CourtskillIan BaxterA new approach to the Stewart James classic Miraskill. Theo Annemann's journal The Jinx, September 1936, was where Miraskill was first published. Subsequently reprinted in various books and magazines over the years, this Stewart James creation still baffles one and all. The years have not dulled the remarkable impact it can have on today's audiences. Courtskill is a brand-new version of Miraskill. Australian card man Ian Baxter has concocted a totally new version, with some very distinct advantages. Barely half the deck is used, trimming the performance time considerably, not to mention a surprise approach involving court... | $8 to wish list | |

Simplicity Aces ComebackIan BaxterA new approach to the Stewart James classic Simplicity Four Ace Trick. First appearing in print in Ralph W. Hull's book More Eye Openers, Jean Hugard wasted no time in grabbing it for Encyclopedia Of Card Tricks; it also ended up in John Northern Hilliard's mammoth book Greater Magic, along with a number of other texts as well. The straightforward plot involves the four Aces of the pack assembling in one heap, following a careful separation from other cards. Economy of movement is top of the list here, buoyed by an absence of sleights and very easy moves. Within reach of any card handler, beginner or expert. And now, years down the track, Ian Baxter offers this... | $8 to wish list | |
Pocketheral Once AgainIan BaxterA new approach to the Stewart James classic Pocketheral. Stewart James (1908 - 1996) was known not just for an immense output of published effects, but his deliberate, somewhat humorous conferring of odd titles to various tricks. Pocketheral was certainly no exception, attracting the attention of, among others, Edward Marlo. The Cardician, Marlo's celebrated book released back in 1953, included two very worthwhile variations of PTR. Marlo, along with many others, would doubtless have been amused by the name chosen for this one. Marlo's approach involved not twenty but ten cards being dealt in a row, a spectator being asked... | $8 to wish list | |

Quicker QuestIan BaxterA new approach to the Stewart James classic Queer Quest. Another Stewart James card mystery from the past, brought right up to date by Australian cardman Ian Baxter. Queer Quest first appeared in The Jinx magazine back in 1938. Publisher Ted Annemann endorsed it immediately because this was obviously not just another card trick. Although the effect is far from new, three spectators each selecting a card with the performer locating them one at a time, Queer Quest stood out because of its simple method and straightforward presentation. Eighty-five years down the track and Q.Q. is now totally revamped, with easier handling... | $8 to wish list | |

The Assistant's RevengeMichael JordenA new take on Harbin's "Aztec Lady" and "Assistant's Revenge". Excerpt from the introduction: For some time now I have been wanting to build an illusion act and, for me, Harbin seemed to be the place to start. Unfortunately Zig-Zag had been performed so many times on television that I felt it would serve no useful place in my act. However, I did want a "torture" illusion and after reading "Harbincadabra" decided to attempt to make "Aztec Lady" based on the photographs in the book, as well as the brief information given in the Appendix "Letter to New Zealand". I had seen Harbin perform this illusion... | $8 to wish list | |
