This highly acclaimed digital download serves up a feast of innovative routines and concepts, perfected over years of real-world performance.

Learn the secrets behind effects that astonish audiences and elevate your magical presence.
Unleash Groundbreaking Card Miracles
Unleash the groundbreaking 'Bullet Concept', a versatile discovery that allows a hole to appear in a freely selected, signed card. This isn't just one trick; it's a powerful principle with three incredible presentations included: 'Shot to the Heart' (a signed card with a bullet hole appears in your pocket), 'Card on Ceiling' (a signed, bullet-holed card defies gravity), and 'Target Practice' (a signed card with a bullet hole sticks to a target). These aren't just visual marvels; they're audience-tested routines designed for maximum impact and minimal fuss, often requiring no palming or complex setups. Also learn 'Roaming Card', a totally impromptu card across, anytime, anywhere!
Ingenious Ring & Coin Wizardry
Beyond cards, 'Menu of Miracles Vol. 3' delves into stunning ring and coin magic. Witness the ingenuity of 'Ready Teddy Go!', where a borrowed finger ring vanishes and reappears attached to a charming teddy bear keyring, fully examinable by the spectator. For coin enthusiasts, 'Coin Kebab' offers a real worker's delight: a spectator's chosen coin appears to have a kebab stick pushed clean through it, then can be handed out or returned intact. These effects combine visual impossibility with engaging presentations, making them perfect for close-up settings.
Diverse Effects & Expert Insights
Explore a range of other captivating routines. 'Strike Three!' presents a sophisticated three-mini baseball routine culminating in a surprising crystal ball transformation. 'Bleached Deck' offers a clean, examinable vanishing deck effect where the chosen card is found elsewhere, all without faked cards. Discover James Prince's unique adaptation for the 'JP Jennings Wallet', allowing effortless loading of various objects. Plus, a significant upgrade to his classic 'Pepper Pot' routine and a detailed teach-in of his 'JP/Erdnase DPS' provide invaluable insights for advanced practitioners.

The Bullet Concept
Have a hole appear in a freely selected, SIGNED card This is not a stand alone effect; it is a discovery that can be applied to your own presentations James Prince has worked with this, in the field for years. From now on so can you! Three presentations included on the DVD:
- Shot to the heart: A freely selected card is signed and placed back inside the deck. The magician takes an invisible gun from his jacket and asks the spectator to fire at the cards that he's holding. The magician now says that the card has been shot out of the deck and through into his breast pocket. To prove it, the magician cleanly, with no palming, reaches inside and takes their SIGNED card out complete with bullet hole!
- Card on Ceiling: A card is freely selected and placed back inside the deck. Once again the magician asks the spectator to hold and invisible gun and to fire it as he throws the deck into the air. On the count of three, the cards are tossed high into the air hitting the ceiling above, leaving one card stuck to the ceiling as the rest of the deck fall to the floor. Looking up, they see that not only is it the SIGNED card, but it also now has a bullet hole right thru it!
- Target Practice: A card is freely chosen and shuffled back into the deck. The cards are now placed into their box as the magician removes a target from his pocket. Sticking the card case to the target, the spectator is asked to fire an invisible gun at the card box as the magician holds it up, attached to the target. Suddenly the card case drops to the floor leaving their SIGNED card stuck to the target complete with a bullet hole right thru it!
