This is a rare collection of card secrets that U. F. Grant sold separately. These were listed in his catalog as single items or special props using cards. These were not part of his other card books. The complete directions for the prop tricks are included in this ebook. Many of these items can be made up from cards you may have around your home. If you have seen some of the effects in his early catalogs and wondered how they were done, then this PDF may satisfy your curiosity. A wealth of information that is hard to find elsewhere. This is volume 1 of a planned two volume set. You get all the following secrets:
A Series Of Mistakes: After the performer fails to find two selected cards, (selected while out of the room) a spectator cuts to them in the shuffled deck.
Beauty Card In Cigarette Case: A card held in your hand visibly changes places with a card inside a cigarette case.
