Bammo Tricks of the Trade
by Bob Farmer

Bob Farmer has gimmicked, treated, and modified playing cards for decades to achieve his various clever effects using gimmicked and gaffed decks and cards. He has collected a number of very useful ways to treat cards for various purposes. This manuscript outlines several processes and procedures and informs you about all the necessary tools and supplies and where to get them.

Included is Bob's Hallucination 2.0 effect which is an improvement of Eddie Clever's Hallucination routine first published in the Jinx in November 1934.
