PATEO Force (Pick Any Two, Eliminate One) is a method of forcing a particular object from a set of objects created by Roy Baker. It involves the spectator and magician in a rotating selecting and elimination process, leaving only one object from an unlimited number of objects.  

This trick is the “+ version” of the "Signed Coin Routine" already described on this platform. A half-dollar signed by the spectator is sandwiched between two English pennies, and then everything is isolated in a small metal box. The coins disappear and reappear mysteriously. The effect is repeated several times in a row! A real miracle!  

I wanted a different version of the coin in the bottle, and this is it! I'll let you be surprised, but the spectator will leave with an unusual souvenir. A beautiful and twisted idea by Gaetan Bloom.  

Openers: the opening trick. What is a good opener? Henry Evans gives you his theoretical and practical thoughts on this crucial subject for magicians. Ideas to follow to the letter to ensure the success of your act or your show. Golden tips!  

The magician shows a small box from which he takes out a red-backed deck of cards; the box is now empty. A spectator is invited to hold the deck in one hand, and her other hand is held by the magician. The magician explains that he is going to transmit a magical effect through the spectator, into the deck of cards! The spectator will then determine a card in a "virtual" blue deck. This card will appear in real life, folded four times in the "Dream Box" which was empty. The red cards are shown, they have all disappeared (i.e. they are blank on each side), except for one card, which is the card chosen by the spectator! Success guaranteed!  

An easy, but devilishly baffling trick. A coin placed in between the hands of the magician disappears completely. Nothing in the hands, nothing in the sleeves, the coin has vanished into thin air!
