Six Shooter - Practical Card Routines for the Strolling Magician (e-book)
Six pack is an ebook containing 6 of my latest handlings and approaches to classic card routines. You will find a variety of strong and practicle close up card work, which are all strong, audience tested material. All of the items are easily within the range of the intermediate level card magician.
- S.W.I - Follow the Interchange is an almost self working pocket interchange routine where two sets of four of a kind transpose between the hands of the spectator and the pockets of the magician instantly. No palming or angle issues, just a very strong and direct approach to this modern classic.
- 3 Thoughts - 3 Located is a 3-phase hands off mental discovery of 3 thought of cards. Combining an age old ruse with a presentation involving voice inflections, thoughts and memory, this is one of my go to routines for laymen.
- Bluff Patrol is my take on John Bannon's Dawn Patrol that does not require a faro shuffle. Featuring an extremely fair looking selection and control procedure, this approach to the sandwich plot is I believe worthy of your consideration.
- Coinkidinky A variant handling of Allan Ackermans quick coincidence. Using a little known force used by Fred Kaps, this discovery of a four of a kind is lean and mean and extremely practicle.
- Impulsive Revelation A great piece to work with a coupl at a function. The man thinks of a card in a packet and the lady successfully locates his selection. Very easy but memorable and commercial.
- It's all in the name... This is one of my approaches to the mystery card plot. An unkown stranger backed card proves to be the signed selection. Can a card really be in two places at the same time? Another go to from my working set, super practicle and direct in approach and handling. Involves the spectator in the action with a finish they won't see coming.
Please note that all the material is written with the assumption that you know your way around a deck of cards and have studied all the basic and classic texts.

The quotes below are from three of the world's finest card magicians who have had a sneek peek at this brand new DVD from John Carey. Featuring 11 superb routines, all of the effects are from John's working material and all have been worked and refined for many years. This not only makes them extremely practical for all working conditions, but also hard hitting and extremely direct. This DVD runs in at over two hours duration, representing great value for money
"John Carey has a knack for creating strong, direct card miracles using simple and devious methods. The routines shine brightly in the real world" John Guasstaferro
"John Carey is well known within a limited circle in magic for his uncanny ability to apply subtlety and subterfuge to effect magicial moments of the highest order. It appears that now is the time for that circle of knowledge to be expanded... no knuckle busters, no pipe dreams, no angle limitations - these are all real workers" Jack Carpenter
"John is an alchemist; he turns moves you already know into the miracles you've always wanted to do. Imagine Card at Any Number, Searchers and Pocket Interchange all for the cost of a discrepancy and double lift. He's also able to squeeze solid, commercial magic out of coins with no wasted effort. Frankly he ticks me off!" Curtis Kam

Further Spotlight (e-book)
Further Spotlight contains simple, practical and powerful performance pieces with an ungaffed deck. A nice mixture of plots and handlings with something that should suit every cardmans taste. Created with laymen in mind, the material is direct and to the point.
- Cut off point - an extremely simple but powerful approach to the classic one deck do as I do.
- Clearly impossible - signature fusion meets omni deck, inspired by Bill Abbott
- Out of sight but still in mind - my streamlined handling and approach to Dai Vernon's card classic.This handling will put a classic right into your repertoires, with no awkward moves.
- WTF? Interchange - a very direct and bold approach to the classic pocket interchange effect. 3 selections which can be signed instantly transpose with a freely chosen 4 of a kind. No dupes, no p-----g, no kidding.
- Those whispering good time girls - a simple but strong approach to the classic whisperers plot with a sweet transposition at the end.
- No truth in the tells - my approach to David Williamson's liars poker where 5 mistakes magically rectify themselves in an instant.
- Two little breathers - Two items worthy of your attention using the breather crimp. Including Mo would have loved this, which is a pseudo memory and dead cutting demonstration. The payoff at the end of this will put a smile on your face.
- Counting on you - this is my handling and approach to Paul Cummins' fantastic counting on it from fasdiu. In my handling you never ask the spectator for their number until after you have cut out a packet from the center. The cards are counted and the total matches their number. The last card counted is turned over to reveal the selection.
- Crystal whisper - a two card transpo for the workers. A peeked card changes places with a joker that is on top of a glass and in full view of the audience.
- Twin decisions - another approach to the one deck do as I do with a few different approaches outlined. With this you can get the effect of TAPALAC without any mental gymnastics.
- When Nyquist met Lorayne - an extremely direct approach to the classic sandwich plot.
- You and me - a signed card to box routine with a kicker they will remember.

- Gunslinger ace production
- An approach to the one deck do as I do
- One deck again - a do as I do that is devious
- Two to tango - my preferred handling of card at a number,designed for maximum impact with minimum of toil.
- Biddle in the middle with Max - Make your spectator the star with this almost self working commercial piece inspired by a Max Maven effect from Antinomy
- A sandwich transposition - my approach to Darwin Ortiz' beyond sleight of hand from Card Shark

- A two selection discovery - culminating in the deck vanishing in a very bold but deceptive fashion.
- Simplex mental location - a spectator thinks of a card and you find it in a very direct and subtle fashion. Self working and impromptu.
- The truth will tell - my step by step lie detector with a finish that will really hit em hard.
- One for Henry and Sid - a piece inspired by two giants of card magic-Sid Lorraine and Henry Christ. Two people take part in a double layered piece where one discerns the others card. To top it all, the selection makes an unexpected appearance.
- The pack of mystery - inspired by a Jennings plot. The pack slowly reveals a selection a bit at a time with a kicker finish.
- Knowing as I do - yet another practical approach to the one deck do as I do, inspired by Ramon Rioboo from Spain. A great way to get 4 of a kind in play prior to further mysteries.
In addition 5 other practical card items suitable for the working performer including a handling of the Mystery Card that plays very nicely.
