A play-by-play exposé of the tricks of the card sharp's trade.

Moss gives general advice on how to avoid becoming a sucker or losing more money than luck alone would explain. The most interesting part is where he describes several sleights and strategies cardsharps use to cheat at the card table. Many of the sleights are illustrated with photos.

Published by Coe & Co. A rare booklet offered at the first 2023 Ricky Jay auction with an estimated price of $500-$800. Excerpt from the introduction:

This is the first monographic study by Dani DaOrtiz. Dedicated to the torn and restored cards. Eleven fascinating routines, for all levels; as well as a theoretic study on the torn cards, which deepens the necessity of using signatures. Duplicate cards without duplicates, signed cards secretly, or duplicate signatures in front of the spectators.

In addition, you can find the following tricks

• Flash pocket restoration
• Flash card box restoration
• Matrix restored
• Not another torn and restored
• Back in time
• "Plas!"
• The one
• Gag, the strongest magician!
• Restored in the shoe
• Instant restoration ...

Easy-to-do card miracles.

Contents:

• THREE-WAY MIRACLE PREDICTION (Nick Trost): Three amazing predictions you won't believe! Great routine.
• TEN MATE (Joe Rindfleisch): A spectator picks a card and you find its mate.
• 2' WAVE (Aldo Colombini): The "B'Wave" effect with regular cards. A selected Queen turns face up, has a different colored back and the other three cards are blank! Everything can be examined.
• BLANK-MAZEMENT (Rachel Colombini): A deck of blank-faced cards and two dice. The spectator finds the mates of your predictions.
• TWO BY TWO (Karl Fulves): You show cards two by two and they do not match....

"Jack's Wallet" is an ingenious way of predicting a freely-chosen card using an unfaked wallet, the sort you probably possess already. It is a 'stand-up' trick without the need for a table, the type that is becoming more and more popular.

The second effect, "Jack's Line-Up", is a mental masterpiece that, properly performed, will stagger an audience whether it's done impromptu or as part of a regular cabaret act.

Here are the more detailed effects:

JACK's WALLET: Briefly, a spectator selects a card. It is not forced. The performer allows another spectator to remove a sealed envelope...

Easy-to-do and commercial routines. The contents includes:

• ANIMAL CAPERS (Aldo Colombini)
• MAGILLOGICAL (Tom Daugherty)
• FLIPPING ACES (Aldo Colombini)
• MINI OIL & WATER (Aldo Colombini)
• 37-THREE (Karl Fulves)
• THE CUT KNOWS (Jean-Pierre Vallarino)
• CORNERED (Aldo Colombini)
• RED OR BLACK-WHICH? (Nick Trost)
• THE FLY CARDS (Aldo Colombini)
• REALLY FIT FOR KINGS (Gene Castillon)

[Note that in 1985 Tom Craven published a booklet with the same title which is completely unrelated to this material....

Out of print since 1992, but now converted from printed form to e-book. Seventeen terrific routines - illustrated.

Within you will encounter thirteen of Stephen's very best card routines, three magic-square effects (with a difference) and one purely numeric item that is a step sideways from the original inspiration. That 'step sideways' is really the key here! Stephen has tried to look at things from a slightly different direction. One not normally explored. Sometimes with very interesting results!

Excerpt from the Introduction:

Twentyone fantastic tricks with cards. Comes with several photos for a better and clearer description. If I had to get one book by Peter Duffie, this would be it.

1st edition, 2000.

KICK-START ACES: A spectator locates the four Aces in your deck (without looking!).

SWEET SIXTEEN: You show the four Fours which you point out total 16. You turn one face up. The face up four splits into two Twos. This leaves two face down cards. Question: "If the cards total 16, what should the remaining two face down cards total?" The audience reply, "Twelve?" "That's right," you say. "Well, actually it's...

It is a long time since Simon Aronson rocked the magic world with "Shuffle-Bored". Variations by Harry Lorayne "Equaliser", Aldo Colombini "Pre-Deck-Ability", Ali Bongo, John Bannon "Wait Until Dark" followed.

At first glance, Carbon Footprints may seem the same as some the above-mentioned concepts. It isn't! And, to make sure - Paul checked with Simon Aronson himself. He agreed.

With contributions by Joe Rindfleisch and Jon Racherbaumer.

The title of this eBook contains the well-known acronym for Any Card At Any Number, and illustrates my latest original and self-working version of the famous David Berglas' card magic effect, here featuring an original presentation and a devastating final surprise for the audience. Following is the presentation...

Some recurring rumors would report that NASA's delays with the launches of new rockets intended for planetary exploration are justified by problems with the "Countdown." Referring to this, the illusionist tells the audience how their engineers have recently allowed themselves to be convinced...

This effect is a variant of the Card at Any Number plot, but with a full routine and a very commercial and entertaining presentation, with gags, a prediction, or divination, with a puzzling final surprise revelation, and more potential. It can be adapted for any events like Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, Halloween, weddings, carnival, birthdays, conventions, etc.

It needs a one-time preparation that you can keep in your wallet or jacket, and can be used as an opener or a closer, for strolling, close up, parlor or stage.
