The 19 Effects of Magic

1. Production: (Appearance, creation, multiplication) The production of a person or an object where nothing appeared before. Something is caused to come into view without apparent clue as to the source.

2. Vanish: (Disappearance, obliteration) The cause of something to pass from sight by unnatural means. [Unnatural meaning that the audience didn’t see you put the object away, you just opened your hand and it was gone.] The reverse of Production.

3. Transposition: (Change in locations) Invisible change in location of a person or an object from one place to another.

4. Transformation: (Change in appearance, character or identity) A person or object changes identity, color size, shape, character, etc.

5. Penetration: (One solid through another) The solid matter of one person or object or thing penetrates the solid matter of another person, object or thing.

6. Restoration: (Making the destroyed whole) The subject of the effect is wholly or partially destroyed and subsequently restored to its original condition.

7. Animation: (Movement imparted to the inanimate) An inanimate object is mysteriously endowed with movement.

8. Anti-Gravity: (levitation and change in weight) The person or thing reacts contrary to the laws of gravity.

9. Attraction: (Mysterious adhesion) Through some mysterious power the magician becomes, or causes something or someone else to become endowed with a power resembling magnetism.

10. Sympathetic Reaction: (Sympathetic response) A reaction of two or more persons, objects or persons and objects, showing sympathetic accord in harmony one with the other.

11. Invulnerability: (Injury proof) Demonstrations of resistance or proof against injury.

12. Physical Anomaly: (Contradictions, abnormalities, freaks) Exceptions or contradiction to normal physical rules or reactions.

13. Spectator Failure: (Magicians challenge) This includes all tricks where a spectator is unable to accomplish some apparently simple objective, implying the intervention of some mysterious power of the magician.

14. Control: (Mind over the inanimate) All effects where the mind of the performer seems to dominate, whether the subject be animate or inanimate.

15. Identification: (Specific discovery) Here discovery of an identity, regardless of the method of disclosure, is essential.

16. Thought Reading: (Mental perception, mind reading) In this division the essential is that the performer apparently reads the thought of another.

17. Thought Transmission: (Thought projections and transference) The essential is the projection of thought. In the former effect, another’s mind is "read". In this effect, one person projects his/her thoughts to another.

18. Prediction: (Foretelling the future) This includes all tricks where the future is foretold.

19. Extra-Sensory Perception [ESP]: (Unusual perception, other than mind) This classification is intended to include all types of abnormal perception other than through mental communications. [Magician holds spectators ring and reveals truths about the spectators past…something of that nature.]

**20. Skill. (Not included in list) This is not essentially a magical effect. This is a sensational demonstration of special training or the impression of special training. It is one of special training not one of mystery as to the method of accomplishment. [Flourishes, gambling demonstrations.]
