(While the prediction will always match, a segment of phase one can lead to a wrong call, but Dustin provides a way to handle this gracefully.)

Irresistible Close-Up MagicDuratyThe best routines of a french magician well known for his creativity and efficiency.
Duraty says: "The effects gathered in this book represent more than 40 years of close-up performances. Endowed with just an average skill, I always gave preference to the most practical and easiest methods for I consider that effects are the only part that counts. I perform magic to amaze and surprise lay audiences rather than showing off in front of other magicians. In my opinion, skill must remain hidden, flourishes and magical juggling demonstrations are not compatible with the idea I formed of magic,... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |

Gaukelwerk with CardsDr. Hans-Christian SolkaA new, potentially faster, method to clock a deck of cards. 'Clocking' a deck of cards means applying some kind of counting method to identify one card that has been removed from the deck. The idea is very old and dates back to at least 1708 (Jaques Ozanam's Recreations Mathematical and Physical). Typically one makes two passes through the deck. The first to identify the value of the card, and the second to identify the suit. The key in making this method deceptive is to be very fast in your counting, which is dependent on the details of the counting procedure. Dr. Solka offers a new method,... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish list | |
SnibbetsDr. Hans-Christian SolkaAn easy-to-calculate version of the Si Stebbins stack. The name 'Snibbets' (Stebbins reversed) was coined by Rusduck. It denotes a reversed Si Stebbins stack where instead of adding 3 to get to the next card's value one substracts 3. The first to publish a negative step version was Ernest Hammond in The Magic of Tomorrow. While this may seem a rather inconsequential change, it has some advantages over the classic Si Stebbins stack. In this ebook, Dr. Solka takes you through the details of this lesser-known version of Si Stebbins. 1st edition 2022, PDF 19 pages. | ★★★★★ $9.90 to wish list |
