My Opening Act:
Deciding to show off your ESP skill and having only a deck of cards and a rubber band, you hand your deck out to be shuffled to a nice man named Ted. After he is finished shuffling, you ask Ted to place the rubber band around the cards to make them tamper-proof. You ask Ted if he will stop you on a card as you riffle them past his eyes. To prove to Ted that all is on the up and up, you offer to stare at his girlfriend Mary...

T.G. later decided that gambling and especially cheating were not in the cards. He believed that nerves of steel and the killer instinct were for the young and relentless. T.G. choose to convert back to magic. He bought and studied magic books and continued creating his own style of deception.

The two greatest factors of his formative years that were instilled in him were to create his oen repertoire of original sleights and to learn how to "unhandle" a deck of cards...

Now comes their first ever joint effort, which contains 10 brand new and sparkling routines, all designed for practical use.

Included within are…

Invisi-Cards – a mind bending routine where three selections vanish individually when trapped between two Jokers. This ends with a sucker punch that nobody will see coming. Not even Derek Acorah.

A Rough Year – a new take on the Diary plot, where the spectator doesn’t even name the date she chooses....

• ... Buy, sell, swop or announce.
• Ian Keable and Walt discuss the good professor Hoffman
• Alexander Allen adds yet another novel card revelation to the cannon.
• Peter Duffie presents an easy to do 'Lie Detector' that cannot fail, and which, with good management, allows the spectator to handle the cards for the whole trick.
• Max Maven moves on to a variation of his effect in the last issue. The four aces are used for a couple of preliminary tricks to see if they are up to the task of locating a selected card. They are; and they do.
• Stephen Tucker and Andrew Hawkes continue the theme they began...

This effect is a variation of an effect called ACAT (Any Card At Any Time), extracted from CLUE ebook. It can be presented with playing cards, or special cards (like the Vernet PSImbol deck, or movies (like Directors's cut or Screen test), French postcards, etc.), or just with blank index cards or your own business cards (with drawings, symbols, words, numbers, etc. on the back). It is not a card trick, but rather a mystery or paradox.

It is hands-off, automatic, self-working, can be done over the phone or sight unseen, stand up, close up or stage (with jumbo cards). It is easy, practical, and...

Words power
If you do not like spelling tricks, you and your audience will become an addict with this routine (and adaptable principle)

Chin Chin!
A short entertaining routine with four index cards representing a bottle of Champagne (or else) and three empty glasses. You fill the glasses, and empty them again.

Crossword
An impossible transposition of signed drawings. One of the best close-up principles with business cards that is worth the price of this ebook...

A new principle for business cards.

"I was badly fooled!" - Matt Mello

"I HAVE NO IDEA! This principle can be used in so many routines and ways, it's making my head spin!" - Phedon Bilek

"I would give a testimony to this effect, but I don't want you guys having it. IT FOOLED ME - I grinned from ear to ear when RedDevil shared the workings and I just don't know if I'm ready to let RedDevil share this. It's too bloody cheeky! (Said in my best British accent). I love it!" - Peter Turner
