• MAGICAL POTIONS
  Philtre.... a form of a Magickal Charm... a concoction of herbs and and extracts of or excretions of animals including animal parts.
  More intense forms of this practice were used in Alchemy.
  Sorcerers, Witches, Evil and Good doers of the Occult Arts engaging in the art of Magickal Potions.
  Intended use being to cause Love or Lust of one they desire, or perhaps make one fall asleep or maybe even bring the end to ones life. One can easily visualize the Being standing by the Cauldron mixing away the brew to is soon to slew.
  
  We have seen it all in the movies over exaggerated by the ugly as hell Witch. But is has been quite a common practice among those whom truly dwell in the Occult Arts and wish to manipulate others for their own devilish reasons.
  So for some it may be a poison for the soul and drink of Death and for others the magical sexual potion to meet our Lustful Desires. For me the Magickal Potion is Red Bull or Monster Energy Drinks. For me it has changed my life in new ways. For in the morning it is the way to bring the dead back to life. Then again when Night Time falls.... Red Bull and Yegermiester brings out the Beast.
  Any type of mixture that can alter your life or vision can be considered a potion.
  I myself mix potions in the candles I make to give them the Magick they need. Here, I had given two samples of Magical Potions.

• Here comes some of the Famous 'DAVID BLANE' tricks! Enjoy!
  
  DAVID BLANE - REVEALED
  
  David Blane Style Voodoo Ash Trick:
  
  Effect: The spectator writes a name on a page in a notepad. The spectator then tears out the page, crumples it up and places it in an ashtray. The paper is set alight and the magician then rubs the ashes on his arm, on which the name written by the spectator, mysteriously appears.
  
  Preparation: You will need a small notepad, pen, ashtray, lighter and a small piece of soap or wax.
  
  Method: The spectator is asked to write either a name or favourite anything of their choice on a notepad. They are then asked to tear out the page, crumple it up and place it in the ashtray. The magician then sets the paper alight. At this point the magician should take the notepad from the spectator. If looked at closely, it should be possible to see an imprint of the spectators written word on the top page of the notepad. ( It should not be made obvious that the magician has been looking at the notepad..) Then subtely, perhaps by using a little misdirection, the word should be written on the magicians arm by himself using the soft soap or wax. ( Again, this action should not be visible or obvious to anyone.)
  
  The magician can then take some of the ashes and rub them on his arm where the ash will stick to the soap or wax and the name become visible to the astonishment of the audience.
  
  This is a great trick but depends o the magician creating an atmosphere with an entertaining routine and patter about black magic to enhance the trick and create misdirection to allow himself an opportunity to pull off the trick.
  
  Coffee To Coins David Blaine Style Trick:
  
  David Blaine changed a cup full of coffee to a cup full of coins on his TV show
  
  Set up: Get one of those coffee machine dispensed cups made of waxed paper and preferably with a pattern on the outside. Remove the bottom of the cup about an inch up from the bottom with a modelling knife or scissors and then place the cup back together by gently sliding the top half of the cup into the base using a slight twisting action if needed. Stack the cup three quarters full with coins.Pack the coins in tightly and then pour in a little cold coffee, enough to cover the coins completely. Coffee works best because it's so dark and will hide the coins. The cup should now look like a normal cup of coffee and is now ready to present to an audience.
  
  Performance: Comment on how the patterns on the side of the cup are magic symbols. Holding the top half of the cup with one hand, gently push up the bottom half of the cup with a slight screwing action with your other hand, then shake the cup. As the coins "unsettle" the coffee will spill between the cracks and the coins appear. This trick can be done with any cup of the waxed paper type that are usually found in vending machines. Be careful not to use hot coffee. Take care when using the modelling knife as it is sharp, even better, if your a kid, get an adult to cut it for you.
