Magic & Conjuring: page 94

Here's another collection of packet tricks. Using only a few cards you can perform very strong, baffling, visual magic. The main feature is: TOTALLY IMPROMPTU EFFECTS AND NO SET-UPS!

Contents:

• COURTSHIP (Nick Trost): You show two separate packets of cards, four Queens and four Kings. Magically they assemble by colors and suits!
• NINE FOREVER (Aldo Colombini): A two-phase routine using just eight cards including a card revelation and a prediction!
• GORDON'S ACES (Paul Gordon): Eight cards are removed and you try to find a card of each suit. You do, but at the same time, you also find the four Aces!
• DECA...

"You have some very nice thinking in these variations." - Peter Duffie.

A regular deck of cards is shuffled and then cut by someone a couple of times. You take back the cards and spread them between your hands and have one FREELY selected by someone. He places the card directly into...

"Brilliant and clever indeed. Shades of Clearly Predictable and Casino Royale. I'm sure many of us old-timers have incorporated various facets of this gem in our work, but this gentleman has forged a total masterpiece. If I were still in the saddle I would put this puppy to work. It could be used as an opener, however it's a little long winded. As a closer I think it would truly be a standing ovation masterwork of mentalism. I'll keep it close to the vest." - Larry Becker

JON ARMSTRONG
My Opening Act:
Deciding to show off your ESP skill and having only a deck of cards and a rubber band, you hand your deck out to be shuffled to a nice man named Ted. After he is finished shuffling, you ask Ted to place the rubber band around the cards to make them tamper-proof. You ask Ted if he will stop you on a card as you riffle them past his eyes.

The Zarrow Shuffle is a full deck false shuffle. Steven does it without the usual slip-cut.

runtime 2min 37s

The Touch Force is an old idea that can be traced back to Hofzinser. It is described in many books among them The Royal Road to Card Magic.

runtime 5min 29s

The top change allows you to exchange a card held in one hand with the top card of the deck held in your other hand.

runtime 5min 20s

Usually this force is described using a knife as in the Amateur Magicians' Handbook. However, anything flat that can be inserted into a deck works, for example another playing card or a business card. Steven includes several applications and finesses to this wonderful force.

runtime 6min 43s

This is a side steal from a spread rather than a squared up deck. It combines ideas from Ed Marlo and the deliberate steal and Jack MacMillen. You will also learn how to side steal a face up card including a cover deck turn motion which will make this completely invisible.

runtime 10min 50s

This technique was taught to Steven by the late Paul Chosse. It allows you to do either a perfect In-Faro or Out-Faro.

runtime 6min

You will learn two versions for the classic Homing Card effect. The first one uses only one palm and is for the beginner and the second version uses two palms.

runtime 6min

Steven teaches how to achieve a natural looking hand while a card is being palmed. You will learn Dai Vernon's Topping the Pack.

runtime 14min 24s

runtime 1min 42s

Erdnase on Edge is a finessed Erdnase top palm.

runtime 5min 10s

Steven has a very good classic force and he shares his tips and tricks with you.
