Magic & Conjuring: page 138

Excerpt from the Foreword:

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...

A beautiful compact routine wherein three coins vanish and then magically reappear, one coin at a time. An instant classic.

Recorded live at the Convention at the Capital 1998.

Enrico Varella, corporate trainer and world-class distance runner from Singapore, is an experienced magician, and VP of the IBM ring 115, 'The Great Wong Ring' in Singapore.

Enrico has performed in over 22 countries in live performances as well as on television. He is also the creator of "Tiepit", a jacket-less topit - check it out!

The three routines described herein are favorites of Enrico, having been refined after countless performances over 25 years.

XXX-Traordinary - 3 coins materialize, one at a time, each then becomes "invisible", and then, materialize once again!

"It looks really good - Lots of very useful material. In many ways, you are selling it short by calling it the Tiepit book as it contains a wealth of information well beyond that particular idea. You may want to add a subtitle which lets the buyer know how much additional information is in the book." - Jay Scott Berry ...

An amazing mental effect where the magician correctly predicts cards and colors despite odds of over 16,000 to 1 against it. A real stunner you can close a show with. A prediction so impossible that the odds are over 16,000 to 1 against it being correctly predicted.

EFFECT: You give a small sealed envelope to a spectator, saying he can open it at the appropriate time. You then take a deck of cards and shuffle them face up so the spectator can see the cards are really being mixed. You then have a spectator cut the cards twice. Now you show a rectangular piece of cardboard, which stands facing...
