The Five Roads to Vegas
A Broad Range of Outstanding, Sleight-Free Magic from Award-Winning "Linking Ring" Auto-Magic Columnist, Michael Breggar. The clichés about "Self-working magic" pronounce that this allows the Magician to concentrate on the performance, but Michael content that the performance is the effect, the tricks need to be clever, layed, deceptive, and most of all, Entertaining. While Some Methods requires easy moves, Performance is Always More important.
Several of the Tricks in The Five Roads to Vegas Are re-Edited Versions of the Most Commented Upon and Most Requested Tricks from the Linking Ring Column. The Title Effect was published in Genii Magazine and has been used successfully as an opener in many professional acts. The rest are all new and published here for the first time.
While Michael Takes you through Each Each Each effect with Careful Descriptions and Well-Crafted Patter, you will soon fit each effect to your own style.
The reviews have been outstanding!
"Michael Breggar's the Five Roads to Vegas is a joy. Within its 43 pages, there eight effects with a variety of objects, three bonus effects that are variations on the acaan theme and two essays. Several of these were previously published, but that is of no consequence; Written, Well Researched and an Entertainment Read. Than One Of Them Will Occupy A permanent Spot in my directory.

Here's What's Inside:
The Five Roads to Vegas. A Great Opener with lots of audience participation. You play the Role of A Vegas Croupier Dealing Cards to A "Poker Team" of Five Spectators. As you deal down cards from a shuffled deck, The Five "Players" Yell Stop at Any Time. The Cards They Stopped at Randomly included in Royal Flush. But Wait ... You have predicted that of the Five Players WOULD STOP AT WHICH OF THE FIVE ROYAL FLUS CARDS! And as an extra surprise, the other 47 cards in the deck is blank!
Three Numbers and a Lady. A "Triple prediction" effect that solves the ISSUE OF THE TYPICAL "WEAK" Third prediction. There's a nice twist at the end that no one sees come.
Coin-Seyan Economics. "Miraskill" Meets Steinmeyer Meets John Maynard Keynes. What starts as a funny reading in Global Economics (Yeah, Really!), Turns Into a Stunningly, Multi-Phase Predication Effect. Great for stand-up and internship.
Drawing on Emotions. The Drawing Duplication Effect that Michael Ustes in His Parlor and Stage Acts. Can Easily be adapted for closer -up and walk -Around. It is direct, clear and limitless. Above all, it is organic and doesn't feel like "a trick."
A Principle in Search of an Effect. A bare-bones prediction effect is used here to illustrate a little-gused principle that has gilbreath dna. Readers are invited to turn their imagination spigot its high to make this a miracle.
Monopoly-S-P. "The Cure for the Common Bored Game." A fun Mentalism Routine Routine Right Off Your Game Shelf.
Self-Fulfilling Prophesy. Takes Bill Simon's Wonderful "Prophesy" Move to a New Level. Not Only is it Sleight-Free, but it is performed in the spectator's hands!
Three Spies and the Extraction. A Performance Piece that puts the "Self-Fulling Prophesy" in Motion with a cool story about Spies and International Intrigue. The cross -would learciate the ending!
Absolutely Acaany. A Self-working "Any Card at Any Number" Effect that Received More Highly Favorable Emails and How To Any Other Effect in the "Auto-Magic" column. As a bonus, Michael Details Three Additional Sleight-Free Acaan Versions Never Before Published.
