Here's a great way to show an audience that you're a top-flight manipulator. This routine will bring you plenty of "oohs" and "aahs" from the crowd.
The performer's hands are placed together - fingers interlocked - then shown empty by showing first the palms and then the backs. Suddenly, up pops a playing card. The hands are shown empty again and another card is produced. This can be continued for 15 to 20 cards without reloading.
The thumbs are free - no preparation. The audience sees it the same as illustrated on the cover. Can be done any time. Use any playing cards. You'll understand it two minutes after you get it.
"Anyone who uses cards will want this - you can do it any time, and, unlike the one in Expert Card Technique by Cliff Green, in this method, you show the thumbs free at all times." - Dell O'Dell
"Joe is one of the foremost card manipulators and especially one of the most original." - Harold Sterling
"The Cottone version has much to recommend it." - John Braun
