However， his first love is as a creator of original， innovative magic and mentalism and in this DVD of his acclaimed lecture at the 2007 MacMillan International Magic Convention he shares some of his favourite material from his best selling books Some Tricks and Some More Tricks.



Natural Lottery



This gasp getting opener to Anthonya?#8482;s Monday Night Magic act is ideal for any stage or platform performance. The magician asks six random audience members to each select a different number between 1 and 49. Amazingly these numbers prove to be the same six which are on the printed lottery ticket the magician bought earlier that day! You might not be able to win the lottery， but you can influence your audience members to pick the numbers you want them to! No pre show or limited selections.



Number at Card



A unique solution to a legendary card effect. A deck is handed to a spectator for safe keeping. A playing card and a number between 1 and 52 are both freely named (no forces， pre show work or limited selections). The deck is opened and it is revealed that every card has a different number between 1 and 52 printed on its back a?盿nd incredibly the freely selected card bears the freely selected number!



Holey Sh*t!



An amazing visual vanish of a selected card created by Anthony in collaboration with Pete Firman. In Anthony’s handling the selection visibly vanishes from between two examined cards each with a hole in its centre. The card appears face up in the centre of the deck which the spectator is holding. At the end all of the cards can be examined. This is ideal for commercial walkaround situations as no table is required.



Big Survivor



Members of the audience are invited onto the stage to participate in a magical version of a reality television show. The audience decides who is evicted and yet the performer reveals that he had correctly predicted the winner – twice. Entertaining， topical， stage filling mentalism.



Ultimate Oil and Water



A performance only of Anthony’s acclaimed SOBW Oil and Water routine in which the cards separate even when mixed face up!
