Alan Fisher – I.B.M. JAM – The Nonsensical Ravings of a Lunatic Mind

Thanks for attending my talk at the IBM JAM and your interest in the freebies I mentioned. On this page you can download all of them in a single Zip file. I also mention a few of the items that I normally sell at my regular lecture. Contact me at the email address listed below if you’re interested in any of them (payment through PayPal). In the ZIP file you’ll the following goodies:

Color of Numbers
This is the sample copy of my Color of Numbers effect. I would suggest you laminate it after printing if you’re going to use more than a few times. Cut out of the chart at the top of the page and the individual color cards at the bottom. The prediction color is printed in the lower right-hand corner of the page. If you like the effect and you’re interested in either the parlor version (11 x 17) or the close-up packet version they’re available for $20 each. Send me an e-mail and we’ll work out the details.

Color of Numbers Instructions
These are the instructions for performing the Color of Numbers effect.

Counting on History Sample
This is the ‘Preamble to The Constitution’ version of my Counting on History effect. If you want to try it, unless you have a large format printer (11 x 17 or ledger size), you’ll need to send the PDF to someplace like Staples or OfficeMax to have it printed on cardstock (and laminated). I have other versions available (part of ‘Liberty or Death’ speech by Patrick Henry, part of ‘Ask Not’ speech by John F. Kennedy, end of ‘I Have A Dream’ speech by Martin Luther King, Jr, and others plus various Bible verses) priced at $20 to $25 each. I can also take your submitted text and create a Counting On version tailored just for your library or school program for $40. Send me an e-mail and we’ll work out the details.

The Preamble Sets the Stage for the Constitution
I’m also giving you the notes about the Constitution’s Preamble that I used for putting together my script for this version of Counting on History. Use it as a starting point for creating your own script.

Houdini Paper Escape
My version of the ‘Bi-Kolor-Kut’ effect created by Stewart Judah and Leslie Guest with a Houdini theme. The instructions for folding and cutting are at the bottom of this page. Just cut out the chart at the top and you’re ready to go.

Truly Impromptu Book Test
The full instructions for performing my version of the Himber Book test by Richard Himber (originally published in Tarbell 4). You get my presentation and a very detailed explanation of the methodology.

Truly Impromptu Book Test Math
To help you understand the math involved in the calculating the Magician’s page and Volunteer’s page range based on the Revelation page, I’ve created this chart that lists every set of outcomes for all Revelations pages possible from 1 through 99.

TV Holiday Magic
This is the bonus effect I showed using the pictures from the 6 TV holiday specials. The PDF contains 4 pages you need to print on cardstock. You’ll need to set your printer to duplex printing (front & back). The first 2 pages in the file go on the front & back of cardstock sheet number 1. The 3rd and 4th page in the file go on the front & back of cardstock sheet number 2. I suggest you laminate the sheet if you plan to do this effect more than once or twice.

TV Holiday Magic Instructions
This is the instructions for performing the TV holiday specials. I’ve included the background comments on each show that I mentioned in my performance. Use them as a starting point for developing your own script.

Buddha Papers for Magician’s Apprentices
In the lecture I demonstrated my version of ‘The Buddha Papers’ (where the rabbit appears & disappears from the top hat plus can be shown to have reappeared in your pocket or anywhere else) that can be used for teaching magic to children or as an up-sale for your kid’s shows. A similar design is easy enough to create yourself using your likeness or logo and I strongly recommend you do it. That way the kids are walking billboards for your act. But if you’d rather just buy mine, I sell the PDF for $5. Send me an e-mail and we’ll work out the details.

Thanks again for spending some time with me. I hope you enjoyed the talk and got something out of it. Please keep in touch. I’d love to have my Inbox flooded with mail from new friends. And don’t forget to like and follow me on Facebook.
