    About this series

    This fourth outing in the series McCoy’s Miracles is devoted to close up magic without playing cards.
    Close-up magic or table magic is performed in an intimate setting usually no more than ten feet (three metres) from one's audience and is often performed while sitting at a table. Professional magicians also perform “mingling” close up magic or “walkaround” magic – which as you can guess – involves him/her moving amoung small groups.
    People prefer close up magic – to any other form. The fact that is done “under their noses” and the fact that often they are involved gives it a viceral and even emotional component that other forms of magical entertainment can’t provide – or rather can’t provide as effectively.

    This is high calibre material. It is not for the beginner. However I would hope that some beginners might give it a go. To any keen amateurs, semi professionals or professionals – this is material which you will like and use. It has been honed over many years. Mr McCoy has been a professional magician and mentalist for 25 years – on both sides of the Atlantic. He has worked with and for Hollywood celebrities, politicians, fortune 500 companies and thousands of private individuals.
    As with all his publications – the student has a massive advantage in that EVERY ROUTINE HAS A LINK TO BOTH A VIDEO PERFORMANCE AND A VIDEO EXPLANATION. This makes things much more effective and interesting and in affect the buyer gets a free DVD .
    So please be prepared to put in a little practice. This is world class material which Mr McCoy passes on for the first time. Most of all enjoy!

      Magic is not about moves and tricks. It is about entering into a relationship with a person or people whereby you can lead them to experience magic – that childlike sense of astonishment were time stops. Tricks are tools. Astonishment and wonder are very real. Here however is not offered “good” card tricks - here is offered superb card magic learned from a lifetime of study. The cliché often heard from experienced magicians is that if they can find one routine/trick in a publication they will be satisfied. The author here offers the six routines he uses most. He guarantees that the more experienced card workers will use every single routine! They are extremely commercial and always get a massive reaction. They really are that good. They are his own invention. Of course like in all creative endeavours he sits on the back of giants. Like in his previous publications How to be a Mentalist, How to be a Mentalist II, In Mind and Time Flies he also offers here something rather unique and of supreme value to the student. Every routine has a video link to both performance to live audiences and explanations. There are also links to teaching the various “sleight of hand” techniques necessary for the execution of these powerhouse routines. In effect the student is getting a DVD as well as written explanation. The author/performer is aware that material like this is usually only offered by specialist dealers at very high prices. He has been criticised for this by other professionals. So be it. This is top notch professional material. If the novice wants to take it on then that is great. The instruction is clear and the video links are invaluable. With diligent practice they can be learned even by the novice. They are however geared to the more experienced magician. These are McCoy’s Miracles and they are indeed world class.

      A cliché often heard from experienced magicians is that if they can find one routine/trick in a publication they will be satisfied. At the outset the author guarantees that the reader/viewer will be satisfied seven times over. Here he offers seven routines he uses frequently. Most are his own creation and he guarantees that the more experienced card workers will use every single routine! It is professional strong material. The routines are extremely commercial and always get a massive reaction. They really are that good. The author/performer is aware that material like this is usually only offered by specialist dealers at very high prices. He has been criticized for this by other professionals. So be it. There will be some difficult moves to learn. They are not easy and the novice will have to put in the time to learn them and perform them. But understand that magic is not about moves or double lifts and difficult sleight of hand. It is about entering into a relationship with a person or people whereby you can lead them to experience magic.

      World class mentalism, mindreading and magic using only a deck of playing cards. Unlike his previous publications these pieces require no sleight of hand - and although of a professional nature can easily be learned by the novice. Each routine has a video link to both performance and explanation which in effect offers a free DVD which is an invaluable teaching tool. A mentalist is a magician of the mind. And like a good magician he/she creates a sense of wonder, amazement and awe in an audience. But whereas a magician appears to do the impossible – the mentalist does the very unlikely – the extremely unlikely. For this reason mentalism appears more real than traditional magic. People believe there is more than mere trickery going on. They go away seeing your performance as something no one could do by “magic tricks The pieces offered in this publication are of a professional nature. They are in most cases the invention of the author who has been a professional mentalist and magician for 20 years on both sides of the Atlantic. He was a keen amateur for 20 years before that. He is aware that such routines are usually offered to the “magic” community at very high prices in specialist publications and has been criticized for doing so. Although the beginner/novice will find these routines easier to perform – they are however good enough to be in the repertoire of any professional magician or mentalist. They may be largely “self working” – but they truly are world class
