"Tosheroon" is an odd but memorable name. It sounds amusing and somewhat incantatory - especially for a card trick. Bob Driebeck, who dubbed it, knew that the word was Cockney slang for a half-crown, which is also the type of coin he used to perform this offbeat card trick.

The basic effect is a transformation done with an impediment in place - the impediment or obstruction in this case is a coin, which is placed onto the face of the card that eventually changes.

Effect: A card is selected and lost in the deck. Then a borrowed coin is marked and placed onto the face...

Showing a trick is comparatively easy to putting it clearly in print, and I want to thank Anneman for his judicious use of the blue pencil, finding spots where I could write less and tell more, and in general, being a marvelous deleter and paraphraser.

Eine verblüffende, auf der Jastrow-Illusion beruhende Routine mit einem überraschenden Abschluss

Der Vorführende erzählt von einem Traum, in dem er an einem Wettfischen teilnahm und dabei den grössten Fisch fing.

Dies illustriert er mit einer Tafel, auf der der Fisch abgebildet ist. Unmittelbar vor der Preisverleihung tauchte plötzlich ein anderer Fischer auf, der einen genau gleich grossen Fisch gefangen hatte. Beide Fische waren 25 cm lang, was der Vorführende mittels eines Massstabes beweist.

Da der Vorführende unbedingt gewinnen wollte, streute er Salz über den Fisch seines Konkurrenten....

A gradual transposition of three silver coins and three golden coins with an unexpected climax. Two routines.

Many methods have been devised for the classical effect wherein three coins pass invisibly through space to join three more. "Dubbelkross" and "Simulkross" are two further variations on the same theme; but, not only are the methods altered, the effects are, too. In fact, "Dubbelkross" represents the first attempt (as far as I know) at giving this transposition a definite climax. "Simulkross" does not pretend to give a startling climax, but is interesting because coins pass simultaneously...

Newly revised and updated, this must-have reference not only includes the mechanics of the switches themselves, but also offers a behind-the-scenes peek of how performers work their magic with cards. Included is the full handling of Herbert Brooks' sensational card-from-pocket mystery, just as he performed it for years on the vaudeville stage. Some of the methods involve no apparatus, others rely on props owned by most magicians.

The 25 methods are:
