A potpourri of great Marlo tricks.
All kinds of magic good for close-up or parlor, comedy or drama, technique or presentation. Excerpt from the conclusion:
We'd like to call your attention to the fact that we have given you a fine variety of card material. Four card discoveries that are novel and off the beaten path, especially the Divining Hanky. For the fellow who has a speck of larceny in his soul, we gave away our pet - a system of culling and stacking - to be used, of course, for entertainment purposes only.
Another tidbit was a flourish that was easy to do. The remaining five items are routines which we feel are new, original, and different, and which will give you a reputation, if used, of doing the best in card magic. All in all, we hope you have been well satisfied with the contents of Deck Deception.
