Four lovely card effects put together by Peter Duffie.

4-SOME: Here's a simple and automatic, yet highly effective, way to get four of a kind using the Fulves "Gemini Twins" concept.

3-SOME: A matching effect where the spectator does all the work and finishes with Three of a Kind. Inspired by, but not using, Marty Kane's Status Quo-2 Principle.

THE HEAVY TEAM: A selected card lost in a packet is found by a randomly chosen Ace detective.

GHOST BUSTER: In effect, you show an Ace, Two, Three and Four of Spades. Each card passes from top to bottom and it is then discarded. When you reach...

The first book of its kind, it contains information you will not find elsewhere on the inside secrets of snake magic and snake charming.

Have you ever wondered how magicians and snake charmers touch deadly cobras on the nose and NOT GET BITTEN? Well, it is not just nerve. It is a clever trick that few people know how it is done. Both Al Mann and Devin Knight have done this trick many times. Al Mann learned the secrets in India from street magicians and passed the information on to Devin Knight. Devin performed this trick when he was visiting China. Both Al Mann and Devin Knight improved upon...

The one-card middle pass is a versatile, although relatively unknown and underused sleight. Raymonde Crow teaches this powerful move, plus several unique variations of what he calls the Sandwich Pass, which will enable you to instantly control a card to second-from-the-bottom, to create a sandwich effect, and to move a card into gambler's cop.

In addition, Raymonde teaches two of his go-to card effects for the Sandwich Pass, the Comedy Sandwich and The Prince and the Pauper, from his book As the Crow Flies, available here at Lybrary.com. These powerful effects require no setup or gaffs, and can be done with...

The Double Whammy is a fun and easy card effect that hits hard. I wanted a card routine that I could do anytime with a borrowed deck. This is an effect that will knock their socks off and have them falling on their knees yelling, "He is the chosen one!" Well, maybe not that strong of a guarantee, but an effect that really will show them that you are a magician. I have always had people shout out in excitement at the end of this routine. This is one of the routines that I always do when handed a deck of cards.

You are at a party and someone mentions that you are a magician. (HEY, it could...

[Note: This effect was already part of Mentalism Games.]

From the audience point of view, this effect will look completely improvised as you present it with nothing. Just their fingers and yours. It really blows people's minds (laymen and magicians alike).

Finger burn: Ask a spectator to show you any finger; and put it over a candlelight or an invisible lighter. Your same finger will carry a blister even though your hands were apparently in full view all the time.

Voodoo finger: A variation to give away your business card.

Cristian takes on the classic B'wave plot, and comes up with creative ideas for making it a highlight in any magic show or mentalism act.

He touches on close-up and stage performances, and adds unique twists designed to stun modern audiences. Hidden among the unique presentations are ways to turn an entire, previously examined deck of cards into a blank deck (no deck switch), or how to predict a number simply thought of by a spectator (nothing written down, no pre-show work or verbal forces) - all in the context of the B'wave plot.

As seen in his previous work on the Invisible Deck, his presentations...
