Magicians of all abilities and experience will get something from the myriad of Tricks and illusions contained within this, my latest book! From a little-known gimmick and utility item, (The Miracle Card Gimmick) which will enable you to completely and easily vanish a selected card from the pack, to Double Indemnity, an original and invisible device that will cleanly make you look like a card pro so that you can cut to the four aces without thinking, as well as secretly keeping track of a spectator's selected card! Some of my previously published effects (in magicians' trade journals) such as Clipped, and The Curry Open Prediction, (which will easily have you match your prediction to a spectator's freely-selected card) are also here! I've included the method for the Miniature Rising Card, (Haunted, Floating Mini) which like a possessed mini-pack, wriggles and jiggles, then flips over and stands up, releasing a selected-card from within the box, which may be performed close-up and/or for platform-work, as well as a sophisticated double-pack/order-matching effect, called Sympathetic Clubs, also suitable for the now-popular platform venues. Everything is well-illustrated with photos.
Of course, I've included invaluable and practical observations as well, which magicians of all ages will find useful, or as crucial reminders for those who already have gone down the road of being professional, working magicians.
You'll LOVE my forty years of experience, crammed into this hardcover, and paperback book, containing magic that YOU WILL DO! Available from Amazon...

Click on the cover to see the HARDCOVER version on AMAZON
In this detailed treatise, Dr. Michael shares crucial method and tools for relaxation and personal development, such as meditation and tai chi. He then outlines how self-development, metaphysics, and mysticism will help you improve your stage-presence and add a depth to your performances.Dr. Michael (Magic Mike) Likey, D.D., Ph.D., PsyTh.D., MMC is a Member of The Magic Circle, The Society of American Magicians, and The International Brotherhood of Magicians. He is also a Member of The International Metaphysical Ministry, The American Metaphysical Doctors Association, and The Association of Ethical and Professional Hypnotherapists. He is also a Member of The Paranormal Investigation Committee. He is the Author of more than 60 self-help and magic paperback books, and teaches magic. He also produces webcasts and podcasts on performance magic.
From the Foreword by Dr. Anthony Darkstone:
"I felt it was a Herculean task to endeavour to convey the fact that this book was required reading for everyone who was a Magical Entertainer- both Professional & Hobbyist.
This work is based on decades of empirical experience by the Author who is not only a consummate Performer but someone who is well-versed in all Genres of Magic and indeed for all types of audiences.
It focuses not only on the performing character, the marketing of the Product that is the performer but also on the often ignored preparation that goes into becoming a Performer.
Using Ancient techniques that excellently illustrates his experience in Tai Chi, Music, Character creation, Producing, Directing, TV Shows and a myriad of allied functions Dr. Michael Likey explores and breaks down in simple, yet profound techniques that the Performing persona requires in the performance of Magic. Nothing in the book is superfluous and every facet makes it not only a fascinating read but is stimulating enough to rank it among some of the excellent books on The Art. It would not be amiss to rate this as a superb reference work and one that every serious Performer will consult several times.
The book, as one turns each page, provides the stimulating question as to whether we are drawn to the realms of Magic & Mystery or does the esoteric nature of The Art draw us unto itself. It reinforces the fact that Magicians are a different species to all others in The Performing Arts.
An Ancient Taoist philosophy states, “Seek not to find the answers but to understand the questions”. This book is a clear signpost towards the acquisition of that understanding."

Magic Mike Likey-Clipped: A Modern-Day Miracle
An original magic-effect by Dr. (Magic Mike) Likey! A spectator freely and fairly selects a card by randomly dealing cards off a face-down pack held by them. When they are ready, they stop dealing, and without looking at the card, they hand it to the magician who clips it to a larger jumbo-playing card. In one version, the larger card is face-up, revealing in advance the magician's prediction; in another version, the jumbo-card is back-up, with the prediction hidden. In any case, the spectator's freely selected card (which is clipped to the jumbo-card to avoid any shenanigans) is seen to match the jumbo prediction-card! A modern-day miracle indeed! Totally mechanical and easy to do; the special gimmick does all the work for you so you can concentrate on the presentation! Both versions of this effect are included.

Imagine that you and a spectator do the impossible: Each of you has half a pack of cards and each of you randomly selects a card from your respective half which you exchange so that there is no funny business; you each turn over the card that the other gave you, and they both match: they are both RED ACES! What’s more, after each of you shuffles your own half, this is repeated, this time each of you have the two BLACK ACES, again, randomly selected and exchanged!
Enjoy the web-series based on the 1990's TV-show of the same name, featuring Dr. Michael Likey as Magic Mike Likey and the voice-talents of Darrell Scarrett as Desmond Dragon and Forgetful Lion.
This episode, Mike performs "Stratospheres", (the traffic-lights trick) as well as a prediction card-trick with Desmond. There is also the Alphabet Lunch, story-time, French lesson with Joanne, and drawing segment! The word of the day is "No", and the song is "Just Say No" from the CD "The Ballad of Young Magic Mike".
It's a series of BOOKS! It's a COMIC-STRIP! It's a series of ANIMATED SHORTS! It's a CD! It's THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG MAGIC MIKE'S CASTLE! Magic Mike Likey's prequel to his original 1980's/'90's television show. The location: young Magic Mike's parents' castle, where Mike, a magic enthusiast, artist, and musician, fantasizes numerous adventures both terrestrial and not, with his constant companions, "Desmond Dragon" and "Forgetful Lion", in reality, two stuffed toys, but who miraculously come to life and join Mike on his adventures! In the end, Mike's parents interrupt his daydream adventures by coming home, entering his room, or calling him for dinner. Mike never loses his sense of wonder, sense-of-humor, nor his passion and imagination.
Together with puppeteer Darrell Scarrett, (the voice-talent and creator of the original Desmond and Forgetful) the original "Magic Mike's Castle" (in reruns and web-clips) still bring joy and nostalgia to the long-watching audiences of all ages! Today, Mike's web-series "The New Magic Mike's Castle" captures the charm of that original series! We are proud to welcome "Adventures of Young Magic Mike's Castle" to the "Magic Mike Likey Universe".
