This is one of the books that Abbott published for the troops during wartime in the 1940's. It uses Si Stebbins system, except the step size is 4 rather than 3, also known as "The Riverboat Stack" or "Mark Twain Stack" (see New Card Tricks with the Mark Twain Stack). Routines can be performed with most other stacks.

It was very satisfying to note that many of you have liked the routines and principles explained in the predecessor to this, i.e, Credit Kard Tantra. Thank you for your great response and support.

Here is another collection of 15 amazing effects (including variations), a bonus routine and some bonus ideas - all of which can be done with any participant's credit/debit cards. Almost impromptu, self working and easy to perform routines which do not need any DIY or arts and crafts with either your or the participant's cards.

Most of these routines can also be performed over phone or skype. Some of the routines...

In this eBook, you get 50 feats of mental magic from the legendary U. F. Grant. Written by Don Tanner, contents include book tests, various design duplication methods, Grant's original Prediction Chest, Q&A acts and methods, mental card miracles, blindfolds, and much more. Many of these items are worth far more than the price of the manuscript; including Grant's "Mental Epic" style triple prediction effect, called "Citation," that uses a large regular slate or dry erase board. You get all this for just $4.00, one of the best bargains in magic.

Star Struck is the latest small manuscript authored by Dale A. Hildebrandt. In this ebook, you will learn:

• How to prove that you have previously predicted the star sign of a total stranger inside a packet of 12 Zodiac Sign Cards.
• Also included is Dale's very moving effect "Star Child" which becomes a familial legacy passed down through the generations from parent to child. ("Star Child" has been previously published.)
• A take on a psychological force, with an ingenious two-way out, framed around UFO's and secret government projects. (This presentational framework has been shared by Dale...

Sounds trivial right? Why should a magician not know how the ambitious card routine is done?

With this ebook I attempt to give some clothing to the ACR we all know because it seems naked sometimes to me. And still keeping the setup to the maximal minimum - a deck of cards. You will get a tasty reframe that strengthens not only the intra-connection of the elements in the ACR but also the inter-connection the ACR has to the effects performed around it. Another thing you will get is a simple sleight that allows you to show the ambitious card and without doing any sleights after it, it still...

Learn to make two impossible objects without glue or other bonding agents. You can hand it out for examination. No joint or slit will be visible, because there is none.

This effect was created by Bruce Cervon who gave Aldo permission to teach and release it. It is a wonderfully simple and unique poker deal demonstration that never has to be reset, because at the end of the routine the deck is ready for a repeat - ideal for table hoppers. Uses a regular deck of cards with an additional set of aces.

Aldo also teaches a number of easy false cuts and shuffles which you can use in combination with this demonstration, but they are not necessary. With a good presentation this can be just as effective as other story routines, such as "Sam and Moe" or "Sam and the Bellhop",...

Here Aldo performs and explains twelve effects from his Baroque Cards ebook. The twelve effects were selected by Rachel.

• Vivace: You deal the Kings into four packets and they assemble in one packet. On top of each pile the four Aces appear.
• Aria: An Ace-Assembly that's easy to perform, direct and to-the-point, with a magical and surprising climax.
• Sarabanda: The two black Kings find two selected cards from a deck cut into three piles by a spectator.
• Concerto: The four Jacks disappear and find three cards in the middle of the deck. One indicates the value of a selection, the second the suit and the...

A Close-Up Mental Mystery with Business Cards

Effect:

The performer displays three business cards. One is handed to a spectator, who is instructed to write the name of a loved one on the blank side of the card. They then turn it face down on the other two cards, and mix them up so the location of this card is unknown to anyone. They lay them out in a row.

The performer then uses his mental abilities to correctly isolate the card with the name on it. Finally, without touching that card, he correctly reveals the name itself!

Greg Arce: "I can see this being something to easily carry around...

Sydney and Leslie Piddington were an Australian husband and wife mentalism team who in the late 1940's presented a series of live radio broadcasts for the BBC, comprising of specialized tests devised to demonstrate Lesley's ability to receive thoughts over a great distance.

In this 30 minute video you will learn an effective, easy to prepare and simple method, which will enable you to replicate the style of long distance telepathy experiments made famous by the Piddington's. With very little preparation you'll create the illusion that you possess the ability to silently transmit randomly...

The methods explained in this manuscript involve cutting a deck to ostensibly change its order. They are semi-automatic because minimal dexterity is required. Otherwise they are subtle in seductive ways and all of them are completely or partially false.

The false cut triggering this manuscript is Jay Ose's False Cut that was auspiciously introduced to magicians by Harry Lorayne. This false cut eventually made its way into the repertoires of card specialists, but early on it was primarily meant to be easily and quickly performed after false shuffling. It was to the point, expressing a pleasing, sixbeat...

It is impossible to adequately describe in words the greatness of the Zella Copper and Silver routine. Nowhere will you find a routine so easy and pleasurable to present, yet so profound in its effect upon those watching it. The routine has been thoroughly tested from every practical and theoretical standpoint and has been performed with unparalleled results before men experienced in coin magic.

No double-sided or other trick coins used. No gimmicks. Only regular coins used. Easy to learn as there are no difficult sleights.

First Effect: Three coins are on a table; two half dollars and...

These two funnymen have combined to present twenty-six effects, bits, and gotchas for magicians and mentalists to liven up your act. The various items used include money (bills and coins), cards, cigarettes, cigars, and rope. Especially good is "It's a Matter of Money," which is based on an Annemann principle but uses money instead of cards. It's one you will want to put in your act right away.

Here's a look at the table of contents:

• Elusive Bill
• The Invisible Rope
• Don't Waste It
• Snakes Alive
• Anyone Have a Ten?
• It Slipped In
• Holding the Bag
• Optical Delusions
• Turn-Over
• Pipe Dreams

Here are a dozen quality card magic effects that can be performed with an unprepared deck at a moment's notice. While not self-working, most of these miracles rely on just one or two sleights. Some require a setup. Crisp illustrations by Dr. Harlan Tarbell help make it easy to understand and master.

Here's what's included:

• Improved Topsy-Turvy Deck - The deck is flipped half face-up and half face-down, then sloppily shuffled. The deck mysteriously rights itself, except for three selected cards, which are the only reversed cards in the pack. This will slay your audience.
• Face to Face Fantasy - A cheek-to-cheek...
