Relating the tale of Amanda Cole, a woman who could FEEL colors and emotions on paper and print, you bring out a little stack of photographs, which the spectator freely deals into two separate piles.
Astonishingly, the spectator has channeled Amanda Cole, and must have sensed the emotions on the photos - for one pile is all happy, smiling children, and the other is photos of upset children!
The props tell the story, and the effect is much more impactful, sensing emotions rather than just 'red' and 'black', and the effect plays faster than ever without sacrificing any of the effect!
Featuring 24 custom designed photo cards, handcrafted presentation box, photo of Amanda Cole and video instructions featuring several handlings of Out of This World, including the classic Paul Curry method, Karl Fulves 'Even Money Proposition' and more!
Also includes an audio recording of an interview recorded in 1971 with Eva Grange, Amanda Coles God-Niece to flesh out your backstory.

What people are saying
The Curious Case of Amanda Cole is an extraordinary effect with great easy to use props. Actually I would highly recommend any product by Dead Rebel. Hands down they are absolutely my favorite producer of magic. Amanda Cole case is a perfect example. A master piece card effect created in 1942 by Paul Curry appropriately named Out of this World, has always deserved the dramatic routine and props that Dead Rebel has created. Their entire line includes the best and most effective tricks created by some of the most innovative minds in Magic. These are not just for the pro’s, but ideal for the less experienced magician. Effects like Amanda Cole will absolutely help any magician to become more comfortable in learning to focus on entertaining and interesting routines. All DR effects come with fascinating props. Old worn photos, weathered leather pouches, antique pocket watches, silver dollars from the 1800’s and very cool wooden boxes. Decrepit hand written letters and back stories that you can tweak and make your own. I wait with baited breath for a new release. So much fun to make everything look even older. Tea stain the letters and put deep creases in the photos. I scrape bits of the photos on concrete and even burn the edges of things. I actually put out my cigarettes on any leather props and rub in the ashes. I know…. I have too much time on my hands. But it’s half the fun when you get them. You will have a lot of amazing fun with any DR trick. And you will definitely become a confident performer from this kind of magic. Just have fun.Quick suggestion, remember to handle things like they are precious treasures handed down through many years. Priceless irreplaceable keepsakes. You will gain a psychological edge when you ask a spectator to hold something that your treasure and has deep meaning. You are trusting them. Change the stories however it suits you best. But when you create a fictional person in your story, like “ oh I learned this from an old man while traveling or I met a great magician who taught me this”. Always give them a name. Have fun making up the name you can bring life to this fictional person or stories. Make it real for you and it becomes real for your audience. You will have so much fun learning just some simple nuances. As a matter of fact I recently purchased The Beast from DR. Wow does that spook people. All about the Tullworth family of Dunwich Massachusetts who had some strange goings on when they moved into the neighborhood. It’s really easy to give a really interesting performance with Amanda Cole. A great place to start. Over time you’ll want them all. Great to tie three or four of their effects into one routine. It’s like a magic saga. Easy, memorable, baffling and I promise you’ll have so much fun. Fun makes everything easier. Dead Rebel makes it easy. Steve R
HI Steve, Oh that does sound like fun. Making things look really old. There is something about handling really old items. It's an amazing connection with the past. I remember going through an old collection of news papers and magazines at an antique store. It was like stepping back in time. They really are precious and the way you handle them is very delicately. The tip about making up a name. I've noticed you doing that, making up names of people and tricks, I worry about not remembering them later when I need them. This is probably because I haven't tried to come up with a name first, instead I try to do it off the top of my head, and that just doesn't work well so I end up saying something like a very old man. I'm sure thinking about it now, that is exactly the problem. Much better to have thought it through first and have the name prepared up front. It's a great suggestion! - Ron Teitelbaum
