			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Flash Video Resizer 1.1 : 475pixel --><p>Pressure is a visually stunning trick performed and created by Daniel Garcia and Dan White. The trick is really simple: Put a cell phone or any handheld object into a balloon! So basically this is a variation of balloon penetration trick.<span id="more-194"></span></p>
<p>Here is the official video promo:</p>
<div id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:62d29c0c-9b33-405a-9c60-61e76791b0e6" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px">
<div><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="475" height="390" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="flashvars" value="vn=/previews/t11_pressure.flv&amp;vt=http://cdn.theory11.com/images/Pressure_Prev_Thumb.jpg&amp;rp=/tricks/pressure.php" /><param name="src" value="http://cdn.theory11.com/embed-player.swf" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="475" height="390" src="http://cdn.theory11.com/embed-player.swf" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="vn=/previews/t11_pressure.flv&amp;vt=http://cdn.theory11.com/images/Pressure_Prev_Thumb.jpg&amp;rp=/tricks/pressure.php"></embed></object></div>
</div>
<p>Here is the official trick description from Theory11:</p>
<blockquote><p>A borrowed cell phone is held in one hand &#8211; and a balloon is inflated. The cell phone visually penetrates inside of the balloon. It is shown, then given back to the spectator with the cell phone still inside.</p>
<p>The result is a twisted hybrid of visual craziness: the borrowed cell phone is INSIDE of the balloon. The spectator removes it herself. There are no crazy gimmicks. Any cell phone. Any balloon. Nothing but magic.</p></blockquote>
<h2>Tutorial</h2>
<p>So, this video is going to reveal this trick, I bet you will be shocked by the simplicity and the idea of this trick!</p>

Take a thin rope and makes a loop, simulating an &#8220;eye of a needle&#8221;. Now, you need to thread the end of the rope through the eye&#8230; which is impossible because the &#8220;eye&#8221; is just too small but BAM! [...]]]></description>

<h2>The Effect</h2>
<p>Take a thin rope and makes a loop, simulating an &#8220;eye of a needle&#8221;. Now, you need to thread the end of the rope through the eye&#8230; which is impossible because the &#8220;eye&#8221; is just too small but BAM! The rope is instantly threaded through the loop!</p>
<h2>Explanation</h2>
<p>Watch the video tutorial below:</p>

<p>You slowly mix the dominos up… real slow!</p>
<p>Now, no matter how their eyes catch your &#8220;one&#8221;, they will never, ever get it right! You will always win – you can bet your life!</p>
<h2>The Video</h2>

<h2>What You Need</h2>
<p>Well, if you think the dominos really can magically switch place, think again. You will need to have the gimmicked dominos.</p>

<strong><img src="http://www.themagictricksblog.com/images/superman_coin_bend.jpg" border="0" alt="Superman_coin_bend" align="right" />Superman Coin Bend</strong> is labeled by many as an ingenious coin bend trick including <a href="http://www.ellusionist.com/product/tricks/coins+&amp;+money/superman+coin+bend.do#" target="_blank">Ellusionist.com</a>.</p>
<p>Superman Coin Bend is not like any other typical coin bend trick which involves swapping of coins. It is a trick that bends any borrowed, signed coin on the spot in plain view!</p>
<p>Here is a live performing video of Superman Coin Bend trick:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="475" height="384" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sIbXmG9v4XE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="475" height="384" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sIbXmG9v4XE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></embed></object></p>
<p>To perform this trick, you will need a special gimmick called the <strong>Invisi-Bender</strong>, made by Mike Parobec and crafted by Roy Kueppers. This little &#8220;invisible&#8221; tool will help you do the bending.</p>
<p>The set-up is fast and easy. This gimmick is visually invisible if you perform the trick correctly. So, you can end clean and it resets in seconds. You can repeat the trick as many times you like using different coins from the spectators.</p>

<p><strong>Witness</strong> is one of my favourite close up card magic trick! Lee Asher has done a fantastic job in creating this unbelievable and &#8216;impossible&#8217; magic tricks. Here&rsquo;s the preview video:</p>
<p><span id="more-63"></span></p>
<p><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2N75cJHrkpc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" width="475" height="381" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></p>
<p>I really can figure it out at this moment. Here is how the effect goes&hellip;</p>
<p>A&nbsp;card selected by a spectator and the spectactor holds a ziplock bag with a Joker sealed inside. The Joker is held between the spectator&#8217;s palms and boom! The Joker &#8216;transforms&#8217; into the card selected previously! Never once is the bag opened. Everything can be handed out for examination.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ll reveal this trick once I found out how it was done. Stay tuned!</p>

This trick is one of the basic card change or color change tricks.
Basically, you split the deck into half, one half as a fan and another half for the color change,&#160;on Mechanic&#8217;s Grip. The color change half is covered with the one hand fan and the card on top will change.
Detailed instructions and demo below:

<p>This is a one great, simple and old trick to learn.</p>
<h3>The Effect</h3>
<p>A signed card, teared a hole off the middle and had a rope inserted right through the hole.</p>
<p>Then, the card is &lsquo;released&rsquo; from the rope covered by a cloth. There is no tear and wear of the sides of the card.</p>
<h3>What You Need</h3>
<p>Well, nothing much. A rope, roughly about 1 meter long, a playing card and a marker/pen for the spectator to sign on the card (optional).</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span></p>
<h3>The Tutorial</h3>
