New Card Tricks with the Mark Twain StackDick ColeThe Mark Twain stack is a Si Stebbins stack with a four-apart sequence in SHoCkeD order. It was first published in the February 1935 issue of Modern Mechanix and Inventions magazine. This is a reproduction of this article. The Mark Twain stack, also called the Riverboat stack (see for example Magic Card System), due to the abundant gambling on Mississippi riverboats, gets its name from the practice on these riverboats to frequently having to measure the water depth. If it was two marks, pronounced 'mark twain', it was ok. 1st edition 1935; PDF 4 pages. | $4 to wish list | |

MirabillDr. Bill CushmanNow, one of the mentalism's greatest "self-working" effects has been simplified to the point where it really is self-working! One early reviewer referred to Mirabill as "Miraskill minus the skill." "He told me to bring a deck of cards and we'd play a friendly game. Never trust a man who calls a game friendly." "I still can't fathom how it happened. They were my cards. I shuffled. I dealt. Yet somehow he still knew ahead of time exactly how things would turn out." "If it had happened once I might have convinced myself he just got lucky. But the second time destroyed any such thoughts.... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |

The good doctor had been seeking a way to perform Mirabill over the phone ever since its release but it seemed impossible. Until now.

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 | |
