Dancing with the Cards
Award-winning columnist Michael Breggar is back with his signature quirky, yet amazing and professional almost-self-working effects. This time, it's all cards. As always, it's not just the tricks you learn, but the subtleties, tips and nuances to make your magic easy, astonishing and engaging!
Jon Racherbaumer - Michael provides recognizable forms for the simplicity and cleverness of the methods to secretly nourish the engaging and amusing themes he has chosen to anecdotally share-notas tricks per se but as congenial curiosities...which is a difference that truly makes a difference!
Liam Montier - Michael Breggar's continuing contribution to magic is a revelation - commercial plots, devious methods and, most valuable, quirky and engaging presentations! Dancing With the Cards is a must read for card lovers everywhere!
Scott Wells - Michael has given us a real gift with Dancing with the Cards in so many ways. First of all, the tricks themselves are non-heavy, slightly speaking, and easily within the grasp of the beginner. But the presentations (as always) are what separates the magus from the archmagi and the pedestrian from the prestidigitator. Michael gives us entertaining, multi-faceted presentations that will endear and enchant any audience. Moreover, his writing style keeps you entertained as you learn. But the subtleties thrown in the mix should not be overlooked as they are what professionals are made of (if you don't mind me ending a sentence with a preposition). A delightful book of (mostly) card tricks and I guarantee you will find something to put into your performing repertoire, even if it is a suggested move or subtlety. Highly recommended.
The footsteps within...
The Third Attribute. A thought-of card effect that seems like real mind-reading. Did I mention you need not touch the cards?
That Flippin' Contest. A nice follow-up to The Third Attribute effect. A version of the classic "Sloppy Triumph" effect adds an element of relaxed comedy.
The Pasteboard Tango. A shuffled deck is cut in half, and the helper keeps either half. He randomly sets aside 5 or 6 cards in time to the playing music. You do the same. The random cards match!
52! This number represents the number of ways a full deck of 52 cards can be organized (more ways than the number of stars in the known universe). The spectator then makes several decisions based upon cards selected which ultimately leads her to a final selection. Despite the enormity of the odds, you have predicted this selection.
The (Un)Usual Suspects. "Card calling" routines are numerous and while the method described here isas old as the hills, this effect, where you name the cards selected by five volunteers, is as fresh as tomorrows' news.
Occupation Hazard. A bit of black comedy in this routine that uses not playing cards, but cards on which you've written names of occupations that nobody ever wants. The routine is framed as an employment aptitude test, and your assistant somehow manages to select the job that doesn't involve anything grisly!!
Face Your Fears. Steinmeyer meets Freud. Your spectator looks through 25 cards which list common phobias. They find the thing that frightens them the most. After a complete shuffle of fears, they spell out the name of two phobias (which may or may not be theirs) -- but in the end, they wind up with the one card that correctly names their phobia. All the phobias are different and spell with different numbers of letters. Psychologically astounding (and assuredly upsetting!!)
The Wry Detector. This is my take on the classic "lie detector" routine. A card is selected, and your volunteer can choose to lie or tell the truth about the three attributes of the selection. You have a little gadget though that not only helps you correctly identify the "real" selection but causes the "lied about "card to turn over in an unused deck!
Unmarked Cards. One of my favorite openers. A spectator draws any card thought of on a blank card. Suddenly the blank deck from which the card was originally taken becomes fully printed and the spectator's hand-drawn card lays between card with the same suit and same value.
My Favorite Things. You show a selection of coins, and your helper examines then selects one. Similarly, she selects a playing card and signs its face. Why is the coin your "favorite"? When turned over, it now bears a mini version of the selected card ... along with the spectator's signature!
My Birthday Card. A self-working take on the classic "diary effect" made much more personal. And funny!
Plus, a section on some great subtleties and "pro-tips," and several of Mike's favorite non-move moves!

Great for dogs
Color: blue
My dog is obsessed with this! I put plain yogurt thinned with homemade broth in it and he’s entertained for a good 15 minutes, as well as being fairly calm afterward.

Good for Chewers
Theme: Football, Size: Large
Dogs love it, they been chewing on it and it's like new. Also I put treats inside and they really like that. I have a small pit mix and a puppy shepherd husky mutt. They play tug of war with it and it's holding up really good.

Great inside toy
Theme: Football, Size: Large
Our Rottie loves these! I wanted something like the Jolly Ball but that is soft for inside the house. She's had a lot of fun with this, picking it up, tossing it, playing soccer, etc.

A BIG hit with my BIG dog!
Theme: Football, Size: Large
My Great Dane/Boxer mix LOVES this toy. She is over 100 lbs and very strong. She got a hold of my son's real football last year and after she made the initial holes and deflated it we just let her have it. She completely ripped it to shreds in about 7 months but had such a blast tossing it around and galloping around the yard with it, I knew I had to replace it with something of the same shape but hopefully more durable. This is it! She really adores this. We play catch and tug with it and it seems like it's going to last a really long time. The rubber is flexible but strong. I'll try to get a picture of her with it and load it. I highly recommend this toy. We ordered the Large size, by the way. :-)
2-6-2015 - Update: I am just now ordering a new one. For nearly 4 years, the old one has been kept outside in the rain, sun, snow, and ice. She still loves to grab it, shake it, throw it up in the air and play tug with whenever she's outside. The rubber is just now starting to crack so it's time for a new one.

Holding up very well, favorite
Theme: Football, Size: Large, Theme: Football, Size: Large
A few weeks ago I ordered three dog toys for my dogs. I have a German shepherd, Lab mix and a medium mix. The latter boy is the biggest destroyer in our family, he chewed pieces of a black Kong.
I did not really have high hopes for this football shaped toy with holes, but it is holding up beyond my expectations. You can see some teeth marks, but they are not chewing it up (yet?). They love to play tug with this, kick it around by themselves, or lie down with it and chew on it. I like it because it is a soft rubber and doesn't make so much noise when they throw it around on my hard flooring. For the price, they are definitely getting a whole lot of fun out of it.
Edit: Now, more than a month later, my dog managed to get a small piece off after a heavy chew session. After that first piece apparently it is easy to get more off, and he wants to swallow it so the ball is in the trash.
