Released is a brand new e-book of card magic that was created by professional magicians Cameron Francis and Liam Montier. If magic were wrestling, these guys would be the Legion of Doom.

Between them, these two whacky chaps have had more than a staggering 12 DVDs and released numerous effects and publications. Both have been hailed for fresh thinking, commercial material, strong effects and plots and simplicity of handling, and taste in shoes.

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

AN AMAZING TRANSPOSITION OF TWO SIGNED SELECTED CARDS WITH AN INSTANT REPEAT!

Each of two audience members (our good friends Bob and Sue) select a card and sign its face. Sue's card (the 3S) is placed on top of the deck, while Bob's (the KD) is placed in your pants pocket. You put Sue's card, reversed, in the center of the deck. After a magical gesture, the deck is spread, and... the reversed card at the center is Bob's signed KD! Remarking that you thought you put Bob's card in your pocket, you reach into said pocket and remove the card--only to find that it is Sue's signed 3S!

TWO'S COMPANY: You remove the four Kings from the deck, then have two spectators each select a card. Both selections are lost into the deck. You now offer the audience a choice of Kings, the red ones or the black ones. They might opt for the red Kings. You pick these up and turn them over whereupon the first spectator's selection appears reversed between them. You place this sandwich on the table then pick up the two black Kings, which you place face up on top of the deck and give...

Performs adult magic for children and childrens' magic for adults. He is also known as Professor Bungle and occasionally tries to keep Mr Punch in order in his traditional Punch and Judy show, but usually ends up having a cup of tea in the booth while the wooden acting goes on above his head.

Steve has lots of experience in writing and directing for children's theatre and many people have actually paid real money to see the panto's (that's British Pantomime) and shows he has written.
