Complete Torn and Restored Card EbookStephen TuckerWay back in 1984 Stephen published a strange looking booklet on the 'Torn and Restored Card' effect called The Torn and Restored Card Book. Three routines formed the content, but the most striking thing about the publication was that the booklet was actually torn in half! It was still a complete piece of work, but the appearance was that of half a book. It soon sold out, probably due to its novelty value. It was updated and re-printed in 1986 with additional material. Around that time Stephen's good friend David Britland published a solution to a card-problem of his in his Tearing A Lady in Two manuscript. However, it did... | ★★★★★ $17 to wish list | |
ACAANStephen TuckerAny Card At Any Number - You table a cased deck, then remove a small, thin note-pad from your shirt pocket and ask one person to name any card. Let's assume he says, "The Queen of Spades." You record this on the pad. You next ask a second person to name any number from 1 to 52. Let's assume this person says, "22". You record this too, then pick up the cased deck. You remove the cards and show that they are all different. You hand the deck to one of them, and ask that he deals down to the 22nd card... it's the Queen of Spades! If you would like to inject a little comedy, once the card and... | ★★★★★ $17 to wish list | |

Forces, Peeks, Stacks and GaffsScott CreaseyShould a Mentalist use playing cards? Good question and one which has been raging among Mentalists since Annemann was still going strong. In this book Scott has addressed that question and put together some of his favourite Mentalism card routines, covering effects with borrowed decks, stacked decks and gaffed decks. You'll find no knuckle busting sleight of hand here; instead Scott has included some of his own routines taken straight from his professional mentalism repertoire, many of which no other magicians have seen until now. Some of the ideas are based on old effects given a new twist, but... | ★★★★★ $17 to wish list | |

Barry's Stacked DeckBarry RayThis is a stack that retains the simplicity of a Si Stebbins or Eight Kings stack, but randomizes colours and suits. Why Another Stacked Deck? The two most popular stacked decks are Si Stebbins and Eight Kings. Why should this be so? Because both systems are easy to do, under fire, under pressure and any other interruptions you find when performing. There are other systems out there but they are more complex and more demanding, unless you are using them all the time. But the Si Stebbins and the Eight Kings have one glaring fault (if fault you could call it) and that is the alternating... | ★★★★★ $16 to wish list | |

The Vortex Principle: and other madnessesAvik DuttaFresh from the success of his Confession and Oblivion manuscripts, Avik is back, this time with a short treatise on cards. The star of this show is his 'Vortex principle' - a method for covertly spotting and controlling multiple cards from a fairly shuffled deck. One could describe it as a 'control in stages', because it is not one single movement you do to control a card. It is something you do while you casually shuffle your cards. Next, comes an effect called "Any Card at Any Name", which employs an age-old principle to powerful effect. The central section of the manuscript details 'The Narcissus... | $16 to wish list | |

Dunbury DelusionsJon Racherbaumer"It is one of the very best tricks which can be done for close-up work." - Hugard and Braue from Show Stoppers With Cards From the Foreword: The Dunbury Delusion has an illustrious pedigree that has been up, down, and all around the magic scene for at least 100 years. Charlie Miller's method that was published in Expert Card Technique in 1940, more or less branded his name on it, but seven year earlier Victor Farelli published a modified version ("The Partagas Sell") in Farelli's Card Magic.

Dreamwork 2Jon RacherbaumerThis short compilation follows on the heels of another compilation titled Dreamwork. Both relate to Bob Hummer's "The Midreader's Dream." Bob Hummer introduced to the magic world many interesting principles and effects. One of the first to make a splash was introduced in 1952. The dreamy dealer ad seemed too good to be true: A spectator merely thinks of a card and then performs a few, unseen dealing procedures with a deck of cards. The magician, whose back was turned throughout these actions, turns and faces the spectator. He takes the deck, briefly scans the cards, and consults a "dream book." He then names... | ★★★★★ $16 to wish list |
