Cut The CardsMartin Gardner The 17 effects contained in this collection can be performed with an unprepared deck. Never again be caught without a trick.

Here's what's included: A Close Fit - Some of you will win bar bets with this impossible-appearing optical illusion. The Unconfused Joker - The Joker helps locate the spectator's card, though the audience thinks its impossible. Double Vanish and Recovery - A beautiful effect by Ed Marlo where... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
Moment's Notice 9Cameron Francis Feast your eyes on and fry your spectators' brains with six more insanely impossible impromptu card miracles. TRIP EL REMIX - An amped-up version of a classic triple prediction trick with a major kicker ending. A serious fooler - and best of all, it's entirely self-working. BIDDLE-ISH - A lean, mean, super-clean "Card Across" effect. You've never seen this spin on a time-tested classic of card magic. BUT NOT LEAST - A wildly deceptive triple sandwich effect with an eye-popping, in-the-spectators-hands ending. EAT FRESH - Inspired by the Buck Twins' legendary "Subway" - but you don't... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list | |
Marlo Without TearsJon Racherbaumer From the Foreword: MARLO WITHOUT TEARS began as a flip notion five years ago. My original plan was to prepare a salmagundi of previously published material by Marlo that was easy to do; to select methods which stressed subtlety and psychological cunning and required no difficult sleights. There is a neat irony here because such material is not associated with Marlo. The prevailing assumption about Marlovian magic focusses on its difficulties, complexities, and textual protraction. The look of his books are intimidating: pages of explanation, dense detail, allusions to other notes (published... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |
Potpourri 3Nick Conticello A Further Collection of Impromptu, Sleightless, Mathematical Tricks Nick Conticello is proud to present the third and final installment of the Potpourri series. Herewith is another collection of impromptu, sleightless, mathematical effects with cards. Each book has a theme, and this one is no exception. The entire ebook is devoted to what Nick calls the Australian Shuffle. (You may refer to it as the Down/Under Deal.) The present work is concerned with three placement concepts. George Sands devised one in the mid-Twentieth Century. Nick published the second in Tarbell 7, and he is releasing... | $12 to wish list | |
Moment's Notice 10Cameron Francis "I love 'Precursor' - That's a really great plot!" - Liam MontierThe Moment's Notice series continues with six more stunning, spectacular, sensational effects. Hard-hitting and easy to do, this might be the best of the series yet. Divided - An incredible two phase effect that ends in a full deck color separation (You are going to love the concept that makes this possible). Streamlined Sandwich - Two face up Jacks are cut into the deck. A card is freely selected (for real). It then appears between... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list | |
The Gerats PrincipleFerry Gerats The principle facilitates in determining the position and identity of the matching of cards in two decks, which have been randomized by the cutting of each deck. The principle works in conjunction with a memorized stack. A presentation is given where you don't have to commit a stack to memory. The Gerats Principle enables you to perform the following effect: Two decks are on the table. After two spectators have each cut one of the decks to their heart's content, the magician is able, without handling the cards, to tell whether there will be a matching of cards (ie: 2♥/2♥)) at a certain... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |
Scripted #9: Serendipity DeckLarry Brodahl Imagine being able to control coincidence. Where the time and location of two events determines the outcome of the events. This script and full instructions explains how. Imagine being able to control coincidence. Where the time and location of two events determines the outcome of the events. Now you can! The magician removes a BLUE backed card from his pocket as he talks about coincidence, and how coincidence is decided by two factors: physical proximity and time. He has someone sit on the card. He then removes a RED backed deck from his pocket, and spreads the cards out front and back... | $8 to wish list | |
A Bumblebee's FlightMichel Cayrol & Jean-Marie Beckers This is an important improvement of the classic Kruskal principle. Think about this: The spectator can shuffle the deck and you still know exactly where the count will end! This ebook contains a new principle on Kruskal-counting and illustrates the principle with two effects. The first effect A Bumblebee’s Flight will lead the spectator’s dealing sequence invariably to a known/predicted card, even after a shuffle by the spectator. A version for cards taken out of a sealed box and shuffled twice by spectators is also provided. Performance and explanation videos by Tomas Blomberg are linked... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Expert Card ChicaneryAlton C. Sharpe From the Preface: This booklet, like our other Expert Series, is not designed to be either a reference or an authority in the ordinary sense. Perhaps, at best, it might be called a tickler, a reminder, or a check list, although none of these terms would be exact. It was written and compiled to stimulate one's "thought processes" and to instill creative activity within those who have a fondness for the pasteboards.

Expert Card ConjuringAlton C. Sharpe From the introduction by Robert Parrish: This book contains a remarkably select collection of sophisticated means for increasing and deepening the potential for "pleasant illusion" that resides in a pack of cards. These contributions range from presentation ideas such as Fred Lowe's "Second Deal Sam" to the technical refinement of standard effects, as, for example, in Ed Marlo’s "Approach to the ‘Stop’ Trick."

Expert Card MysteriesAlton C. Sharpe From the introduction by Robert Parrish: Although much of the material in this book comes from advanced current contributors to card magic, Al has included some fascinating lore from the past. There is, for example, the first printed information on Eddie Fay's glimmer technique. I recall that the late Rufus Steele, an informed man of gamblers' dodges, simply refused to believe that Fay was using a reflector. He thought it was a put-on and that Fay was probably using a stack or a pack of marked cards. Then there is Paul LePaul's wonderful transportation of cards into a sealed envelope. Although he explained the trick... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

The Book of Card TricksR. Kunard From the preface: In offering this collection of Card Tricks to the public it has been my endeavour to make every particular as clear as possible to the uninitiated. It will readily be granted that practical illustration must be vastly superior to the most carefully-written description of anything which, at the same time, requires both rapidity and neatness in execution; yet it appears to me that, if in the following pages I have been successful in making the most intricate trick clear in the manner of its manipulation, proper practice for the acquirement of ease and certainty will do the... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Packet Magic(Jerry) J. K. Hartman From the introduction: The title suggests that the routines to be described solely involve small packets of cards. To that extent, it is inaccurate. Many of the routines utilize the full deck in varying degrees. The excuse is that they center around small groups of cards which by themselves are identifiable as packets, and thus can be combined in longer sequences with routines using those groups alone. Small packet routines seem to have a certain niceness and precision about them and thus have a particular fascination for cardmen. Fortunately, laymen are generally impressed as well, ascribing... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Card Fare(Jerry) J. K. Hartman Get ready for a firework of card magic starting where a card just vanishes, a pair of cards mysteriously rise, another shoots out of the deck as soon as named, and two others change locations. Jerry also presents his spin on prior work by by Trost, Krenzel, Corin, Dingle, Fulves, and others.
