“Mental Epic Envelopes” is Andrea Rizzolini’s take on the classic effect known to the magic community as “Mental Epic”.
Three envelopes are shown to be blank on the back side while on the front are numbered from one to three.
A spectator is asked to make three random choices (the throw of an immaginary coin, the selection of a number from 1 to 50, etc. etc.) and before each one of them the performer writes a prediction and inserts it into the corresponding envelope.
Joseph Barry’s ‘Out Of My World’ was a massive hit at the Blackpool convention and Magic live!, selling out at both events. A limited amount have been re-printed exclusively for The Modus.
OOMW is an improvisational structure for the out of this world effect it looks and feels impossible and will devastate any audience you show it to. A regular deck is shuffled by the spectator an despite the spectators constantly shuffling, cutting and making all of the choices the cards are impossibly separated into red and black.
Number Nine, published in October 2020, features tricks that are suitable for live performances or virtual performances.
Here you’ll find Red-Scarlet and French Dressing, two amazing, interactive variations on Oil and Water. Zeitgeist allows a number of people to simultaneously cast a spell for one person-perfectly tuned to a computer platform video show. Virtual Applause addresses the problem of applause on a virtual show, and turns it into a mind reading feat. The Enigma Process is an amazing word test that will, in the Impuzzibilities tradition, surprise you, amaze you, and then surprise your audience.

In 1981, Jim Steinmeyer produced Jarrett, but that was only part of the story… The Complete Jarrett is a spectacular new edition of the infamous Jarrett Magic, the controversial 1936 text on stage illusions. Guy Jarrett had constructed illusions for Thurston, for leading Broadway shows, sideshows and world’s fairs. He thought a lot of magic could be better and put his secrets and
