritten instructions and great new photos!
A card is selected, examined and signed front and back - read that again, the CARD IS SIGNED FRONT AND BACK! A match is borrowed and placed on the card. The card is flexed to energize it. Note that the match does not move during the pre-flexing. When desired, the match floats off the back of the card and a finger ring may be passed over the floating match to prove the absence of support! Then, the match slowly floats back down and once again, all may be examined! As a finale, the effect is repeated and this time the match leaps several feet into the air! Everything can again, be examined! Comes with the correct gaff, extra supplies and detailed instructions.

Hole In The Head
by Ben Harris
For centuries rumors have blossomed: tales of gurus, shamans, mystics and the secret powers of the mysterious "Third Eye" have fascinated the populous. But, can the myth's reality actually be demonstrated? Now, Ben Harris brings this fantastic mystery to life-creating a unique, freaky and visually-arresting effect-one slick enough for even the most savvy of today's street-wise performers.
HOLE IN THE HEAD has been one of the art's most closely guarded secrets of recent times-it has fooled, amused and delighted some of magic's biggest names. Using no mirrors or reflective devices and no stooges, HOLE IN THE HEAD is a radical and visual NEW PLOT-an exciting piece of street-theatre that simply MUST be experienced live! What's more, it's 100% practical! This is a one person-do anywhere-illusion.
In effect, the performer gathers a crowd around himself in a brightly lit, sunny spot. Discussing the amazing legend, he offers to open his own 'Third Eye' allowing the sun to shine right through his head. As this would be too dangerous to observe directly, he suggests that everyone focus attention on his shadow. After some concerted effort, a small blob of light appears in the centre of his shadow head. Amazingly, this blob of light then grows larger at his command. To prove that it is no mere optical illusion and that the light does indeed pass through his head, a spectator is asked to wave her hand behind the performer's cranium. Incredibly, when she does this, the actions are reciprocated in the shadow head-her fingers are clearly visible in the shadow hole! THE CONCLUSION IS INESCAPABLE-THE SUN IS INDEED SHINING STRAIGHT THROUGH A HOLE IN THE PERFORMER'S HEAD! The process is now reversed and the hole slowly closed. YOU CAN PERFORM THIS STUNNER VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE THE SUN SHINES. Complete with bonus handlings and clever ideas by Paul Harris and Michael Weber. YOU CAN EVEN OPEN A SPECTATOR'S OWN 'THIRD EYE'!

A journey beyond the tear, inspired by the weird world of Quantum Physics. In this superbly produced book, filled with photographs Ben Harris shares seven routines. Includes:
The Quarter Back Tear - A method for apparently tearing a card cleanly in half, while in reality, only tearing one quarter from the card. This can set you up as either being a "quarter ahead" or a "quarter behind". Particle Vanish - A clean and complete vanish of a full playing card. Upon being torn into quarters, the card simply pops out of existence! You are 100% clean, the card is simply gone! And much, much more!
8.5" x 11", Soft Bound, 39 Pages, 104 Photos
"Some of the most clever takes on the Torn and Restored Card in years, Ben Harris' Quarks & Quirks is an invigorating journey of topological twists and tears."
-Richard Kaufman
