Reelistic MagicLewis GansonA collection of tricks, stunts and bits of business using a reel. A reel is a very powerful stage and parlor tool.

It is small enough that it can be easily palmed, but powerful enough to pull silks, cords and other items in a fraction of a second. It is like an invisible hand that the performer can use at his command. Includes care, repair and maintenance of reels.

Patrick Page's Cards to PocketLewis GansonLike ghosts they pass up the sleeve and into the pocket. From the introduction: This routine has all the ingredients to delight the discerning performer, the effect is excellent and although it conforms generally to the classical version of "The Cards to Pocket", it has that dash of variation that makes it novel.
