Aces in Deception or "How Right You Are"Lewis GansonAn easy and effective multiphase routine with a Svengali deck. A spectator is correct continually in finding a previously selected card which the performer underlines with the punch line "How Right You Are." From the introduction:
Here is one of those card routines in which the happenings are inexplicable to the uninitiated. The handling of the cards is so natural and each move is performed so deliberately, that trickery appears out of the question, yet a series of effects take place which really are uncanny.
To begin with, I will confess that a Svengali pack is used throughout and... | $10 to wish list | ||
Card Magic by ManipulationLewis GansonExcerpt from the introduction: By much trial and error, made during odd hours over several years, a system for producing fans of cards has been built up gradually—not based on an entirely new principle but consisting of a sequence of moves in which many of the good points of other methods have been gathered together whilst faults have been avoided.

A new look at the Okito Box Teach-InLewis GansonIn 1911, Okito was in partnership with Joe Klein in a magic shop on Broadway, New York. Joe suffered from indigestion and kept his boxes of pills in a drawer in the shop. Okito often handled the pill boxes and noticed that the lid would fit on both bottom and top and in each case, the box looked the same. He had some made up in metal instead of cardboard, of such a size as to take coins and so the "Okito Coin Box" was born. Since they were first marketed by the Bamberg Magic and Novelty Company, dealers all over the world have manufactured and sold these boxes.

Matching the Cards Teach-InLewis GansonWhen Lewis Ganson asked Dai Vernon what he considered to be the best card effect, he replied that in his opinion "Matching The Cards" would be difficult to beat, particularly when performed for lay audiences.
