Instructions, routines, tips, and ideas for a card punch.
This is a series of letters to a fictitious E.N. Igami ('imagine' when read reversed) with information on how to use a card punch and what can be done with it, particularly from a conjurer's perspective. It is one of the few resources available on card punches. It also reproduces a few passages from older books that cover punch work.
Several gambling demonstrations are detailed, including a Dai Vernon Bridge Deal as well as poker and blackjack routines. Other routines have more of a mental slant. Ray Grismer also explains his system for placement of the marks, which is very practical.
This manuscript was originally sold in combination with a card punch. This ebook is only the instructions. For card punches you may want to consider Blistr or Card Punch.
