Challenge Magic - 20 Anniversary Edition DVD

$24.95
Richard Osterlind's Challenge Magic, first released in 1990, was a landmark video in many ways. In addition to being
twice as long as most magic videos of the day, it was also much less expensive. It set the trend for reasonablypriced instructional videos for the magic and mentalism fraternities.
Now, after 20 years, Challenge Magic is being re-released in DVD format, digitally enhanced and chaptered for ease
in navigation. Although much of this material was revisited by Richard in later releases, this recording still has a
wonderful freshness and features a number of certain handlings that are unique and can be found nowhere else. Not
only is this recording a classic piece of long-unavailable magic history, but it contains some of the finest close-up and
stage magic and mentalism ever released. Now you can own the special 20th Anniversary edition at a very special
price.
Featured effects include:
INSIDE OUT - A dollar bill turns itself inside out right at the tips of your fingers, 4 times! The effect is stunning and
this DVD is the only place it can be found. This, alone, is worth the price of the whole recording!
SWEET AND LOW This is Richard's classic routine that has been in the repertoires of top magicians for over 20
years! This is the original recording that started it all and the original handling which is performed only here.
VIEWED ESP PREDICTION This is one of the few predictions in history where the audience can see it coming
true! Larry Becker raved about this one!
PREDICT-TAC-TOE Although Richard featured a later version of this effect on his Mind Mysteries series, this first
version may be the strongest of any! Not only is the game itself predicted, but much more! This is a winner you will
use all the time.
MIRACLE FLYING CARDS See this famous routine performed right under the noses of the spectators in a close-

up scenario! This recording is the only place you will see it done like this!
OUT OF HAND - This was the first, and still the best, version of the 6 card repeat using a poker theme for the entire
presentation! Not only is the effect the best, but every move is entirely logical and, on top of all that, it is the easiest
to do! You won't believe how clean this looks!
LINKING FINGER RINGS See this routine actually performed for a real paying audience! And then see the most
clear and concise instructions ever for its faultless performance!
COIN IN THE BOTTLE Many have questioned how effective Richard's version is. Now you can see it performed
live at a Tannen's Jubilee. You will see some of the top magicians of all time, such as The Amazing Randi and
Timothy Wenk, completely astounded by this!
ULTRA BOARD This is the only place you can see Richard's incredible one-on-one handling of the Ultra Board!
This is possibly the most visible, direct and impressive prediction ever! It's like a stage size swami and can be seen
performed only here! If you own an Ultra Board, you can do this!
GLASS OF WATER PRODUCTION (performance only) Again, this is something you can only see here! The
classic routine is streamlined and the huge glass is produced from a bag the size of a normal shopping bag! It
looks incredible and is easily worth the 20 dollars alone to see this miracle performed!
BREAKTHROUGH CARD SYSTEM For those who use the system, this explains Richard's shortcuts for working
the math at an amazing speed. Although this material was revisited in later books and videos, to see Richard explain
it firsthand is priceless!
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH LINK This routine will make you want to run out and find a spring! Richard shows so
many variations of his pet effect that it quickly moves from the realm of a puzzle to an amazing piece of magic! This
is the only place to see all of the amazing moves developed performed by Richard!
CARD PRODUCTION Again, this is worth the price of the whole DVD! This card production looks sensational! It
can be done, anytime and anywhere with a normal deck of cards! It looks so good you would think it would take
years of practice, but anyone can learn it in one evening!
RADAR DECK See the original routine where only one question is asked! For those who know Richard's effect,
this will open up a whole new insight into this classic.
STAINLESS STEEL BLINDFOLD This shows an entirely new way to perform a blindfold routine where the climax
comes after the blindfold is removed! It is modern, direct and streamlined for maximum impact!

Easy To Master Mental Miracles

$110.00
READING MINDS HAS NEVER BEEN THIS EASY
In this exciting video event, Richard Osterlind, one of the world's top mentalists, opens the vaults and reveals the
inner workings of some of the best mentalism ever created. Not self-working, but by no means difficult to do, these
classic effects already make up the repertoires of some of the finest mentalists working today.
Richard Osterlind has combed the vast literature of mentalism to find the strongest mentalism and mental magic
effects ever created by past and present masters of the art and each will astound even the most sophisticated
audience.
Watch Richard perform them all before an astonished live audience and then go behind the scenes as he, along with
Jim Sisti, explains the diabolical methods. Combined with Super Practice Sessions and the Real Secrets of what
makes these effects work, this series is destined to become a classic resource for those seeking to learn the art of
mentalism.

VOLUME 1
SWAMI OPENER (Corinda): The performer enters holding a business card. A spectator calls out a two-digit
number. That number is predicted on the business card! This is a perfect opener guaranteed to catch the attention of
the audience.
MAGIC VS. MINDREADING (Annemann): The performer causes a deck of cards to spell to a mentally chosen card,
then shows a remarkable coincidence with a second deck and finally shows the card was actually predicted long
before the show!
A QUESTION AND THE ANSWER (Annemann): One of Theo Annemann's greatest routines! The mentalist
answers a secret question in the most direct manner possible! This is a monster effect using only a pencil and a few
pieces of paper!
EXTRA-SENSORY PERCEPTION (Annemann): You can duplicate chosen designs in the fairest possible way using
this classic method! Make this up in just half an hour!
A WORD IN THOUSANDS (Koran): A spectator chooses any word from any page in a huge book. Without any
pumping the mentalist reveals the chosen word on the back of a blackboard! This mind-boggling effect is fully
explained along with complete directions for the construction of the apparatus!
EL NUMERO (Bergson): Using a few index cards and an envelope, the mentalist causes a spectator to choose the
very number he has predicted on the back of the envelope. This is direct, simple and awesome - the fairest version
of this effect yet!
SYD BERGSON CENTER READ (Bergson): This utility technique will enable you to gain any information written on
an index card without any tearing or burning. Osterlind's touches make this a masterpiece!
TELEPHONE DIRECTORY (Tong): Anyone freely chooses a page in a legitimate telephone directory. The mentalist
reads his mind and writes down the telephone number the person is thinking of! This is clean, clear and direct!
SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE (Annemann): This is the original (and best!) version of the classic effect. Only one
key out of seven opens a lock. Audience members freely choose the keys and the mentalist determines who has the
right key! Both the lock and keys are legitimate!
MARKED THOUGHT (Mason): The mentalist causes a spectator to find the only matching pairs of ESP symbols
while they are face down. This method allows for a completely free choice and an ordinary deck of ESP cards!

VOLUME 2
MAGIC MEDALLION (Koran): Three spectators call out a single digit number. The mentalist removes a case with a
medallion inside and shows the number to be inscribed on the back! Osterlind considers this one of the strongest
effects in all of mentalism!
FIVE STAR PREDICTION (Koran): This has to be the strongest mentalism card effect ever created! The mentalist
shows an envelope containing one card. The spectator deals cards face up from a deck and stops whenever he
wants. A duplicate of that card is found inside the envelope!
CLIP LINE (Spackman): This mind-blower is a classic piece of mentalism. A spectator tells the mentalist when to cut
a news column. Although every line is different, the exact words at the spot the paper was cut is predicted! You can
make this masterpiece up in minutes!
HOY BOOK TEST (Hoy): David Hoy's classic book test is fully explained with Osterlind's handling secrets that make
the working simple and fool proof. You can read the spectator's mind with ungimmicked, borrowed books!
BLINDFOLD ROUTINE (Classic/Gann): Richard demonstrates the classic blindfold routine with professional
touches learned from the late Ronnie Gann. This is one of the best blindfold acts and uses nothing but household
articles.
FLIP FLOP FLUSH (Becker): This delightful routine by Larry Becker allows you to let a spectator choose a poker
hand from a face-up deck while your hand is determined by chance. Still, you end up with a Royal Straight Flush in
Spades! An ungimmicked deck is all that is necessary.

ULTIMATE MATRIX (Becker): Another routine by Larry Becker has an apparent mistake turn into a great climax.
Freely chosen cards form numbers which open a locked combination lock that is trapping the spectators' borrowed
finger rings!
THE TRICK THAT FOOLED EINSTEIN (Koran): The mentalist predicts the amount of money a spectator removes
from a bowl of coins. This is repeated a second time under even fairer conditions. You will marvel at the ingenuity of
this!
MENTAL NUMBERS (Dalban): Vincent Dalban created this wonderful effect where the mentalist reads the minds of
two spectators at the same time! The number cards can be made up from normal index or business cards in
minutes.
HEADLINE PREDICTION (Koran): This effect is a killer! The mentalist tears an ordinary sheet of paper into sixteen
pieces. A spectator chooses a piece and a headline. The information is found already predicted in a sealed
envelope!

VOLUME 3
PAR-OPTIC VISION (Annemann): A spectator pockets three cards from a deck in his possession. Even though he
is thoroughly blindfolded, the mentalist names the cards as they are withdrawn. This card masterpiece is
unbelievable!
FOURTH DIMENSIONAL TELEPATHY (Annemann): This classic routine allows you to read the minds of three
assistants who have written information on papers and sealed them in envelopes themselves. No special apparatus
is needed for this incredibly fair routine!
THE THIRD CHOICE (Corinda): Five ESP cards are shown all different and sealed in fair envelopes. Still, the
mentalist cleanly predicts which one will be chosen. The secret is simple and diabolical!
LOCKED EYE TEST (Classic): The mentalist locks the eyes of a spectator! Osterlind shows how to make this
foolproof.
LOCKED HANDS TEST (Classic): A continuation of the above in which the mentalist causes all the spectators'
hands to become locked! Again, this is a foolproof method!
THE ABNORMAL LIFT (Classic): If you have never seen this before, you are in for a treat! Four spectators are able
to lift a fifth with nothing but their fingertips! This astounding routine is one of the highlights of the series!
TERVIL (Meyers): In this bold routine, the mentalist makes a prediction and lays it aside. A spectator writes down a
number, a color and a name. The performer's slip is read and he is exactly right! Osterlind shows you how to make
this routine work.
IMPROMPTU BOOK TEST (Corinda): This delightfully simple routine will enable you to perform a book test that is
second to none. The book is ungimmicked and borrowed and the gimmick is something you have in your pocket right
now!
SLATE WRITING (Classic): A spectator thinks of the name of a departed individual. The mentalist shows both sides
of two ungimmicked slates and numbers each side. A piece of chalk vanishes and the name appears on the slates!
This routine was one of the highlights of the video shoot!
LIVING AND DEAD (Corinda): The classic routine is demonstrated using the simplest of methods. Not only is this a
wonderful routine, but it will enable you to learn the use of a valuable tool in mentalism!
ENCORE CARD STABBING (Koran): This was Al Koran's encore closer! The mate of a pocketed playing card is
found in a daring way with a knife! The routine is as simple as they come.

VOLUME 4
ACIDUS PLUS (Mann): This is one of Al Mann's finest creations. Nothing but an index card is used to read the
spectator's mind three times! You will marvel at the incredible, fair-looking method.
MAGAZINE TEST (Annemann): You will be able to read the minds of your audience in a straightforward way with

the simple preparation in this test. You can name pictures, words and even whole lines with this method!
PATEO FORCE (Classic): The mentalist makes a prediction. Spectators place objects on the table and all but one
are eliminated. The prediction is shown and it matches! This wonderful principle can be used in many different ways.
PSEUDO PSYCHOMETRY (Annemann): Members of the audience seal personal objects in envelopes. The
mentalist gives a reading for each spectator and returns each object to the proper person. Many consider this to be
the greatest effect in mentalism! Richard demonstrates the original method with a wonderful update.
PREDICT-TAC-TOE (Gardner/Thompson/Osterlind): This wonderful routine allows the mentalist to predict the
outcome of a game of tic-tac-toe. Richard's ending will delight you!
SYNONYMENTAL (Mellon): Twenty-one cards are shown to each have a different object on them. Spectators place
objects on three cards. These cards are shown to name those very objects!
ORIGINAL CENTER TEAR (Corinda): Richard demonstrates how the original center tear method is still a very
viable tool. A very clever idea will enable you to do this anywhere!
VIEWED ESP PREDICTION (Osterlind): Richard's own ESP card effect where the spectators can see the assistant
matching the mentalist's prediction as it is being fulfilled! Nothing is required but a normal deck of ESP cards.
SPOON BENDING (Harris): A classic method of bending a spoon that can be performed while your hands are being
burned! You will use this all the time.
KEY BENDING (Classic): Bend keys just like Uri Geller with this easy and sure-fire method!
PHANTOM ARTIST (Annemann): One of Theo Annemann's forgotten miracles! A spectator freely chooses the
name of a president. The mentalist cuts out a perfect silhouette of the chosen president!

entertaining opener. He proves that magic and mentalism can be mixed effectively in a
performance to win over the audiences approval!
Spoon Bend Here Richard segues into some of his classic spoon bending techniques to set
a more serious tone for the performance. Watch how strong this routine plays for a lay
audience!

Mental Epic Richard uses the standard Mental Epic effect with the Ronnie Gann finish,
showing how strong classic mentalism can be. Then, he destroys the audience with his own
double-climax ending!
Par-Optic Vision This is the routine with Richards Dynamo Deck that recently wowed
Internet audiences. A spectator draws cards Richard names out of his own pocket! It looks
totally impossible!
Q & A Act If ever there was a routine that proves you can read minds, this is it! The
classic Dunninger routine is presented by Richard with a few modern updates.
The Addition Effect Richard does the classic Add-a-Number effect using ordinary articles.

climax! The audience loves it!
Disc 2 - Stage Show Encore and After-Show Party
Linking Finger Rings Richard chose to re-visit his classic handling of this effect for the
encore of his show. Watch the stunned looks on the spectators faces when they see their
own wedding rings linked together!

using nothing but three index cards. The handling and effect is everything you could want in
a close-up routine!
iCornelius Richard uses a borrowed iPhone to reproduce the addition effect he performed
on stage. If anything, the effect here is even stronger!
Dr. Sacks Dice Routine Again, Richard shows that a mystery performer can effectively
mix magic and mentalism in a show. Here he performs the classic Sacks Dice Routine while
completely surrounded by astonished spectators!
Double Penny Bend (performance only) Richard closes the after-show party with his now
famous penny bend done two times! The camera is only inches away from Richard as he
bends two borrowed pennies at his fingertips!
Disc 3 - Casino Concourse
Spoon Bend Again Richard uses his spoon bending expertise to not only astound passersby, but to also draw crowds over to watch him! See the professional way to handle this type
of performance!

Dynamo Radar Deck Richard recreates his classic Radar Deck effect with his new Dynamo
Deck. See how this new prop can handle situations even when spectators make mistakes
with their cards!
Dynamo Deck: 3 Cards A spectator freely chooses three cards from a deck. Richard
names a card and the spectator somehow grabs the right one from his pocket! This is
repeated three timesand its freaky!
Spear-It Knife Richard takes a forgotten classic out of Tarbell, Harrisons Knife through
Coat, and streamlines it for a modern audience. If you dont already know the secret of this
effect, when you watch it, it will stagger you!
Center Tear Richard performs his famous Perfected Center Tear over and over again to
amazed and dazzled people just passing by in the casino. See why this is one of his most
cherished secrets!
Chronologue For years, Collectors Workshop has been including Richards personal
routine for the Bob Cassidy effect, Chronologue. Now you can see how it plays for an
innocent bystander in the casino!
Swami Effects Richard uses the Swami Gimmick in a variety of ways to guess peoples
birthdays, read their minds, and predict their thoughts. These clips show why this little
gimmick is, perhaps, the most important one in mentalism.
Hypnotic Hands (performance only) Watch Richard use his powers of suggestion to fasten
a teenagers hands together, creating screams of delight! Although not explained, watching
this routine will teach anyone the right way to make hypnotic suggestions.

routines, many of which are right out of his professional act.

Richard Osterlind does - sharing not only the methods, but the fine details, of the powerhouse effects he's been

endear you to any audience. A great opener for any act!

can be done in slow motion and completely surrounded. You rip up the paper...and return all of the pieces!
Radar Deck - Four spectators just think of a card and the performer names them all! The full workings and neverbefore-disclosed handling tips are here, including instructions on how to make your own Radar Deck.
Watch Routine - One spectator thinks of a time while another turns the hands of a face-down watch. When the
watch is turned over, it's found to display the first spectator's thought-of time. Perform this miracle anywhere,
anytimeand with any watch!
Thought Scan - Osterlind's version of the classic Q&A routine is an act in itself. If one could actually read minds, it
would look like this!
Magazine Test - In this never-before-released miracle, the performer predicts the word a spectator will circle on a
freely-selected page in a magazine. This was the finale for Richard Osterlind's act for many years.
Linking Finger Rings- Wedding bands borrowed from three spectators are linked together in the fairest manner
possible. This routine has been called the very best version of this classic effect ever conceived and this is the
clearest and most-detailed explanation of the real work.

Volume Two - The Osterlind Breakthrough Card System

In this volume of Richard Osterlind's landmark video series, he shares perhaps his greatest contribution to magic and
mentalism - the Breakthrough Card System, considered by many to be the most ingenious playing card stack ever
devised. The spectators could look at the cards for hours and never discover its devilish secret and, for the first time,
Richard Osterlind, along with host Jim Sisti, shares twenty years of effects, performance tips, ideas and shortcuts
with his inspired creation.
Card Calling - A group of cards are removed from a shuffled jumbo-sized deck and the performer names them all.
This effect, one that will play to the largest audience, has been a staple in Osterlind's stage show for over two
decades.
Two Cards in Pocket - A spectator places two cards in his pockets from a deck he's been mixing. Not only does the
performer name them but also divines which one is in which pocket. This is a true killer!
Challenge Mind Reading - A thought-of card is named without the performer ever touching the deck. Quite possibly
the most impossible-looking card trick ever!
Corinda Effect - The performer names a card that was reversed in the deck by a spectator while he was holding the
deck underneath the table. This is the trick that started it all!
Blackjack Demonstration - Your spectators will be convinced that you are the greatest blackjack player ever! You
not only know their hole card but also instruct them, quite successfully, on how to play their hands!

Volume Three - Assorted Mysteries

In the third volume of this groundbreaking video series, Richard Osterlind shares some of his most treasured Mind
Mysteries. There are impromptu miracles to perform for friends at the dinner table along with more elaborate pieces
suitable for large stage audiences. Watch him as he baffles a live audience and then go behind the scenes as
Osterlind, along with host Jim Sisti, shows you how it's all done.
Sweeter and Lower - Osterlind updates his classic "Sweet and Low" effect. A signed packet of sweetener is torn
and restored under extremely fair conditions.
Change of Mind - This novel routine allows you to predict the coins that spectators will remove from their pockets.
Complete instructions are given for making the ingenious gimmick and Osterlind supplies handlings for both close-up
and stage.

Spoon Bending - Learn how Richard Osterlind bends spoons in the fairest and most visual way. A knockout
technique that amazes audiences.
Radio Sum Total - Osterlind's version of Larry Becker's basic effect where the audience forms the problem to a
mathematical answer that's already on display. Suitable for a live audience and even more amazing to perform on
the radio!
Uncanny - An ordinary playing card slowly turns over by itself to reveal it's the thought-of card. No threads, magnets
or other gimmicks are used!
Lottery Effect - The performer predicts the winning lottery number that three spectators freely form.
Cell Phone Effect - An audience member with a cell phone calls anyone they know and asks them to select a
number. It matches the performer's prediction.
Bill in Cigarette - A spectator's signed bill is destroyed and found inside a borrowed cigarette. An incredibly easy
and astounding way to perform this classic effect.

Volume Four - More Assorted Mysteries

In this final volume of his amazing video series, Richard Osterlind performs some of his most well-known routines in
addition to some new, astounding effects that have never been revealed before. You'll see how strong this material is
in front of a live audience and then you'll go behind the scenes as Osterlind, along with host Jim Sisti, shows you
how it's all done.
