You turn over three cards and they are seen to be all blank. The other card is the 10 of Clubs, the sum of all the cards! [Note: Aldo originally included the three necessary blank cards and the two jumbo cards. This download does not include these cards.

The Strange Inventions of Doctor ErvinDariel FitzkeeDoctor Edward George Ervin was a dentist and amateur magician whose mentor and teacher was famous William Robinson, aka Chung Ling Soo. Excerpt from the introduction by T. Nelson Downs: Nearly thirty years ago, when I first met Dr. Ervin I was not only greatly impressed with the man himself, but also the type of magic he stood for. During the passing years this impression has become increasingly strengthened. To me the words "Ervin" and "subtle ingenuity" mean one and the same thing, for I have been privileged to share the greater part of his choicest magical inventions during a long period. As per the old proverb,... | $10 to wish list | |

Inside JobMark LeveridgeA small envelope with a hole cut from its address side is examined. A deck of blank-faced cards is then freely displayed and one blank card is openly slid into the envelope which is left in view. From a regular deck, a spectator touches the back of any card. Let's say it is the 6C. This card is waved over the envelope and when the previously blank card is slid out it is seen to have now printed itself to match the selected 6C.

Power of PersuasionArthur SetteringtonSetterington offers an alternative presentation theme for a mentalist who does not want to perform like a mentalist. Rather than claim you can read minds or predict the future, you are demonstrating how people can be influenced and persuaded without them knowing or feeling influenced. What is "Power of Persuasion"? P.O.P. . . . is a lecture/demonstration, using simple items, which can be carried in a brief-case. P.O.P. . . . is a fresh approach to mentalism, which blows away the cobwebs of the past, eschewing the supernatural or prenatural, making it acceptable to modern audiences. ... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Six AppealMark LeveridgeAn envelope is shown and a single card removed from inside, but not shown. The envelope is otherwise empty. This card is a prediction and is replaced into the envelope and left in view. Six Jumbo cards are freely and openly displayed and various spectators are asked to choose any of the cards to eliminate until just one is left. Despite the fact that there is genuinely no force or selection control, the prediction card exactly matches the randomly arrived at selection. This direct effect is ideal for a close-up or parlor show.

Original Card MysteriesEric F. ImpeyExcerpt from the Foreword: The majority of the effects described in this book are absolutely new, and require a minimum amount of skill. I have been using many of them for a considerable time, and they are all original with me, except one. So I sincerely hope that others will not "invent" them in a few months time. In this publication, Impey describes how to wax together pairs of cards, a technique that Dai Vernon would later refine with rough-and-smooth to create his famous Brainwave deck. Judson Brown is generally credited with inventing the basic brainwave-type effect using Impey's waxed cards... | $10 to wish list | |

DazzzilllePeter PellikaanYou show four cards with red backs. Then you table one of the red-backed cards and add a card with a blue back to the remaining three red-backed cards. Suddenly all of these four cards have a blue back. You table one of the blue-backed cards and add a card with yet another back design. The same thing happens, all the cards take on that new and different back design. You do the same procedure one more time. Then the Joker enters the picture and even more all different backs appear. If this doesn't dazzle you then clearly Dazzzillle is not for you.

In fact, if you can get your hands on a piece of string or twine you can perform Fast and Loose.
